Dennis and Seo Hee

It has been awhile since my last blog post.  I've been busy working, I swear!  So, this is Dennis and Seo Hee.  They live in New York and wanted me to shoot their pre-wedding reception.  It was held at the lovely Eldridge Hotel, right here in downtown Lawrence.  We met them for the first time in their room at the hotel and went straight to work.  Using the natural light coming through the windows of the hotel room, we got some sweet shots.  Here, have a look...

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bridal Show alert!

Just wanted to do a quick blog post to let people know that we'll be at the Perfect Wedding Guide Winter Wedding Showcase(whew, try saying that 3 times, really fast!), this Saturday the 16th from 10am-5pm at the Topeka, Kansas Expocentre.

Come to our booth and say hi!  Mention this blog post and you might just get a discount, if you book us for your wedding!

Here's a photo of our booth from the bridal show last year.(crummy iphone photo, but you get the idea!)

Karen and Colin

Time to get this blog up to date, sort of.  Here's the delightfully cute couple, Karen and Colin.  We shot their wedding back in October when the leaves were colorful, the sky was blue, and the temperature was far from 19 degrees.  It was a beauty of a day.  We got some super images including a first for us...you see...Karen and Colin both still have and cherish their favorite childhood stuffed animals...they asked if these said animals could join them in a couple of shots..."of course!" we replied.  Take a look!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've been completely swimming in wedding photos for the last month.  Who knew that October had become the new June for weddings?!  October was the busiest month for us this year and I've been eating, breathing, and sleeping wedding photography for two months straight.  Three weddings in Oct. equaled 3,225 images to sort and edit.  It's a mountain of photos I tell ya!

Well I'm taking a break from that to make this update.  Here's a wedding we shot in Topeka last month.  This is Kristen and Kevin.  They were great fun.  There was much laughter, tons of dancing, all on a perfectly sunny fall day.  We really had a blast at this one!  Have a looky.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Albums....(hey, this is what you get!)

Okay, so today I thought I'd make a post about the albums that I design for my brides and grooms.  I design each and every album from scratch.  I don't use yucky, cheesy templates.  Each page layout design comes straight from here!(I'm pointing to my noggin')  Each album is designed with the bride and groom's personality in mind and that makes each one unique.  The albums come in two sizes, 10"x10" and 5"x5"(the 5x5's make nifty parent's albums).  They have a "gutterless" page design, which allows me to do photo spreads that stretch across two pages with only a 1 millimeter gap.   Another cool bit about the albums...the pages lay flat when it's open, amazing!  My favorite cover is the black leather(it's super soft and smells delicious!).  So, enough gabbing, take a look at the albums already...

Each album comes comes with a super cool box.(bonus!)

 

 

Notice the photo going across the gutter...nice!

 

 The pages laying flat...

Super adorable 5x5 album!

Casey and Chris

Chris is a baseball player with hopes of being drafted into the Big Leagues. He had a life long dream of getting married on a baseball field, so that's exactly what he did. He proposed to his high school sweetheart at his hometown baseball stadium and the rest is history!

This was probably the most unique setting for a wedding that I've had the pleasure to shoot. It was not without it's challenges...it was at high noon(not the best light for photography!)and it was 90+ degrees.(there's really no way to make sweat look romantic!) 

They were sweet kids and even though it felt like we were on the surface of the sun, they were patient and willing to find the "best" shots. Here are some that I liked...
