Madison+Charlie | Downtown KC Engagement Session

I met my new friends Madison and Charlie down by Hotel Kansas City for their engagement session. We did a little walkabout downtown and explored the city streets and alley ways. I just love all the beautiful backdrops this city has to offer. From there we headed out to an old parking garage where you can see downtown Kansas City in the background and then the WWI memorial for sunset. Here’s a few of our favorite images from Madison and Charlie’s Kansas City Engagement Session.

Adyson+Drew | Kansas Wedding

I say this a lot, but this day was truly perfect. Everything about it from start to finish was what wedding dreams are made of. We had the most lovely, laid back, beautiful couple in Ady and Drew, with the most fun bridal party who was up for all of our photo shenanigans (and continuously ‘iced’ each other throughout the day), and the most beautiful outdoor ceremony and reception out on Adyson’s parents’ land. As a wedding photographer, this is seriously the 10/10, all I ever hope for in a wedding….awesome people, good energy, beautiful scenery, and optimal lighting conditions. It was an honor and a pleasure to document this entire wedding day for Ady and Drew. Here’s a few of our favorite’s from their wedding. Enjoy…

Family Photos | Lake Winnebago, KCMO

I know I keep saying this, and I can’t really say it enough I guess. Bring me your large family groups. I love this kind of photoshoot. Bring the kids, bring the cousins, bring the dogs, bring the props, bring the grandparents, bring it all. This group had 26 total. Sixteen kids and ten adults and in an hour and a half we got individuals of every kiddo, individual group family photos, couple portraits, and large family group pictures. It’s so important to keep the walls and halls of your homes updated with the photographs that represent your family’s love. From this session, there were a little over 400 ‘keepers’ that will be returned to this family in their album. Here’s a few of our favorite images from this large family group…Book your large family group today!!

Mariah+Richard | KC Wedding

We got to photograph the absolute sweetest couple for their wedding at the Mallinson Vineyard and Winery in Kansas City. Surrounded by a group of their closest friends and family, Mariah and Richard said their vows under an old tree overlooking the vineyard. We couldn’t have picked a better place to have this wedding. The Vineyard has so many options for great portraits, including two separate ceremony sites, so much beautiful foliage, both indoor and outdoor options, and on site overnight rental options. Oh, and do yourself a favor and get yourself a wine slushy:) Yumm. Here’s a few of our favorites from Mariah and Richard’s wedding day. Enjoy!

Emily+Austin | Missouri Wedding

Truth be told, I wish a lot more weddings were like Emily and Austin’s. Outdoor ceremony out in a beautiful Missouri field by the creek, a couple of tents and some string lights and all your closest friends and family. It seriously makes the best wedding photo albums. I started off at a nearby church with Emily and the girls getting ready. There I began with the details as I always do. Emily had all of the perfect little touches to add to her detail collection. The bride read a little letter that Austin had sent to her and from there it was time to get dressed, do a quick first look with the father of the bride and head over to our ceremony location for portraits of the bridesmaids and groomsmen separately. After portraits, everyone watched as Emily and Austin said their vows under an old tree, sun shining down, perfect weather, all of the stuff your wedding dreams are made of. Afterwards, we did some more bridal party portraits and family photos and then the couple danced the night away under the outdoor lights with their friends and family. We capped the night off with some shotgunned beers and a few games of flip cup. What a perfect day :) Here’s a few of my personal favorites from Emily and Austin’s Missouri Wedding. Enjoy!

Janelle+Cody | Kansas Wedding

Spring time weddings are in full effect and they are some of my favorite. All of the foliage is starting to come into bloom and we’re starting to get some nice days coming out of winter. We began this beautiful wedding with Janelle and her bridesmaids getting ready at a family home in Frontenac. Janelle was just finishing up hair and makeup as we arrived so we started photographing all of the wedding details to begin the day. Next we met up with Cody and his groomsmen at the Timmons Chapel on Pittsburg State’s campus. After a few getting ready shots with the guys, Janelle had arrived for the first look with our Bride and Groom. They saw each other for the first time inside the chapel, in a sweet private moment for the two of them, and afterward they were joined by their son in the Chapel for a few family portraits. We then moved outdoors for all of portraits. Here are a few of our favorites….

Ashlyn+Grant | Colorado Wedding
Ashlyn+Grant | Colorado Wedding

I’ve traveled a lot over the years for weddings to different parts of the country, and I’ve found that the older I get, the less enchanted I’ve become with the prospect of a destination wedding. But a Colorado mountain wedding just does something for my soul. It reinvigorates my passion and love for what I do, reminds me why I do it, and pushes me further forward in this journey of wedding photography that I’ve been on for over ten years now. We started back in 2012 and back then, traveling for a wedding wasn’t even a thought in my head. Now I’m headed to far off places a few times a year, and I’m forever grateful for these opportunities to see all the beautiful parts of this country.

When Ashlyn and Grant contacted me about photographing their wedding in Colorado, I jumped at the opportunity. Colorado is a state that I fell in love with in my teenage years and early twenties, traveling out to snowboard and vacation with friends and family over the years. These days I’m in love with Colorado for a different reason. Because it provides the most beautiful backdrop for gorgeous wedding photos, and traveling out for a wedding is an absolutely excellent excuse for a mini vacation. Those two pair really nicely together. Just another reason for me to love this profession that I’ve chosen.

This new small gathering of friends and family in an Air BnB, I’m here for it. I seem to be getting more and more of this style of wedding, and it makes my job so much easier for a lot of reasons. A lot of times it means smaller bridal parties, like in Ashlyn & Grant’s wedding, which means I get to spend so much more time doing portraits with the bride and groom. I’m never mad about that. The small elopements also eliminate a lot of the hustle and bustle and distractions you get with big production weddings. Again, less distraction makes my job so much easier to do.

Being a Dad to a little girl myself, anything Father Daughter related always puts my in my feelings. Dad’s dancing with their daughters at their weddings, walking them down the aisle and giving them away or just a random Toyota commercial, it all hits me that way. So when I heard Bill start to read this letter from his daughter Ashlyn, well I’ll just say it’s nice to have such a big camera to hide my face. It went something like this as Bill emotionally read the tear filled note…“Dad….I hope you know that I am an absolute mess writing this. Not because I’m a girl, but because I have been and always will be a daddy’s girl. I’ve always looked forward to this day with you. It’s hard to come to the realization that you are officially giving me away today. I might have some of your bad genes, health wise, but I most definitely have all of your good ones that make me strong and independent like you, and hardheaded, love you”.

Ashlyn and Grant wrote the most heart felt vows to each other and read them as the snow fell down around them, surrounded by their closest group of friends and all their family. It was a magical site to see and one I won’t soon forget.
