Kaylee+Cole / / Wedding / / Joplin

Kaylee and Cole got married at the Methodist Church in Joplin, Missouri. This wedding just couldn't have been any better! I arrived at the church to get a few shots of Kaylee getting her makeup done, snagged a few shots of the dress, shoes, details and such :) Then we went on a little church tour, exploring the grounds for a few photo sessions in different places. I just love the backdrop that a big stone building provides, and the sanctuary with that giant organ :) After the ceremony, we headed downtown with the father of the bride's classic Mercedes for a portrait session with the Bride and Groom. We explored the city streets and a back alley and these two were pros in their first photo sesh' as husband and wife! Once we hit the Elks Lodge for the reception, Kaylee and her Mom, Dad, and Brother knew just how to get the party started! They headed straight for the dance floor and started belting out Journey's 'Don't Stop Believing' ! It was amazing. I think this crew definitely knows how to have a little fun! A few heart felt speeches, some feverish dancing, and one big fireworks show later, and this wedding went down as one for the ages!

Here are just a few of my favorites from Kaylee and Coles Wedding Day! Enjoy...

Jenny+Brock / / Creekwood Gardens / / Wedding

Jenny+Brock got married this June at Creekwood Gardens in Rogers, Arkansas. When I arrived at the venue which I had not photographed prior, I was in backdrop overload. So many beautiful spots to capture the love of these two on their wedding day. Little did I know it was about to start raining for the better part of the day! BUT, we made the best of it, grabbed our umbrellas and headed outdoors. Jenny & Brock were game for anything. What could have been a sticky situation turned out to be a blessing as the rain added an element to the photos that I just love about Jenny and Brock's portfolio.

I met these two last year when we got together for their engagement session. We got to know each other a bit while exploring some countryside and doing some fun crossfit pics. One thing that you notice immediately when you meet this happy couple is that they are deeply and madly in love with each other! Their love makes them so easy to photograph and one of my favorite couples ever.

Jenny was absolutely stunning in her dress. I've gotten so many comments on the few photos I've shared already about how beautiful her dress is :) Brock was a dashing groom rocking the grey suit look with brown dress shoes. This couple and their wedding album are magazine worthy in every way! This wedding was one for the books!

Here are just a few of my favorites from Jenny+Brock's early summer wedding! Enjoy...

Amy+Jordan / / Amelie / / Roxy / / Wedding

The Amelie Event Center & Roxy in Downtown Joplin set the stage for this early summer wedding! Amy and Jordan were the perfect wedding to get June started off right! I just love weddings in an urban setting, and this event space and surrounding area is such a 'backdrop rich' environment.

I could tell pretty early on in the day with the popping of champagne corks and such a fun natured bridal party that this day was going to be one for the books. We explored the event space and Downtown Joplin for our bridal party portraits. As guests started arriving, they were all served cocktails pre-wedding:) Genius! I love this idea! Everyone should do this! Amy & Jordan tied the knot with their kiddos at their side and surrounded by friends and family.

Here are a few of my favorite images from Amy + Jordan's Downtown Wedding. Enjoy:)

Shelby+Jay / / The Ramsey / / Wedding / / Joplin, Missouri

Shelby+Jay got married this April at the Ramsey Event Center in Downtown Joplin, Missouri. Not even the biggest rain storm in recent history was going to stop these sweet hearts. We were able to get outside for few shots and capture some of the last little bit of daylight we had left with it being so overcast. This whole wedding party rocked it for our little photo shoot in the rain. Check out a few of our favorites from Shelby & Jay's wedding. Enjoy!

Ashley+Tyler / / The K / / West Bottoms / / Plaza / / KC Engagement

This is some of the absolute most fun we've ever had on a photo shoot! When your client asks if it would be possible to start early in the day at Kaufmann Stadium, the answer is always YES!! That being said, it definitely added a degree of difficulty to the photo shoot I hadn't anticipated, which was me trying not to 'fan-boy' in an empty dugout and stadium where all my favorite players play:) Ashley and Tyler rocked this engagement shoot in front of some of the most beautiful backdrops Kansas City has to offer. We started at The K, then down to the West Bottoms, and finished up on the Plaza. Here are just a few of our favorites from their Kansas City engagement 'shoot. Enjoy...

Erica+Cody / / Amadeus Ranch / / Wedding / / Seneca, Missouri

Erica and Cody got married this April at Amadeus Ranch in Seneca, Missouri. I got to meet this sweet couple back in 2016 at Roaring River State Park. We waited for the rain to give in before starting with their engagement session. I could tell instantly that these two were so deeply in love and probably counting down the days until they could call each other husband and wife.

What an amazing day at Amadeus Ranch. We spent most of it indoors trying to escape the wind and that mid-day light, but that's what's awesome about this venue. It is beautiful indoors and out, with so many great photo spots. Their wedding party and family were a blast to be around and I had such a fun time getting to be their to document this beautiful spring wedding. I'm so excited to see this amazing couple start their life together!

Below are just a few of my favorites from Erica & Cody's Wedding Day :) Enjoy!

Beth+Matt / / Kansas Wedding

Beth & Matt became Mr. & Mrs. Winter on April 1st, 2017. The happy couple got married in Neodesha, Kansas at the Grace Baptist Church. The reception followed in Independence, Kansas at the Historic Booth Hotel.

It's always such an honor getting to be in the midst of true love on a wedding day. Going back through these images one by one, it's difficult deciding which ones to share. Just so much goodness in one album! Capturing these wedding day memories that will last a lifetime or longer for sweet couples like Beth + Matt is my dream job. Sometimes I have to pinch myself that I actually get to do this for a living:)

Here are just a few of my favorites from Beth + Matt's spring time Kansas Wedding! Enjoy!
