Thompson wedding sneak peek - Topeka, KS wedding photography
I met Trudie and Chris through a mishap when the photographer they previously hired accidentally booked two weddings for the same date! Knowing the other photographer and hating for that to happen to anyone, I told her I would meet with this couple and shoot the wedding for them so they wouldn't have to stress! Well at least not about that, Trudie and Chris had a ton of other "mishaps" during their wedding (melting cake, missing flowers etc.) but that didn't stop them from having a fantastic wedding and "getting hitched" anyways! As I always tell my brides and grooms, If everything goes perfect on your wedding day, you won't have any funny stories to tell later! Well, they wont have that problem! Here are some photos from their fantastic day!
Johnny & Vanessa's Sneak Peek - Hays, Kansas Wedding Photography
What's better then spending a Saturday shooting a wedding? Shooting one for some good friends! Johnny and Vanessa were married this past Saturday in Hays, Kansas. Unfortunately the weather wasn't as nice as we were hoping for a spring wedding (tons of rain the night before making everything muddy, combined with a cold day Saturday gave us a shorter amount of outdoor shooting time) . The ladies began their morning at J Salon in downtown Hays, where they got all dolled up for the day and the ladies brought some yummy treats to snack on (along with some tasty mimosas). The wedding was held at St. Michaels church, and the reception out in the Unrein building at the fairgrounds where they also chose to have the photo booth set up. It was a great wedding, both from a photographers view, and as a friend attending. It was fun to capture and be a part of their day, along with enjoying some food, dancing and drinks at the reception with other friends and family. Ok Ok, I know everyone just wants to see the photos, so here is their sneak peek:
Spring time - Engagement time ! - Susannah & Manny - Engaged
As spring is now in full bloom, engagement and wedding season is heavy upon us! After the slower winter months, it's so nice to have a fresh start for the season getting to know my future brides and grooms as we travel around to do their engagement sessions. I met Susannah a few months ago at a local bridal show. After talking some time we realized we attended the same church and just really hit it off. I was so glad when she contacted me to photograph her and Manny's engagement session. They are a couple who are so affectionate to each other they are joy to watch. The couple opted for a downtown Kansas City shoot in Loose Park, followed by a few shots over at Union Station. I'm sure you'll see their "glow" in these as their love for each other was radiating!
If you're still looking for someone to photograph your engagement/ wedding, contact me soon as 2016 dates are almost full!
Topeka, Kansas Wedding Photography - Abe & Korie's wedding sneak peek
From the moment I met Abe and Korie, I knew we would be a great fit to work together capturing their special moments on their wedding day. We all come from Christian families and share a lot of the same values which makes shooting their wedding even more memorable and fun for me. I loved seeing the way they kept God in the forefront of their wedding day and even spent a moment praying together after their first look, before the ceremony started. The couple was wed at Topeka Bible Church in Topeka, Kansas (fantastic place too) and had their reception at Agriculture Hall at the Topeka Expo Center. Their colors were just perfect for a spring wedding and the day was just a blessing to be a part of. Here is a sneak peek of their day:
Chris & Eva's Wedding - Oskaloosa, Kansas Wedding Photography
Well here is to my first wedding of the 2016 season. I haven't blogged much over the winter months as those are usually the photographers quiet months, but as of this past weekend, wedding season is again officially underway. Engagement sessions are also in popular demand as the weather gradually turns to spring so be expecting to see some of those shoots in the coming weeks. But on to the couple of the hour!!!
Chris and Eva are such a great couple to work with. Their love was evident from the first time I got to photograph them during their engagement shoot last summer! Chris is a Police officer in Lawrence, Kansas and Eva just took her BAR exam to become an attorney, what a perfect pairing! Their wedding day this past Saturday was also perfect, aside from a few spring snow fluries, and blowing wind which made it a little too brisk to spend much time outdoors taking photos. Their ceremony and reception took place out at the Chrisman Manor in Oskaloosa Kansas. Such a nice place they have out there with quiet seclusion and what would be a lovely outdoor landscape for photos (had it been a little warmer!). A special thanks to Chris and Eva for allowing me to be a part of their special day. Here is a little sneak peek from their wedding day:
