Jason & Kara's Wedding sneak peek - Manhattan, KS wedding photography
I arrived in Manhattan Saturday morning and couldn't believe we were getting yet another beautiful weather day. That worked out perfect as Jason and Kara were set to wed atop the Flint Hills Discovery Center in Manhattan. I usually get to meet with my brides and grooms before they book me for their wedding, but since this couple lived on the other side of Kansas, they took the word of their friend and past bride of mine that we would be a great fit for each other and they were right! I met Kara at Gaia salon that morning and we instantly hit it off. She is such a genuine and kind person I knew it would be a wonderful wedding to photograph. After the ladies got their hair and make-up done, Kara had her first look with Jason who I'm happy to say was just as delightful. Throughout the day they were constantly smiling at each other making my job that much easier! It was so much fun to ride around with the whole bridal party before the wedding on the trolly they rented going to different beautiful photo locations before returning to the Flint Hills Discovery Center for the rooftop ceremony and reception. Here are a few sneak peek photos of their delightful day!
Matt & Laurie's wedding sneak peek - Kansas City wedding photography
I started what turned out to be a beautiful weekend photographing Matt and Laurie's wedding on Friday (Cinco de Mayo!). They chose a wondeful venue I hadn't been to before called Brookside Gardens where upstairs they had a wonderful area for the bride and bridesmaids to prepare for their day. It allowed in the wonderful natural light from the beautiful day it was! The ladies looked so cute as they got pampered while wearing their cute matching robes. Once ready they headed over to the St. Rose Philippine Catholic Church where they were married in a very traditional Catholic ceremony. Both Matt and Laurie were just glowing when they headed back down the aisle as husband and wife. The couple being very into family opted to have the entire extended family meet at Loose Park in Kansas City for a large group shot, followed by more intimate photos of the bridal party and bride and groom. They completed the evening by heading back to the Brookside Gardens for non other than a Mexican feast in celebration of Cinco De Mayo. I loved watching Matt and Laurie interact during the evening as their love for each other is so apparent. Here is a quick sneak peek of their day:
Shawn & Hannah's wedding sneak peek - Kansas City Wedding Photography
For the first time in 9yrs of shooting weddings, we had a total rain out on Saturday for Shawn and Hannah's wedding. We received about 3 inches of rain that day and it never let up for us to go outside and get any type of outdoor photos. We made the best of it though and Shawn and Hannah were just happy to be getting married! They were wed up on Strawberry Hill in Kansas City at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church. The views of the Kansas City skyline are just wonderful up there! After the ceremony they traveled to Overland Park to the Marriott Hotel where they hosted a beautifully decorated reception and even rented our photo booth for the evening. It's so fun for me to shoot a wedding with couples and their family and friends like Shawn and Hannah's. They all danced the night away and were so entertaining! Enough of the chatting, here is their sneak peek from the day:
Seth and Marissa - A wedding sneak peek - Topeka, KS Wedding Photography
It's back into prime wedding season for me so you shall start seeing more and more blogs of weddings once again! This past weekend I was honored to photograph Seth and Marissa's wedding. The ceremony was at the Most Pure Heart of Mary Catholic Church in Topeka, KS. It was a huge, lovely church with a great long aisle to capture the bride as she walked with her father to the alter where she met her groom who was seeing her for the first time. We were fortunate that the weather forcast changed from possible rain to a beautiful sunny day for us to grab some outdoor photos over at Gage park before heading to the reception at the beautiful Overland Station. Marissa had all the details layed out beautifully and the evening was delightful with all her guests appearing to have a wonderful time.

Rothwell-Simmons Wedding Sneak Peek - Leawood, KS wedding photography
It's always such an honor when a close friend asks me to photograph their wedding, not to mention a fellow photographer! This past weekend a good friend of mine, Janene, was married in a smaller intimate wedding ceremony at the Calvary Chapel in Leawood, Kansas. Being a photographer herself, she had an eye for detail with the beautiful decorations she choose. They followed the ceremony with a cake and punch reception where their closest friend and family joyfully celebrated the union with them. Thanks again Janene and Mike for allowing me to capture your love so perfectly! Here is a little sneak peek of their day.
