Maddie & Mark

Maddie is a sweetheart. Mark is a sweetheart too. They are a happy, romantic couple that prefer to live in paradise. It’s not a metaphor, they actually live in St. Croix, Virgin Islands. But they got married in Kansas City, actually at her mom’s house right on lake Lotawana. Such a pretty setup. Claire was shooting with me that day. She is a sweetheart as well.

Pontoon boats were the mean of transportation of choice. And you can have a flute of champagne as well, as long as you are not driving…

Emily & Brett

Emily & Brett were married at Attonement Lutheran Church in Overland Park, Kansas.

Before the ceremony, they had a “private viewing” in the chapel and then we boarded the trolley

which took the bridal party of 14 to downtown kansas city for some urban shooting. Lots’o'love happening here!

The reception was at The Club 1000 (10th and Broadway) that had an awesome view of the city from the (very sunny) rooftop.

All the details of the day were perfect including the beautiful (and yummy) cakes made by Carens Cakes of Kansas City.

And the catering by Sean Swindle of “Catering By Sean” was delicious (especially the salmon)

The flowers were spectacular thanks to Rosemary Riha Clyde of Final Touch Studios.

The details all came together thanks to Jayme from Event Studio.

Natalie and JT engagement session

We are going to shoot Natalie and JT’s wedding this September. The wanted to have an engagement session somewhere downtown Kansas City. We talked about options for locations so that we could give them the photography the expected. Eventually we ended up deciding for South West Boulevard and surrounding areas. I guess the lure of a cold margarita played an important role in the decision process.

Right after sunset we found this really cool alley we didn’t know about. I love how the sky got so gloomy and the only available light was a yellow light bulb above the doorway. I was shooting with my tilt and shift while Jan was using an ultra wide. The results are both dramatic and romantic at the same time. Really happy about how this engagement session turned out.

The Anderson’s family welcomes their new baby

We photographed Jackson when he was just a couple of weeks old but he looked really alert and intrigued by the big studio light.

The whole family joined in for some images. I really liked this one in particular. Lots of things going on and a really cool post processing by Sarah; love it.

Babies are something that just makes us melt inside a little bit, specially when they are soundly asleep.

Or when they make a little mess…

Big brother Caleb wasn’t camera shy either and played along for some fun images.
