Cody & Tina

This was one of the most fun couples I've worked with this year. They just enjoyed being together the whole time and Tina is extremely photogenic. It was great because they were really open to trying a few new things like climbing through a great old caboose we found in the West Bottoms and hiking all over the Burr Oak Woods Conservation Area.

I love how this shoot turned out and am definitely excited for their wedding in August.

Kyle & Laura

Ah, were to start with these two. We're really gotten to know Kyle and Laura pretty well over the course of their search for a wedding photographer. They honestly talked to and interviewed a good portion of the studios in not only Kansas City but the midwest. They had a style in mind and wanted to find the right fit. It really is nice to be working with a couple that take photography so seriously and we are truly honored to be working with them.

Now to explain one of the craziest shoots I have ever done. We went all over with these guys, started at the West Bottoms, then to Maple Woods Conservation Area in Parkville, and finally to Downtown Parkville (stopping a couple times along the way). On the way to Parkville we were rear-ended; yes, an accident. Luckily everyone was okay but still fairly shaken-up. Still, being the strong couple they are we pressed on. While at Maple Woods we discovered that Laura was missing one of her earrings (which of course was a diamond anniversary gift). We still moved on and they went back to the Bottoms to look for it later. They didn't find it right away but after I went through their pictures and figured out where she wasn't wearing it they were able to track it down.

Even with all the bad luck we really had a lot of fun. They were up for anything, which is important with me :) I'm really happy with how their shoot turned out and we're really looking forward to their wedding in June.

Kyle's poor car.

Chris & Alyson's Wedding

Chris & Alyson were a laid-back couple. Things started a little late but they went with the flow and had fun. They took us to a wonderful park in Mission, KS and we got some great fall shots. The reception was at the Mission Theater which was beautiful but surprisingly hard to photograph (light was challenging). They had a fun movie theme that really fit the space. Enjoy.
