Alicia & Steven {engaged}
I had so much fun with Alicia & Steven for their engagement session! We met downtown for some more formal shots before changing into more casual clothing. We found all sorts of amazing shooting locations and it was beautiful outside so it made it even more perfect! We ended up in Old Town Square and Steven just happened to have an umbrella in his car ... you know what that means .... fountain time!! I loved that it went so perfectly with all the bright colors around! After a quick clothing change, we headed over to the Keeper of the Plains Bridge and shot for a while there before heading down to the Hyatt. I somehow talked them into getting into the waterfalls at the Hyatt, despite it being FREEZING!! They were such good sports and so much fun!!

Nichole & Dave {engaged}
It was so fun meeting up with Nichole & Dave for their Engagement Session! They booked their wedding with me quite a while ago and I have visited with Nichole at the different bridal shows and I can not believe it's almost wedding time for them!!!
It was beautiful out the day of their Engagement Session so we headed over to College Hill Park. We stopped for a few shots on the bridge that Dave proposed. It was so sweet seeing them giggle together there! We found a beautiful brick wall and cool old door at the pool house there too! I am a sucker for bricks and old doors!!
We headed downtown for a few more shots and I was so thrilled to talk them into getting into the fountains!! Of course, I would not ask my wonderful clients to do anything that I wouldn't do so I rolled up my pant legs and got in the water with them! It was FREEEEEEEZING!!!!! They were so much fun and such good sports!!
I can not wait for their October wedding!!! I think I may be just a bit excited to see their ring bearer ... which is a penguin!!! How fun!!

Kat & Jason {married 09.17.11}
I was so excited to make the trip to Savannah, GA for one of my long time best friends wedding!
Kat and I have known each other since about 6th grade and have stayed in touch long distance for the past 20 or so years (not showing my age at all there, am I ...). I was thrilled when she called me to tell me the big news and I immediately started planning my trip!
I met Jason on my last visit to Savannah about 4 years ago and my first impression was he is sooo quiet! Needless to say, he has warmed up to me by now and he is genuinely a great guy and a perfect match for one of my besties!!
Their beautiful wedding took place at Jason's parents home about an hour outside of Savannah. If you have never been to Georgia, it is breathtakingly beautiful! I love all the lush greenery and the "tall skinny trees" as I call them. Jason's mom and aunts as well as a few other important people did an amazing job at putting together this outdoor ceremony and reception! They did not miss a detail!
I could not be more happy for Kat and Jason and I know they will have many happy years together!! I also look forward to my next visit to Savannah to see Kat and Jason again and to check out all the amazing city offers!

Alex, Josh & family {custom creative session}
Last week I met up with Alex, Josh, Grace and their new addition, baby MacKenzie. The weather was beautiful and baby had a full belly! We were able to get some cute ones along with a few baby cray face shots too! I still love the crying ones! We went to a nice shady area outside and finished up with a few shots of the entire family and then some of them all separately.
Congrats Alex & Josh on your new addition!

Melissa & Loren {married 08.06.11}
Melissa & Loren are married! What a beautiful day it was! We started off at Hillside Christian Church which was the location of their amazing ceremony.
Melissa's gown from I Do Bridal was just gorgeous! Of course, she had amazing shoes too and I am a sucker for amazing shoes!! Their colors were Tiffany blue, black & white. I love this color combo! It just oozes romantic!
The guys tuxes were from Men's Warehouse. They were looking sharp! The amazing flowers were provided by a family friend. They were beautiful!!
We stepped out before the ceremony to do some fun shots with the girls while the guys were in their dressing room. They all looked amazing! Next, it was the guys turn! They all went back into their dressing rooms to do a little last minute touch up before the wedding. We snagged the rings for a few fun shots too! The rings are very special to Melissa & Loren because they were made from a grandparent's ring. It's always nice to see so much thought go into something so special!
The ceremony was beautiful! The bride and groom assembled a unity cross and shared in a holy communion before they were announced as husband and wife!
We had time for all the family formals before heading to Mid-America All Indian Center for the reception. We stopped outside for a few fun wedding party photos and some lovely photos of the new Mr. & Mrs. before they were announced to their guests.
The DJ, which was also a family friend announced the entire wedding party as well as the bride & groom into their reception! The awesome cake, which was made by the bride's mother, was beautiful! The groom's mother made the KU inspired groom's cake! They are so lucky to have such talented people!
After the wedding party enjoyed their dinner provided by Hog Wild BBQ, they listened while the best man and maid of honor said their heartfelt toasts. The bride and groom then shared in their first dance as husband and wife followed by the father/daughter and mother/son dance. It's always so sweet to watch the love fill the room during these dances!
The bouquet and garter toss was next followed by the dollar dance! All the guests were then invited to join the couple on the dance floor and everyone was having a blast!
We ended the evening with a few more night shots of just the bride and groom. I have to say this was one of the smoothest weddings I have ever shot! Everything was actually ahead of schedule, everyone was in great spirits and it made for an amazing day! Congrats you two!!
Special thanks to Jessica Noelle Rozof for an amazing job as my second photographer and assistant for the day!

Amber & Tommy {married 07.15.11}
I was so happy to share in Amber & Tommy's wedding day! We started off at Lux Nail Studio where the girls were getting pampered! The groom was busy getting ready at his parents house with his adorable daughter.
Amber headed back to her house to get ready with help from her mom. Her dress from David's Bridal was just perfect for an outdoor summer wedding!
Amber & Tommy decided to do a First Look. If you have never heard of this, its simple. Its a special time prior to the ceremony for just the Bride and Groom (we are standing from afar capturing this for you!). This is the WOW moment for the couple without the stress of 100 guests watching in the background! The emotion and expressions from a First Look usually are more natural and raw than during the ceremony. This also gives you plenty of time to do your formal photographs prior to the ceremony as well.
After the First Look, it was time for the ceremony! Amber had her beautiful bouquet from Susan's Floral. The joy of the day filled the air!
We had some time to do some more amazing photos of just the Bride and Groom before starting the reception. Amber and Tommy then cut their awesome cake and enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife followed by the father/daughter and mother/son dance. Tommy also had a quick dance with his daughter. The bouquet and garter was tossed before making their getaway!
We spent a little time in Old Town playing in the fountains before the newlyweds called it a night. It was an amazing day for an amazing couple! Congrats Tommy & Amber!

Ashly & Troy {engaged}
Last weekend I had a great time meeting up with Ashly & Troy. It was so hot outside that we waited until later in the evening for their session ... it was still hot! They were both such good sports for sticking with me while we went on a hike though the park. Although Troy does not necessarily like the act of getting his photo taken (like most guys) he did an amazing job! They are such a sweet couple with an awesome sense of humor! I can't wait for their beautiful October wedding!

Amber & Tommy {engagement}
I had such a fun time with Amber & Tommy for their Engagement Session this past weekend!
They brought along Tommy's adorable daughter and their two dogs! We started out in Heritage Square Park which will be the beautiful location of their wedding here in just a couple of weeks!
It was so very hot outside so I was able to talk them into getting into the water to "cool off" while I got some amazing shots of the two of them! They are so very much in love!
We ended the session with getting completely drenched in the fountains!! It's always a fun time and it gave us some much needed coolness!
Congrats you two!! Looking forward to your gorgeous wedding!!
