Ryan + Natalia - 10.17.2009

This wedding was so incredibly beautiful! Natalia did such a great job of adding lots of great details throughout the day. I love it when couples really make the wedding unique. You want your wedding to to reflect yourself and she did such a great job at this (see below in the pics).Natalia is one of the sweetest, fun people I have met. I absolutely loved working with her and her husband Ryan, when the day finally came it felt like I was more photographing a wedding for a good friend. Thanks Ryan and Natalia for having my photograph your special day!

Don't you just love these wreaths! I think it's such a cute idea to do the initials. Natalia is so crafty she made them herself! This is such a great cost saving idea. Wreaths are very pricey but if you get some fake flowers and do them yourself it ends up being really inexpensive and adorable.

I loved the chunky red jewelry she found for the bridesmaids. A great modern take on the traditional red and black wedding color scheme.

Natalia handmade all of these beautiful place cards. Another great way to personalize your wedding.

This little ring bearer was so adorable! He fell for the flower girl and made this note for her to ask her to dance with him!!

The Candy Bar - great way to pull in your wedding colors and create a fun place for you guests to load up on candy before the reception.

I love this ice sculpture, how often do you see that?

I highly recommend getting a photo booth, it's a great way to get a picture of all your guests and it's a take home gift they will actually take home!

Urban Wedding!

This wedding was so much fun to photograph. I had so many new surroundings and it made it so much fun to shoot! Jackie and Jim had their wedding at Berg Event Space in Kansas City, Mo. It is Ron Bergs' photo studio and he rents it out for weddings and other events. It's a really neat urban space in downtown Kansas City. I apologize in advance for posting so many pictures, I just couldn't choose. If you would like to see the full slideshow go to Jackie and Jim.




















Aren't the flowers beautiful! Thanks to Erin at Erin Volate Floral!!

Beautiful Wedding Reception!

This shot is from a backyard wedding reception I photographed this past weekend. It was way out in the country and you could see so many stars! Such a beautiful place. I had fun experiementing with some long exposures on my new 5D to see how it did. The one below is a 45sec exposure and I can't believe the image quality. More to come soon!

Joe and Stacy's Wedding (yup that's my brother and new sister in law!)

I am so excited! I have finally finished retouching the pictures from my brother's wedding in Estes Park, Co, Co. I had such an amazing time photographing it. It was a great change of pace, photographing a wedding in the mountains is beautiful! I really took this opportunity to have fun with my photography and try new things. Below are a few of the photos from the wedding, if you would like to see the full slideshow go to Joe and Stacy's Wedding. Thanks to Joe and Stacy for having me photograph their wedding it was such an honor. Congrats to the both of you and Stacy welcome to the family!!

Photoshoot I assisted on for Hallmark Magazine

Here are some scans from a photo shoot I assited for on Hallmark Magazine! This was such a fun shoot, I enjoyed seeing everyone in their creative hats! The photographer on this shoot was Jane Kortright, she is such a talented photographer. I am very privileged to work with her often! She is a full time photographer at Hallmark, if you would like to see some of her personal work you can go to Jane Kortright
. If you haven't heard of Hallmark Magazine you should check it out, it is a lot like a Martha Stewart or Real Simple kind of magazine (has some really good recipes!). If anything you should subscribe to it so you can see stuff that I am working on. You can go to Hallmark to get a subscription. Right now they are offering a free trial issue. Enjoy the pics!
