Miller Wedding

Ted and Deepa's wedding was so special to photograph, it was sweet to see the love between the two of them that day. They were so happy it was finally their day.

Their wedding had several special touches to it that made their own. I loved how all the women in Deepa's family were wearing their traditional sari's. They added so much fun color to the day and the photos. Most of all the food was absolutely amazing!! Korma Sutra in Overland Park catered her wedding and they did a fabulous job. I have been addicted to Indian food ever since. Such great flavor and spice.

If you would like to see all of her photos go to Miller Wedding.

Below are a few of the wedding vendors of the day

Food: Korma Sutra (overland park)
Florist: Erin Volante Floral (The best florist in town! Shouldn't consider hiring anyone else)
Reception: The Rhapsody

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!

Attwood Wedding

This post will be proof that I am doing major blog catch up. It's one of my December 2008 weddings!!! TJ and Jenna were so sweet and fun to work with. I absolutely adored Jenna's birdcage veil, I had so much fun photographing her. It's always exciting for a photographer when we get something a little out of the ordinary. It inspires us to try new things. Below is a peak at their wonderful December wedding at the Berg Event Space in Kansas City, MO.

Chris + Annette

This wedding was so fun to photograph. Chris and Annette are such a fun relaxed couple and Annette loves photography. I love that she was into it because she brought along some fun props that made it unique. Annette and I had very much the same taste in photography ideas for our weddings. We both did the tree swing and the parasols. Little things like this can make such a big difference. I recommend to all brides to search wedding blogs and get some great ideas. Below are a few I went to often for my wedding

Snippet and Ink
Style Me Pretty
Once Wed

Brides always want their wedding to be extra special and different, visiting these design blogs will help you with that. I also suggest looking at all the photographers blogs and websites. You can get great ideas from other peoples weddings.

Chris and Annette got married on their parents land, it was such a sweet intimate ceremony. I love outdoor weddings. Can't get any prettier than nature!

Thanks for making me part of your special day.
