Amanda and Brett are wonderfully easy to photograph.  The day we shot their engagement pictures, it was cold, rainy, and early.  I got out my camera, pointed it their way, looked through the viewfinder, and they were perfect.  Cute and connected without any instruction.  I certainly do not expect that from people, but it’s such [...]

Weekend in and weekend out I find myself realizing how fortunate I am to be able to be let into my couples lives and witness not only their love for each other, but the wonderful family dynamics at work as well. Molly and Caleb are both wonderful people that I was not at all surprised [...]

We can thank the internet for this wonderful wedding and wonderful couple.  Yup they met on-line.  They now live in Prairie Village [...]
