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 [...]

Can I just say that I go to a ton of weddings and this one is one that I will remember for a long, long time. Both the ceremony and reception took place at The Terrace on Grand. The whole day was full of emotion, from tears to laughter.  Abby and Bryce have a zest [...]

This weekend was full of fun celebrating, despite what the rain had in store for us.  We decided last minute to head to my Aunt’s who lives very close to a wonderful fireworks show and join my family for some 4th of July fun. We hoped the rain would hold out since we were keeping [...]

Julie and Chris have been such a joy to work with over the past year or so.  They have such a great attitude towards life, their wedding, and just rolling with the punches.
We can thank the internet for this wonderful wedding and wonderful couple.  Yup they met on-line.  They now live in Prairie Village with [...]

Rain is good luck on a wedding day…or so “they” say. If that is the case then Debra and Andrew have nothing to worry about for a long, long time!
This was my first wedding back after a long break. It was really great getting back into it with this couple. Although I have not had [...]

An impromptu get together turned out to be the best night. The Spears family came over to our house and we enjoyed a little food, a little fun and a lot of Mark’s famous margaritas.  Here is Alex rockin’ the pinata! Below Zach posing in the sombrero.

This past weekend was our last full weekend before wedding season officially kicks off for Tyler. We had a very Wirken weekend. Favorite pizza place Friday night. Saturday then consisted of errands and an evening full of urban camping. Great way to break the boys into camping without having to drive 3 hours to go [...]

Pam and I got to take a bit of a break last week.  It was spring break and we decided to take the kids to the grandparents in Chicago and take a break for ourselves.  Sneaky I know.  The sad part is that Pam and I could not even remember the last time we were [...]

So, as some of you know our house is a mixed one. I grew up celebrating Hanukkah in my family, and Tyler was a Christmas kid. We enjoy this time of year to the fullest! I love every aspect of it! However, no matter how hard I try the kids just do not get as [...]
