Those are the words I would use to describe Kathy & her style — I had to post this image of her from today’s wedding!

Off to sleep — need rest for tomorrow’s wedding! 

Today I will be shooting Kathy & Brad’s wedding in Lawrence, and tomorrow will be Elizabeth and Kyle’s turn in Waverly —
so I thought that I would do a quick personal post of random things before we get back to business (including three portrait sessions on Sunday)!!

This week we had a little bit of fun down at the Crossroads — to see the Samples (here is my previous post with pictures from the old blog)!  It was a little more "jammy" than I typically like, but it is still always great to see those guys.  They played with Railroad Earth, whom I had never listened to.  It was a really great night of Bluegrass, and it is a cool new concert venue!

And yesterday — I parted ways with my KSU license plate.  I have had it since graduation, and decided that it isn’t worth an annual trip to the DMV.  I want to be able to pay online, and I can’t do that with this license plate.  But they made me give it back!  So I had to take a self portrait with it right after I borrowed their screwdriver to take it off — yes I got a lot of weird looks from the people in the VERY LONG LINE…

So I am off now — there will be LOTS to show in the next several days, so come back soon! 

This past Saturday was the wedding of Jennifer & Ian — and the colors, details, weather, and everything came together so perfectly!  I love fall colors, and deep shades of red and orange highlighted the florals for this special day.  Both of them were so relaxed, and excited to see one another for the first time as she walked down the aisle!  They rented a limo for the wedding party to take pictures in between, so we went to Loose Park for some gorgeous images.  The people and places that made this day happen are below, and their SLIDESHOW IS HERE — you must watch this one!

Salon: Cutting Loose
Church: Countryside Christian Church
Reception: the Doubletree, Overland Park
DJ: Encore DJ (my fave in the business!)

 First up the Ladies:

and then the Gents:

 

these guys were just TOO COOL…
 

Sunday afternoon I got to spend a little time with Kristin and Ben, who are getting married in July of next year.  And now I KNOW how much fun we are going to have on their wedding day!  I think that this first image says it all:

We started out at the Plaza where they have hung the red lanterns for the Art Fair.  It turns out that these two have spent some time in Japan, and walk around those lanterns all the time!  So it made sense to start there, and then head to the park.  I cannot wait for their wedding — I have some plans for this crazy guy, Ben…

More favorites below, and THEIR SLIDESHOW HERE!

I just love the texture-effect on this last image — so neat and gives a whole new feel for the moment! 

Yesterday morning I met this lovely family out at Loose Park to get some pictures of their little girls Isabelle (2.5) and Elorah (1)!  These girls started out a little camera-shy, but once they were able to play a little bit with their toys they were ready to smile for me!  Of course some of the toys (Puppy and Tiggies) had to be photographed before Isabelle was ready…   I love so many of the images that we captured, but here are some favorites and their SLIDESHOW!!

 

 Did I mention that having a bug on her hand made Isabelle SMILE!
