A Lawrence Kansas Wedding Story | Manhattan, KS Photographer

KU says I Do at Maceli's Lawrence

You may have seen this couple in an earlier blog when I did their engagement pictures at Kansas University Lawrence.  These Jayhawk fans, and alumni, whose first initials happened to be KU, were SO much fun to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed taking their photos.

Their wedding took place at Maceli's in Lawrence, KS and had so many wonderful details.  The tables were decorated with handmade signs with their favorite love-related movie quotes, the Bridesmaids wore Royal Blue (KU Blue!) dresses and had these awesome, coral-colored heels to go with it.  The wedding cake was decorated with none-other-than the Bride & Groom made out of clay and sitting on the Groom's SUV.  It was awesome!

The wedding was beautiful, with the Bride walking down the stairs being escorted by her beaming Father, and a unity sand ceremony where they mixed the KU colors in a picture frame showing their favorite engagement photo.

After the wedding we headed down the street to take some photos of the bridal party and Bride & Groom.  Everyone did awesome considering it felt like 100 degrees outside, and I wasn't wearing a suit! Once the photos were done, however, the fun began! There was an awesome DJ, lots of dancing, laughing, and wonderful memories to be had.

This was an all-around awesome group and it was so much fun spending the day with everyone!

Celebrating a Big Day in a small Way | Manhattan, Kansas Engagement & Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photos for a small, courthouse wedding

I was contacted by this couple a few weeks before their scheduled marriage date to capture some photos of them on the day they said their vows.  The new Mrs. flew in from her current home state of Florida and they exchanged vows in a small, courthouse ceremony with their two witnesses.  They are planning a larger celebration in the future to share their commitment with family and friends, so I was honored that they chose me to capture their only memories of this momentous day.  I know sometimes it doesn't seem real until the "Big" day, but vowing to share your life with someone is much more important the first day it is done! Because they are officially husband and wife, and they will always know when they first made that commitment to one another, even if others don't.

This couple was a bit shy in front of the camera so my main goal was to back off and try to help them feel the moment as if I wasn't there.  Of course, being Kansas, a storm began to roll in and the wind picked up making it a little more work, but that is ok!  We were all happy with the end result, and I am happy they will have some fun, real, and beautiful memories to remember this day.

A Gorgeous Topeka Engagement | Topeka , Kansas Wedding | Manhattan , KS Wedding Photographer

Love Abounds at a Lake Shawnee Engagement!

All I can say about these two and their engagement session is...WOW! Ok, maybe I can say a couple more things.  This future Mr. & Mrs. will be having a Topeka wedding next May and chose to have me do their engagement photos as well.  I am SO glad they did!  The two of them were so much fun to work with, they were completely comfortable and natural in front of a camera, and combined with their setting and some wonderful light, their engagement photos are amazing!  It is clear how very much in love they are and I cannot wait for their upcoming wedding!  I know it will not only be an awesome event, but there will be more beautiful photos to come!
