Topeka Engagement at Gage Park | M + B | Professional Photographer Stacey Zoll Photography

Welcome back photo viewers! Today I have the pleasure of sharing a preview of Molly & Brent's recent engagement session.  I would love to share the whole thing with you (especially a couple of hilarious outtakes), but alas, I must narrow them down, so here are my top images that I just couldn't resist!

You may notice that I said "recent", yet the sun is shining!  We were lucky enough to have what some may refer to as "decent" winter weather.  I, of course, scoff at this sentiment because my fingers were still purple by the end of the session, as Brent so nicely pointed out to me, haha.  The good news is, that after some intense heavy breathing on my hands, and holding them over the car vent while driving home afterward (don't worry, I only put one to the vent at a time), my fingers thawed out, regained their regular color, and my phalanges and I will live to photograph another day!  Hooray!  However, I will concede and say that it was much warmer than it could have been for being done in January, so thank you Lord for that... but I still won't say it was good weather!

So after the weather report, lets move on to the couple! They are getting married this Spring and were a ton of fun to work with.  How Molly managed to wear a dress for this I will never know, she is clearly better at this "winter" thing than I.. and she looked beautiful doing it!  Brent is a crackup and I so look forward to working with the two of them on their wedding day.  I was lucky enough to meet the other members of the family as well that I have been told about from the beginning.  Their beautiful four-legged babies are full of energy, personality, and were fun to incorporate into some of the shots.  Working with all of them was a real pleasure and I sure hope they love their "winter" images as much as I do!

A Lawrence Wedding at Abe & Jake's Landing | Professional Manhattan, KS Wedding Photographer

Hello, hello! Last Sunday I attended a wedding at Abe & Jake's Landing in Lawrence, Kansas where I was (wait for it...) the photographer!  It was a relaxing day, an awesome location, and a beautiful occasion.  The ambiance at Abe & Jake's is really unique and fun. The building is an old barbed-wire factory located right on the banks of the Kansas River and is now on the historic registry.  There are a number of beautiful spots inside the venue to take photos; it is a photographer's playland!  It was such a hot day that we did all of the photos inside the building, except for a couple that we took on the outside patio overlooking the river in the evening.

The Bride and Groom wanted a relaxed, stress-free day that was focused around the vows they would share.  I really enjoy and appreciate these simple weddings because it not only focuses on the true importance of the wedding day, but it allows me time to observe and capture real, candid moments that I don't always have the time to get during an otherwise busy day.

The best man/maid of honor's toasts were very well done with a bit of humor and sentiment, the prayers that were said with the wedding party prior to the event brought happiness to my heart, and the DJ did a great job at keeping the reception fun.  The flowers and the cake were done beautifully to match the blue and yellow wedding colors; the venue looked awesome.  It really was an enjoyable occasion down to the last detail, and I am so happy I was there to be a part of it.  I wish these two a lifetime of love and happiness always as they place God at the center of their lives and their marriage.
