Topeka Wedding at Great Overland Station | Professional Photographer Stacey Zoll Photography

Why hello! This wedding and reception both took place at the historic Great Overland Station in Topeka, Kansas this past February.  It made for a large area that was accommodating to all of the guests and has a pretty balcony area overlooking the main area for extended seating & viewing.  You can visit the venue's website for more information regarding the historical significance of the station.  As is often the case when I am the photographer, we lucked out with some pretty awesome weather for a winter wedding! (Awesome according to my opinion that is, which means it wasn't freezing and the sun was out!! YAY!!).

This Adorable couple is so sweet and kind and were such a pleasure to work with.  Their wedding colors were a blush pink and dark blue, and their decor and fresh flowers were fun and beautiful and represented the couple well.   The welcome table had many cute details but my favorite was their "Shake it like a Polaroid picture" song reference as their greeters snapped a photo of the guests as they arrived for their guest book.  What a fun new trend to remember guests and make it personal!

The couple chose to do a First Look prior to the ceremony so we could complete most of the family formals beforehand and they could go right into the reception afterward.  The ceremony was short and sweet and consisted of hand-written vows by the Bride & Groom.  A friend of theirs was ordained for the event in order to be the one to announce them "Mr. & Mrs." 

The reception, with DJ services provided by Marcus of Affordable Pro DJ Service, was full of fun, laughter, and happily ever after as the guests drank, laughed, and danced the night away.  

This was an all-around great day and it was such a pleasure sharing in their celebration.  Thanks so much to the happy couple for having me as your photographer.  I wish a lifetime of happiness, encouragement, and God's blessings. May your love grow deeper with each passing day, and may your always look at one another as you did this day!  Sincerely, Stacey <3

A Gorgeous Wedding in Wichita at Noah's Event Venue | Topeka, KS Wedding Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography

Fun, Glamour, & High Style at Noah's Event Center

I cannot wait to share some images with you from this gorgeous Friday evening wedding!  Due to the chaos that was my September this blog is coming to you a few weeks late, but it doesn't make the images any less beautiful!

I had the pleasure of meeting this couple last year when they decided to take some fun boyfriend/girlfriend photos together while the Groom was in town from his home in New York.  They met at a church conference out of state and were clearly a perfect match for one another.  I was happy to hear from the Bride last summer that they had recently gotten engaged and wanted to have an engagement session done in the future.  We laughed our way through their engagement session and managed to get some beautiful photos (particularly when the Groom was behaving himself); don't get me wrong, I absolutely love working with this guy!  Both of them have so much energy when they are together that it is infectious.

So naturally, the wedding came next!  They were married a Friday evening in September at the new Noah's Event Venue in Wichita, Kansas.  It is a Gorgeous location!! The ceiling is draped in fabric and twinkle lights, the walls of windows makes for wonderful natural light, and the couple went all out and added a ton of beautiful details; "bling" is what came to mind when I looked around.  It was a perfect wedding for this energetic, fashionable couple.  It would take too long to name every detail, but the aisle was lined with glass lanterns incasing branches and lights, the stunning silver & white wedding cake by Cameo's Cake was adorned with jewels and a sophisticated bow, and the reception was covered in candles, flowers, jewels, and bright blue and magenta accents to match the bridesmaids dresses and wedding colors.  You will simply have to look at the photos to understand just what I mean!

The Bride & Groom did not see one another prior to the ceremony, so while the Groom's crew of New Yorkers were dancing their hearts out, playing pool, and just being boys in the Groom's area, the girls were in the Bride's room getting hair and makeup done surrounded by mirrors, flowers, and other accessories.

The ceremony included its own special touches, and of course a few laughs, as I have come to expect from the couple.  As the flower girl and ring bearer made their way down the aisle the Groom starting laughing hysterically and I learned why once they turned the corner and I read the signs each of them carried which included "Last Chance to Run Michael" & "Here Comes the Bride!"  It was awesome!   I could see the anxiousness and excitement on the Groom's face while he waited for Tempest to come in and the joy that was evident as soon as he saw her.  The ceremony included music by very talented singers, vows (to which the Groom brought out a scroll that was probably 8 feet long for effect), and an unsuspected serenade of "You Are So Beautiful" for the Bride, communion, and prayer.  It was a wonderful ceremony focused on God's love for them, and their love for one another.

After the ceremony we took some family portraits, bridal party photos, and then headed outside to get a few nice portraits for the couple just in time as the sun set.  We came back inside to an elaborately decorated reception where the couple had their first dance, and cut the wedding cake as dinner was being served.

I really enjoyed this wedding and working with these two again.  I am so excited for them and the life of love and laughter I am sure they will enjoy together.  I have a feeling they will definitely "sharpen" one another with their wit and personality, and keep each other smiling for years to come.  Thanks so much for deciding to make me a part of your wedding day; it was truly a memorable experience!

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!
