Engagement / Save the Date | Manhattan , Kansas Photographer

A Military Marriage to Be!

A few weeks ago this couple and I headed out to snap some photos of them and their engagement for their Save the Date cards.  The sun was blaring even though it was nearly 8pm as the summer sun likes to do!  Mr. Man was a quiet personality and agreed to do his best for his excited fiance.  He is normally not a fan of pictures, but I went easy on him and tried to make it as fun and relaxed as I could.  We kept it short and sweet (just how the guys like it!) and got some awesome images for them to remember this time.  The Mrs. was very happy with the results, which makes me a happy photographer!  Their Save the Date cards should arrive any day now and they are adorable!

A Wedding at the Westin | Kansas City | Manhattan, Kansas | Wedding Photographer

Right after Valentine's Day I was honored to photograph a small wedding in Kansas City at the Westin Hotel at Crown Center.  It was a gorgeous ceremony, complete with personally written vows and a "blessing of the rings", in which the rings were passed around the guests to be prayed over before the couple exchanged them.  There was laughter and tears, making it the perfect occasion!  The ceremony and reception were held on the top floor surrounded by windows; the ceremony itself was right about sunset so the light was nice and warming as well.  There were many candles and a gorgeous fire after sundown making for a gorgeous, relaxing reception, complete with a cake that looked just like a pizza!

And (yes I realize I should not start a paragraph with And!, buuutttt...) it wouldn't be a post by me if I didn't mention the weather, which was miraculously in the 40's that day!! It had been below freezing for weeks, but God smiles upon us with warmer temperatures for safe travels, and some outside pictures (without jackets!) with the beautiful KC skyline.  I Love the way their photos turned out and I can happily say that the Bride & Groom have been wonderfully grateful as well!

An Autumn Couple | Engagement / Couple Photography | Manhattan, Kansas | Professional Wedding Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography

I was SO excited to photograph this couple during the most gorgeous time of year here in Kansas (according to my opinion anyway..which is the only opinion offered in this blog since it is mine ;)  )!!  The leaves seemed to fall off the trees even faster this year than last year, but that was okay, because I got to take their photos at the perfect time; there were leaves on the ground AND on the trees and it was Gorgeous! They are such a sweet couple that has been married for about a year if I recall, and it was a real pleasure working with them and seeing how much they loved each other!  They are new to this area so I was honored they chose me to update their photos! I just noticed I use a lot of explanation points.. but what can I say? Autumn photos are exciting!! =)

A Kansas - themed Wedding Story.. | Manhattan, Kansas | Kansas State University | Professional Wedding Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography

This wonderful couple put together a gorgeous, Kansas - themed wedding to celebrate the their special day.  The bride grew up in Kansas until she went abroad to study in Europe, where she met her fun-loving Irish husband.  She is a romance novelist, he is a journalist, and they are now living in South Africa! The colors were blue and yellow, in honor of the Kansas sky and of course, the sunflowers.  The ceremony was held at the Danforth Chapel at Kansas State University, followed by a gorgeous, country-styled reception at the Black Jack Hills.  Guests flew in from abroad for the occasion and everyone had a wonderful time.. including myself!

Wesley & Marisol: Junction City, Kansas Wedding | Manhattan, Kansas Wedding Photographer

I recently had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of a dear, valued client of mine and her new husband.  They were married at a beautiful Catholic church, with the reception to follow at the Junction City, Kansas Opera House.  The couple has a total of 9 children between them which made for some wonderful family AND wedding party shots, since the wedding party consisted of all 9 of them! It was a lot of fun and I am so happy that I was able to share in this occasion with them, particularly since I have come to know them over the past couple of years.  Wishing them a lifetime of happiness and many blessings together!

This fun photo was a special request of the Bride.. we were still working out the logistics to get all 10 of them to show up in the back, but the facial expressions were too good to pass up!

Success! Even the Bride & Groom were laughing by this point!

The gorgeous women waiting for the ceremony to start...
