Rose Gold Wedding in Wichita, Kansas | Stacey Zoll Photography

Welcome!  As many of us are enjoying this "Back to School" season, these newlyweds are enjoying their first days as Mr. & Mrs.! Last Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing the glamorous "rose gold" themed wedding of Cameron & Breanna in Wichita, Kansas.

The day began at the Central Community Church in Wichita, a beautiful church that easily accommodated all of the family members and guests.  The event was coordinated and planned by Ms. Tamara Ammons of Signature Weddings by Tamara.  The sanctuary and reception were decorated gorgeously by The Stylish Soirées Events & Design, with draped soft pink and glittering fabrics, crystal chandeliers, roses, and additional crystals and personal touches.  Prior to the ceremony, the guests viewed a charming pre-wedding video put together by Bray Films (see it here), about the Bride & Groom's relationship and hope for the future.  The Bride walked down the aisle with her Father, a Bishop in their church, among a beautiful hand-laid aisle design made with rose petals.  As is any event with this group, the music was performed live and A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  The singers during the ceremony could rival any gospel choir with their beautiful voices and stage presence.  You couldn't help but clap, tap your foot, and sing along, even if you didn't know the words!

The reception was held at the Drury Plaza Broadview Hotel, Wichita, and was also lavishly decorated by the Stylish Soirees.  The wedding party was introduced to energetic music as they strutted their stuff on the raised runway in the center of the reception venue.  Giant L-O-V-E lighted letters occupied the corner by the exquisite 7-tiered wedding cake, and guests enjoyed a plated sit-down dinner as family members shared their messages of love, support, and encouragement to the Bride & Groom.  Last, but not least, there was a "mirror-me" photo booth and candy bar provided for the guests as well.

The love of Christ was present throughout the day as people gathered to celebrate this young couple as they vowed to love one another for the rest of their days.  I am excited for what their marriage has in store for them and their future family.  I know they will be blessed as they honor God and one another as He calls us to.  Thank you Breanna & Cameron for letting me witness your love story, and may your life be filled with love, laughter, and Happily Ever After in Christ!

A Fun, Outdoor Wedding in Alma, Kansas | Topeka, Kansas Photographer Stacey Zoll Photography

Happy Spring! A couple of weekends ago I was happy to photograph a wedding for a lovely couple on their gorgeous property in Alma, Kansas.  This Kansas State University wedding was setup outdoors with some hay bale seating for ceremony guests, a large tent for the reception, and, of course, touches of purple & white throughout as the decor.

The happy couple share a home with their three dogs that were entertaining in their own ways throughout the day!  It is so funny how the personality of an animal can come through in such a short time - there was the wild girl who just wanted to be outside in the creek running through the property chasing bugs (who luckily did NOT get muddy paws on the Bride's dress, though the same couldn't be said for the living room! LOL), the guard dog who could have used a Xanax that day since the guests did not clear their arrival with her beforehand, and then the little shy gal that just quietly looked around and hoped people didn't show her too much attention.  So anyway, enough about dogs I suppose...

The day was full of laughter, some chaos, and a large group of family and friends enjoying each other's company and ready to celebrate the couple.  The quick ceremony was followed by dinner (catering and bartending provided by Friendship House) a few speeches, the cutting of the cake, the couple's first dance, parent dances, and then the guests enjoyed the outdoors including a bonfire, and games of horseshoes and cornhole.  The Bride's sister was unable to attend the wedding due to being deployed.  I know she was missed (as shown in the photo below!), and thank you to her sister (also named Stacey!) for her service.  The day was a definite success, and it was a fun time!

The couple and I snuck away during the reception to take some photos on their awesome property that includes multiple acres of trees, grasses, a large creek, firepit, etc!  If I was a dog (or a human!), I would be happy to live there too!

Thanks so much to Jenn & Bill for allowing me to share in your day!  You are a wonderful couple and it was a pleasure working with you and your family & friends.  May your life together be blessed, and your love grow stronger with each passing year!  Head on over to their online gallery on the SZP website to view their wedding day!

Happy New Year 2017! Topeka & Manhattan Kansas Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography

Hello & Happy New Year to You and Yours! Due to limited time on my hands, I am a bit behind on my blogging (to be remedied this winter hopefully before lovely-wonderful-HEAT appears again).  So I apologize for my recent silence on the blog, but here I am!  I am happy to reflect on the memories made in the past year with joy and gratefulness for the work that I had, the people I met, and those I was able to share life with.  Hopefully I will cross paths with some of you in the next 12 months!

Personally, I don't have any crazy resolutions for this year; how about you?  What are your hopes, dreams, and goals for 2017?  I do plan to work on some personal strengthening and enjoy my family and friends.  One of my dogs has been working on some strengthening also.  He likes to lay next to me on the ground while I work on some back exercises, with all four legs in the air in hopes I will scratch his belly while I'm at it.  When I fail to do so in a timely manner, he merely moves towards me until his belly rests on my arm and he gets a belly rub from close proximity.  He really knows how to set goals and be persistent! Perhaps we can learn from him!

Anyhow!  This year began with a move for me from Manhattan, Kansas to Topeka, Kansas.  So naturally, my life was chaos for a few months!  I am missing Manhattan quite a bit and still love it, but I am getting settled and learning my way around and business stayed pretty study, so I am definitely blessed!  I still take sessions and weddings in Manhattan as well as visit dear friends, so I plan to maintain that for 2017.  It has been fun getting to explore new places and meet new people in Topeka as well.

All in all, it has been a busy, kinda crazy year for SZP, and not just because of photography as previously mentioned. But as usual, I have met many wonderful new people and witnessed many couples say their vows.  It was such a pleasure working with all of you and I certainly hope to hear from you again.

One of my favorite things from 2016 was photographing various school programs for the new web design of the Manhattan Tech (MATC) website, which was a ton of fun and a little different than I normally get to do.  I really love doing commercial/corporate work to include products, headshots, and real estate - commercial or private property.

One of my favorite things is still photographing female glamour/boudoir and making a woman feel as gorgeous as she should!  If you haven't looked into it for you or your spouse yet, then you are missing out!  It is such a fun experience!

This year, I look forward to expanding my high school senior portraits, so I hope to hear from those of you graduating in 2018 in the months ahead!  I will share a few from some of this years Class of 2017 below.

Whether it is portrait event, commercial, or real estate, I'd love to hear from you this year, and wish you all many wonderful blessings in the year ahead!  And try to stay warm.. as I cannot! =)

God Bless,

Stacey Zoll
