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

A Farm Town Wedding in Bremen, Kansas | Topeka Wedding Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography

Happy Summer!! Woot!  I would like to share some photos from a recent wedding I photographed in the small town of Bremen, Kansas.  Weddings in this town are always fun as they come with their own traditions, including, of course, the ringing of the town bell after the Bride & Groom said "I Do!"  Generations have been ringing the Bremen bell after weddings for years and it is always fun to watch Newlyweds do the same as their parents and grandparents did before them!

This wedding had even more repeated traditions.  The couple was married in the same church that the Bride's parents were married in decades earlier, and included a message by the pastor that married her parents!  He did a wonderful job and I really loved the advice he gave: marriage is as good as what you put into it, not what you receive; keep the Bible and God's word a part of your marriage; never forget Jesus Christ and his sacrifice; Forgive one another; and blow bubbles!!

The bridesmaids wore a dark purple similar to that of Kansas State University, where the couple attended college.  The flowers were gorgeous and the details were beautiful as well.  Guests signed a wooden board when they arrived and went home with their own mason jar style mugs.  The transportation for the Wedding Party was seven vintage trucks, and guests threw wheat grains instead of rice as the couple left the church.

Prior to the ceremony the couple did a "First Look" to eliminate time between the ceremony and reception.  The Bride & Bridesmaids wanted to do the "Bridesmaids" movie pose which led to a fun set of photos as they attempted to keep straight faces and we had some fun with some poses of our own.  The men had fun hanging out, playing music, and doing whatever it is boys do!

The reception took place at the local American Legion and was decked out in lights, a head table backdrop of old doors, draped fabric, and many more fun details showcasing the couple and their relationship together.  The Bride & Groom opted for pie instead of the traditional wedding cake, all 38 of which were baked personally by the Bride's grandmother (with some help from Grandma's husband I was told).  The pie tasting was extra unique when the bride and groom decided to get messy with it, and much to the Bride's surprise, she ended up with pie in her eye.  (Is anyone else singing "when the Moon, hits your EYE, like a big PIECE OF PIE, It's AMMORRREEEEEE!!!!" Or is that just me?).

So that's enough of my rambling for now I think.  I wish these two a long, happy life together and hopefully they will have children & grandchildren following in their footsteps a few decades from now! Thank you for letting me share in your day, and may God Bless your marriage Always!
