Manhattan, Kansas Engagement of KSU Alumni | Professional Manhattan, KS Wedding Photographer

I know I always say that I had fun with my clients (because I legitimately do!), but these two were just...fun!! They were so relaxed in front of the camera and just had a great time being together while I happened to be there making them sit or stand weird ways and taking their photos.  We went to a couple of different locations around the KSU area as the couple both attended Kansas State University.

This was my first opportunity to meet the Groom and it was a great time.  I cannot wait for their wedding in Lawrence, Kansas next year as I know it will be a relaxing, love-filled event with a lot of laughter and memories to be made.

I hope you enjoy!

Topeka, Kansas Wedding at 6th Avenue Ballroom | Professional Manhattan, KS Wedding Photographer

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a gorgeous wedding in Topeka, Kansas with a high-energy wedding party, unique colors, and an urban setting for our photos.  The Bride & Groom are perfect together and I was so happy to watch them create this new family under God between them and the Bride's two beautiful children.

We began the day getting ready at the Ramada in Topeka.  The Bride's shoes were a pair of Converse in her wedding colors, and her son and ring bearer received a red pair of Converse as a wedding gift that morning.  Thunderstorms were predicted for the day but the rain was kind enough to hold out until after the ceremony so that we were able to enjoy the morning outside!  Once everyone was ready, the women loaded into the party bus and we hit up a few different destinations for some fun photos.  The trip began with a quick stop at a local liquor store which was an opportunity for some unique photos that could not be missed!  Luckily, the employees didn't seem to have a problem with our random photo op!  We then headed over the the area near the Governor's mansion where not one, but TWO trains decided to grace us with their appearance!  I am pretty sure trains passing by your photo location at the time of the photos is a great sign for a happy marriage!  Or at least it should be!  The men headed downtown for some fun street photos with my second photographer and ended up with their own set of awesome, fun photos.

The Bride & Groom's ceremony and reception were held at the quaint, beautiful 6th Avenue Ballroom in Topeka.  They did not see one another prior to the ceremony, and the Bride recorded a special song for the Groom for her walk down the aisle.  The ceremony also included a unity sand ceremony, a prayer of the new family of four, and some larger-than-life smiles as the Bride & Groom said "I Do."

The reception was a lot of fun and consisted of a photo booth for the guests, an awesome silhouette cutout cake topper, beautifully made table centerpieces, cupcakes for the guests, great food, a talented DJ, and loads of fun!

It was an honor to take part of such a special day, and I hope their photos bring them smiles for a lifetime to come!!

Engagement - A Flint Hills Proposal | Manhattan, Kansas Engagement & Wedding Photographer

A Birthday Proposal / Engagement at Top of the World!

As I have already mentioned, I absolutely love photographing surprises and announcements, so naturally getting to photograph a surprise proposal takes the cake, because it is even a surprise to the person being photographed!

The Groom-to-Be contacted me about a week prior to the big moment and told me his plans for the occasion.  We met up beforehand to go over logistics to make sure that I would know where to be in advance without being spotted, and would have a good view of the moment.  We devised our secret plan and then waited for the following week when he would ask the Big question...

When the day arrived, the couple was taking their dog on a walk (as is normal for them), and I just happened to be hanging out in the area.  It was much colder and windier than we had anticipated, but it all worked out ok!  He gave the future Mrs. her birthday card, got down on one knee, and the rest can be seen below! It was SO much fun to be able to witness the surprise and excitement in her face, as well as the joy in his because, of course, she said Yes!

You can enjoy in our excitement by viewing a few of these special moments in the photos below!

A Surprise Pregnancy Announcement | Manhattan, KS Maternity & Newborn Photographer

A couple of weeks ago I had SUCH a pleasure of photographing this adorable couple so they could reveal their wonderful news to their family & friends!  It was even more awesome because I had just photographed this soldier's homecoming ceremony a month or so before, and already their family had more wonderful news!  It is a huge privilege to get to be involved in announcements like this. I absolutely LOVE it, and I cannot wait to follow the story of their growing family!

Thank you SO much to those of you that trust me with your life events.  It is such an honor and so humbling to me that you choose to make me a part of your story, and God Bless this family and the new little Mr. or Miss!
