Thanks again so much for asking me to take pictures of your great day, Rach! Enjoy the pictures!

Okay, just prepare yourself for looking at pictures of some seriously beautiful people Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity to take pictures of Rachael and Mike Page the day after their wedding. They had their official ceremony at the Mormon Temple in Illinois on Friday and drove back to St.Joseph, MO to have their reception at the church of Latter-Day Saints in St.Joe. We were able to squeeze in a few “formal” family portraits at Krug Park before the sun went down on us Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful, beautiful Saturday. Sunny, not windy and 58 degrees – not bad for late November in the Midwest! Enjoy the pictures

Rachael and Miss Martha – you women are beautiful! I couldn’t resist to post this picture!
Rachael’s bridesmaids were drop dead gorgeous! Great dresses!

You girls are pretty enough for a magazine

Wonderful little moment between Rachael, her sister and bridesmaid Nicole.
JUMP!

Girls, again, so pretty!
The dip!




I really love this one
A little series of 4 of many pictures we took in the middle of a downtown street right at sundown. These two are gorgeous and everything about this setting just makes me smile

Wow! What a fun, fun event! This past saturday, October 3rd, I had the wonderful opportunity to job shadow Erica May and learn about her strategies and creative ideas for wedding photography! Erica’s great spirit and contagious laughter was so encouraging and really helped the day to be calm and relaxed amongst the 700 + guests and bridal party that consisted of over 40 people!! Here are a few of the beautiful shots from Holy Name Catholic Church in Topeka, KS as well as the amazing reception that followed – his family and her family combined to make one HUGE meal, all homemade authentic mexican food, for the 700 + guests!

All of the family members who assisted in the preparation for the big meal wore personalized aprons as a gift from the bride and groom! What a great idea!

Beautiful church!


Thanks again for letting me come along, Michael and Sara! How fun!

I had a wonderful opportunity this past weekend to fly down to Kaufman, Texas and photography Rachel and Nolan Jackson’s Wedding! They had a beautiful wedding at Grace Fellowship Baptist Church, and had their first reception following the wedding in the fellowship hall with a beautiful bride’s cake, and a funny groom’s cake! They had a second reception at a cousin of the Groom’s house where they danced the night away!
