Wedding

Katie and Steven’s editorial Kansas City wedding at The Grand Hall was one of the most intimate, family-oriented weddings I’ve ever photographed. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you guys that there was not a eye dry in the house during the ceremony- yes, that includes me. And the speeches?? Every single person at the […]

Wedding

You guys, Callie and Jack’s stunning editorial wedding was EVERYTHING. Emerson Fields is a gorgeous venue, and if you ask me, I think this entire wedding was giving off some serious romantic, Parisian vibes. The vibrant, elegant florals and the natural greenery of the decor were an incredible combination. Plus, the drive up the unpaved […]

Yes, this is an engagement session post, but it’s also a love letter to me and my husband’s closest friends. Get your tissues ready.  As I was putting these images together for the blog, I was struck with a realization: these were taken in 2018, which means it has been four years since I met […]

Wedding day portraits are always thought to be done on the wedding day, and it’s always a mad dash. How many locations can I cram into one day? Is my hair and makeup running late?

I loved everything about Katie and Stephen’s modern wedding in downtown Kansas City. Loews Hotel KC has got to be one of the best places to take wedding portraits, period. The Bardot is also a stunning venue, so a combination of the two? Absolutely incredible. As a lot of the couples I work with are, […]

Alaina and Mac look every bit the modern couple in this, yes, I’ll say it again, Vogue-worthy engagement session.
