Lauren & Kenny Married!!!! {Kansas City Wedding Photographer}
Yay!!!! Lauren & Kenny were married in beautiful Parkville where they met at Park College! The Graham Tyler Memorial Chapel is the beautiful little church on the campus of Park College, so what a perfect place for their ceremony!!!! It was such an exciting day with Lauren and her girls all smiley and bubbly! I had the great opportunity to photograph Lauren & Kenny’s engagement session in Fort Worth where they live and had such a fun time getting to know them, I was super excited to photograph their wedding! And it was just as great as I thought it would be! Let me tell the story with the photos!!!!
I want to start with a few shots from the engagement session because it was just soooooo awesome and I haven’t had enough time to blog very many engagement sessions 
We shot a lot in the Fort Worth Stockyards which was really really cool
I loved this cactus photo so much even though I got stuck in the booty while shooting it!!!!!!
When I first walked in to the room where Lauren was getting ready my first view was her awesome hair style!
Lauren has AMAZING eyes!!!!
I loved that Lauren had her fancy bling shoes and her cowboy boots! A little Texas love 
This series will show a bit of the wedding theme : BLING!!! Lauren is a blingy kind of gal!!!! Even her nails were blingy! Is blingy a real word? 
Beautiful invitations with a little…..bling 
And the cutie little Dia had her own dress too!!!!!
Wowzers!!!!!
Meghan was a bit weepy on Lauren’s wedding day 
After Lauren & Kenny first saw each other, I think they were both more relaxed!!!!
LOVED the bridesmaid’s dresses!!!!! And the boys looked pretty sharp too 😉
Seriously beautiful women in this family!!!!
AND…….this is how it is done 😉
Beautiful chapel!!!
Hello little cutie flower girl!!!!!
We had to hit a baseball field for a few shots since the boys played ball together at Park!!!!
Favorite alert for like the next whole set of images!!!!!!!!

Maggie & Brad Married in Mexico!!!! {Destination Wedding Photographer}
What a wonderful way to celebrate two people joining their lives and families together by spending the week in the Riviera Maya, Mexico at the Marina El Cid! This blog post will be like 3 posts in one! Not only will this be a wedding day post but a fun morning session with Maggie and Brad on the beach after the wedding and a few fun photos I took while there for the week with my family
While I have had the great opportunity to photograph some amazing weddings around the country, this was my first out of county wedding!!!! And it was SOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!! Maggie & Brad and their family and friends were also so welcoming to my family that it made it even more wonderful Of course if you have ever met my daughter you might know that she is a bit ornery and loves to photo bomb
I will start with a few photos that I took while on a little exploring trip around the resort with my daughter! We love to go exploring 
Just about everyday we looked for the El Cid crocodile and iguanas!
I had my camera poolside the first day we were there and my daughter introduced herself via photo bombing Cutest photo bomber ever
On the friday before the wedding, Maggie & Brad invited all of their guests out for a catamaran/snorkeling cruise and were so nice to invite my family as well It was super fun (minus me getting sea sick, ha!). But I swam right next to a big sea turtle which makes the throwing up worth it 😉 I was able to take a few photos for fun before that though Cutie sister shot below!
See, it was bumpy 
Another super fun thing about this wedding party was that one of my former bride and groom, Heather & Bo were there and one of my former seniors!!!! Heather and Stephanie were bridesmaids I also included a photo of the super cute german boy who was crewing the boat and the super cute dude cuddling my little girl, my son
Then on to the spa the next morning to start off the wedding day!!!!!
There was so much love, happiness and emotion throughout the day!
Yay for mimosas! Well…oj for the little ladies 
The handsome boys having a bit of lunch before they got ready 
Maggie & Brad’s save the date passports and their invitations were so cool!!!!!
Somewhere close to this moment, Maggie’s sister Chloe started crying and couldn’t hardly stop, lol! It was so adorable!
The view from their room was amazing 
Laughter and tears! Love!
I loved the guys suits! Perfect for the beach 
Maggie & Brad saw each other for the first time on their wedding day with a little crowd on the balcony to witness the wonderful moment 
Gosh, I loved this spot! And Maggie was a perfectly beautiful bride!
Also loved this spot Yes, the location scouting around the resort was prettttttttty fun!!!!
Gosh, I just HATE it when I have palm trees and an ocean in my photos. Said by no photographer ever 
Boys getting pumped up before the ceremony, lol!
Oh man, the reception had stringy lights on top of everything else! Hello heaven!!!
What a perfect ceremony on the jetty! My son was assisting me during the ceremony and I put a camera in his hands for a few shots! Not bad!
Seriously, the singing during the ceremony was so beautiful!!!!
Working in flip flops was pretty nice And barefoot in the sand for the reception!
More sister crying 
Pretty awesome group !!!!!
Lol, a little fun photo bombing 
AND…….Drumroll please!!!!! Leah & Zach getting married next July and I get to be the photographer!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! I get to hang with the fam again 
The best man and the maid of honor may have been a bit nervous before the speeches. Anyone who is still wondering what happened on the paddle boat…….this may explain why we will never know 
The moon over the ocean was incredible. When I saw it, I thought what a way to end a fairy tale wedding!
Boy did the party get kicking! It was a full fun dancing night!!!! UNO MAS! UNO MAS!
So, we are in Mexico and we have a wedding dress…….let’s see….hmmmm…..yes…we MUST get in the ocean! Yes! A lovely little morning sunrise session a couple of days after the wedding
Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Cardonell!! Thank you for trusting me to photograph your forever memories and for being just the nicest most caring people ever! You are going to be everyone’s favorite Dr’s!!!!
