Chicago Engagement session! {Destination Wedding Photographer}
It is always exciting to get to travel to another city for an engagement or wedding to photograph. I love exploring and photographing new scenes. I flew to Chicago where Sarah & Joe both live to photograph their engagement session. Their wedding will be here in KC this fall. I always think it is a great idea to have your engagement session in the area where a couple is starting their lives together. It will be such a wonderful way to remind them of that time no matter where they end up living down the road
I had a lot of favorites from this session and a great quick tour of Chicago One of my favorites are under this bridge! I LOVED this spot
LOVE!!!!!
Green light! It’s a go for the wedding 😉
When we drove by this amazing church I wanted to photograph, Joe stopped the cab and we hopped out. It was soooo beautiful!
And back in another cab to the next location
Water, sun, sand and a beautiful view. This would be my happy spot if I lived there
Then we headed to Joe’s apartment which had a great view for a glass of wine before dinner and a few rooftop photos
Chicago in a glass
Adorable cabbie photos
Hannah & Joe Married!! {Kansas City Wedding Photographer}
June was filled with wonderful weddings all around the city. It is always a very busy fun month for weddings. I got to photograph wonderful weddings all month and ended the June month incredibly for sure! Hannah & Joe’s wedding day was filled with wonderful happy moments, lots of laughs & giggles, some tears of joy and great dance moves After photographing Hannah’s senior photos years ago I had always hoped to be her wedding photographer
Her beautiful blue eyes and long dark hair really is a photographer’s dream come true. And of course when I met Joe and saw the way he smiled at Hannah and those dimples of his……really? Luckiest wedding photographer out there on June 28th goes tooooooooooooo……….me
Really, I do fell lucky to photograph such important milestones in peoples lives. And I also photographed a few of Hannah’s bridesmaids and her brother’s senior photos as well! Such a great group of young men and women. And boy are they all fun 😉 They were smiling, dancing and singing all day. It is always so hard to pick photos for the blog when I have a million favorites, so this is going to be a big blog post
Starting with Hannah’s dress & shoes. o.m.g. The dress has feathers!!!!! And the color of her shoes, I need a dress that color!!!
man…those eyes!
I loved this sweet moment of Hannah with her mom
Such a beautiful dress and bride of course
I always love seeing grandparents at weddings
The flower girl was a hoot with her m&m’s!
Awwwww! I love how happy Joe is to see his bride for the first time walking down the aisle
They’re married!!!!!!
Ha! I thought the random shirtless guy was pretty funny in a wedding photo!
Since Hannah & Joe’s ceremony was early in the day they had TWO receptions! A cocktail reception at Club 1000 with their traditional reception hours later at the Marriott Briarcliff. First photo featuring Hannah’s pretty mom and handsome brother. Second, I love the look I caught Hannah giving Joe. Cute as heck
Also photos of Joe’s parents (you can see why he is such a cutie!), little cuties and Hannah & some the girls
Super fun group!
I COULD HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THEM FOR DAYS!
Really? Those dimples are killing me
Cutie girls
It did give us a bit of rain here and there but mostly we were pretty lucky for photos
Super fave!!!!!
I am sooooooo glad we got some veil shots! Yay to Hannah’s mom!
Then we headed to the reception when it started raining more. How about this cake?!?!?!?!?! Everyone was in awe when they entered the room!
Congratulations to the Happy Couple and their families!!!!!!
