Chris & Katie were married a couple of weeks ago at Longview Mansion on one of the loveliest days we’ve had.  And it was so fun to shoot at Longview again!  It is just so dang pretty there!  It was such an amazing day and absolute home run of a reception 😉  I know that I am not the only one still talking and thinking about all of the fun had at their wedding!

It was even more awesome because I know them and they are part of a community of great folks here at Lake Lotawana and Lee’s Summit.  Burt (everyone calls him by his last name) was my hubby’s roommate before we got married and they have known each other for a long time.  I hadn’t gotten a chance to know Katie very well before they were engaged as I think I miss a lot of fun lake parties while shooting weddings on Saturdays, lol!  But getting to know her and her daughter and even Burt better through their engagement and wedding was really really awesome and makes me even happier that they found each other!  And so happy that Katie liked my photography and trusted me with their memories :)  Yay!!

The sun was shining, the guests were smiling, the energy of the day and evening was palpable.  DJ Fernando was wonderful as always (best damn dj ever!) but the fact that him and Burt are friends and used to play baseball together made it even better!  The speeches were all wonderful but NO ONE will forget how they felt after hearing Katie’s daughter Kaia’s speech.  Seriously.  Sooooooooo good!  I might cry just thinking about it!  Lucky that my assistant Paige Kime was recording it on my other camera :)  And lucky that Paige was running the camera for a bit so my husband could spin me around the dance floor a time or two ;)!

It was so fun seeing everyone so happy and having so much fun.  I am pretty sure 90% of the guests were all friends.  Which meant the dance floor was crazy.  And also means that I might be posting a hella lotta reception photos and maybe a few that I wouldn’t normally post but since I know the culprits to any mischievous photos, no holding back!  Hahahahahaha!!!!!!  The video’s were too long to post on my blog so I will try to make a separate fb upload for the videos!

Cheers to BurtyandtheBride!!!!!!!!  See you on the lake!

Julia & Aaron were married on what turned out to be a beautiful snowy chilly day in March.  With all of the great weather we had been having the trees were flowering and things have been starting to turn green and then all of a sudden we get a nice snow!  Crazy midwestern weather 😉  But it was fun to get some photos with snow on the trees and flowers in the background :)  Wearing waterproof shoes would have been a plus though, lol!

It was my first wedding in Leavenworth and it is such a cute little town with so many fun colors and textures on every block.  The venue they were married in and had the reception in was sooooooooo fun to photograph in!  J.W. Crancers was perfect for photos :)

I will start with the girls getting ready photos!!!
