Winston Apple...Musician

My father (AKA Winston Apple) played a gig with his band at Bar Natasha this past Saturday night. He was also featured in an article in The Pitch recently. You can check out his MySpace page for more information about his music!

Some of my favorite images from the night...

Engagement Portraits...Kimberly & Adam

Yesterday morning I met Kimberly & Adam at Loose Park for their engagement session. I'm pretty sure they have done this sort of thing before. They were both very relaxed and natural - and so cute together! Kimberly & Adam met in my second favorite city (next to KC)...Columbia. They were in school there at MU (my alma mater). If I got the story straight...Kimberly's best friend wanted to meet Adam's roommate. So their friends brought them along and Kimberly and Adam hit it off! So did their friends who are now married! Very cool.

So let's see some of the pics! Vote for your favorite in the comments section below and Kimberly & Adam will get an 8x10 of the winning image...

This next one cracks me up. I love Kimberly's expression. There was something inside the tree making noises. Turns out it was a squirrel...but those were some really weird noises.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. ;-)

Kimberly's sister found that flower on the ground. It worked its way into several pictures. :-)

Sarah & Stephen...Wedding

Yesterday was the big day for Sarah & Stephen! And tomorrow they leave for Tahiti...how amazing will that be!? But here is a sneak peak for them before they head out of town...

A couple of beautiful shots of Sarah...

A fun shot of Stephen - and his best man, Jeremy...

The somewhat reluctant "ringbearer" was their adorable son Connor. Too cute...

When Sarah made her entrance...

...Connor smiled and Stephen got a little teary. I love moments like these...

Sarah & Stephen released butterflies after their ceremony. One of them liked Stephen and decided to hang out for awhile...

ss 17

I love that Connor was included in the ceremony. He was given a special medallion...

What a cutey!

The newlyweds...

The reason I love this picture is that Sarah & Stephen were willing to strike this pose without question...not even noticing the statue behind them. We were having a little fun with Sarah because she was not a fan of the sculptures scattered throughout the garden. She had asked me to shoot around them - which is no problem - but we had to have a little fun. ;-)
Clearly abusing the trust my clients have in me...thanks for being so cool guys! :-)

Fabulous...

I enjoy this shot of Stephen & Sarah as they saw their car after their friends finished decorating...

Nice...
