Patricia & Linda...Special Assignment

Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph two amazing women.

Linda...



and Patricia...



I'm not sure how much I can share about this assignment, so this may be a bit cryptic. ;-) I was hired by a magazine to shoot an environmental portrait featuring Linda, who is being honored by Patricia in a book they are creating.



I really enjoyed my time with these lovely ladies - and they quite obviously enjoy their time together as well. :-)

Lauren & Kyle...Engagement Portraits

Lauren & Kyle met when they were in high school...though they attended different schools. Even now they are attending different colleges...one at KU and the other at K State. While they may come from different backgrounds...they sure do make one happy, adorable couple!

Some of my favorites from our engagement shoot yesterday...

Thanks for an enjoyable autumn evening! :-)

Ashlie & Dan...Wedding

Yesterday, Dan & Ashlie became husband and wife. It was a beautiful day - there was a lot of fun and a lot of love - and we even got to watch Obama's motorcade go by! ;-)

Let's get to my favorite pictures from the wedding. The ceremony was at Redemptorist and given my love of architecture - I could probably devote an entire post to just the church. But I will have to settle for just a couple here...





Mom & Sis lending a hand...



Ashlie was STUNNING in her beautiful dress!





Little flower girl, Kennedy, was pretty impressed with her own adorable dress. :-)











A couple of fun groom portraits...





Time to get married...

















A couple moments alone as husband and wife for the first time...





I was kind of obsessed with Ashlie's bouquet from Clara's Flowers - so it got its own little photo shoot...





Ashlie's bridesmaids took there job very seriously. Here they are freshening Ashlie up for portraits... ;-)



Sweet flower girl, Kaitlyn, just being cute...



The lovely ladies...



When I told the boys how fantastic the girls were doing, things got a little competitive...



Ashlie is a tad ornery. She tugged on Allison a little like she was pulling her into the fountain and got a pretty good squeal out of her. :-P



Super Phil reporting for picture duty...



A couple of groom details - Dan's Outward Bound pin and fabulous socks...





Couple Time!











A perfect example of what I love about Ashlie & Dan. I asked them to walk towards me...which they did briefly before breaking out into a silly sprint! They are too cute.



If I had to sum up Ashlie & Dan's relationship in two words it would be laughter...



and romance...



This post is becoming the longest blog post in history so I best wrap things up quickly. The reception at Drexel Hall was fabulous...



First dance...



A couple of ring shots...





Congratulations again Ashlie & Dan! You two are so much fun to be around. As gorgeous a pair as you are...your outer beauty pales in comparison to what shines from within. :-)
