Today is my 32nd birthday. Yes, indeed it is. And I am happy to give myself one of the best gifts… a wedding blog! This isn’t just a blog about a wedding… it is my first complete wedding as a professional photographer. “First?” -you say… yes, my first complete wedding, where I took the engagement photos and then their wedding. For the past year, I have assisted as a “second shooter” and have had a couple of weddings on my own, but didn’t do their engagement photos. So… yes, I say, this is my first baby! I am thrilled to have been Dana and Matt’s photographer, as they were my friends before the wedding, and now, I feel I know them in such a special way, that will last forever… along with their marriage. A real friendship built upon a special occasion… that is invaluable. Thank you, Dana and Matt, for so lovingly and encouragingly pushing me forward in my career and dreams. I can’t wait to design your album and put a keepsake in your hands, for the rest of your lives… Bless you two. xx
Oh… about the wedding, ha! Well, it was incredible, of course. Even when the rain came right before they spoke their vows, we just moved the ceremony into the reception hall at the Berg Event Space downtown Kansas City… and had a merry ol’ time. Dana and Matt know how to have fun… and most of all, they truly know how to love each other -this was evident by the joy, grace and pure affection they had for one another. I am honored to be their friend! …and a big thank you to my assistant photographer, David Bickley! Enjoy a few of my favorites from the day…
