Capturing Unique and Beautiful Adventures.

There were tears, there was joy there was love. A unique, beautiful wedding ceremony shared by two beautiful people. Colby and Carson’s Oregon Wedding was one no one will forget. You have to see his reaction as she recorded herself singing as she came down the aisle. They had everyone in tears.
The temperature was dropping by the minute at Sara and John’s engagement session and the wind blew her long skirt around in true Oklahoma fashion. But that didn’t stop us from capturing some amazing photos! The love and warmth in these pictures make you feel as if it were a 60-degree day. Sara even told me she got a long skirt so that it would blow in the wind! I loved that she planned for a true Oklahoma day with wind!
These two were too much fun, teasing and laughing though the whole session. It was contagious! I can only imagine how much fun they will be on their wedding day. You can really tell how in love with each other they are and how much John adores Sara in these images. I hope when he sees these photos of her he is blown away (pun intended).
I cannot wait to capture more of their love story next fall!!

the way the wind blew her skirt is something of movies and fairy tales!!
Last Saturday was a beautiful 60 something degrees in Springfield, Missouri, and pretty much the most perfect weather anyone could ask for. Rachel and her girls got ready at an adorable Airbnb on Commercial Street, while Drew and the guys were at the brewery just down the road.
Will and I woke up early Saturday morning, grabbed some pre-wedding coffee at the coffee shop below our hotel room and chatted about things that we wanted to make sure and capture for Rachel + Drew’s big day.
Rachel and I have known each other since high school where we played volleyball and basketball together. We were both total goofs back then. (I have the throwback photos to prove it.)
When she asked me to do her wedding and engagements I was over the moon excited to be a part of capturing her wedding day. Her and Drew’s engagements were so fun and adventurous. I knew her wedding day would be the same. Rachel let me know of the things most important to capture, namely her brothers, Drew’s family, and the people that they are closest to. The bond that these two share with their family was beautiful to witness.
From the first look with Dad to the very end of the day there were more laughter and tears than I could count. You could tell how much love surrounded this couple.
Rachel was glowing! Her wedding was full of light, laughter, and dreamy candlelight. Her fall wedding was accented with Duke blue, white ranunculus, peonies, and hints of wedding sparkle.
Rachel and Drew had a bomb bridal party. 8 Groomsmen, 4 Bridesmaids and 4 Bridesmen!

WOW! I don’t even know where to begin on this wedding. Details everywhere, love, laughter, tears, amazing family and friends, and vendors all to make Megan and Caleb’s day perfect. Let’s not forget an epic flower confetti toss and the rain that started just as they drove off in the jeep!
William and I drove in from Oklahoma to capture Megan and Caleb’s day and we were so glad they asked us to capture it.
Once in Rolla, the clouds showed a threat of rain last Saturday as we pulled up to the church. Not too surprising for a fall day in Missouri. We love how the clouds give everything a beautiful pop of color and it didn’t keep us from being able to capture their day, in fact it just stopped raining for us during portraits and everything was beautiful. God even sent a rainbow!
Megan and I had been chatting about details from the beginning and she had so many ready for me when I arrived! I was able to quickly gather them up before joining Megan as she got her hair finished.
I loved the colors she chose for her wedding. They went perfect with this autumn season and her personal style. From little white pumpkins and candles on the tables at the reception, to a gorgeous splash of burgundy mixed in with hints of gold, and the guys all dressed up in a perfect shade of navy! You could tell Megan had been planning her day for a long time.
Caleb and Megan were high school sweethearts! Their story goes way back, yet it’s just beginning. I loved photographing their day, knowing their story and seeing the love they had for each other. You could see the joy they shared to be getting married surrounded by family and friends who watched them grow-up and grow more and more in love.
Megan’s sister helped her get into her off-the-shoulder, lace sleeved gown. They were crying, she was crying, I was trying not to cry! It was emotional to watch her put on her grandmother’s pearls. These are the special moments that I love to capture.
Megan and Caleb were so easy going, full of joy and excitement for their day. Just the kind of couple I love to photograph! You could tell how honest their love was and what this day meant to them. It was such an honor to be a part of it.
Thank you both for asking me to come home to Missouri and capture this day with the two of you. I hope you treasure that day and these photographs as a reminder of how in love and loved you both are!
