Kristin & Matt Part Two {Parkville, Wedding}

July 12, 2018 · Leave a Comment

We’re back with part two of Matt & Kristin’s wedding day.  We left Parkville and headed to the city for the ceremony, but stopped at English Landing Park for portraits.

We traveled to Central Presbyterian Church of Kansas City, which is historic and huge and beautiful and laced with importance for Kristin, who is a chaplain. There was a dual aisle so Kristin and her dad walked down one side and Matt on the other.  They joined in the center and then went though a procession of high-fives by their bridal party.  Again, all the unique choices they made that curated to be a day that reflected and rejoiced with them.

The dance moves cam out!  We hung out in the basement while we waited for their luxury ride to arrive and enjoyed some moody light as they practiced for their first dance.  These two can dance.  It’s so fun to photograph swing and ballroom dancing and you could just tell these two love it!

After another quick stop – all the iconic KC stuff! We got back to the reception.  They opted for a donut tower as opposed to a traditional cake and seated their guests and themed tables and served them chicken & waffles for dinner!  

They set the bar high with their first dance and their guests rose to the occasion! 

Matt & Kristin, may you have a life time of dances, more (gluten free) donuts then you can imagine and just the best of adventures together! XO – Sarah & Ginger

Kristin & Matt {Parkville Wedding}

July 10, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Kristin & Matt are kind, faithful and quirky.  It was a privilege to watch them step into marriage together.  We joined them this spring for their special day in Parkville, Missouri.  Matt and his guys were jovial and so easy to hang out with.  It’s always an interesting experience to be a fly on the wall with a group of guys, all the little details, a few hilarious moments and we got them out the door for some photos.  We chose to just hang around VIP Event Space and utilize all the texture and space for our group photos time.  We always feel like low-key and easy the more amenable everyone is to the process!  It’s also funny how quickly people’s personalities can shine through – these guys were hilarious!

Kristin & her entourage of ladies showed up just as we finished with the guys.  They had a low key morning at the salon, wearing the best matching shirts we’ve seen in 10 years of photography!  Kristin was calm.  Her sister is a stylist and so she got the honor of completing her make up before donning the dress, all those special connections fill a wedding day with such importance.  Hanging with the ladies we kept asking, “where did you get that?!”  Kristin had made so many thoughtful choices about her attire in relationship to her wedding theme.  Sometimes in the planning process people deviate from their theme or don’t make enough choices to tie it together – but Kristin was very on point with her details.  LOVE the dancing shoes she scored and even more excited later when she and Matt busted out their awesome moves!

Seriously, aren’t those the cutest outfits?!

Once she was all ready to go it was first look time.  These two were so deliberate in the space they made for one another.  They opted to see each other in advance so they could exchange private personal vows -we won’t mention the quick run someone had to made to acquire said vows ;) but all is well that ends well!  It was a very touching exchange, it’s stuff like this that makes our work so special – witnessing these moments.

These ladies, like Kristin, got all dolled up in 20’s themed dresses, headgear and shoes.  We loved the variety of dresses and the cohesion she chose in the jewelry and headpieces.

Stay tuned for the rest of this day!

Best of Series {2013}

January 14, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Before we get too far into January, and while we’re busy working away on things for the new year, we wanted to stop and share our Best of Series.  To start with we’ve picked just a few of our favorites from our 2013 engagement sessions.  We talk a lot about the importance of these sessions.  We find they are extremely valuable for our couples, giving them their first look at what it is to be in front of our cameras!  We enjoy spending time getting to know our couples better (another perk of these sessions) and capturing the love between them…

Now onto our Best of Weddings from 2013, we’ve split it up into a couple categories.  First up is a category we’re going to call “Details”.  It’s the little pieces placed throughout the day that help us tell the story of a wedding…flowers, earrings, monogrammed hangers, shoes, hankies, rings and of course THE dress, ceremony & reception locations, vintage china details, cakes, rings & wedding stationary.  Often these are items that the bride has searched out over the months of her engagement.  Often these are well curated designs of by some of our favorite professionals.  Often these are mementoes and traditions passed along in families.  Always they  highlight love..here are some of our favorite…

Now onto the people that make up weddings.  First up, wedding parties…these are the ones nearest & dearest to the bride & groom.  They are family, college roommates, childhood friends and friends-turned-family.  They support, encourage, primp, laugh and stand up in support & agreement of the couple.  Here are some of our favorites…

Rounding out our Best of Series is Bridal Portraits (ahhh, always our favorite!)…we love the opportunity to sneak away before or after the ceremony with the couple and capture their love.  Here’s some of our favorites…

Catch up on these blog posts weddings & engagements.
