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!

Sarah & Justin Engagement Session {Kansas City, MO}

September 25, 2015 · 4 Comments

So these two…where are the words to describe them?  If you are in the same room with either of them, and especially together, you are guaranteed to have a smile on your face and are likely to share a laugh or two.  For their engagement session we wanted to capture how fun the two of them are together and asked them to choose a location.  These two are big sports fans and even played in a softball league this summer at Penn Valley Park, so they decided that is where we should start their session.  There was a game going on when we arrived, which proved to be a lot of fun to have in the background!  Just behind the ball field there is a grassy slope that proved to be perfect for our shoot.   With a tall hedge behind us and the shadow from a beautiful tree in front Sarah and Justin watched the game (for our cameras of course).

For our second location we headed over to the World War I memorial right at sunset.  The light was perfect, the stuff that photographers dream of – seriously.  There were so many that we loved in this location that it was hard to pick just a few to share with on the blog.  So we’ll just end with the photos.  One of our favorite engagement photos is the last photo of the blog with them curled together on the steps.

SarahJustin2 We’ve gotten pretty far behind on our blog this year that these two are already married!  Stay tuned to the blog (don’t forget to add us to your blog reader) for their wedding feature!
