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!

Scott & Cailin Madrid Theater Wedding Part Two {Midtown, Kansas City, MO}

March 28, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Back today for part two of Scott & Cailin’s wedding.  We headed over to the Madrid Theater for ceremony & reception time.  It’s a beautiful space.  Often couples get trapped by beautiful spaces and opting to do too many small things and miss making an impact.  We were super impressed by Cailin’s choice to do large focal florals for her ceremony (that doubled after the reception space flipped).   They added interest, color and impact without a lot of work on her part! The table designs were simple and tasteful spread with their favorite literature quotes, candles and homemade apple butter favors!

After all the nerves which melted beautifully into contented joy, everyone was ready to let the party begin!  The Madrid does such a fantastic job and accommodates wedding/ceremony combos so well!  While the staff flipped the ceremony space for dancing and dinner, the guest enjoyed drinks upstairs!  BBQ for dinner, great live music, quilt-square guest book, good friends and lots of laughter carried this event into the evening.  As we mentioned before, this wedding was particularly special for us since we grew up with Scott – so we got to enjoy the evening with lots of familiar faces!!

Congratulations Scott & Cailin!  We wish you much love and adventure.  XO – Sarah & Ginger

Scott & Cailin Madrid Theater Wedding {Midtown, Kansas City, MO}

March 26, 2018 · Leave a Comment

Scott & Cailin got married in a cool October weekend.  Their day was full of personal touches, family heirlooms, intentional choices, nods to their passions/interests and best of all, celebration.  All things, that weddings should be in our opinion!  We began the day at The 816 Hotel in the heart of Midtown where Cailin was gathered with her ladies, her mom, Scott’s mom & sisters.  Just one floor up Scott & his groomsmen were preparing.  It’s always amusing to compare the hustle and bustle with a bride with the relaxed joking and video games surrounding grooms.  It was easy to tell that both Scott & Cailin were nervous as well as excited for the day the lay ahead.

Because of the fall season and their ceremony time and Missouri – for real – they opted for a sneak peek.  We were able to duck out of the hotel with just the bride & groom and head to The Nelson Art Galley (where Cailin works!) for their first look.  The couple decided to exchange rings during this time, which we felt was a very special touch. We met up with the bridal party at a local arcade.  This felt like the perfect spot for Scott, the comic & game enthusiast!  With a few tables moved around, a few chairs to stand on ;) and some creative thinking – we were able to snag some fun images of the group as well!

We then took a trolly over toward Pilgrim Chapel and had a lot of fun with group portraits on some stairs on the side of an old building.  The weather was turning on us and getting seriously SOO cold, so we were all happy to get moving toward ceremony time!

Check back for part two at the Madrid Theater!

Dakota & Emily Wedding at The Barn at Schwinn Produce Farm Part II (Leavenworth Wedding Photography)

July 20, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Back today with photography from Emily & Dakota’s ceremony & reception at The Barn at Schwinn Produce Farm in Leavenworth, KS.   The arbor was draped in the most beautiful garland (which later moved to the head table) by Wild Hill Flowers, live guitar played and the wood chairs were perfectly accented by white ribbon and simple floral choices.  Emily’s brother officiated the wedding, and it was moving and personal – what a great choice!  The day couldn’t have come together more beautifully for these two.

These two high school sweethearts, were brought to tears (& of course laughter) by their siblings during their reception.  Being reminded of the depth of love that surrounded them as they step into this new phase of life.

Cake Cutting at Schwinn Produce Farm Cake Smash Bride Smashing Cake Barn Rustic Elegant Wedding

Okay, normally we say, don’t smash the cake (silently in our heads of course)…because brides don’t usually want to be covered in icing.  But in what can be only described as perfectly playful and lighthearted delight, within seconds of getting the cake her hand, Emily let loose on Dakota – smashing cake everywhere!  It was so fitting and silly and what a great start to the party!

Back today with the ceremony for Brandon & Alyssa.  While it was SOOO hot that day the ceremony was full of tender moments and committment of a lifetime together.  Presided over and blessed by family and friends.

We always love sneaking away for a few minutes to let them just be married!ab-blog-20

After all the planning and preparation that Brandon and Alyssa put into their wedding day it was time to let loose and enjoy the night!  The reception started off with heartfelt toasts and a thank you from the couple and then the fun started.  Our job is 1000% more fun when the weddings are a dancing crowd, and this one was (evidence below).  Normally when collections run a little big we cut back on the dancing pictures, but in this case we left lots in because they were so fun!

Brandon & Alyssa’s Deer Creek Outdoor Ceremony & Reception {Wedding Photography}

December 6, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Brandon & Alyssa said, “I do” this summer at Deer Creek Country Club.  And as we shared after their engagement, these two are just so likable.  It is an incredible thing to walk into a group of women getting dressed for the day and be welcomed into their laughter and joy and friendship.  We were very quickly smitten by the families and friends of these two.  Their day was full of special surprises, important details, personalized cupcakes and lots of joy!  Take a peek into their day…

These guys were on point, sometimes guys don’t like to be in front of the camera or need a little more encouragement to pose, but not Brandon and his men, they were ready to go and made our job so simple!ab-blog-5

Seriously, these robes, these ladies…a blast!ab-blog-6 ab-blog-7 ab-blog-8

Okay, that face Alyssa is making, that’s the moment she saw herself as a bride.  It was awesome.  Alyssa’s charm and grace come from straight from her awesome mom, Camilla!  We love moments with mothers & daughters pre-ceremony. ab-blog-9 ab-blog-10

Opting for a sneak peek, we headed into a beautiful portrait session with these two.  They just melted into each other and were such a breeze!ab-blog-11 ab-blog-12 ab-blog-13 ab-blog-14

Seriously, these two!  Check on Thursday for the rest of their wedding.

Brandon & Alyssa Engagement Session {Arts District, Kansas City}

October 14, 2015 · 26 Comments

Alyssa and Brandon are sweet and kind and have a really endearing presence.  We liked them immediately.  Their engagement session was a chance to spend more time getting to know them.  We spent the evening roaming the crossroads district in Kansas City.  We started at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts and wound our way down to Up-Down KC one of their favorite hang out spots.  The sun was setting, weather was cooling but still warm and the light was just perfect!

AlyssaBrandon AlyssaBrandon2Alyssa & Brandon we can’t wait for your wedding.  We think you two are just perfect and we are honored to be a part of your story.  XO – Ginger & Sarah

Patton Family Session

June 24, 2015 · Leave a Comment

We are not family photographers but we’ve mentioned more then once the sadness we feel after the final review session with our couples…we get a little attached!  So when life happens for them we’re honored that they call us to capture those memories for them.  We photographed Jarred & Amber’s wedding back in 2012, catch up with them and their day here.  Their little dude Cooper charmed us then, …we’re partial to redheads!  Then we were pretty pumped when they announced their little lady Avery, and we were able to go visit them and capture her newness when they lived just a few blocks away…but that was almost TWO years ago!!!  They’ve moved to Smithville and are thriving in a new home with their two growing kiddos.  We loved the opportunity to catch up with not only them but Amber’s parents and brother for an extended family session.  What a special opportunity and great memory maker!

Patton-1

Patton-3

Cooper has grown up so much and Avery is a perfect combo of quite and sas….which you know we love!  This is our first extended family session and we really loved the opportunity to capture the multiple generations in a relaxed session.
Patton-3Thank you Amber & Jarred for choosing us to document your family!  XO – Sarah & Ginger
