Married: Audrey + Jordan

You saw the sneak preview this morning, here's the whole story this evening! As usual, I had an incredibly hard time narrowing down images for the blog. So you are getting a whole 30 of them - and I don't even feel these tell the whole story! Audrey, Jordan and the whole wedding party were real troopers for dealing with the hand that was dealt them last Saturday in the weather department - heat indices reaching 110 with actual temperatures topping 100. No sweat you say? Yeah right! The ceremony venue was the incredibly gorgeous but unairconditioned Cottey College Chapel in Nevada, Missouri. Thank you, Audrey, for putting on your game face for a handful of bridal shots and some shots with Jordan in the kick butt Cougar convertible after the ceremony. I know it was miserable but you could never tell looking at the pictures!

Congratulations, you two.



This picture just looks HOT to me!


The super sweet gift exchange












love LOVE this series. The realization hits when the veil and dress goes on -
I'm getting married!


Sorry, Audrey, couldn't resist posting another one of these. So gorgeous.




Here we go!














Love the way you two look at each other!












Well, hello there gorgeous...




Not to be outdone by the "grownups"...


...she even had to get in on the "dollar dance"! :)

Audrey + Jordan

I'm in the process of narrowing down some favorites for the blog, but in the meantime, here's a sneak peek from last Saturday....a shot of GORGEOUS Audrey! More to come... :)

More of Red Sunset

I've finished editing Red Sunset's shoot (see below for some of the early highlights!) and here are a few more images. Interested in having a shoot done for your horse? Give me an email! The cost is a lot more reasonable than you may think to have photos of your favorite equine like these below.

Carriage and Driving Club of Greater Kansas City Driving Trial

Next to be completed and added to my proofing site this week is the Carriage and Driving Club's Driving Trial, held Sunday June 21st. It was the second of two events held by the club last weekend, the first being their Pony Express show on Saturday. Although I have seen a CDE before (even scribed for the dressage!), I've never photographed a driving event before. THOROUGHLY enjoyed it. The first thing I noticed was the camaraderie and FUN between the competitors. So much so that I wish some other horse sports would follow suit. Maybe the larger competitions aren't like this...I would not know...but I can say it was a breath of fresh air!

And speaking of air...and breath...during the afternoon obstacle runs, it got HOT. I mean dead-still-take-your-breath-away HOT. Yours truly started getting that tingly-nauseous I'm about to get heat exhaustion feeling with that black camera smashed against my face! But it didn't stop me from getting the below photos. As usual, the complete event is posted in my proofing galleries.























Aaaand...that's all folks on the equine photography blogging until I join you from the Columbia Dressage and Combined Training Association's Missouri Dressage Classic in Columbia, Missouri July 10-12, which I will be photographing. In the meantime...I have 5 weddings in the next month! So wedding photography fans...stay tuned, as the blog will take a shift here starting next week!
