Last weekend, I had a farm shoot during a dressage clinic at Oak Knoll Farm with judge and clinician Maryal Barnett of Michigan. Numerous clinic participants signed up to have portrait sessions done of their horses...and even dogs! I am uber backed up on editing right now and trying to claw my way out of the hole (can you say late nights?), so while I'm working my way towards catching up and getting the entire farm shoot edited, here's a sneak preview for you all!
Briana and Dennis were the third of my weddings last weekend. They were married on Sunday at the Great Overland Station in Topeka, Kansas. Briana and Dennis are both in the Air Force and are presently based in Alaska. So they traveled a long way home for their wedding! Just like the entire weekend, they had beautiful sunny weather on their big day. Briana told me before the ceremony that she was told it is good luck if a train passes when you are getting married (the Great Overland Station being Topeka's historic rail station with tracks passing immediately behind the building) - sure enough, right in the middle of the ceremony, a train rumbled by!
Briana's mother gave her pearls after she got her dress on
This kid looooooved the camera. And wanted to see his pictures in the camera when I was done! :)
...another evening of gorgeous light
an appropriate backdrop for Briana and Dennis (have to give props to Lyn Scardina of Events! for this idea, though!)
Whew! caught up on wedding blogging. Now to my mountains of editing for these three ladies! :) Next up are some equine shoots at Oak Knoll Farm this weekend.
Last Saturday I had the pleasure of shooting Sally and Derek's wedding in Warrensburg, Missouri. Luck was on their side from the start - they had perhaps the most beautiful day all summer to get married. Below is a chronicle of the day - Sally is a classically beautiful bride, and Derek reminds me much of my own husband Jim - fun-loving with a bit of a mischievous streak. (ok Jim has a LOT of a mischievous streak!)
Thank you to the two of you for allowing me to be a part of your day. I hope you enjoy your photos as much as I enjoyed creating them!
sneaking a peek during a prayer - love it!
