Tony & Olivia's Engagement

I had the pleasure of meeting these two for the first time today. I am shooting their wedding in November, so it was time to get engagement pictures done. They were fun and laid back which always makes it easier for me. I hope you enjoy these few teasers, I had a hard time narrowing down the ones I liked!

The Hansen Family Summer 2008

What a hot day! I think the whole Hansen family will agree with me when I say that. Even with the extreme temperature, we were able to get great group photos of this large family. One shot even has four generations of girls. By the time we were done, everyone was ready to change into dry clothes and enjoy some air-conditioning. Enjoy your stay in Branson and I hope you can take these photos with you to remember your time together!

Justin & Lindsey's Wedding July 26, 2008

Despite the stormy weather outside, this wedding went off without a hitch. Once at the reception, I knew it would be a very fun night. The bride and groom surprised the crowd with a fun dance they had practiced to a mixture of fun songs. After the upbeat performance, they slowed it down and shared a very special moment on the dance floor. Thanks for a very unique day, I had a wonderful time!

Brad & Kimberly's Wedding July 25, 2008

I had the pleasure of shooting at one of my favorite chapels today, Stonegate Glass Chapel. With the beautiful colors and great venue, it was hard not to capture the beauty of the day. At the reception, the bride's mom and dad surprised the whole crowd with a flawlessly performed Tango. Thanks guys for a wonderful day and I can't wait for you to see the rest!

Natalie & Derek's Engagement Session

Today's engagement session was for a couple from Kansas City that hired me to shoot their August wedding at Big Cedar Lodge. Even though it was extremely warm, we were able to get some fun images. After starting at Jordan Valley Park, we took it to the downtown alleys for some fun fashion-styled shots. Thanks for a great session guys and see you in 30 days!

Brian & Sarah's Wedding July 19, 2008

This was one of my favorite weddings of all time. First of all, from making me laugh to giving me the exact pose without my direction, Sarah and Brian are two of the funnest people to photograph. I have never seen such a relaxed bride on the big day, nothing could take the smile off her face. I had to post a picture of her shoes because she took them off after five minutes and never put them back on. Once we went outside to get some fun pics, Sarah explained to Brian on how to "Flooff" the dress as you can see in the photo below. After a few tries he mastered the technique and we started shooting away. Brian even got a chance to show off his talents as a dancer as he led the group in The Chicken Dance. Sarah and Brian, I really had a blast with you and am so happy with the way the images turned out as I know you will be too!

Drew & Jessica's Wedding July 12, 2008

July 12th brought us to the quaint town of Valley Springs, Arkansas to celebrate Drew and Jessica's blessed event. The weather was cooperative just long enough for us to get some great outdoor images. Drew and Jessica had one of the largest cakes we had ever seen, and picked great colors and decor to make for the perfect reception. Thanks for choosing us to capture your big day!

John & Mary's Wedding July 5, 2008

John and Mary have been a pleasure to work with from day one. From meeting at a bridal show to their engagement session, I knew that the wedding day would be full of great touches. After the ceremony, the bridal party followed me to the park for some fun photos and I had to get a photo of John and Mary with drinks in hand because that is a standard pose for them. It was a great day, guys, and I was glad to be a part of it!

Meagan - Senior 2009

I had an awesome time with Meagan and her family this evening. It only took a few seconds before I knew I was going to have one of my best Senior sessions yet. Meagan has a natural smile that would make any photographer's day. We covered the whole park from barn to waterfall within two hours. Thanks again for being so great to work with and I hope you enjoy my favorite pics from your session!
