CHRIS AND JESS...

Jessica and I went to art school together and when she asked us to come up to Kansas City to photograph her and Chris's big day I was so honored... there isn't a much bigger compliment then having another artist trust you enough to be in charge of capturing one of the biggest days of their life...

and it was a blast... Chris and Jess decided to see each other before the ceremony (which is always a big treat for the photographer) and so we had hours to hang out with them and their wedding party... They are an absolute precious couple, so in love and it just radiates from them.  From one of my favorite parks in the city and then down to the art district... it felt like we had our own personal models to do whatever we wanted with for hours... 

it was a perfect day... the only thing I regret is I had to pick only a handful to show you because everything we captured that day was beautiful thanks to an amazing group of people and a lovely city...
it was an astonishing October day in Kansas City, you never know up what you will get up there and honestly no one could have asked for a better day for their wedding...
they first say each other in the rose gardens, and we felt so privileged to be asked into such a sweet first moment... 

it is always a real treat to hang out with a groom as he anxiously awaits his bride... Chris was so excited and delightful to be with....
i promise, ask a young man to kiss a girl on the cheek, no matter the relation, and you will get an interesting reaction...

the guys were so much fun to be with, so relaxed and alive...




who says a wedding day isn't a good day for a race?

i think Chris may have been a little jealous of how many more flowers Jess got... so we gave him a chance with the bouquet :)


Kansas City artists are constantly busy changing the backgrounds of the city... we luckily receive the benefit...





there are tons of really amazing little shops all over the city....




they had their ceremony at the Art Incubator downtown, a place for artist to rent out studio space, so the place is just overflowing with creativity and potential...
Jess walked with both her dads down the aisle...it was a really sweet moment...
and after all of it they had a really great party with tons of friends and family.. .and they never stopped dancing...
