A wedding reception at a fantastic bed and breakfast… a combination of charm and elegance.

Ryan and Jinny’s wedding took place about an hour outside of Kansas City but it might as well have been considered a destination wedding to me.  Roads to the secluded bed and breakfast took me through a foggy and dense forest, but once I reached the Orchard Hill Bed and Breakfast, I fell in love immediately.   Pear orchards surrounded the white tents that would host over 100 guests and Ryan and Jinny could not have been happier to finally get married.  I’ll let Ryan’s best man tell you their story- a story also both charming and elegant.

Reception Venue: Orchard Hill Bed and Breakfast

Both Danny and Jennifer met at the University of Illinois- he was from Kansas and she was from Virginia. But it wasn’t until they served as co-leaders of a small group did they actually form a connection that would set them on a path for a future marriage.

More than 300 people came from all over the country to witness the union of the couple in Kansas City where they partied late into the night at the historic Intercontinental Hotel on the Plaza. Jennifer couldn’t look more radiant in a sheer organza wedding gown and Danny rocked purple argyle socks.

I was very honored to be asked to capture the moments of the day since I knew Danny from youth group at Kansas Mission Church. I always remembered Danny to be very mild mannered for the most part, but also never hesitated to share his opinion when had one. It was for this very reason he caught Jennifer’s eye and the rest, as they say, is history.

Congrats to you both!

I was asked to shoot this wedding as a surprise gift by the mother of the bride, Sharon- who welcomed me instantly with a big hug. The whole churched buzzed with excitement in anticipation for the final union between Nicole and George. Emotions overflowed from both the bride and the groom during the exchange of their vows and it even got me holding back a tear or two! Nicole and George are such a charming and elegant couple and I’m so blessed to have put this video together for them. They are a true testament of God’s blessing when we seek Him first. Congratulations George and Nicole!

I had the honor of capturing the passion of two very talented Kansas City wedding photographers. John and Lisa have more than 20 years of photography experience between them and if they had it their way, they would always have a camera in their hands!

Colorado Springs is just as beautiful as it sounds.  Right at the foothills of the mountains, this charming city boasts some of the most breathtaking views from all angles of the town.  I had the chance of capturing some of that beauty at Paul and Erika’s wedding but it still couldn’t compare to the beauty of the ceremony held at the Pinery.  Thanks guys for inviting me to capture your special day!

I was drawn to Rebecca’s boutique cake shop just by driving past it every time I went to visit my brother.  Her cakes can be seen through the store front window and you’re immediately intrigued by the tiers of art she creates with fondant and icing.  She makes flowers of all kinds edible and delectable!

I never had an affinity for cake… that is until I met Michelle Rice.  When you walk into her shop, your nose is greeted with the sweet fragrances of cake batter and the different flavors she offers, including her famous guava cake!  She draws inspiration from her Hawaiian culture and music she can’t work without.  Some artists use paint.  Michelle paints with icing.
