Sarah & Stephen, married at St James Catholic Church and celebration at Briarcliff on 6.29.19   The way he looked at her was so sincere.

October 13, 2018 | Kristen & Tyler married at Our Lady of the Presentation & Lone Summit Ranch    What a wedding! I don’t think i’ve laughed this much at a wedding before. From the second I arrived  (I hadn’t met the groom before this day) and an ornery usher pretended to be Tyler and I fell […]

Melissa & Jason | Married in St Joseph, May 19, 2018 The wedding of Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle was well under way this beautiful morning and we were coming to celebrate yet another prince and princess.

I just can’t pin point what my favorite part of Alex & Blake’s wedding was. Maybe when dad was helping Alex with her dress before portraits, or when Blake was toasting to his father talking about him making him the man that he is and how grateful he is for that leadership, tearing dad up […]

Mr. & Mrs. Rachel & Johnny | Grand Lake, Colorado wedding June 8, 2017 We were at Indie Bridal last year, a smaller more intimate bridal show for creative people in the Kansas City and Denver areas. And I hear, “Oh you need to go talk to Jana!” Then I see two beaming smiles, a […]

Kali & Adam, just days after their engagement session at Loose Park’s Rose Garden in Kansas City, celebrated another Kansas City event.
