Jenny & Austin, Married

Every time I sit down to write about my couples, their wedding days, their families and friends, the cute decor or theme.. it’s always easy for me to write about the prettiness of their whole day.

Kansas City portrait photography + Kaye & Scott + Beloved

Kaye & Scott just happened to book in the spring, a day that ended up being about 80 degrees in this crazy fall of ours. The light was breathtaking, and we had them laughing (especially Scott and all his giggles) practically the whole time. We also incorporated some Beloved-lovin and this first shot just shows […]
