Today’s talent spotlight is on a Michigan wedding photographer Chris Parker of Parker Photographic. Chris is a friend of Glow Imagery’s (we both use the same portfolio website service.)
Chris has an excellent grasp of wedding photojournalism. My favorite portion of Parker Photographic’s website is the Truth portfolio gallery. Makes me a little jealous I didn’t get some of those pictures.

The Lenexa Conference Center is a bit of a marvel and features some very nice possibilities for your Kansas City wedding. The home was originally the property of the Lackman family. They were important figures in the early economic life of Johnson County. The property is listed on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.

During the wedding ceremony the skies cleared. What good fortune! We made our way outside to shoot some portraits while Ashley and Cale’s guests enjoyed cocktail hour. Chance always favors the prepared!

Cale and Ashley originally planned to have their ceremony outside on the impressive grounds of the Lenexa Conference Center. A regal farmhouse shares the grounds with the barn and wonderful little garden sits on the northwest corner. The garden is where they were to have the ceremony.

Rain changed all that. Friends, family and staff hustled to adapt the ceremony to an indoors purpose. It was pretty impressive to watch everyone work, keep their good spirits and improvise a new ceremony indoors. Bravo Cashley!

Needless to say, I had to stay on my toes too. The challenges of photographing an indoor ceremony are greatly different than an outdoors ceremony. That’s why I always keep my tripod and monopod handy regardless of the event.

Outdoor ceremonies are awesome, provided mother nature cooperates. Be sure your outdoor wedding plans have a workable bad weather plan. Forecasters don’t always get it right either, especially during the warm months of the Kansas City wedding season.

Heidi and Keith’s wedding took place at Liberty Christian Fellowship in Liberty, Mo. Several folks there helped out with their ceremony.

Heidi and Keith wear the heart’s of their sleeves which makes for great ceremony shots. She was so bubbly! I like it most when a ceremony has that laugh-out-loud moment that pierces the formality of the event without subtracting from it.

I love photographing weddings that break the mold. Especially when breaking the mold means to have a wedding that simply follows what is true to that couple, their friends and families.

When I first met Heidi in March, she came to my Kansas City photography studio, sat down on my big sectional and let loose her enthusiasm for her wedding and our pictures. It was awesome and we knew this was an artistic match!

Heidi and Keith have been married before and have the most gorgeous kids from their previous marriages. The children were selected as the wedding’s bridesmaids and groomsmen.

Their wedding was less about the merging of two lives as the union of families. At times it felt more like a family reunion than a reception. What an awesome day!

Meg and Eric held their reception at Crosstown Station at 1522 McGee St. in dowtown Kansas City. Couples and their photographers in Kansas City have many, many venues to choose from but I was very impressed with the space at Crosstown Station. It has a large bar with multiple service areas, beautiful brick with spacious main floor and an upstairs area for additional seating. The windows on the north side overlook the Kansas City skyline making for a space with wonderful possibilities.
