One of our wedding clients from this past Fall received her wedding album recently and had this to say…

“Chris, we just got our album in the mail and it totally made me cry - in a good way. You did such a magical job of capturing our wedding and then laying out our story in a few simple pages. The spirit of both of us and what we wanted for, and got, that day is captured in your images. Thank you so much for documenting our day in such a wonderful way. We will always treasure the photos, but even more than that the class and support you provided on our wedding day.” Jennifer Gordon Erickson, married October 10, 2009.

Thank you Evan and Amanda, this Kansas City photographer will always be honored to have been a part of your day!

Ashley and Cale are Jayhawks living in New York City. I first met the couple last year during one of their Kansas City wedding planning trips. For our initial consultation they brought along Ashley’s parents who shared a painful story about losing all but one of their wedding pictures when they trusted their wedding memories to a friend years ago. Their experience and loss made plain for them the importance of getting their daughter’s photography right with the one chance they have.

I knew it was going to be a terrific wedding when we first met. They chose to have the entire wedding at the Lenexa Conference Center. This location is not typically used for weddings, but leave it to a couple of architects like Cale and Ashley to know the true potential for a space like that.

It is an exquisite space, especially for a pair of new New Yorkers who wanted to make sure their wedding kept the rustic mood, tone and spirit of the Great Plains.

Enjoy the pics.

Here’s a little snippet from a fun shoot done for my future sister-in-law. She wanted some professional pics but we managed some less formal poses too. As a photographer, I love finding ways to grow and make images more compelling even on the smallest of portrait projects.
