Bob+Stacey Engagement

I’d like to introduce a super fun couple to you all…Handsome Bob and Beautiful Stacey! Those are now my nicknames for them… They make such a great couple I figured they needed nicknames. :-)

Well, major Congratulations are not only in order for their upcoming wedding, but also because they both just passed the Bar exam…yep, they are both intelligent attorneys, newly relocated to Kansas City from Iowa.

Since they are new to the area, we decided to shoot at the classic “Kansas City” location…the Country Club Plaza, which is also just a couple blocks from their offices. We met down at O’Dowd’s Little Dublin (it’s an authentic Irish pub), hung out chatting it up for a bit and then walked around an enjoyed each others company…at least I enjoyed theirs. They had to put up with silly me… :-) I hope you like the photos and I cannot wait to shoot their wedding very, very soon!!

Michael+Amanda Engagement

As one who is genetically thin…um, scrawny…and still quite out of shape, I tend to really admire people who are very fit and muscular. Their energy is radiant. That said, I want to introduce you to Michael and Amanda. :-)

Yes, they are actual people. No photoshopping was necessary to enhance their frames. Their beautiful physiques are just naturally reminiscent of the mythical Greek gods and godesses of old. I hope you enjoy the session we shot down at the Plaza.

Let them know your favorite shots! I am sure Michael and Amanda would get a kick out of it. ;-)

    AWESOME! Last two head shots. Very cool. Captures the intensity of their spirit. Black and white - about to kiss shot is very good as well. They are all great. Dustin you rock!!!!!

  2. Sandy Brill

    Great shots!! Hard to miss, though, when you have such obviously gorgeous people to work photograph! Congrats Michael & Amanda!!!

  3. Kerri Skirchak

    The pictures really capture the intensity and the playfulness of you as a couple. I really love the black & white picture of the two of you about to kiss, and the picture of the two of you on top of the ledge.

John+Jessika Engagement

John and Jessika are getting married on Saturday, so technically, I suppose, this was not really an engagement session. They already had a close friend of theirs (Zach Henderson) shoot their engagement session a while back. He is going to be in the wedding, and I am shooting Zach’s wedding later on. Yeah!

Anyway, John and Jessika met me for a quick “get-to-know-how-I-shoot” session at Faulkners Pumpkin Farm. We had a great time and it was good getting to hang out with this cool couple. We talked “Apple” gear and  about their big day and what their plans are for the future. It was a good time had by all.
