Dan and Kelly are a remarkable couple whom I had the genuine pleasure to share in their wedding day! Their traditional Catholic ceremony was in Lawrence, where family and friends gathered to celebrate with them.

The celebration moved south to an amazing barn down in Edgerton, Kansas. The band, Pacific Express, rocked the party all night with some incredible tunes for dancing. There were some real pros rocking the floor all night!

I had Cate Crandell rocking the day with me, helping me capture every special moment. All in all, we had fun shooting some amazing photos and I hope that the photos help bring Dan and Kelly’s story to life.

OH! A special note to…umm, make note of… Kelly’s mom made her fabulous silk gown and the bridesmaid dresses, AND did the flowers (over 700 colored roses!) and much more. That is one talented lady!

Make sure you comment and let us know what your favorite photos of the day were!

Blustery cold and crazy clouds followed us all day. It even snowed for a while!

A skilled master holding her ornate creation!

Ain’t it pretty?

Something about being a daddy to two girls…daddy/daughter moments always hit me.

Just look at that joyful face…you wanna know why?

This is a pretty good reason, don’t ya think?

YAH!! What a nutty bunch.

Stud and company.

Whoa! Hottie alerts! This was a fun bunch of ladies. You rocked it.

Hims and Hers.

Yes….I ALWAYS have fun in parking garages.

I flagged down the bride+groom (they followed me to the reception) and we pulled over and ran into the field for a few quick and cold shots. I loved the results.

Dance….burn, baby burn.

There were a LOT of great speeches and I had to include a few photos of these funny guys.

Check out the yum, yum cake! Cate is holding the light to the right. See her gray sweater?

Kind of a cool view of the barn, huh?

The barn…at night. It was cooooold outside without a coat! Ha!

To round out Bob and Stacey’s wedding day images, I am now bringing you the party! After the ceremony and the Nelson Atkins Museum, we stopped at the Brooksider to kick off the party. Later (where I pick things up) we headed to Brio on the Country Club Plaza for a full on reception with out of this world food and crazy times dancing for all ages!

The crazy fun crew!

Bob can fly!

Rock on!

The amazing food from Brio’s kitchen was open all night. Great idea…Oh, and the carrot cake was to die for.

Aren’t they cute? They were cutting a rug all night long!

Party time.

Stacey and Bob could not be stopped. Boundless fun and energy!

These two were a different story, though. Aren’t they cute?!

Juicy Ring Shot

Guys, it was awesome to be with you and share in your incredible day. I hope you all had as much fun as I did!

HUGE Congrats to my new friends Bob and Stacey. I love these laid-back, wonderful lawyers…and I never thought I could love an attorney! Ha! Their whole day was filled with tons of laughs and love. Nearly all of their guests came from out of town and so we decided to make the “typical” photo locations part of the day to showcase some funner bits of Kansas City. I hope the family and friends enjoyed it. i know I enjoyed playing tour guide.

To their family and friends: I loved, loved, loved getting to know ya’ll! I expect all of ya’ll to “say hi” in the comments section, k?

This is a quick post full of pictures that tell the story of only the FIRST part of their day…There were so many I wanted to share, I decided to divide it up so that rest are coming.

Bob and Stacey, thank you for your patience!

Lion King Tickets!

Look!! It’s Everybody!

Stacey’s brother is currently serving in Iraq so it was awesome to have him with us all day, in the form of his medal. Rock on, bro!

Not your typical family photo…Can anyone spot twinkle-toes?

MORE TO COME!!!
