JK Rowling

JK Rowling – While I am not a crazy fan, but I am thoroughly entertained by this fictional series. The books are fantastically written and the movies are wonderfully entertaining. Upon exiting the latest movie in the theatre last night, once again I was struck by how entertaining the movies are. I liked the simple style of the end credits of this one, too. Oh, and to sum it up, the estimated net worth of JK Rowling, author of the series, is one billion dollars. wow.

Michael+Christina Engagement

Michael and Christina met me the other day to talk about their wedding coming up very soon in August. I think I speak for all three of us…we are excited (I think they may be a bit more excited, but hey, photographers can have fun, too!).

We got to know one another, meeting at Starbuck’s on the Country Club Plaza and then meandering around exploring and having a good ol’ time. I hope the pictures show it. Let me know what you think!

Normally, I wouldn’t post a sultry pic like this first, but this was the first shot out of the camera! Hot!

First Shot!

Sticking out tongues!

His killer blue eyes make for wicked black & whites.

HA! Texture Experiment

As an experiment: I purchased a cool texture of iStockphoto and did some playing around. What do you think?

Gosh, you all are making my day! Thanks so much for the feedback!

Shannon - Thank you. They were a cute, fun, hot, and bautiful couple. It wasn’t hard to take pics of them.

Jan - I didn’t realize I posted so many! Goodness, sorry. lol! 14 & 16 were my favorites, too.

Kate - That was totally his idea. I had him climbing all around and he was resting there. I made him stay there for about 30 frames!

Jasmine* - Thanks!

Bobbi+ - You inspired me today, so it cuts both ways, yo! I am very new to all of this, with only shooting a couple weddings and this was my very first engagement shoot. Thank you for the kind words.

Weddings

Katie+Garrett Wedding

July 21, 2007 will be a memorable day, not only for me, but for Katie and Garrett as they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony. I, once again, tagged along with Heather Cole and her second shooter Aaron Harrison for a fun-filled day of creativity and boundless energy.

I will keep the dialogue brief, only to say that I think the fun photos speak for themselves. We shot at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church, The Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, the historic Country Club Plaza, Westport and at the reception which was at the awesome and historic Uptown Theater.

So, after these past couple of weddings, I have decided that Steller Photography is going to beginning an aggressive campaign for 2008 weddings. We’ve got the talent, experience, creativity and many, many open weekends to make it happen. Tell your friends!

The Reveal

This is all the guys getting ready to go in. Father of the bride is far left, groom is far right!

Amazing Catholic Church

This couple could not stop smiling or laughing…all day!

Happiest Couple Ever
