Kansas City Wedding: LOOK OUT WORLD! Mr. & Mrs. Nelson are official!

Ah finally, I get to update this post to add a few more awesome pictures and storytell about Adam and Carly’s fabulous day.  Good news or bad news first?  Well…only slighly bad news.  It rained…and rained…which would make the 2nd wedding day this year for me to be disappointed with Mother Nature for not allowing me more outdoor time.  It is actually only the 5th wedding day in my whole wedding photography career to rain most of the day.  So, I guess with those odds, I shouldn’t complain.  And besides, the rain didn’t stop us from making photo-fabulousness!  I knew it wouldn’t.  Carly and Adam are two kool kats and are infectious with happiness all the way around.  Ya just can’t go wrong.

Oh how I love to photograph the sparklies!

And how I do admire beautiful shoes…and the talent it takes to walk in them.  I don’t possess that talent. 🙁

Carly is beautiful inside and out, no doubt, but it does make me slightly more jealous to know that she’s super smart, stylish, and crafty.  She made these for her parents…sooooo sweeeeeet!

Couldn’t resist showing off the morning crowd.

Ok, so in going through all the many many images taken that morning…I came across this one…which at first glance is a cute image.  Then of course, the focus is drawn to the baby’s t-shirt…which is more cuteness……THEN, Matt (sitting next to me, desperately trying to help me limit my blog teaser pics) pointed out Adam’s (Daddy’s) shirt, to which I busted out a hard laugh.  OH MY!  How in the world did I not notice his shirt that day?!  SSSSooooo funny!

The humor doesn’t there.  Oh no.  Carly had mentioned that she had left behind some cucumber eye stuff for Adam to use that morning.  Knowing my hubby and trusting him to capture ALL the photo goodness, just knew he’d get a shot of it.  Well done, love.  And Adam, you’re a great sport, have I told you that?

Another sneaky shot by Matt.  I had to look twice at this picture, because at first glance he appears to be wearing boxers.  Nope…it’s just the dress up footings that throw me off.

Lucky for Carly, she’s marrying quite the match to her craftiness.  He had bought some super nice cufflinks for his dad, but when it came time to use them, discovered that their shirts didn’t have a spot for them.  Never fear.  Scissors are near.  (I better hurry with this storytelling before the Dr. Seuss in me breaks out full force!)

LOVED the guest book!!! maybe I’m partial because of the images used. 🙂

Adam wins the “MOST EXCITED TO SEE HIS BRIDE FOR THE FIRST TIME” award.  He looked like Christmas morning.

Carly said she teared up when she first saw Adam.  And then Adam teared up when she gave him his special gift. hahahaha

A random question mark in the background.  Love the hidden humor.

Did I mention that Carly is a HOT BABE!?!  Adam quite studly himself.  (where did this surfer talk come from?)

We had to run back inside as the sky was spitting on us…but Matt stayed behind and got this great shot of the church…which I love that red-door-stone-church.  It is very wedding cute.

Couldn’t resist the reflected fun.

🙂

BTW, I told him to strike this pose.  Both baby and daddy were quite joyful the whole day…but doesn’t this image make you think of The Hangover movie just a little? hahahahahahahaha

I love wedding parties that are so willing to go the extra mile…I bet it felt like a mile for some of those girls to walk up all those stairs, many in heels.  And it was shivering cold outside.  Thank you everyone!

Ooooohhhhh yeahhhhh!  The party has officially started!

Is that not a wicket awesome scene!!!!  I’m pretty fond of that new Kauffman Center for Performing Arts building.  It looks pretty bad @$$!

Oh my…this room…this couple…this stunning!

And yes…ring shot.  I’ll admit, I was tempted to run off with Carly’s ring.  It BLINDED with the sparkle factor.  (FYI, I left the dust on purpose.  Seemed fitting for the old-fashion hotel feel).

Carly & Adam, I hope you have an awesome honeymoon adventure. Congrats!
