KC’s Finest….Robert, AKA: Doe Boi

January 14, 2008

This is Robert, one of my good friends. I have forever wanted to photograph him and FINALLY he has graciously fulfilled my requests.

This picture is probably my favorite one.

Showin’ off some style.

And I can’t forget my fearless assistant…my husband. He posed for me as I was checking my lighting and this picture instantly reminded me of the Spartan warrior-leader from the movie 300. Ok, so he may not be half-naked and splattered with blood, but I still think he’s my big tough guy.

Thanks Robert for the good time.

Congratulations Gail & Kent!!!

WHAT AMAZING January weather we had Saturday!!! That is good luck, right there!

It was even warm enough in the evening we got some outdoor shots without become complete popsicles.

I started the day off hanging out with Gail in her process of getting ready…but I took a short break to give a little attention to this little girl. HOW CUTE!

The ceremony was held at the charming Danforth Chapel on KU’s campus.

They had a nice bride’s room.

I LOVE BUBBLES!

Those shoes were worth the pain. Lovely.

With a little driving around, we found ourselves a worthy Jayhawk statue.

Now, as most do…this LOVE has a story behind it. They were young sweethearts in college, got married, then parted ways in the early 90’s (I think 1991 to be exact). Then….as they say “True love never dies”…they found each other again and …well, here they are. Life is a journey…they had a past, this is their present, and they will be together for their future.

Mr. & Mrs.

This will go down in my history of most embarrassing things I have done at a wedding. This table represents my tragety. I was soooo thirsty and went to grab a 2 liter, which I did one-handed since I had my two big cameras in the other hand. The cap wasn’t screwed on all the way, the coke bottle slipped from my grasp and the next thing I know I have a sticky coke explosion ALL OVER the table, myself, and MY PRECIOUS cameras. I swear I think that coke kept spraying for near half a minute before some kind guests rescued me. I

was born a klutz.

Ahhh, and I must not forget to give credit to all the many fellow photographers that attended. Here are a few of the people who I spotted snaping some pics from the day.

Cool, eh?

Gail & Kent, I may not have been at your first wedding, but I can tell you looked as much in love, if not more so. Congratulations for finding each other again!

Congratulations to Sarah & Rory!!!!

The one-word description I give to this wedding was “FUN”. They had a beautiful ceremony at Prince of Peace, followed by an amazing reception at St. Andrews Golf Club.

It took the effort on several people to help Sarah into her dress…but this was my favorite shot of the lacing of the back.

This was going to be an out-take due to the glass glare behind them…but then I thought of a clever title to this picture: “The Bride So Beautiful She Was Blinding”

My first wedding to have Irish men in their proper attire.

Gotta have a nice ride!

“Excuse me, Do you have any Grey Poupon?” said the driver.

Bet you’ve never seen a Groom cut a cake like this!

The toasts were especially interesting. The Father of the Groom said that he could tell his son was in love because he had the same look in his face “At one with the world” as he did as a baby while laying in the sun, naked, with a rash. Surprisingly, it was a very touching speech.

And…here is the Father of the Bride. He AND his daughter said they weren’t going to cry. …so much for that. Here is the Father holding back as hard as he can.

And here is Sarah…started crying as soon as the DJ started playing the Father-Daughter dance song.

First Dance as Husband & Wife.

This was TOO Funny. Rory had Sarah’s dress all way up to get the garter, exposing her nicely sculpted leg…and then her father ran over to provide cover.

Mother-Son Dance.

This song was dedicated to Rory’s brother, a soldier stationed out of the country fighting in the war. Rory’s Dad, is also in the military and wasn’t originally scheduled to make the wedding…but last minute he was given leave.

OK, this has got to be the best DJ I have had the pleasure of working with. I would highly recommend him to ALL. DOCTOR DJ had everyone on the dance floor the whole night, and everything ran so smoothly. I HIGHLY recommend him for all future events.

What can I say…there is something sexy about a man with a purse, blowing bubbles.

Sarah & Rory…I had a great time. Can’t wait to show you more. Your brother and I have a lovely idea for your album front cover. Be prepared. 🙂

Congratulations to Brandon & Michelle!

At our inital wedding consultation, Michelle was sporting a nice round tummy. Their wedding was much more than just the union between Brandon & Michelle…it was the union of their family. And this little guy is now out of the oven and is sooooo cute! These are some of my favorites from the day.

Hey, look at this!!!! Real snow!!!…I didn’t even have to create the digital snow for this shot.

What can I say….beautiful.

I always love to see what the groom’s cakes will look like. It usually hints at his character….muscle-man.

I included this picture to show you the scary stairs Michelle had to go down in heels. Yikes!

I think Michelle & Brandon’s wedding sets my record for largest wedding party. Although there are only 8 Bridesmaids & 8 Groomsmen…I believe there was a total of 32 people in the collective wedding part. Some tux rental place made some money today, that’s for sure!

They did such a nice decorating job and Abe & Jake’s had some great mood lighting.

Michelle & Brandon, WE DID IT!!!! 32 people + families and all! You and EVERYONE I saw today looked absolutely amazing, I can’t wait to show you the rest of the pictures. Thank you for being great characters.

ICE STORM cause of Delays…

December 13, 2007

THIS is my front yard as of 5pm Today. This picture really doesn’t do it justice…it looks like the trees threw up. We just got back power late this afternoon after being blacked-out for two days….two very LONG days. Between my family being sick last week and my power loss these past couple days….it is to be expected that there will be some delays on pictures. Sorry. Mr. Coffee, Folgers, and I are working hard at catching up.

This is my back yard.

My sister, luckily, is enjoying the warmer weather of California right now…but her very nice car has been parked at my home (since I’m the airport taxi…living so close to KCI). Last night I heard some branches cracking around 1am and I decided to quickly move her car…and not a moment too soon. A huge branch quickly filled the area where her car had been.
Amanda, if you are reading this…you better give me a gigantic hug and thank you for saving your beautiful car.

Ok, so I have power restored, my house is warm again (no more burning books and furniture to heat the livingroom…since everyplace was out of firewood). I am working very hard to make up time, but I want to thank everyone for your patience in these icy times.
