Megan and Nolan are the kind of people that you become instant friends with the first time you meet them. They're up for anything including running out into the rain to take pictures or being freezing cold and wet during the sparkler exit. And they care about everyone so much, even on their wedding day when it's supposed to be about them entirely. Thank you for showing us all how to contra dance, for the amazing coffee, and for the new friendship. Love you both!

Kimberly and Mike’s wedding day at The Diamond Room was such a sweet celebration. The rain has seemingly been following me to weddings, but that couldn’t keep us from getting those umbrellas and making memories! ;) Kimberly and Mike will wait until it gets a tad bit cooler then head to Jamaica in December! Scroll to the end to see their dance party and some amazing vendors!

The wedding day was actually supposed to be rainy but sure enough, the sun shined the whole time! The reception at Mighty Oak Lodge was gorgeous, and full of so many special moments. I am so beyond grateful to have been their photographer, but most of all, their friend! They were so willing to take down that client-vendor barrier and invited me into their lives, not just their day! If you made it this far, thanks so much for taking the time to read and scroll! ENJOY~

Congratulations Amanda and Adam! You guessed it… this sweet, laid-back couple is getting married today and I’m thrilled to spend the day with them! Their wedding will be an intimate time surrounded by their close friends and family, without about what is typically traditional, but simply focused on having FUN and spending time with the people they love! Amanda and Adam are actually having two very special guests join their celebration today… their dogs!!! I actually get to take portraits of them WITH their pets. How cool is that?! I love the details that make each wedding day unique and special to the couple. We’ve got an exciting day ahead. ;)

Isabella and Justin’s wedding at Veridian Events was such a beautiful representation of their love for one another and a unique city close to our hearts! City lights and Springfield character created a beautiful space for this day, and I love finding new ways to document love stories in such a familiar place. The warmth of their company and excitement for their journey to begin as husband and wife is what brings this visual story to life.

Kensie and Jon are getting married today! WHOOT! These are probably two of the most thoughtful and caring people I know. When I called Kensie and her mom yesterday, one of the things they kept saying was how they just wanted me to be able to create. That means the absolute world to me! When you don’t put a creative person in a box, you’ll always get a lot more emotion and creativity. If today is anything like our engagement session, there will be lots of laughter and fun! I can’t wait to tell you all about their love story later this week. It’s a beautiful one!

Since most their family and friends were either from Texas or northern Missouri, they randomly picked Springfield, MO as a middle ground for their wedding. They rented a big Airbnb and invited all their close family and friends to share in a weekend of celebrating their relationship. I can tell you first hand that there's nothing quite like an intimate wedding surrounded by all the people who have impacted your journey.
