Carie and Josh hired me photograph their big day in 2016. It will be a simple wedding, full of close family and friends, followed by BREAKFAST at their favorite diner in Topeka, Banjos. I love this idea and can not wait until the big day. Until then, I got to photograph their engagement session at one of the places they enjoy going on walks. The Governor's mansion (Cedar Crest) and Menninger's properties!

It was a decent December evening, thankfully not too cold. I like asking lots of questions about my couples so I can have an idea of their personalities and their lifestyles. I feel that it better prepares me for their big day.

We walked and walked and then walked some more! This place is amazing and I wanted to see it all!!

My little sister and her best friend married each other on a beautiful fall day. I was able to be there the day Duane purposed. He had planned out a couples session for them and little did my sister know, he proposed to her during the session!

Skylar planned and planned and before she knew it, her wedding day was upon her. Everything went smoothly and it was such a great turn out.

I arrived at Spirit Lake around 9:30 am, the bridesmaids were in the middle of getting their hair done.

Okay all, I think that's enough pictures, you get the point, the wedding was perfect :) I can not wait to see these two grow and take on all the new chapters in their lives. Who knows, maybe my sister and Duane will let me be their maternity and newborn photographer when that time comes ;)
