It’s so rare to see puppy love in engaged couples anymore. It seems like more often than not, marriage proposals are little more than an exercise in practicality rather than an expression of love. Not so with this couple. I have yet to meet a couple so in love. It was really cute to see how they interact with each other. As they gazed into each others’ eyes, lovingly held hands, and shared gentle kisses, an aura of love enveloped every shot. Let me assure, those smiles are genuine.

What would you do on a rainy day? How about have your engagement session? This couple had scheduled their engagement session and the day was super overcast all morning and the drizzle started falling a few minutes just before the session began. Well, they were all dressed and ready to go, I had my cameras and a few umbrellas in the trunk, why not? Here is a teaser of this amazing couple as they endured the weather during their engagement session.

At 7 months many children reach certain milestones such as sitting up, lunging forward (to crawl), and standing while holding on to something. Here Weston proved to have an additional milestone: cuteness all session long. What a fun little tyke!

As a child I wondered how it would be like to be 100 years old. Last December I was able to visit my 100 year old grandmother in New York a few days before the 100 birthday celebration my family gave her.

Here she is trying to trim a few years.

You guys are the best. Photographers all over would love to have a session as fun as was this family session! I think it was all you!

Some weddings have themes that aim to represent the couple celebrating their wedding day. Photography is the best way to capture such details of the event whether it be during the wedding celebration or during the wedding reception. I love it when couples agree to celebrate their nuptials with a unique touch and aim to capture them.

Sarah & Richard uniquely celebrated their day expressing their love toward animals–both wild and domesticated. They had Operation Wildlife come and set up some owls and an eagle to bring awareness of this organization that rescues such wild animals.

They also had a slideshow –not of them growing up– rather of their fun furry friends. As their guests stopped to see the pictures of their pets, I could hear some talk about their own beloved pets and their fun habits.

And they decorated their tables with pictures of their cats and dogs.

Indeed Sarah & Richard’s wedding and celebration was unique and enjoyable.

Since we wanted to take more pictures around campus, Kelly Dale and I met after the wedding and took a few pics. Something I really love about taking having sessions on campus is that every now and then we hear students walk by and shouting “Congratulations!” During this newly wed pictures, Kelly, Dale, and I some-what chuckled when someone shouted “congratulations on your engagement!” This location was a great place to have this session and the weather was actually warmer this day than earlier during the wedding. That Kansas weather for you!

Kelly and Dale’s wedding ceremony was performed at the Danforth Chapel on KU campus. Their reception was celebrated at Maceli’s on New Hampshire Street. Despite the KU/Nebraska game adding traffic and occupying most parking spots, thanks to Kelly and Dale’s careful planning for transportation and the help of great friends everything worked out smoothly. The floral decoration was by Bitter Sweet Floral & Design who added a great touch to the chapel’s adorable look.

Lindsey and Brett are such a handsome couple! I loved take taking their pictures! Their photo session went SO smoothly. I can’t wait for their wedding in less than 2 months!

They even brought their “baby” who is another beauty in front of the camera.

Taking Kim and Daniel’s pictures was so fun! They never stopped smiling! And are such a cute couple! They chose the best day to take pictures!
