lauren & taylor | the wedding

Sunday, May 13, 2012

As Lauren and Taylor and their family and friends anticipated their wedding day, weather forecasters in the region were anticipating the almost sure-to-come tornadoes later that evening.  Somehow, though, that wasn’t a big deal for any of the guests I interacted with.  Everyone was so excited that this great day had arrived to celebrate two beautiful people’s marriage, and I’m so glad I was able to be a part of it.

I think first looks are so sweet, and Lauren & Taylor’s was no exception!

I thought this mad lib idea was especially perfect for the wedding as Lauren was an English major…

Lauren, that dress was perfect on you!

Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs.!

Kristen & Jeffrey | the engagement

Tuesday, May 1, 2012

I have to start by saying that Jeffrey is my youngest brother, and so I have a unique remembrance of the beginning of their relationship…  He started to be unavailable one evening a week because he was helping out a friend by being a dance partner for her college ballroom dance class.  ”But…aren’t there other people taking the class she could dance with?…(wink, wink)”  ”We’re just friends…”  Oh, that classic line.  And I think they were at that point.  Fortunately for us, though, Kristen took a liking to him, too, and we’re looking forward to their June wedding!

So pretty, Kristen!

Congrats, you two…thanks for letting me celebrate with you in such a special way!

Look at this senior…isn’t she gorgeous?!  And I came to find throughout the shoot that she’s just as beautiful – if not more so – on the inside.  I think she’s destined for great things at Southwestern next year!

So pretty, Lindsey…and those curls!

Lindsey participated in color guard in high school so we had some fun with it!

Thanks, Lindsey!  Best wishes next year!

Mary has such a glowing, vibrant personality, and I really think it comes through in these shots!  I think she’ll be brilliant in the graphic design program at Fort Hays State next year…

Gorgeous, Mary!

Best wishes next year, Mary!

Debbie LaVoie - Mary! Are you really graduating this year? It doesn’t seem possible, but I’m sure you’d disagree. So glad to see your photos on Jackie’s blog. You have grown into a beautiful young woman…who looks great in front of a camera! Best of luck to you at Fort Hays!

Kait & John | the engagement

Wednesday, April 25, 2012

Living in scholarship halls at the University of Kansas, it’s a classic, dreamy match for a Sellards Hall girl to marry a Pearson boy.  Sellards’ Kait found her Pearson boy, John, and their nuptials are quickly approaching!  It was an easy choice for us to do a Lawrence shoot, and we a had a breezy but nice day to work with…

Looking forward to the Nebraska wedding in a few shorts months!

*Sidenote on KU tradition: it’s bad luck to walk through the campanile before you graduate.  John graduates in a few weeks, so we kept him on the outskirts while Kait was more than welcome to be inside.

Gorgeous, Kait.

Thanks, you two!

Susan - Gorgeous! I love schol-hall romances, especially as mine is one! (Nick is a GP boy, and I’m a Douthart girl.) A Sellards-Pearson match-up is just too perfect. And as I remember, Pearson men are of excellent quality, so good find, Kait! Congratulations to you two! (And, as always, beautiful work, Jackie!)

Pat - Jackie, the pictures are beautiful as ever! You’re the best!
