JOSH AND TAYLOR
Weddings are a celebration of love, commitment, and new beginnings. As photographers, Adam and I have had the privilege of capturing many special moments, but there's something truly magical about shooting weddings at the bride or groom's childhood home. The intimate setting, the personal touches, and the sense of nostalgia all come together to create a unique and unforgettable experience. Recently, we had the pleasure of photographing Josh and Taylor's wedding at Taylor's family homestead in Warrensburg, MO, and it was a day filled with love, joy, and beautiful memories.

MARK AND DEEDEE
There's something truly magical about capturing the love and excitement of a wedding day, especially when it's a surprise wedding! Our first wedding shoot of the season was nothing short of extraordinary, as we had the honor of documenting a Surprise Birthday turned Surprise Wedding for my beautiful friend and former schoolmate, Dee Dee. The groom had no idea he was about to tie the knot, and his reaction was absolutely priceless. It was a day filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments that we were privileged to witness and capture.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITIZING YOURSELF ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
One observation I have made over the years is that many couples tend to become overly concerned with pleasing everyone else instead of focusing on their own happiness on their wedding day. It's understandable to want to make your loved ones feel special and included, but it's crucial to remember that this day is ultimately about you and your partner.

Last weekend, Adam and I had the joy of photographing one of my favorite families, the Guillens—Eddy, Ashley, and their two kids, Lena and Zavi. This family holds a very special place in my heart. Since 2015, when I stepped in last minute to capture Eddy and Ashley’s wedding, I’ve had the privilege of documenting their life together. From shooting Zavi’s birth to our annual family sessions, each year brings new memories to capture.
