Molly & Pippin

Church of the Holy Cross in Hutchinson, Kansas was the place to be for the wedding of Molly and Pippin. This wonderful couple met when they were young kids in dance classes, and have known one another about 15 years! They complement each other perfectly.

After the wedding, while their guests were walking to the church hall for the reception, we took a few minutes to drive to a nearby park for some outdoor portraits. A light breeze and the beaming smiles of the newlyweds made for some great shots!


Molly's mom is an amazing seamstress, as she made both the wedding gown and veil. The gown was as practical as it was beautiful, with a detachable train for the reception.



Pippin and Molly are students at the University of Kansas-I wish them much success and happiness!

Shana



Pretty girl + beautiful horse=a fantastic morning of great portraits!


Recently I got to photograph Shana and her Paint gelding at Wichita Riding Academy. Shana recently graduated from high school, and she and her horse are headed to Kansas State University, where Shana will be studying to become a veterinarian.

Savanna & Chris




The end of May I loaded my camera equipement and drove west to Colorado for the wedding of Savanna and Chris. We began photos at Garden of the Gods, on the edge of Colorado Springs. That was the first time I've ever had a wedding party have to get off the trail so that a string of horses could go by!



After some unique photos with Pike's Peak in the background, and with the "kissing camels" rock formation in a few others, we headed over to Briarhurst Manor in Manitou Springs for the wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful location for the ceremony! The reception was in the Conservatory there. The bride had selected a butterfly theme and the wedding cake and decorations were extremely unique and creative.



Chris and Savanna were a lot of fun to photograph, and quite willing to hike around for unique photos...I wish them many, many years of fun together!
