Kyadda + Brian's Lone Summit Ranch Wedding

Kyadda & Brian were married on a Thursday at the Lone Summit Ranch in Lee's Summit, MO. When we arrived Kyadda was still getting the finishing touches put on while Brian and the guys played cards in their dressing room. We dodged storms all day long on their wedding day (I'm sensing a recurring theme here). It was pouring on our drive there but the sun came out just in time for them to see each other beforehand at the gazebo. It rained again during their ceremony but cleared off right after so we were able to make it outside again before sunset for a few more shots on the beautiful grounds at LSR. I could have spent an hour just photographing them at all the pretty areas there but we were all quickly melting! All in all, it was a perfect day and being that their theme was "Lucky in Love" it was only fitting that they had lots of lucky rain to send them on their way to Ireland for their honeymoon. How perfect is that? :o)

Here is a sneak peek at some of my favorites from their day. I had a hard time narrowing down!

Kyadda's super sexy shoes!

Robin & the team at Lone Summit Ranch do a fantastic job of taking care of the couple! And the food was delicious too!

The in-house DJs Alan & Andrea of BerryGood Light & Sound put together a great photo montage for all the guests to watch after dinner.
Mmm...chocolate fountain. Need I say more?
Future photographers, no doubt. ;o)

Mindy + Kyler = Married

Kyler & Mindy were married at the First Presbyterian Church in St. Joseph, Missouri and held their reception at Stoney Creek Inn.

I first met Mindy & Kyler last fall and did their engagement session when it was still chilly out in early spring. During all of our meetings and conversations a feeling of sheer excitement jumped out at me from them. They are such a sweet couple and wore their emotions on their sleeves. They couldn't wait to be husband & wife.

The wedding day was just perfect, sunny & warm, and after such a wet spring this was no small miracle. When it came time for their first meeting on their wedding day, I sent Kyler out into the courtyard of the church. Mindy was putting on the finishing touches inside. Both were bundles of nerves in anticipation of seeing each other, which led to laughter & tears and gasps of relief & excitement when they were finally face to face. I thought Kyler might just pass out! I don't think I've ever witnessed such an emotional first meeting! It was truly beautiful and a wonderful beginning of the rest of their lives together.

Mindy & Kyler, congratulations & all the best for many years to come. Enjoy your sneak peek!
