Fact: When Elizabeth’s dad saw her for the first time it made me tear up. 1) I miss my daddy 2) Made me think about the time when one day Jake will have this same moment with both of our girls.

Fact: HANDS DOWN her bouquet ROCKED MY SOCKS OFF.

Fact: I’m obsessed with all of these bridesmaids dresses.

Fact: When editing through these photos what I loved the most is the DEEP love I see between Elizabeth and Brian. Remember that love EVERYDAY you two..hold on to it..and never let it go.

Fact: Brian’s brother Jason was one of THE FUNNIEST PEOPLE I have ever met (see images below)

Fact: Elizabeth’s Dad CAN DANCE. At one point in the evening there was a “DANCE OFF” from each side of the family. It was AWESOME (see images below)

 Elizabeth and Brian,

If you can’t tell by the last two images, I’m sort of in love with BOTH OF YOU! Thank you, THANK YOU TTHHHAANK YOOOUU for allowing me to share in the most important day of your life. I know I say this all the time but I TRULY MEAN IT…I love you guys.

Fact: Jennifer’s bridesmaids dresses – probably my favorite of ALL TIME. I wish I had one and I was in the wedding party.

Fact: Jennifer’s wedding flowers were RIDIC (I’m a sucker for hot pink in case you didn’t know)

Fact: If I had to do it all over again, I’d want my wedding hair to look like Jennifer’s. I was a bit obsessed.

Fact: Jennifer and Scott got married on his birthday. HOW COOL IS THAT!!

Fact: The two people singing at their wedding were hands down some of the most amazing singers I’ve ever heard. For a moment I thought I was in Madison Square Garden attending a concert. WOWZA…wish I had video so I could share….

Fact: Their reception hall, The Sawyer Room, was amazing – the owners of that place REALLY know their stuff.

Jennifer and Scott -

It was a honor being a part of your wedding day. You WITHOUT A DOUBT made me feel like I was just another guest and a friend for life. I wish you both nothing but love and happiness for life, you DESERVE IT!

Hugs,

Heather

Fact: Every single kid in this wedding party were some of the cutest little kids I’ve ever seen. This family DOES NOT MAKE UGLY KIDDOS!! Tee hee

Fact: Despite a few sprinkles in the afternoon and the constant rolling of Thunder as we took portraits outside, God was kind and it never rained during the ceremony or during all the outdoor portraits we had to take after (THANK YOU LORD – YOU ARE TOO KIND).

Fact: I love it when guys wear something other than a black tux – these suits were to DIE FOR!!

Fact: I ALSO love how all the bridesmaids were wearing different dresses in different colors. SOOO CUTE

Fact: One of my favorite wedding day gifts ever was when Stephan gave Lynsay dresses for their honeymoon to Hawaii. Yep – he picked them out ALL BY HIMSELF – and girls – HE DID GOOD!

Fact: The Marching Cobras are SUPER AMAZING

Fact: Lynsay is a photographer herself so the pressure was on this day….I hope from one photographer to the other – she loves them as much as I do.

Lynsay  and Stephan,

It’s hard to put into words the love I have for you two. I SOOO enjoyed getting to know you through this process and I’m truly blessed and honored I got to be a part of your special day.
Love you,

Fact – I love it when people get their makeup professionally done on their wedding – it’s just SOOO beautiful.

Fact – At one point in time when were were downtown in Parkville, MO taking pictures the train was coming and the railroad arm almost hit Maria in the head until I literally picked her up and carried her away. We laughed so hard I could have quite possibly peed myself.

Fact – I love the way Casey looks at Maria. In the craziness of the day there were a few times I would catch him looking at her and without him saying a word – he was speaking a thousand words, telling her how much he loved her – meeellllttt

Kristin and Anthony’s wedding was something out of a story book from start to finish. I know it’s a long post, but there was just no way to narrow down my favorites…..Sorry…

My second encounter with Christian Louboutin. If you don’t remember their engagement session check it out here.

Isn’t her dress GORGEOUS!! Check out all her BRIDALS HERE

Because it was pouring down rain we had no other option but to find some cover…I think we succeeded!!

All of Kristin and Anthony’s portraits had to be taken under cover..you can’t even tell….

I offered them a second portrait session since the weather was so horrible on the day of their wedding and they were all for it! I think it was well worth it…don’t you?

Dan Meiner is RIDICULOUS amazing

So was the cake done by the amazing Rama Sola

Kristin and Anthony signed up for our PHOTOBOOTH. This is a great addition to any wedding!

Yes that’s me and yes I love Ro and Phil…A LOT!
