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.

Hugs,

Heather

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,

Heather

Needless to say – after the shoot started, my nerves settled down and I think we got some awesome shots.

Claire and Paul -

Thank you for asking ME out of the sea of photographers, ME to photograph you. I’m so honored. I hope you love them as much as I do. I think it’s always important to take pictures with the one you love, EVEN AFTER THE WEDDING!!! I hope we do this year after year.

Love you,

Heather

Special Thanks to AVA Modern for doing such a knock out job on Claire’s make up.

If you ask me, I think she needs to be a walking advertisement for Gap or Matilda Jane

Thanks Emma for letting me play with you and your family. I hope you come see me again VERY VERY SOON!!!

Hugs,

Heather

Fact: I’m in love with her wedding colors. The dresses, the shoes…RIDIC!!

Fact: Shaina from AVA Modern makeup was AMAZING. I wanna get my makeup done now!!!

Fact: This was one of the most amazing wedding parties I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. I can party with them anytime (or take shots of whiskey).

Fact: I can’t hear the song “Shots” by LMFAO and Lil Jon without thinking about our Trolly RIDE!! WOOOO HOOOO!!

Fact: Maggie – you are adorable and I love you.

Whitney and Scott -

I love you both sooo much. Thank you for inviting me into your life, allowing me to get to know the both of you and most importantly treating me like I was a friend you’ve known for years.

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
