I really love Katie and Jake. I love how they felt like old friends from the first time we met. I love how laidback and fun Katie is, and how Jake fits her just perfectly. I love that her style is so classic and unique at the same time, and that it perfectly complemented the downtown Lawrence setting of their wedding. I’m so glad I got to witness Katie and Jake’s perfect wedding day! I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding full of more loving people to photograph. To make my day even more incredible, the fabulous Sarah of Beautiful Isolations Photography came to shoot with me. Thanks Sarah!

These flowers = my new obsession! Red Door Event & Design did an amazing job!

These shoes???? DEFINITELY deserve two photos! You’re just lucky I’m not posting all 324,630 of them. Oh…breathe in their beauty.

Loooove this photo of Katie and her sister….

LOVE those first sights!!! The look on Jake’s face says it all.

Could she be ANY more beautiful?!?! I didn’t think so.

I just love the looks on their faces as the ceremony was starting. Jake’s all, “Is she coming yet???” and Katie’s thinking, “Can I go yet???” Too cute!
On another note, how about those chandeliers???  I want to take them home with me! I adore The Eldridge!! I think I’m going to hang a copy of the chandelier photo on my wall; I love it that much!

Aaaaaand the beautiful Mrs.!!!

Katie did most of the planning for the wedding herself. Her reception details were nothing short of perfect!!

Money dance = fun EVERY time!

The way that Katie’s dad is looking on while they dance makes me smile.

He hates getting his picture taken. I wonder what he expected, marrying a photographer?

Mark and I didn’t take a whole lot of pictures during our first year of marriage. He was in law school, I was in grad school, we were busy; and, well, who was going to take them anyway? Baxter can hardly manage to walk or sit straight, let alone sprout opposable thumbs and maneuver half his weight in camera equipment.

Since having the incredible opportunity to be photographed by Jasmine Star several months back, I’ve tried to make it a priority to snap photos every now and then. Returning from Vegas and having a beautiful photographic record of the experience was so cool, and it dawned on me that it didn’t have to be a one-time deal. After all, my opposable thumbs work just fine and my 5D has a highly customizable self-timer to boot.

So the other day, I put on my favorite blue dress and drug Mark out the edge of town for a few quick snapshots of just another Lawrence day together. Next time, we’ll take Baxter along with us. And he will undoubtedly be sitting crookedly, just the way I like him.

Stay tuned; Katie and Jake’s wedding photos will be up SOON!
