Yeah.....I love this one!! So I had to put it before everything else. This is a long post.
Hey folks!! Wow, it really seems it is much more likely to find me updating on Facebook given the amount of time I let lapse between blog posts. My apologies to all of you who have been visiting, and have not seen anything new. (MOM!!!)
So, a couple of weeks ago I traveled to the Lake of the Ozarks to photograph the wedding of one of the sweetest couples I have ever met ~Danielle and Brian. It was a steamy day, but the bride was gorgeous and the groom was lookin' mighty smooth. Between some tear-jearkin' traditions and some shenanigans from the fellas, it was truly a beautiful day!
The nuptials were exchanged at Christ the King Lutheran Church at the Lake, and the reception was held at Osage National Golf Course. What a gorgeous venue!!
Here's to Mr. and Mrs. Gruebel - you guys rock!!!! It was an honor being a part of your special day, thank you so much for including me.
On to the shenanigans........below. This was totally the groom's idea. I think they were surprised I obliged. Danielle, this is a test: Which legs are Brian's????
For anyone who has ever had to wiggle into a dress on a 90 degree day...the joy of finally getting to the top (and being able to breathe!)
Bride's dad....seeing his baby for the first time. This always gets me.
OMG!! She truly has some of the most gorgeous eyes I have ever seen!!!
I loved the light at this part of the church. Yummy.......
Not sure who the florist was.....but she did a beautiful job with Danielle's bouquet! Hey Danielle, let me know who the florist was, and I will give her a shout-out!
Danielle was so beautiful. I just could not help but share a bunch of her bridals with you.
Pics like this really make my heart sing. Pure joy!
Every once in a while, I come across a pic (or a few) that ask for a little more artistic interpretation. I do like to take my photography and get a little creative...adding elements that make the mood of the photo stand out. :-)
yeah, I had a cupcake....they were awesome!!! (Again, Danielle.....who did these.?? Kudos!!)
And, just to illustrate what a wild bunch this was, a party pic. There are a couple more on my Facebook page.
Another fave from the evening. Totally spontaneous.
And I could not leave these two cuties out. Just a couple quick snaps during the day....but I love them!!
