For the past few months I have wanted to begin the process of becoming more of a destination wedding photographer and photographing Nick and Sarah’s wedding made me even more excited to start this part of my business! Nick and my husband, Nick, worked together here in Maryland at Fort Meade. When my husband was asked to be in his wedding, Nick and Sarah asked me if I would be up for photographing their wedding day! And I was so honored to be asked!

The day started out with a huge rain and wind storms hat rolled through early morning and ended up shutting off the power in the southern Kansas City area including the church and the hotels that guest were staying at. The guys had gone to a waterpark that morning and all of the groomsmen needed somewhere to shower.. Luckily Sarah’s moms house had power but I can’t imagine how much her water bill went up… The worst part, the power was out in the church and the A/C was not working. It was right around 90 degrees and straight sun all day! Luckily we had enough power from the generator so we could have lights. Even when complications arise, we find a way to make due and make everything work out.

It was such an honor to capture Nick and Sarah’s wedding day <3

This is the first time I have ever seen the bride and groom walk down the aisle together!! This was their first look <3

Huge shoutout to Chelsea, Sarah’s maid of honor, and her family for allowing us to use their property for portraits!! <3

This was the best way to end the evening. Nick had an idea to have all of their parental figures and grandparents stand around them while they sit at the piano. So much emotion and so much love surrounds Nick + Sarah <3
