Kansas City Wedding Videography – Maureen and Nick Sneak Peek Wedding Film

Jul 5

I have always said what a treat and honor it is to be asked back to film a sibling or cousin of a former bride and groom, but this one might just beat out all the warm fuzzies for all time. I have known Maureen since she was in high school and babysat my kids when they were little! We have loved her for YEARS! So when I found out she was planning a wedding with a sweet boy she met at KState! and wanted us to film her wedding, I was BEYOND excited! So were my kids! 🙂 Maureen and Nick, thank you for letting us help you capture this day – it was so special and beautiful and FUN – I can’t wait to edit your feature!

Bourgmont Vineyard – Simple Elegance Styled Shoot – Kansas City Weddings

May 9

When Kindra approached me to shoot this styled shoot in a new venue and vineyard in Kansas City I jumped on the opportunity. Bourgmont Vineyard is beautiful and will be even more stunning once the grapes begin to mature. They offer a beautiful and spacious home for the family to get ready in and the renovated stable is stunning and can hold 350. There is a lovely pond and gardens for an outdoor ceremony and I could just imagine a sweet couple saying their vows on this sprawling estate. It was raining the day of the shoot, but we had a break in the weather long enough to get some great shots outside!
Make sure you check out May’s issue of Johnson County Lifestyle Magazine. They featured Kindra and her amazing work with Simple Elegance and a rockstar team of KC professionals!

Kansas City Wedding Video – The Brass on Baltimore & Visitation Catholic Church

Feb 6

“Joy is about the deep rooted conviction that the way you are living your life is a very good way to spend a life. And the person you’ve chosen to spend it with is the RIGHT person to spend a life with.”

I adore these words from Fr. at Mike and Michelle’s wedding ceremony. This wedding weekend was so full of emotion and meaning as Michelle and her family had lost their Dad just a few months from this day. I am so very thankful we were able to be there to help them preserve all these amazing moments and words that are so fleeting.

Glamorous New Years Eve Greek wedding – Kansas City Wedding Video – Sneak Peek Trailer

Jan 7

Wow – what a way to end 2016 and start 2017 with this beautiful couple and their family and friends. I don’t want their amazing story to get lost in the glamour and stunning details of their day because it is one of the sweetest stories I have heard. They met in Junior High and grew up together in the Greek Church. There is so much more to their story that you will have to wait for the highlight to hear/see. This day was FULL of meaningful moments of family and friends and sharing of history and tradition, from the locket with Marina’s grandparents photos that was brought from Greece to the wonderful dancing that filled the Intercontinental Ballroom all night long! This was the 5th wedding that we have shot for this large family and we are truly honored to be asked back to preserve this day for Marina and Conner.
