Amy and Brian – Kansas City Wedding Video – Sneak Peek Trailer

Amy and Brian had the most wonderful wedding day – I love that Amy was able to get ready with all her girlfriends and family at home too! There is something so personal and comforting about being HOME when you get ready for your wedding day. They had a lovely reception at the beautiful Hilton President and we were able to take some great photos/film in Downtown Liberty on the way.

Enjoy their sneak peek film – can’t wait to edit the rest!

Dani & Jordan – Sneak Peek

This was a special one – well all my weddings are special, but this one was kind of extra special, because the gift from Dani’s Uncles was ME! Well, my video really. What an incredible honor and gift! Dani’s uncle Craig is a dear friend of mine and the man responsible for MANY of the beautiful flowers you see in the weddings that I blog, not to mention the creator of every floral arrangement that I have ever brought to a bridal show in Kansas City! So Uncle Craig and his brother got together and surprised Dani and Jordan and their family with the gift of video to remember the wedding day sights, sounds and emotions in such a beautiful medium. So very sweet!

Dani and Jordan are parents to the sweet little boy Grant, who you will see in the video – they are an adorable family. I loved it when Grant hopped up to hand the ring pillow to his Mom and Dad after the ceremony started, and what a great little dancer he is! We had a beautiful summer day and my favorite combination, a simple small ceremony and big FUN party after. I live right down the street from Dani’s folks, so it was extra fun to see friends, neighbors and a couple of my former brides and grooms at the reception!

Thank you to all – and enjoy your sneak peek!

Betsy and Mike – Short film

Well, we are ending the second week of the kids at school and I am SO HAPPY to start my wedding film blogging again with this beautiful piece! You may recognize the sneak peek from my website – it has been featured there for a bit. The entire film is just stunning! I was so lucky to get to attend Betsy and Mike’s rehearsal dinner, so we were able to include so many heartfelt toasts from family from that night into the short film. It was especially great for me b/c I filmed Betsy’s sister’s wedding a few years ago, so it was like visiting with old friends again! You will see all my favorites down in the details – from flowers, to photographer – it was a great night! Thank You Betsy and Mike for letting me help you preserve such a special day! Don’t forget to let the whole thing load – it is long, and will play much better if you give it a few minutes before you start watching. enjoy!

Style Me Pretty – Inspiration Shoot

Style Me Pretty – From Inspiration to Reality – Kansas City

I am so excited to have been part of this project with the most talented group of vendors in Kansas City! Not to mention having this work featured on the beautiful blog, Style Me Pretty!  This inspiration board was created by a Style Me Pretty bride, and our amazing vendors brought their own interpretation and style to the design as we brought it to reality. It was shot at The Simpson House (where Sam and I had our wedding reception 15 years ago!). Here is the inspiration board that we chose.

For JV -

Go HERE to check out some of the amazing images that my friend Adrienne Maples captured. Notice the adorable little flower girl – she’s mine! We had something of a “take your daughter to work day” for this shoot. Holly and Kindra from Simple Elegance did the styling and my dear friend Craig Sole and his team made the most amazing flowers! The dresses came from our friends at Bella Bridesmaid, hair and make up from Mink Artistry (my Lily really enjoyed this part of the day),  those beautiful paper pieces are from Lilah Paper, the very yummy cakes are from Natasha’s Mulberry and Mott and rental from Celebration Party Rentals.

This is the film that I created showcasing the shoot
