Paul and Brooke

One of my favorite weddings to date was Paul and Brooke in 2010!

I met Paul while working in Alaska for the summer.  I was freshly graduated with my art degree and thought, "what should I do now??? ... hmm... think I'll move to Alaska for the summer!"  Part of the way through the summer he started working part-time at the little one-hour-photo/rafting-photography-tourist-trap as me.  He was a ball of energy and positivity and I immediately knew we would get along great!  He met his gorgeous and talented actress/singer/yoga instructor (trifecta, right?!) girlfriend while he was there the year before and they were inseparable!  We kept in touch after that summer and I saw him once or twice the following year or two in Kansas City when he played/sang at a local dueling piano bar (did I mention that he is also an amazing musician?). * Shameless plug: check out  www.paulseiz.com *

And was I ever surprised -and very excited- to get a text from him one fall night asking what I was doing the following April!  When I asked him why, he said something to the effect of "matrimony" and "we need a good shutterbug" :)  To which I replied "OMG yay!  OF COURSE!  I'd love to!" ...or something like that.  Lucky for me, Brooke is from Kansas City where I was planted at that time!

The early April day was warm and sunny, the venue was beautiful, and what a phenomenal and fun couple!  The wedding party was playful and hilarious.  And, in good Paul fashion, he donned a plastic splash guard for the cake smashing and a headlamp to find that pesky garter!  The two of them sang several duets and they and their guests nearly danced through the floor that night :)

And so, it being a little over a year since their "matrimony", here is a sampling of the pictures from their wedding.  I'll try not to stick too many in here, but there are so many great ones to choose from!

My Scoop

My photo
I am a homegrown Kansas girl who has toted a camera around since I could tie my shoes. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography from Emporia State University where I studied under the incredible Larry Schwarm (look him up, it's worth it!). My favorite things to photograph are portraits, children in their element, and the journey through maternity! But I will never shy away from weddings, engagements, or other events! The best part (next to my price) is that I shoot entirely on site, which means I come to you! Shoot me a note, I'd love to hear from you!
