Wedding reception toasts are one of my favorite times during a wedding day. It's always a chance to hear really special stories and intimate details of the lives of my couples from the people who know them best….and for Yuki and Anton’s toasts, well..

As much as Ben tried to prepare himself for the moment those church doors opened and he first saw Bailey....it was evident his preparations weren't up to par. How could they be?

Courtney's Dad said it best....Austin is the type of person who in every single element, characteristic and quality he possesses... is what Courtney's Dad ever hoped his little girl would find.

Two dresses, two ladies, two hearts....and one love.

In a huge sea of rice excitedly being tossed their way, Amanda + Ryan came out of those church doors two people who had just become something so much more, something that binds them as one

"You guys JUST got married!!!" I shouted, as we three stood in epic evening sunlight in a field of green, trimmed around its borders with the picturesque white picket fence. Julie laughed, beautifully as always, and Nate couldn't help but stare.

What Britta and Patrick share....You can't beat it. It's a matter of luck, of being blessed, and of being in love with your absolute best friend in this entire great big world.

The second those sheer white curtains were pulled back....and Christa emerged on the arm of her sweet Dad...Jeff's entire head just dropped. A mixture of gigantic grins, giggles, the feeling of his breath being knocked right out of him, and maybe a few tears welling up in his eyes....it all happened so fast.

Pennway Place at Studio Dan Meiners of Kansas City celebrated a fantastic Open House event on Thursday, February 18th - and it was a total hit!!
