A Creative River Market Engagement Session with Jamie & Ryan!

When Jamie contacted me about shooting their engagement session, I was so excited to hear about her ideas for the shoot!  She envisioned baking cupcakes with Ryan (since they love to cook together), then taking time to meander through the City Market and then around the River Market area.  I loved this creative idea and we immediately started thinking through ideas of location.

The Farm to Table Kitchen seemed like the perfect place to start.  They allow anyone to rent out the kitchen in the City Market to create culinary works of art and they were more than willing to let us shoot in the space.  Jamie's Save the Date cupcakes were the icing on the creativity cake! 

We then ventured through the City Market, as Jamie and Ryan love to do, and shot the two of them interacting with vendors and checking out the beautiful flowers and fresh produce.  After that, we walked around the River Market to capture the love between this great couple.  It was very fitting to be in this location since their wedding will be taking place at the gorgeous River Market Event Place

Here's a sneak peek at their fun session!

Jamie and Ryan are thinking of incorporating lemons into their wedding theme, so we thought it only fitting to get this shot!














I absolutely loved Jamie's ring!








Congrats again Jamie & Ryan!  It was so fun shooting this session and I wish you all the best for your wedding next spring!

An Engagement Session with Kris & Sarah at Sporting Park & The River Market!


If you could sum up Kris and Sara in a sentence it would be their love for 4 things: Sporting KC soccer, coffee, their rescue dog Molly and each other.  After getting to know  Kris and Sara, I was beyond excited to hear that they wanted to include all these aspects into their engagement session!

Because they attend every Sporting KC game and sit with the most energetic soccer fans in The Cauldren (aka the "Blue Hell"), they were granted their wish of shooting part of their session in the Sporting KC stadium!  (Yes- the entire stadium was ours for the afternoon!)

It was great getting out on the field and touring everything... even the locker room. (Which, by the way, was really impressive... to me anyway! Anyway- enough about locker rooms!)  The stadium is beautiful and it was so fun being able to capture Kris and Sara's love and excitement for the sport!

We then headed over to Kansas City's River Market area where we stopped off at new, local cafe, Quay Coffee.  Kris and Sara made sure to get energized for the second half of our session with freshly brewed java and we snapped shots outside of them enjoying the afternoon.

Molly made an appearance and is a huge part of this loving couples life as they open their homes regularly to foster other pups who need a temporary home.  (Because of my love for my pup Lola, it was easy for me to give an enthusiastic yes for having Molly join in the session.)  Dogs truly become a part of the family and it was fun to have Molly involved!

Enjoy checking out their session!

Sara's engagement ring has a sapphire because of her Kentucky alma mater, but I'm guessing Kris probably also had Sporting on his mind.... win, win!













Wedding date!!











Loved Molly's expressions in these... she's obviously not a fan of her mom & dad kissing!  





Loved this shot! Seriously Sara... so beautiful!!






Congrats again on your engagement Sara & Kris!  Can't wait to photograph your wedding this September!!
