Favorite Engagement Shots of 2011

Well folks, spending my day in bed with strep throat was not exactly how I had hoped to start this new year. While my body regains strength, I’m working on my last two posts that look back at shots taken in 2011. I am so blessed to have worked with so many couples last year – you are all GORGEOUS and truly wonderful people!

Stay tuned for my favorite wedding shots to come!

Kansas City Engagement Photographer: Ryan & Ashley!

These photos have been dying to hit the blog! I met Ashley at the bridal show in September, and from the minute I met her, I knew I was going to love working with her! She and her fiance Ryan have a spunk about them that is totally contagious. This first photo is one of the first I took all evening…it doesn’t take them any time to warm up to the camera!:)

You two are so classy and good-lookin’! 
I am loving this wall! And realizing I could say, “this is one of my faves” to every photo in this post!
Bottom left: one of my faves!:)Although they laugh a LOT, they sure can do a smokin’ serious photo!
LOVE!
They requested photos at their lovely home, which was such a great idea!
This one below would be stunning as a large canvas print!!
a little more laughter…
then a little more snuggling…

And I can’t help but post these last two silly ones… leaf boutonniere anyone?!

Ryan and Ashley, I cannot WAIT until your wedding in October next year! Congratulations again!
