Kristine and Jeremy, Lees Summit wedding
Jeremy and Kristine got married at the Kansas City Baptist Temple. During the getting ready Jan and I love to work in the background, with a more reportage style (photojournalism, they used to call it just few years ago). Anyway, it’s fun to snap pictures when people are not aware you are even around them.
The reception was at the John Knox Pavillion in Lees Summit. What a great space. Here are some shots we took outside right before sunset. When it’s portrait time, the whole photojournalistic approach gets a little dimmed out and we start playing with different aspect of photography like perspective, shapes and colors, symmetry and juxtapositions. 
The wedding cake was a piece of art. It was a real size reproduction of her wedding gown, made out of icing. Also great was the lighting with spotlights and color accents that were 
I love my new “corner” setup at the studio. I have always been inspired by the classics of photography. Once I saw this shot by Irving Penn, and he was using a similar set-up where he would pose people in a tight corner. A trip to Lowes and few minuter with a nail gun later I had my very own corner. Great post production job again from Jan with some photoshop textures she created and the corner now looks like is made out of old concrete. Pretty cool. 
This is a little of a torture I put all the seniors I shoot through. I yell at them: show me the guns! and this is the result (bottom left). I can make a book just with “the guns” shot. I guess I saw to many spagetti western movie when I was a kid.

We went to the west bottoms, downtown Kansas City, to take some shots of them. The saw each other right in front of The Beast, one of the spookiest haunted house in town. 
Then, after some romantic moments we walked around for some fun shots. Here is me trying to get some sexy images
More romance under the overpass. Love this spot, such a great light. Also love the post production Jan did to the images. Lots of photoshop mojo flowing with creamy tones and layers of textures.

Some dancing and some fun during the reception.
The second portrait session was shot around Lees Summit. 
Love the vintage look and textures that Jan used on this image. She used several different layers of textures she created in our last trip to Italy. That truck has never looked so cool. 
The second session was at the River Market. First outfit was the cutest dress and we played by the promenade on the river.
The second outfit looked great fopr a stroll i the park. Here is when our little friend came along.
Third outfit was ideal for some gritty alleys. I love what Jan did with the textures and the vintage look she is mastering.
