I haven’t featured any products lately, and I’m absolutely in love with this one :: a wedding guestbook, created from your unique engagement portraits. Kelsey and Brendon’s just came back from the lab, and I’m thrilled with how it looks! Imagine, a lovely book to have of your engagement portraits, and the love of your family and friends who are present to celebrate the beginning of your life together and their words and well wishes, all among the same pages. It’s like M&M’s and popcorn–separately, two things that make you happy, but together, have a whole other dimension to them.

Just like all of the products I offer, this album was custom-designed with the couple’s favorite images from the session. What I love are the big blocks of space throughout the portraits for guests to write advice, stories, or just a simple congratulations.

The pages are lightweight, and on a smoother paper than the other books or albums you’ve likely seen from us, to make it easy for writing without smears. I love the hinged paper so that the pages lay nice and flat–a total bonus.

It was almost a year for their paths to cross again after the first time they met, and when the second chance arrived at a mutual friend’s barbecue, she knew this opportunity was for real. And ever since, they’ve opened up space in their lives and hearts to accommodate what’s important to them. Each other. They’ve even gone so far as to move across several states and then back to the Midwest to allow Brendon to pursue his dream as an athletic trainer. And next summer, they’ll promise their lives to one another as they begin down life’s most incredible journey together.

We met up at Loose Park in Kansas City to photograph a few portraits for their engagement, and in the meantime, kept their dear friends waiting at their home, wishing to celebrate their arrival back in Kansas City. (To their friends who were so patient with us….thank you!) It was a glimmering, warm, nearly-summer day, and the air was effluent with the bright sounds of families playing and enjoying the weather.

So the only word I have to describe these two: adorable. Well, two. Freaking adorable. Kelsey and Brendon are sweet and warm, and their affection for one another makes your heart melt a little.

I love the way Brendon looks at Kelsey…such affection and intensity.

The rose garden was bursting with color, and the sweet aroma lingered all around us.

Love.

Kelsey and Brendon, it was a delight to photograph these portraits for you, and I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next summer! Cheers!
