I met with Emily and Dylan around Christmas time right after I decided to start taking weddings again in the Kansas City area. It was my first client meeting in over three years since almost all of my past brides had booked me over the phone or through email prior to that. I remember showing up to Starbucks a little bit nervous and feeling a little bit dusty on my “wedding interview” skills, but these two were so kind as I fumbled through my sample album and asked them about their wedding day. This cold, snowy winter had left my camera on a shelf for several months and those same feelings of “dustiness” came out when I showed up at their session.  I think all photographers have to “get their head in the game” at the first location and then it gets easier and creativity starts flowing from that point on, and it was the same for me! I felt a little nervous and excited about my first engagement shoot in months! We had decided to go to a few of their favorite spots for their session and it was such a beautiful day for photos! Two hours after walking around Kansas City with Emily and Dylan I was in “the zone” and was really excited to see what the photos looked like, and I was very happy with the connection that I was able to capture between this lovely couple! These two are so beautiful and kind, and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at the Martin’s country home this Fall.
