Arrowhead Yacht Club

2009-02-10T12:48:00.000-08:00

I have recenly completed a gallery of images featuring the wonderful Arrowhead Yacht Club in Greenwood, Mo. I've lived in Kansas City for the great majority of my life but I didn't know about this beautiful community nestled around Arrowhead Lake south of Lee's Summit. The yacht club is a spectacular location for a wedding. The club overlooks the lake with a wonderful sloping hill crowned with trees right next to the water. It's awesome.

Mike and Megan engagement

2009-01-29T19:18:00.000-08:00

Mike and Megan were the winning bidders for a portrait session I had donated to the Catholic Charities of Kansas City-St. Joseph for their "Late Night with Catholic Charities" event Nov. 1. It's awesome when couples can have their memories and celebration captured in great shots and help a good cause. These two will be tying the knot in late December of 2009 and they wanted a Christmas feel to their save the date cards and engagement pictures. So went with winter coats and Plaza lights. I've always wanted to experiment with nighttime engagement pictures... we are all excitied with the results!

Three wedding links you should see

2009-01-22T14:16:00.000-08:00

1. Think you have seen some ugly cakes? Check out Cake Wrecks. I have to say the second one is stupendously bad.

2.On another note much more asethetic note, this couple used a very cool wedding theme using pixelated images and flowers to create a distinctive look.

3.Lastly this is a pretty neat proposal video.

St. Joseph Country Club gallery

2009-01-21T14:38:00.000-08:00

I'm pleased to share with you a new gallery Glow Imagery has created for the St. Joseph Country Club. I have covered a few weddings at this pristine location in recent years and I must say golf clubhouse weddings are usually pretty nice but the St. Joseph Country Club as a wedding venue has to be tops on that list! Spectacular views and spacious interiors allow for couples to plan an outdoor wedding and have the comfort of knowing they can move everything indoors in the vent of bad weather and still have a wonderful event. The locations drip with wonderful photos Spring, Summer or Fall... heck even Winter.

Asbury United Methodist Church in Prairie Village

2009-01-16T07:09:00.000-08:00

I wanted to share with everyone a new gallery of images I made from a couple of weddings we have photographed at Asbury United Methodist Church in Prairie Village over the last couple of years. This church is really lovely with beautiful light and spacious interiors not to mention a great location which is not far from many reception sites in the Kansas City area.

Cindi and Ed - Reception and Portraits

2009-01-05T09:19:00.000-08:00

Cindi and Ed were fortunate enough to pick my last remaining Saturday in October. But really the true fortune was all mine... because these two were simply awesome! Ever since meeting Cindi I've bragged to anyone and everyone about how my bride is a grandmother. The pair met through a mutual friend... the rest is history and the future.

They held their wedding at Argosy Casino Hotel and Spa in Riverside, Mo. I had never shot there, but no unfamiliar location scares me. I have many, many years of experience shooting pictures in a variety of challenging locations and situations. It was a nice location with a great view, wonderful staff, terrific interiors with a lot of space for an event. I recommend checking it out.

Happy New Year!

Angela and Dave - Getting Ready and Ceremony

2008-12-20T09:19:00.000-08:00

Angela and Dave live in Baltimore, Maryland. He found me through a close friend who is also a wedding photographer. Dave is a freelance photographer working in his neck of the woods. It can be a little awkward shooting another photographer's wedding... we just aren't used to being in front of the camera. But I was up for the challenge! It also helped this couple was purely awesome. They really brought a lot of creativity and fun to the event by using Angie's parents' backyard in the country as a reception site. The entire wedding day took place in around Springfield, Mo. It's always a bit of effort to do a road trip wedding like this, but I was very glad to help Angie and Dave remember the wedding for years to come.

High School Senior - Heather

2008-11-05T09:09:00.000-08:00

Heather is a member of the Class of 2009. She and her aunt discovered Glow Imagery at a charity event for the Kansas School for the Deaf in September. Heather is a part of her school's sign language club and has a love for music, playing the guitar and bassoon. She was a treat to work with. A rain storm swept over us during her session and Heather didn't bat an eye or complain at all. Soon we were back at it, making some great pictures!
