I am blessed to be part of such beautiful weddings!  Tiffany and Josh's wedding was just amazing!  They are such a fun couple, and you can tell that their family and friends just love them.  They have an adorable son, who stole everyone's heart.  You can tell by the way his parents look at him that he is truly loved.  My assistant, Rachelle, and I had a great time!

Wedding at The Hope Center

This past Saturday, I had the priviledge of shooting a wedding with Jenae Winebrenner of www.imijfoto.com. (You should check out her amazing photos). The wedding was held at The Hope Center, which is a beautiful old church near downtown KCMO. The bride was exceptionally beautiful, had an amazing smile, and was what I would call "the perfect bride". Of course, her husband was equally charming. The bridesmaids and the women in the groom's family were dressed in the most beautiful saris. I loved all the gorgeous colors! They added a "sari ceremony" to the Christian wedding ceremony that was so touching. Of course, the sparklers used for the send off were lots of fun! It was such a lovely day!

Did I tell you how much I love to shoot weddings?

Wedding at The Elms

I had the priviledge of shooting a wedding with my friend, Arissa, this past weekend. We had a great time shooting together. Arissa shot this couple's engagement and newborn pictures, and now the beautiful wedding at Elms. You can check out Arissa's pictures on her website www.siteskins.com/arissas.

This couple was so much fun to shoot! They are so much in love, and so easy going. I don't usually cry at weddings that I'm shooting, but this was a tear-jerker. Just watching them look at each other was so wonderful. The groom even scoped out some places for us to take pictures on the Elms property. I love that!

The Elms is a beautiful setting for a wedding and reception. It was a wonderful day, but quite warm for the bride in her beautiful (but thick and heavy) dress and the guys in their tuxes. There were also more spiders than we prefer while taking pictures, but you have to expect that outside in the woods.

I loved the ring bearer's bare feet and the little flower girl in her gorgeous wagon. They were too cute. It was just a perfect day!

Niki and Nathan's Wedding

Wow! I had a great time yesterday shooting Niki and Nathan's wedding! I have been blessed with great clients, and Niki and Nathan were no exception. They are so much fun to be around, and they are so perfect for each other! It started out to be a rainy day, but we all prayed for beautiful weather, and we got it before the wedding started. Ask and you shall receive! Next time I'll have to remember to pray that the day runs according to schedule. Everything was running late, so I didn't have as much time to take pictures as I had planned. But I'm very excited about the time we did have and the fun places that we got to take pictures.

The reception was at the Scarritt Ballroom (see http://www.scarrittproperties.com/), which made for great pictures as well as a cool atmosphere. It is located at 8th & Grand downtown, so we had fun taking pictures outside in the cool weather as well.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures so far. It takes quite a while to go through all of the wedding pictures, so I'm sure I'll have more favorites. I should have all pictures posted on my website in 3-4 weeks. Enjoy this beautiful bride and all the pink!

Abby and Greg's Wedding

I had the priviledge of photographing Abby and Greg's wedding yesterday. I was so excited about their wedding that I woke up at 6:15 thinking about the images that I wanted to get. Then I went to bed last night thinking about their pictures. Then I woke up at 5:15 this morning thinking about their pictures. (Do you think I'm obsessed with photography?) They are such a fun couple, and their love for one another is evident in their eyes. Abby, of course, was beautiful with her elegant dress and bouquet. I got tears in my eyes looking at a few of her pictures today. The entire day was wonderful, and the details were well planned.

Here's a sneak peak at some of their images. The entire wedding party endured the heat, humidity, and bright sun quite well. As I'm always looking for the "bright side" of things, we got some amazing backlighting in several pictures even though we got squinting in others. The rest of the pictures will be posted on my website http://www.haleyphotography.com/ in about 2-3 weeks. Click on the View & Order tab then click on Greg & Abby under Weddings.
