wedding photographer | Kansas City, MO

We just can't make this wedding one blog. It definitely deserves more than that. So, here's a photoshoot we had with the bride, Ruth, before her day began. She did anything, it was so much fun. If you like our work, contact us to do YOUR wedding!

This was a cool cave thing Ruth knew about on the side of the road. It was interesting getting there. Haha. It was also very, VERY muggy!

Tyra Banks, ANTM, anyone?
The wind was perfect for this shot!

Ruth loves her shoes. :)

Ruth had one of her bridesmaids with her to assist and she saw this shot and said, "Eve!"
Looking gorgeous Ruth!

We're going to present day now with our blogs, but will return to the past later. Almost two weeks ago now, Becca headed to Kansas City to photograph a wedding. She was there to photograph the rehearsal too, which is what this blog is devoted too. The word for this weekend was "HOT." So, hot. Everyone was still in good spirits, though, as the sweat was drenching down. Ruth and Brady, here's a preview of the rehearsal. Soon to come, the wedding!

These guys were so hot, they decided to get under the water fountain...
Laying in the shade, trying to cool off!

At the end of June, we got the chance to photograph Alisha who is, next to our mom, the biggest fan of 3ed photography. She promotes us everywhere. Haha. Keep up the good work, Alisha! A week after this shoot little Braden came into the world and we had the opportunity to have a little photoshoot with him also. Stay tuned for the preview. 

Alisha would do anything we wanted, she trusted us completely, which is always a plus. We got so many different shots. Little Siegel, who is her oldest son, talks up a storm! Such a joy to be around.

Siegel likes to talk to baby Braden. :)
He also likes to kiss him.

The next week we headed to Ramsey, IL and met with a pretty cool girl named Tierney. She was moving to New York the next day and thought what better way to spend the day than getting pampered and capturing every moment? 3eastdesign did all the makeup for the shots and loved every minute of it. I think she had a good time also. 

We headed out to get some cool shots on this door and on the way back, got stung by a bee! What an experience. Tierney had to be a crutch to be able to walk back to the house.

The consensus is this is the favorite photograph and should be on every magazine, ever.

Our church held a conference for Bible Time Ministries and this lovely lady came all the way from Florida to attend. She has been a family friend for quite a few years now and it was a pleasure to see her again as it had been at least 6 years since we've seen her. She has a bubbling personality as is shown in the photographs below. She loves to have a good time. These were all taken during a break at the conference on the our church's grounds.

family photographer | Effingham, IL

A couple days later, we headed to Effingham once again. This time, we photographed the Vail family at Bliss Park. Those boys were something else, such hams. We arrived at the park and the first thing the boys said to us were, "I'm shy, I don't like to get my picture taken." Well, they were definitely teasing. Beautiful day at a beautiful park.

This photograph should definitely be huge, love how the boys are looking back.

Loved the camera!
Beautiful rose garden at Bliss.

first blog in a long time. photographer | Effingham, il

We have decided to start blogging our photoshoots and therefore, I decided to start a few months back with a session we did in Effingham, Il. Meet Kendra, Troy and baby Gabriel. We did this shoot in one of the many parks Effingham has and it turned out to be a beautiful day. Gabriel is a precious little boy and enjoyed sleeping while we continued to photograph him and couldn't stop. You can tell how much love Kendra and Troy have for their little boy!

Little Gabriel had his eyes open for about 5 minutes the whole shoot! We grabbed at the opportunity!
