Taylor and Dakota planned the most perfect wedding in Concordia, Missouri.  Taylor had a elegant, strapped, lace dress that was scoop neck and a low back.  She had eight bridesmaids help her get ready for her wedding day.  The dusty blues, purples and golds were the perfect combination for this timeless wedding.  Taylor was one of the sweetest brides that I have met.  She was so relaxed and kind to everyone on her special day.  A big Thank You to Shandie with Stewart Photography for asking me to help second shoot this important day.

I could hang out at this park in Concordia, Missouri all day if I could photograph Taylor and Dakota.  They have so much chemistry and were so photogenic.  Everything that we had asked them to do came so naturally to them.  Here are a few of my favorite photos of both Taylor and Dakota.

One of my favorite parts of a classic, midwest wedding is when you get to take photos of the bride and groom separately.  You get to make each person feel beautiful as their own person, especially the bride.  Taylor carried such a classic, beauty with her that I just loved capturing.

Shutter Drag at the Reception

During this reception in Concordia, Missouri, I tried a few new camera techniques.  It just so happened to work out exactly how I wanted it to.  A few of the photos above display this shutter drag technique.  Taylor and Dakota had the perfect day and I hope that looking back on their photos they can remember it exactly how beautiful it was.  I know that I will always remember how perfect it was!
