Kansas City engagement photography: Stephen & Ashley

A few things you should know about this couple, Stephen & Ashley. For starters, I met Stephen the same night I met Neil back in fall of 2003. He was the bassist in the same band that Neil drummed in, and the two of them, along with Mike from this session made up the best band that ever resided in Columbia, Mo. When Ashley came along, Stephen’s happiness was ever-so-obvious. He’s a cute guy, so he definitely deserves a good-looking girl, but Ashley exceeds the term “good-looking.” So when they recently got engaged and asked me to shoot their e-pics (their wedding will be a destination one next January!!!), I was ecstatic to have such a BEAUTIFUL couple to work with. And fun and sweet to boot!!

I should say first that it was extremely hard picking favorites from their engagement session in Westport.  But here goes….

WAit…these might be favorites, too. I just feel warm and secure…and if I feel that, I can’t imagine what Ashley feels like. 😉

As I told Stephen, I have NO idea why he would want to spend the rest of his life with Ashley….SIGHHHHHHH.
