Katie & Brandon: Too-much-fun to-be-weds

Wow is all I can say about Katie & Brandon. They are adorable. They are silly. They are photogenic! What more can I want? Katie is a teacher, so we began the session in a classroom (the location of which shall remain nameless… 😉 ) and Katie requested to utilize the chalkboard, inspired by a shot I’ve done for a previous couple back in 2007.

So darling!

Once again I was joined by Courtney Tompsen… and she did not fail to amaze. Here are two shots…of the same moment… Courtney’s is on the left, mine on the right.

And the good ol’ Mizzou columns…

a very frame-friendly portrait. They just make me sigh.

These are two faces of Katie. That would be…stunning on the left. Pinchably cute on the right. And want to know what made her giggle so much? I directed Brandon to support her a bit more the way she was sitting on his lap…and she said, “Support me like a good bra.” I warned her that I would relay that on the blog… 🙂

And one of my faves that Courtney caught. Added a bit of a spring/autumn tonality and LOVE IT.

The glorious dogwood trees make for lovely backdrops. (but I confess, I do not like their smell…like wet nail files.)

So precious. Seriously…no?

And here is Courtney:

And a lovely flare-ily shot from C.

Yellow and flowers and yellow and flowers… one for Katie’s hair! (the one on the left is Courtney’s)

I was requested to take a portrait for grandma that wouldn’t cut off their heads. How’s this? 🙂

These next two…are my favorites. They are the same image..but cropped and treated differently. I was so torn as to which one to use. What’s your fave?

Did I mention that I love daffodils? and daffodil-colored sweaters? And couples in love?

Brandon..do you KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE? OWWW-OWWW

Two more shots..same moment. The one of the left is mine! C’s is on the right (but I cropped it a bit…)

After this, we headed to Capen Park…or around thereabouts. Their dog came to meet us… such a friendly lil’ guy named Max.

And a shot by C

Ok, maybe this one is my favorite that Courtney took.I love all parts of it.

Do you see any bramble? (I overused that word during the shoot…. haha)

Go, Courtney! And go lovebirds!!

Hottttt.

I love this one. YOU GUYS ARE TOO CUTE!

And lastly…

KAtie & Brandon, you are my last wedding scheduled in Missouri for 2009 since I will be moving in the fall sometime… and I couldn’t ask for a better couple to cap out my mid-Mo weddings with. Courtney and I are looking forward to seeing you again in July… Have fun till then!!!
