Stephenie and Alex’s HOT pink and diamond sparkle-themed wedding was at Club 1000, a premier event space in downtown Kansas City.

Our first official SmugMug meeting in Kansas City was at a studio located in the West Bottoms in Kansas City, Missouri. It is the perfect place for on-location photographers.

Laughs and giggles. Emily and Josh’s engagement session was full of them!!
