Dogwood Canyon Wedding Pictures

Even though I've photographed many weddings at Dogwood Canyon in Lampe, MO, I still look forward to every one of them because it is such a unique and truly beautiful place for wedding photography.

Krista and Jim's wedding was no exception!  After their ceremony in the Hope Wedding Chapel, we went to some of the most picturesque spots in the canyon to shoot some special portraits and candid moments with the just-married couple.

There are many locations to choose from, ranging from bridges to waterfalls, streams, and more. Here are a few sample pictures from this couple's very special wedding day at Dogwood Canyon Nature Park.

If you're planning a wedding a Dogwood Canyon Nature Park, you'll find that the on-site staff is wonderful to work with.  While the park is open to the public, guests always respect the private nature of a wedding ceremony and portrait sessions, so you have plenty of privacy.  

And... as you can see from the pictures in this post and elsewhere on our Springfield and Branson Missouri wedding photography website and blog, the scenery is second to none, no matter what time of year (these were shot in early Spring).

As always, thanks for reading and please join me in congratulating Krista and Jim!

 

Dogwood Canyon Outdoor Wedding Pictures

Sarah and Dan were married inside the beautiful Hope Wedding Chapel at Dogwood Canyon in Lampe, MO.

While it was a wonderful ceremony, this post is about what we did outside after Sarah and Dan were married!

Touring the Park

As an optional add-on to wedding packages, Dogwood Canyon offers private, guided tours of the nature park for newly married couples -- and, their wedding photographers! 

After taking the tour with several couples, I can't recommend it enough.  From waterfalls to scenic bridges, rocks and streams, it's an opportunity to be photographed on your wedding day against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful places in America.

This first image of the three little bridesmaids, along with several others you'll see below, are among my favorite pictures from Sarah and Dan's wedding day...

These are of course just a small sample of the wedding pictures I captured for Sarah and Dan on their special day at Dogwood Canyon.

If you'd like to see more photos from their wedding, and many others I've shot throughout the Ozarks, please visit our facebook page or Springfield MO Wedding Photography site anytime.

Award Winning Wedding Photography

This week I learned that Cool Change Photography won a 2013 Bride's Choice Award from the Wedding Wire Network!

For those who aren't familiar, The WeddingWire Bride's Choice Awards™ recognizes the top five percent of professionals in markets across America that demonstrate excellence in quality, service, responsiveness and professionalism.

Unlike other industry awards, they are based on real online reviews and extensive surveys from over 750,000 WeddingWire newlyweds.

The bottom line:  I have a lot of very happy clients.  And that makes me both very happy, and very proud... particularly because there were only two other wedding photographers in the Springfield/Branson market that also made the cut.

If you are planning your own wedding in 2013 or beyond in the Springfield or Branson, Missouri area I would be honored to photograph your wedding and add you to our growing list of very happy clients, too! 

Please feel free to check out my portfolio of wedding pictures and engagement pictures, as well as our affordable prices and packages anytime.

Thanks very much for reading... and a special thanks to each and every one of my past clients for taking the time and effort to write some very complimentary online reviews.  I truly appreciate it:)

Tony and Allison's Wedding at the Veridian

Tony and Allison chose one of Springfield's most distinguished venues for their beautiful wedding and reception.

Located just off Park Central Square at 309 South Avenue, The Veridian Events Center offers everything from a two-story lobby/atrium, to a spacious ballroom, and even an outdoor deck.

As you'll see in the photos below, I was able to take advantage of all three spaces to capture Tony and Allison's wedding photos at the Veridion.

We started shooting their wedding pictures just as the bride was making her final preparations...

These are of course just a sample of the moments and memories that I captured for Tony and Allison on their special day.

You can see more pictures from their wedding, along with dozens of others, on our Springfield, MO Wedding Photography site anytime.  You can also find information about our affordable packages and prices, as well as a contact form if you'd like to check availability for your upcoming wedding!
