Branson, MO Wedding Photography: Shell Knob

DeeDee and Joel's wedding took place at a beautiful private home in Shell Knob, Missouri overlooking Table Rock Lake.

Afterwards, guests and family were treated to a reception at the Shell Knob Community Center, which featured dinner, dancing... and lots of fun!

As with all of the weddings I photograph, my goal was to tell the story of DeeDee and Joel's special day through pictures.  So I began shooting their wedding pictures as the bride was making her final preparations, in a private cabin at The Timbers Resort in Shell Knob...

DeeDee and Joel's wedding ceremony took place on an outdoor deck in Shell Knob, MO.  If you look closely, you can see Table Rock Lake in the background!

After the ceremony, we went down by the lake to take some pictures of the couple, their bridal party... and some cool footwear:)

Then of course it was on to the reception at the Shell Knob Community Center, where DeeDee and Joel's guests were treated to a catered dinner by Touch Restaurant of Springfield, dancing, and a wonderful wedding cake...

As with all of the weddings I photograph, my goal was to tell the story of DeeDee and Joel's day through their wedding pictures.  These are of course just a small sample of the wedding photos we delivered to the couple.

Bridesmaids In Boots!

Just had to post this picture from a wedding I shot this past weekend.  It's a trend that's popping up more and more here at weddings in the Springfield, Branson, and Ozarks region of Missouri:

Bridesmaids In Boots!

While they may not be appropriate for every wedding (the beach comes to mind) it's a great way to add a little fun and individual expression to your upcoming affair.

And the ladies tell me they're a lot more comfortable than heels, too:)

Check out more pictures from this wedding and many more on our Facebook page or Springfield Missouri Wedding Photography website!

Springfield MO Engagement Portraits: Erin and Shawn

I met Erin and Shawn on a beautiful Sunday afternoon for their engagement portrait photo session at Moonshine Beach in Branson, MO.

We started shooting pictures at the same spot where they became engaged a few months earlier, so there was already some serious romance in the air!

Here are some sample images from this couple's very romantic (and fun!) engagement portrait session...

About half-way through their engagement portrait session, Erin and Shawn took a quick break to freshen up and change clothes. 

That's something I encourage all of my clients to do, as it adds a little variety to the pictures, and often changes the mood of the entire engagement photo shoot.

I use the time to scout out some other locations, angles, and ideas...

These are of course just a small sample of the final images we delivered to Erin and Shawn.  While every photo session is different, we usually deliver over 50 finished, high-resolution images from a typical 90-minute engagement photo session.

As a professional wedding and engagement portrait photographer based in Springfield, Missouri, I shoot engagement portraits and weddings throughout Springfield, Branson, and the greater Ozarks region.

You can view images from a variety of other couple's engagement portrait sessions on our Springfield, MO Wedding Photography site anytime, as well as prices for our various packages.

The Mansion at Elfindale

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of photographing Caleb and Brittany's wedding at the beautiful Mansion at Elfindale here in Springfield, MO. 

Built in 1892 and totally renovated in 1990, the Mansion offers an on-site wedding chapel, as well as a private dining/reception area. Its classic Victorian style makes it a wonderul location for a wedding.

Here are some sample images from this couple's beautiful wedding.  I began shooting pictures about an hour before the ceremony, as Brittany was making her final preparations in the bridal suite...
