Mr & Mrs Cowan, Rolla Missouri Wedding

Weddings 11 . 26 . 13

This year has went by too fast. My 2013 wedding season has came to an end for the year. The fall season has been so beautiful! I am thankful for all the colors that stayed longer than usual. There isn’t a better couple I would have chosen to close out the season than Alyson and Michael. They are a super fun couple, and I had no doubt their wedding would beautiful. They decide to have a small wedding at Michael’s parents home. Their home is tucked away in the country and has beautiful views for miles. They said their I Do’s in the front yard. It was small, sweet, and perfect.

After the ceremony, they held a toast with their guests to ring in the their new marriage. Close friends and family were able to congratulate the new couple. As guests headed to the reception, I was able to spend some one on one time with the new Mr & Mrs’s. The photo opportunities at their farm were endless. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day.

They held their reception at Matt’s Steakhouse. They were several sweet and funny speeches made by the best man and maid/matron of honor. Dinner and dancing followed. Let me tell you the Cowan’s are good dancers! I was so happy to be apart of this wedding day. It is wonderful to shoot weddings from my hometown and see so many familiar faces. Best wishes for a long and happy life Michael & Alyson! Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (1) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (14) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (2) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (3) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (4) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (5) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (15) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (6) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (9) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (20) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (21) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (16) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (8) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (17) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (18) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (19) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (13) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (11) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (12) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (7) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (10) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (22) Jefferson City, Missouri Wedding Photography 1 (23)

Mr & Mrs Cunningham, St. James Missouri Wedding

Weddings 10 . 26 . 13

This wedding is a special one for me. I grew up with that goofy blonde hair kid, Brandon, but for for as long as I can remember we called him Mook. He is one of my cousins. We lived down the road from each other for most of our lives. I remember hanging out at their house several times a week and vice versa. Mook never missed a warm meal my mother cooked. I was thankful when Mook’s little brother Bubba came along. He took alot of the heat off of me, being I was the second youngest and the only girl around. I have always thought of them as brothers. I have the scars to prove it. That trampoline provided hours of fun, but I can remember Matt and Mook throwing Bubba and I off at least a couples times ;) Mook is one of the first of my cousins on the Cunningham side of the family to get married. Funny, I never thought he would be the first to get married until I met Sara.

Sara is sweet and kind, maybe a little shy when I first met her. Her sweet personality reminds me so much of my Aunt Janice, whom I adore. After about a year of dating, I knew they were going to get married. She was different to him. They clicked. I also think they kinda look alike and that is one of my “signs” for people who belong together. I know that sounds silly!

On a rainy day in October, they said “I Do” at the family farm surrounded by family and friends. In true Cunningham fashion, there were lots of laughs and jokes to go around all evening. Uncle D also had to drag out the backhoe for who knows what. Every time I go out there is running some type of heavy machinery.

That evening we danced and celebrated to an awesome band from Nashville. It was great to be around the family! There were also people I haven’t seen since high school, it is always great catch up. I am very thankful for Taisia Gordon who assisted and second shot with me so I could enjoy this day like the rest of my family. So, I kind of like family weddings, who’s next boys?!
