Katherine, Kevin and I had a lot of fun Tuesday evening wandering the Country Club Plaza and Loose Park for their engagement session. We narrowly missed stormy weather and were stuck with clouds for the first half of the shoot – but as soon as we headed to Loose Park that late day sun came out in all of its gorgeous glory! Have fun with your wedding planning, guys, and good luck to Kevin as he starts graduate school in Texas!

A requested shot from these two.

Becky and Adam share a love for softball and baseball – they both play in co-ed leagues and Adam is a walking Royals encyclopedia that probably rivals my husband’s knowledge of the team (Lord help us if the two ever got together). When Becky told me that she wanted their engagement session to center around baseball and/or softball and preferably at a ballpark somewhere in town, we aimed for the big Kahuna – the Kansas City Royals. She wanted to surprise Adam with the shoot location, but couldn’t keep it to herself (understandably!). What an awesome location and even more awesome than the location was the natural connection these two have. I think it’s pretty evident in the shots. Many thanks to our tour guide, Ben, who gave us the royal treatment (no pun intended) and carted us around on a golf cart.

After leaving “the K”, we went to The Point near the Country Club Plaza, a place where Becky and Adam first met by chance and well…you know the rest of the story!

Again, look for these two again soon when I shoot their wedding in early July!

warning, good light junkies: this post is full of it. Gorgeous, incredible light.

love it!

Hey, I mentioned the light, right?

Adam shares the same birthday as George Brett. As such, he’s a huge George Brett fan. I can identify. I grew up watching the Royals when they were AWESOME – not to date myself, but I was in 7th grade when they won the ’85 World Series. I too loved George Brett. Perhaps a bit TOO much, I was always number 5 in softball and soccer, and I used to have childhood angst that he had to be so much older than I so I couldn’t marry him :p

Another George Brett tribute inside the Royals Hall of Fame: 3,154 baseballs make up the number 5 – his total number of career hits – in the center is the bat that garnered him his 3,000th hit.

Off to The Point, and a few shots in the street and open grass across the street.

I met Brooke and Mike in the Crossroads District on one gorgeous evening last night, what a refreshing change to have awesome light again! (and green stuff growing!) You’ll be seeing more of this couple soon, as I will be shooting their wedding in a matter of a few weeks! Can’t wait for June, guys!
