This is one of my favorite images from this year.  I get a lot of compliments on it, so I wanted to take a second and tell the story behind it.
Travis and Lisa decided to see each other before their ceremony to get some relaxed portraits done in the Crossroads District in downtown Kansas City.
They met upstairs in the Arts Incubator where their ceremony took place in front of a large window where they had shared a moment on their first date. 

    For a "first sight" moment I like to give the couple time to see each other and shoot from a distance.  This moment happened after they had seen each other and was not posed, it just happened, which is how I always shoot.  I don't do a lot of posing people or telling them what to do unless they really need direction.  I find that my clients are comfortable enough in front of me to just be themselves as a couple and the pictures just happen naturally.
