My great friend JenaƩ invited me along to second shoot this unbelievable wedding a couple weekends ago.
Ok, Mike, unbelievable? Yes. Unbelievable.  This was the most laid back, relaxed couple I think I've ever been around. Nothing was rushed and it was the most beautiful setting for an outdoor wedding - The Circle S Ranch in Lawrence, KS.

The colors of the dresses, flowers, fields and the light were the perfect combination of unbelievable - and there were some buffalo in the field which I haven't seen since Dances with Wolves. (Wait... do you say buffalo? or buffalos?) Let's just say there were more than one of them.

Brooke + David both interned at Heartland a few years back and Tom Brawner was the pastor for their ceremony.  He's one of the coolest guys I've seen lead a ceremony.

This was JenaƩ's wedding, so I got to have all the fun catching what was going on in the background or different angles on what she was shooting. She is so great to shoot with because she's so relaxed all day and full of great energy while she makes awesome pictures. She and I share the same style in letting a couple just [be] and not interrupt them while they have a moment together for some relaxed portraits. No posing, just, "hey let's go hang out over here," and then let them be - swing by her blog to see more of her work!

Here are a few of my favorites:
