Meet the Neff's! Kansas City Missouri Wedding

I've known Alisha for going on 17 years - it's hard to even believe that! We met in 1998 when I was stationed in Missouri by the Air Force. Over the years we have shared many laughs, and have ridden the roller coaster of dating (not each other, just in general, ha ha). Alisha hoped and prayed for a wonderful guy to make her husband. Well that day finally came and I was honored to be there to celebrate as well as capture the wonderful day.

She and Phillip are wildly in love. The love they have for each other was a tangible as the Missouri humidity. They laughed so much on their wedding day a week ago - they are perfect together!

My beautiful wife was my second shooter, she has quite the eye.

The Neff's this is everyone, everyone this is The Neff's!

Awesome "groom's cake"!

A special shout out!

Typically wedding photographers have a "second shooter", some big time photographers may even have a "third shooter" and an assistant.  What is also typical is that the images created by these assistant photographers are claimed as the lead photographer's own work - never giving anyone praise.  I've been that photographer, today I'm going to break that mold.

It was a special privilege to shoot Barton and Sarah's wedding on October 20th in Jackson Tennessee, with of all people...  My wife!  Andrea has quite an eye for photography, before we ever met she had taken some incredible photos of places such as Venice and Maine.  She loves traveling, but since we've been together she has kind of stepped back and let me be the official photographer on our many adventures.

Several times I've joked that maybe I'd give her my Canon 50D and then buy a new full-frame camera. That way I get a new camera and an assistant.  But after seeing her photos from this wedding maybe I'm the one who should be the second shooter.

Andrea I love you, you're an incredibly talented photographer (not to mention super sexy)!
