CONGRATULATIONS Mr. & Mrs. Metzinger!!!
To day was a perfect day for a white wedding!!!! (Can you hear Billy?)
Kourtney & Jason got hitched at the MARVELOUS Longview Mansion in Lees Summit. This was my first time shooting there and the possibilities are endless! I hope I have another wedding there someday.
Here was one of my first shots of the day…THE DRESS!!!

Airflow…those old buildings with tons of windows have pretty darn muggy upper levels.

It was right before the ceremony when I was walking back towards the mansion and I noticed
Kourtney taking a peak at her guests.

I have to hand it to
Longview Mansion and their awesome planning services. Things went smooth like butter. Right after the ceremony, we retreated to a cute gazebo where we took the some pictures.

Yeah, baby!

We were all STARVING after the ceremony and pictures…so I thought it would be
appropriate to have the last few pictures, before going back, to be a race. I love the best man’s face as he’s running.

But wait…my previous customers know all too well that when I say I’m done, I’m really not. I sometimes say I done 2 or 3 times before actually letting go. I had the bride & groom stick out a few more minutes with me before going back in.

And it was
sooooooo worth it!

I love this one…one of my very favorites.

This, too, is also a
fav.

I started out with one idea and got this instead…which is way
cooooool.

Good kissers…they
must’ve practiced
alot.

Another fragrance-ad-looking pic…WHOA MAMA!

I won’t repeat the best man’s confession…but it was HYSTERICAL. I looked around the room and saw a few other people holding up their pinkies too.
hehehe ![](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==)
First dance.

Best dance move of the evening goes to Katie (Maid of Honor).

Night-time at
Longview…that place always looks beautiful.

HOLY HECK, it’s late and I’m so tired, but I really wanted to get something up as quick as possible for the newly weds who are off to
Barbados in just a couple hours.
I had an amazing time today and was extremely honored to be a part of their very special day. It was an absolute dream wedding and I could tell everyone enjoyed themselves all day long. You can’t get better than that! Congratulations, Jason & Kourtney, and relax & enjoy your honeymoon.
