better together in tulsa . . .

Documenting Jess & Jill's celebration marked a few FIRSTS for me:
- my 1st time to Tulsa
- 1st time to shoot a wedding without meeting face-to-face first
- 1st time [in 100+ weddings] it's rained the entire time I was on location. SPECIAL NOTE on this one, though: sure can't think of a more lovely place than their ceremony site if one's going to be trapped inside for the day.

McBirney Mansion...marvelous! The Jones & Gosch families...just a hoot to be around. And speaking of good people to be around, Paul [my husband who is usually home with kids when I'm at a wedding...Zoe, age 6, has actually said "YEAH! alright!! mom's outta here for a wedding, fun times ahead, right, dad?"] Where was I going with all this? Oh yeah, Paul came along to Tulsa, too! and HE did all the equipment packing & unpacking & umbrella holding. Come to think of it, though it rained SHEETS Saturday, I don't think I even got wet. aaaah, thanks, honey!!!

Jill & Jess: what a fun and fabulous wedding!!...loved loved LOVED meeting you, your family & friends. ~ amy

ooooh, oh! PS: forgot a FIRST....Jess & Jill's is the first coffee table album i've designed... [yes, i called kim about 40 times] ... I LOVE this album, hey take a look:

Jess & Jill's cute CuTe CUTE! coffee table book

a 9th street stroll in March...

Just finished the album from Kim & Andy's March 18 wedding here in Columbia, Missouri.

Kim, you have my utmost admiration; you are as tough as you are beautiful! I still cannot believe your enthusiasm for walking along 9th Street in 40-some-odd degree weather on a recently broken foot (tucked inside those black sneakers!) just before tossing bouquets to your 35+ 2nd & 3rd graders (and all this BEFORE the wedding). You go girl!

And hats off to your mom, Bonnie, for sewing all 320 lovely chair covers herself (wow)!

Check our your new album at:

Kim & Andy's New Wedding Album

Enjoy your honeymoon, Andy & Kim!

All the best
~ Kim

a SilverBox first ~ Su & Jason's on-line album . . .

Su & Jason's wedding was fabulous! What a unique combination of traditions from SINGAPORE (with Jason handing out red money-holding envelopes during a series of tasks & questions put to him by bridesmaids) and the quaint locale of WASHINGTON, MO (including that big red bus & a bit of barhopping ~ literally! ~ along the Missouri River).

This is the very first album we've posted in slideshow mode to the web. Whew!

Many thanks to Becca Young for her tireless and creative assistance in documenting the wedding.

AND a big hats off to Amy's bass-playing brother-in-law, PARKER, and his new band, SOMETIMES THREE, for this just-recorded music (which you can download yourself by clicking on the music note icon as you watch the album's unfolding story!) We are lucky indeed to be surrounded by such talent. ~ Kim

. . . and this is how we do it ?

one of the really fun things about photography: there's just always more to learn. In an EXCITING WAY, you know?! Is this how passions become one's happy addictions? Hmmm...do people who golf every weekend or cook something up everytime that get a chance feel the same way? [And could those people who love the cooking part please move next door?] Back on track now. So here's the thing. Kim & I have decided to, for the next 24 hours or so, ignore our families [a bit] and figure out if a web log might be a way to reach out to friends & family, to chat [even more!] with each other and just to share the excitement and EXHILARATION of making pictures. Not ready to go public with this yet, but looking forward to what awaits around the bend. ~amy
