sarah + colby :: married!

posted in Kim, wedding

Oooh, I sure did LOVE working with Sarah and Colby! Columbia College was a delightful location for a wedding. EVERYTHING took place in and around Dorsey Hall, which has lots of classic character and is right in the middle of downtown Columbia. Check out some of Dorsey Hall’s special features below: the stained glass window in the chapel, a balcony in the Dorsey Gym that allows for photos from above the reception action, and a lovely lounge, where the two photos above were made. And it’s as gorgeous outside as in; the college does a fantastic job landscaping the campus grounds. And most important of all: Columbia College holds special memories for this couple because Sarah’s grandmother and Colby’s dad both worked for the college. Thanks to Rebecca Allen who was a second shooter for me that day and did great work!

Susan + Collin :: Married!

posted in Annika, Kim, wedding

Congratulations, Susan and Collin! We sure are big fans of one-location weddings! So convenient for guests AND bride & groom ’cause you spend every bit of your time on your wedding day hanging out with the people who love you MOST in the world (instead of transitioning from one location to the next…packing…unpacking…repacking…driving).  Susan & Collin’s location of choice was Rothwell Park in Moberly, a rustic, intimate lodge with LOTS of overhangs (that turned out to be pretty important because we sure needed some open air shelter on that rainy day). I was so impressed with Susan & Collin’s relaxed, “whatever happens” attitude on their wedding day, summed up as: “rain or shine, at the end of the day, we’ll be MARRIED!!! And a big hats off to Annika of SilverBox who is great buddies with many folks in the wedding party and who shot SO WELL that day!

newborn photography!

posted in Uncategorized

I just got back from a FANTASTIC workshop on newborn photography led by Julia Kelleher of Jewel Images in Bend, Oregon. So inspiring! Julia was full of advice and enthusiasm and ideas on everything . . . from posing to props to “how to get baby to sleep.” Thanks for all your expertise and generosity, Julia! We are excited for our new series of newborns here at SilverBox. Having a baby? Know someone who is? Call us! These sessions are best when baby is 10 days old or less, so we recommend booking your session BEFORE your baby arrives.

First things first: before you scroll through this post, cue up “You Got the Love” (one version released by Florence and the Machine in 2009) to set the mood. ‘Cause the only way to truly appreciate Dana & Doug’s inspirational, joyous wedding is by a having soulful, gotta-get-out-of-your-seat-and-MOVE musical accompaniment.

Let me know when you’re ready . . . all set?  . . .  music playing?  Having a hard time sitting still? Yeah, good luck with that!
OK, THIS  is the song — arranged specially for the wedding by Jacob Black (family friend, music teacher extraordinaire) and performed by the Elan Choir — that accompanied Dana & Doug as they hugged loved ones and danced back down the aisle, hand-in-hand, husband and wife.
Music! Doug & Dana’s love of music led them to one another: they met at the Columbia’s very own Blue Note. They formed “Music Makes it Better” to spread the power of music to move, stir, heal, lift and light us.
And their wedding was an ode to music: their dance down the aisle; an impromptu guitar serenade at PS Gallery during our shoot there; a dance beneath the Blue Note’s marquee; 3 music sets performed by Doug’ children, Bryce and Reagan, Jacob Black, and friends at the reception; and a surprise performance by Doug of an original song he composed for Dana.
Rock on, Dana & Doug!  Thank you for sharing your passion for music and for reminding us all that music DOES make it better. Pssst, pass it on!

Artist Jenny McGee’s red painting, “I Love the Way You Love Me,” (a favorite of Dana’s) made a special appearance. You can see it resting in the background of the next 3 pictures:
