Yet another wedding with a fellow Northern Heights (high school in the middle of a cow pasture) alum. Chelsea was a grade ahead of me (her super hot cross-country, personal trainer bod is part of what has inspired my recent running spree) and was dating Tony even back then. Seeing them interact on the day of the wedding- I can see why. They compliment each other so well.
Chelsea’s dress had beautiful beading and lace detail.
I love ring shots
.
Shield your eyes for the next series-because Chelsea is just too hot to handle! I was super excited when Chelsea asked me to take a few pictures for Tony before the wedding and was even more excited when she said I could share a select few. P90X body in da house.

Tony is such a sweetheart. He left gifts for Chelsea, her mom and his own mother. I quickly captured a few shots of Chelsea opening her lovely necklace.
I couldn’t resist another ring shot before heading out the door
Chelsea and Tony opted for a “first look”- so we headed to the Emporia State University campus.
From the beginning, Chelsea talked of her beautiful veil and how she wanted a shot of it blowing in the wind. Here’s my take on it. I think this one is over-the-fireplace canvas worthy.
Gorgeous colors, yes?
.
These pictures aren’t technically anything wonderful, but they just crack me up. The bitty chair, the naked baby on the floor-and goofy Tony. The “first look” definitely helps to ease nerves.

I love Chelsea’s face
and the bubbles too
Tony is a firefighter, so after the ceremony we headed to the station for some shots with the fire engines. I love when clients give me ideas for pictures that have meaning to them.
.
I love these two!

It was THIS big. Yes, I am a 5th grader.
Aww how sweet, the first dance- and then BAM return of the P90X body. Just look at her back, shoulders and arms!
The image on the left is probably one of my favorite wedding dance images. It may not be all the way in focus-but the grain, the movement and the feeling to this one just moves me.
Chelsea’s brother gave the sweetest speech that brought tears to my eyes- and everyone else’s.
The most dancing I’ve witnessed of all the weddings I’ve shot to date.
Love it! Especially Sarah’s (gal on the far right) expression.
and finally, I leave you with this. The chick who caught the bouquet (just look at her fly) and Sarah’s disappointment.
Thank you Chelsea and Tony for flying me all the way to Kansas to photograph your day. Your relationship is beautiful.
Katelyn your pictures are beautiful…you couldn’t have captured Tony and I’s day any better. I already have the veil shot on the fireplace and we love it!! I just wanted you to know that you too have inspired me…..i’ve started playing around with photography and its so much fun! Thanks again for getting every wonderful moment of that day caught in a photo : )
Beautiful, Katelyn! You are so talented!
wonderful images and beautiful work..
