Sindhu + Vikas | Kansas City Wedding Celebration

parigo studios — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:33:44 +0000

Sindhu and Vikas’ wedding day was truly a new experience for us. A wedding day with two ceremonies: one Christian, one Hindu; three outfits each; portraits; reception; the works. That paired with some of the most kind, loving and warm friends and family we have yet to witness, and you end up with a day not soon to forget. Some of the things we loved most about this day — seeing each member of the wedding give their all to help the bride and groom in any way they can, which was especially helpful with all of the outfits and locations to cover. The looks on the faces of Sindhu and Vikas upon seeing one another. The emotional toasts and the forethought put into those toasts throughout the day. We have the highest image-count of any wedding we have ever shot on this day, so bear with us in the larger than usual blog post.

1st Ceremony: St. Mary’s Episcopal Church
2nd Ceremony/Reception: The Hotel InterContinental on the Plaza
Flowers: Village Gardens KC

A Mehendi Celebration

To say the least, I was more than excited to be asked to document the bridal mehendi celebration for Sindhu and Vikas’ wedding a few weeks ago. I was overwhelmed by the details, the love, and the way everyone expressed their love for the soon to be married couple in so many ways. I love how Vikas and Sindhu interact lovingly (and how he helps her since she is unable to hold things due to the henna), and Sindhu’s big warm smile/laugh. Cannot wait to share the images from the wedding a few days later. Enjoy.

Shawna and David | Kansas City Hoodleyhoo

parigo studios — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 23:31:30 +0000

Shawna & David are unique. They celebrated their union all across the country: New York (on 10/10/10 – a date special to them), California, Massachusetts & Missouri, to include all the families and friends they have gathered over the years. In the Kansas City version, we spent a fun evening with them at the Boulevard Brewery on one of the last chilly days of 2010. Many friends, all dressed uniquely, came to celebrate, and, if you will, “hoodleyhoo” these two into many strong years together. I will note, Shawna and David have been part of the Apple team for many years and now reside in California so they can be further entrenched in the Apple world– thus the apple theme!

Megan + Lucas | Married

parigo studios — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 16:51:09 +0000

Megan and Lucas have lived apart for a few years, traveling between Kansas City and Los Angeles to see one another. Their wedding both symbolically and physically brought them to live together. For their first dance, they chose, “If I Should Fall Behind” by Bruce Springsteen, a song filled with elements of walking together and helping each other get to where they are going. Megan and Lucas’ lives up to the wedding fit perfectly with the song, which led me to use it in their one song edit. Enjoy!

Ashley + Stephen | A Kansas City Wedding

The wedding day of Ashley and Stephen came along on an unseasonably warm day in October.

I love how the hair stylist had matching casts, which also matched the dressing room–

Ashley’s family has a long history with Hallmark– a theme running throughout this day. Also, this is her late Grandmother’s bracelet. Special touches like this mean so much.

Waiting for the call to the chapel–

Ashley and Stephen chose to see one another prior to the ceremony, which let to a much anticipated first sight–

One of my favorite images of the day — Ashley got a bit emotional prior to the ceremony, so her dad was cutting up about how she “took the pressure off of him”. Father/daughter moments get me every time.

Spying the reception venue–

Bustling and showing off the ring–

Thank you Kay and Hiatt families for letting us document your day. We had a wonderful time & wish you so much happiness.

Corinne + Erin | a Kansas City Wedding

Wonderful time at the wedding of Corinne and Erin at the Kansas City International Airport Mariott. I can’t share enough how much I love an expressive couple. Thanks for the chance to witness such love and laughter.

Corinne’s bridesmaid made a personalized card from the photo of her trying on her wedding dress-

Figuring out that hair-goop stuff

Great moment with Corinne & Erin’s moms (and the soon to be delivery of said wedding gift from Erin)

I love the moment here– sort of makes me think of the donning of the wedding attire as a re-birth, in a way.

This is the look that happens after you -almost- drop the groom’s wedding ring down the elevator shaft!

Opening of said wedding-day letter, amidst tears & laughter. so much love–

Sharing the sand pouring, into their new family.

Corinne is a lover of laughs,.. she brought these “pick your nose” cups for everyone’s toasts. They were a hit.

You know it’s going to be a rocking party when a bridesmaid changes into street clothing so she can breakdance!
