Queen City Photography

Dustin reached out all the way from West Plains wanting a shoot along Route 66 with his C6 Vette. Naturally, I obliged. 😎🔥

We spent some time in a few different locations as well as snagging some rollers before calling it an evening.

That orange POPS.

It's time for a little wedding sneak preview!

There were a LOT of firsts, here:

- first destination wedding.
- first absolute s**t show of a storm to work with including waterspouts over the ocean.
- first wedding done for a great friend of more than half of my entire life.
- first double rainbow during a shoot.
- first (welp, we gotta just figure this thing out as we go) kind of wedding. 🤣

When it was all said and done, I don't think I would have done James and Kara's wedding any different.

It was chaotic and beautiful all at the same time. That's life though, isn't it?

I really don't do a ton of engagement or wedding shoots. When I do, it's usually for friends or family of friends, and I happily oblige. Most times, I'm shocked they'd even ask me to begin with.

I've known James for nearly 20 years, and I can say without a fraction of a doubt that he's one of the most genuine people I've ever met. The dude would give you the shirt off of his back and not think twice about it. He's also kinda not ever given a s**t in all the best ways. 😂

To have the honor of shooting his and Kara's engagement and wedding next June is something I don't take lightly, and I certainly won't forget it.

Here's some of my favorites of Kara, James, and Hunter from their shoot.
