2014 Engagements in Review - Oklahoma Photographer

Can you believe it is 2015?!

2014 was a tough year for me, My Grandma passed away at the end of 2013 and 2014 was just a time to go through it.  I learned a lot about myself & I realized I am just going to have to go through this because I don't think you completely ever get over the loss of someone you were close to.  My reason for saying this is because going through the loss of my Grandma I was able to do what I love.   I don't even know if my clients knew how much it meant to do what I love and be around people who were happy and in love.  

As I am preparing for the 2015 photography year I thought going down memory lane would be fun. These are 2014s Jared Wanzer photography top model engagement couples.  I had the best time with each of them & thank you for bringing joy to my life through a tough year, you all really do me a lot to me.

My goal with every engagement shoot is to make it real, romantic and about the couple.   I want each shoot to show the love they share for each other & be a day they remember, an experience.   I think we were able to do that in each of these engagement sessions.    If you are engaged or know someone that is engaged, I would love to meet with you and tell you more about why I do what I do & add you to the calendar.

Thank you for being apart of 2014, I enjoyed meeting each of you.  I look forward to our paths crossing again!! Happy New Year!!

BRIAN & BRITTANY ENGAGEMENT - TRAVELING PHOTOGRAPHER

Last weekend I made my way up to Wichita, KS. The weekend started off with this lovely couple Brian & Brittany.
I met Brittany in 2005, we both started waiting tables about the same time at Garfield's in Crossroads Mall in Oklahoma City. I was actually attending Photography school in Moore at the time. We always enjoyed working together and she was always very uplifting when it came to me pursuing photography as my career.
We haven’t seen each other since but because of the best invention in the world, Facebook, we have kept in touch every so often through the years. I was so excited when she contacted me that she was getting married and wanted me to photograph their wedding in September.

My day started out checking out Old Town, in Wichita. I went down early to drive around and scout out locations for us to explore. In the middle of exploring it started pouring down rain.
This normally wouldn't be a big deal because we could either reschedule or wait it out, but Brian & Brittany drove down from Nebraska. I was trying to figure out a plan, off to Wal Mart I went. I decided we would start out in their hotel and re-enact a pillow fight.
My list of supplies for Wal Mart was:
feather pillow
umbrella
batteries
& of course a Pepsi.

The result of the amazing pillow flight we created. The hotel cleaning lady wasn't to happy and I am pretty sure they wondered what happend when they came into the room.

We also made our way to Starbucks for more creative shots to stay out of the random burst of rain downpour.

It was such a great day, rain or no rain we had a great time! I am so thankful you guys asked me to be apart of the journey toward your wedding! Many more to come soon!
