When you photograph people in color,
you photograph their clothes.
But when you photograph people in Black and white,
you photograph their souls!
— || Ted Grant ||

Photography started out in monochrome, and although I’m thankful for color—sometimes it just makes sense to freeze the moment in the most classic of ways… Black and White! Here are some of my favorite moments from this past year’s weddings sans color. I can’t believe that I’ve photographed weddings everywhere from Cedar Falls and Des Moines to Vail, Colorado and small town Kansas! What a year 2018 has been. By the way, I’m still booking for 2019 weddings, so please feel free to send me an inquiry here or to pass my name on to a friend who just got engaged. Also, comment on the blog post and let me know which B&W photos are your favorites! :)
