At Mosaic Photo, we love shooting outdoor weddings. This was our first time shooting at Camp Hiawatha, just north of Wichita.Graham and Erin are both joyous people normally, and even more so on their wedding day. They’re great people, and we had a great time shooting.

Wedding days can get pretty busy. From getting ready, to the photos (as photographers, we try to make it relaxed and fun, at least), to the ceremony, there isn’t always a chance for the bride and groom just to slow down and be with each other. Sometimes, the first dance is that little getaway.

With our telephoto lenses, we silently watch and wait to capture some amazing moments. Here are some of our favorites from this year.

While I love color photos, I figured I’d show our high contrast black and white photos here (we shoot and deliver both, though).

Some of my favorite photos from each wedding are the bride and groom together. I describe these types of portraits to be editorial. These photos aren’t posed, but directed. The result is a real moment that is captured beautifully and memorably.

The main theme through all of these photos is the authentic, candid interaction between two people in love on their wedding day.

Photos like these are some of the main reasons why I like wedding photography.

We had a great year with some great people. Our clients consistently amaze us. Taking a look back at the year is always fun for us.

At Mosaic Photo, we love telling stories. A big part of that is documenting the joy of the day through portraits. Here are a few of our favorite groom photos.

Take a look at our  groom picks from our 2009 wedding photography.

Mosaic Photo had the true privilege of shooting Erin and Mike’s wedding. A while back, C.J. and I had shot their engagement photos. Their wedding was a great reflection of their personalities. A small, intimate ceremony with family. Then, we got to spend a lot of time with just the bride and groom taking portraits of them. After that, their reception was a fun party, with games and our photo booth.

It really feels like we made great friends with this amazing couple. Congrats, Mike and Erin.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the day. We tried to balance their personality and taste, balancing a retro look with some bright and vivid, modern shots.

Here are the rest of their wedding photos.

I can’t say enough how blessed we are with amazing clients. While there are too many great photos of couples to count (well, too many for my attention span), here are some of my favorites from the year. It was really hard to pick.

We had a lot of great grooms this year. Here are some of my favorite groom portraits from weddings we did in 2009.
