Outdoor Bridal Sessions by Royal Photography in Kansas City
Several weeks ago, I posted a request on FB, Twitter and Instagram seeking out willing brides who would love to put their wedding dress back on and take some formal photos FREE of charge. I got a decent response - most from brides I've photographed in the past and one from a bride in Oklahoma who's wedding I didn't photograph. I felt honored that she and her husband would drive all the way up to Kansas City for a FREE photo session with me. The three brides above and below were taken over the course of two weekends. These photo sessions were not your typical bridal sessions as I wanted to do something different with each bride. Thank you Tiandre, Denise and LaTasha for your participation.

Happy Birthday President Barack Obama
Happy Birthday President Barack Obama. I believe you are celebrating 53-years of birth. Since your presidency – two terms – you have changed the lives of millions in this country. Most of which I’m sure you know you aren’t getting a pat on the back either. Please know that God put you in this position not only to make a difference but to be a witness for him. We may not get the glory for what we do but there is truth in knowing that nothing in life happens by chance. There is a purpose for us all. None of God’s plans fall on rocky soil. Many lives have been sacrificed, lost and even continue to fight for equal rights for the just. It’s evident that God has ordained you as a vessel to lead this country to prosperity. We all know that until Jesus Christ comes to rescue us from this land we call earth, our fight for justice, equality and human dignity will continue. You are only a vessel – like many before you – who were called upon to lead our country. I applaud you for all your efforts.
The above photo was taken before you took office when you came to Kansas City, MO and spoke during a Pep Rally at the Marriott-Muehlbach Hotel. I was one of many photographers who was fortunate to be in the same room with you. If I never get a chance to meet you face to face, this photo will be my hand shake to you. You and I both share the same birth month and are both left-handed individuals. LOL. My birthday isn’t until the 10th so we are in close proximity.

New Edition 2014 Concert Tour at The Midland - Kansas City, MO
Ronnie DeVoe, Michael Bivens, Bobby Brown (not present), Rickey Bell, Ralph Tresvant, and Johnny Gill...I don't care who you like. LOL..
Kansas City showed up in drowns to see the New Edition 2014 Concert Tour at The Midland this past Tuesday night. Yes, I was there as photographer and not as a "groupie". Needless, these guys still has what it takes to bring the house and drive the ladies crazy. I didn't realize how many songs Ralph and Johnny led on their albums. SMH. I guess you can see what time zone I was in back in the day. I guess I never listened to the words per se just the beat and catchy lyrics. All the songs they sang brought back way too many memories and flash backs. I'm sure I wasn't the only one either. Above and below are a few images from the concert. #NewEdition #TeamNewEdition
Cheers!

Roger + Bernice 25th Wedding Anniversary at Friendship Baptist Church
I had such a FUN time photographing this couple; both are church members of mine. Bernice is a free spirit young woman from Ghana; Roger is got to be the quietest man I know - very humble spirit. The 25th wedding anniversary ceremony encompassed their children while family and friends from all over came to witness. Just before the ceremony started, I heard Bernice speak in her native tongue with her family and I was intrigued. You can learn a lot just by watching and listening to someone :) During the reception, Bernice cut the rug as they say - she was the life of the party. LOL...she has some dance moves.
I wish them 25 more years and was honored to photograph their ceremony.
Cheers!
