From the bride:

We met at a pick-up game of Ultimate Frisbee in May 2008.  I was just starting grad school and Drew was a new local high school biology teacher.  There were weeks of flirtation until Drew finally had the courage to ask me out.  We have spent all of our time together ever since going camping, running road races and marathons, gardening, traveling and playing with our puppy together.  In other words, we just hang out and enjoy time with each other.

We are pretty low-key and wanted a natural, relaxed setting for the wedding and reception.  We both agreed that an outdoor wedding had the most appeal to both of us; Drew is a high school biology and field & prairie ecology teacher and I am a biology/ insect ecology grad student.  I am an Army Brat and have friends and family all over the country while Drew is a Kansas City native with a very large family still mostly in the surrounding area.  We found Fresh Air Farm via Google, went out and saw the place and instantly fell in love with the setting and all-inclusiveness of their event package (they take care of set-up, food, drinks, music, nearly everything).  Everything else about the wedding was very DIY- from the hundreds of handmade doilies, wood discs, and hand-picked flowers to the handmade pennant flags that hung from the ceiling.

When I saw this pink wedding dress.. I was beside myself…!  I love that Sylvia, the bride, indulged herself with a very pink wedding.. dress and all.  Jason, the groom, was clad in a handsome grey suit.. and together they put together a most picturesque DIY wedding in a barn.  (Sylvia even designed the bouquet)!  The fresh, beautiful photos were taken by Kurt Boomer Photo. ♥
