There’s a routine I’ve come to value because it keeps my eye sharp and keeps me creatively engaged. After I drop my daughter off at school, I like to spend the first hour or so of my day driving around Great Bend, nearby towns, and the backroads in between, simply paying attention to what stands out. It gives me a chance to step away from the daily noise for a bit and settle into a quieter, more grounded place.

Blaiz and Lara were married on March 28, 2026 at Black Walnut Wedding Venue in Great Bend, Kansas, surrounded by the people who love them most. After photographing their engagement session in the summer of 2025, it was especially meaningful to be there again for the wedding day and to see everything come full circle. From the start, there was an easy warmth to the entire celebration that made the day feel personal, joyful, and full of heart.
