Topeka Engagement | M + B | Professional Photographer Stacey Zoll Photography
Welcome back photo viewers! Today I have the pleasure of sharing a preview of Molly & Brent's recent engagement session. I would love to share the whole thing with you (especially a couple of hilarious outtakes), but alas, I must narrow them down, so here are my top images that I just couldn't resist!
You may notice that I said "recent", yet the sun is shining! We were lucky enough to have what some may refer to as "decent" winter weather. I, of course, scoff at this sentiment because my fingers were still purple by the end of the session, as Brent so nicely pointed out to me, haha. The good news is, that after some intense heavy breathing on my hands, and holding them over the car vent while driving home afterward (don't worry, I only put one to the vent at a time), my fingers thawed out, regained their regular color, and my phalanges and I will live to photograph another day! Hooray! However, I will concede and say that it was much warmer than it could have been for being done in January, so thank you Lord for that... but I still won't say it was good weather!
So after the weather report, lets move on to the couple! They are getting married this Spring and were a ton of fun to work with. How Molly managed to wear a dress for this I will never know, she is clearly better at this "winter" thing than I.. and she looked beautiful doing it! Brent is a crackup and I so look forward to working with the two of them on their wedding day. I was lucky enough to meet the other members of the family as well that I have been told about from the beginning. Their beautiful four-legged babies are full of energy, personality, and were fun to incorporate into some of the shots. Working with all of them was a real pleasure and I sure hope they love their "winter" images as much as I do!

Happy New Year 2017! Topeka & Manhattan Kansas Photographer | Stacey Zoll Photography
Hello & Happy New Year to You and Yours! Due to limited time on my hands, I am a bit behind on my blogging (to be remedied this winter hopefully before lovely-wonderful-HEAT appears again). So I apologize for my recent silence on the blog, but here I am! I am happy to reflect on the memories made in the past year with joy and gratefulness for the work that I had, the people I met, and those I was able to share life with. Hopefully I will cross paths with some of you in the next 12 months!
Personally, I don't have any crazy resolutions for this year; how about you? What are your hopes, dreams, and goals for 2017? I do plan to work on some personal strengthening and enjoy my family and friends. One of my dogs has been working on some strengthening also. He likes to lay next to me on the ground while I work on some back exercises, with all four legs in the air in hopes I will scratch his belly while I'm at it. When I fail to do so in a timely manner, he merely moves towards me until his belly rests on my arm and he gets a belly rub from close proximity. He really knows how to set goals and be persistent! Perhaps we can learn from him!
Anyhow! This year began with a move for me from Manhattan, Kansas to Topeka, Kansas. So naturally, my life was chaos for a few months! I am missing Manhattan quite a bit and still love it, but I am getting settled and learning my way around and business stayed pretty study, so I am definitely blessed! I still take sessions and weddings in Manhattan as well as visit dear friends, so I plan to maintain that for 2017. It has been fun getting to explore new places and meet new people in Topeka as well.
All in all, it has been a busy, kinda crazy year for SZP, and not just because of photography as previously mentioned. But as usual, I have met many wonderful new people and witnessed many couples say their vows. It was such a pleasure working with all of you and I certainly hope to hear from you again.
One of my favorite things from 2016 was photographing various school programs for the new web design of the Manhattan Tech (MATC) website, which was a ton of fun and a little different than I normally get to do. I really love doing commercial/corporate work to include products, headshots, and real estate - commercial or private property.
One of my favorite things is still photographing female glamour/boudoir and making a woman feel as gorgeous as she should! If you haven't looked into it for you or your spouse yet, then you are missing out! It is such a fun experience!
This year, I look forward to expanding my high school senior portraits, so I hope to hear from those of you graduating in 2018 in the months ahead! I will share a few from some of this years Class of 2017 below.
Whether it is portrait event, commercial, or real estate, I'd love to hear from you this year, and wish you all many wonderful blessings in the year ahead! And try to stay warm.. as I cannot! =)
God Bless,
Stacey Zoll

Beautiful Wildcat Wedding in Manhattan , Kansas | Professional Topeka Photographer Stacey Zoll
The day began at Hair Experts in Manhattan for the women as they drank mimosas in personalized robes out of their personalized wine glasses, while getting their hair and makeup done. They all looked beautiful! The weather was overcast and gorgeous, which was a HUGE blessing for an August wedding! The couple did a First Look prior to the ceremony in the gardens outside, followed by family and wedding party photos. The wedding colors were, of course, shades of purple, including the Kansas State purple.
Their wedding ceremony was a traditional Catholic mass and included a family unity sand ceremony where the Bride's (and now Groom's!) three children, and their baby son, poured shades of purple sand in a Family sand decoration. After the ceremony, the Bridal Party was escorted around town in the MHK Trolley for some Bridal photos, and stopped at Kite's Bar for a celebratory shot. From there, we headed back to the Wareham Opera House, where the Bridal Party made their grand entrance. Once they were onstage, a special guest, Willie the Wildcat, made his own grand entrance, of course to be followed by the Wabash Cannonball and photos with the guests. A bit later, the Maids of Honor and Best Men, Father of the Bride, and Groom shared heartfelt, hilarious, speeches that had many people laughing and crying at the same time. It was very touching and I am sure holds many dear memories for the couple.
Lyndsey & Logan, it was an honor to share in your commitment to one another and to the Lord. I pray that your kids will learn the meaning of true love and a Christ-centered marriage through your love and adoration for Jesus and one another. Thank you for letting me be a part of your day, and may your family be blessed always.

Wedding Fun at Maceli's Lawrence | Topeka, Kansas Photographer Stacey Zoll Photography
The ceremony and reception were both held at Maceli's, displaying colors and party favors of orange and blue. The flowers by Owen's Flower Shop were gorgeous, and the family and guests were a real pleasure to be around. The flower girl and ring bearer received candy from the groom for making it down the aisle, the Bride made it through the vows without laughing too much (perhaps the center of attention is not her absolute favorite thing, haha), and they, literally, danced their way back down the aisle after being announced as husband & wife.
Their first dance had a choreographed opening with an unexpected twist, their wedding cake was laquered powdered-donuts (don't worry..it was a decoration only!), because they actually exchanged famous Manhattan, Kansas Varsity Donuts in lieu of the traditional cake-cutting. The toasts given by family, friends and the Groom were awesome and had everyone laughing as well! (By the way, I look forward to an invite to that New Year's Eve party!). All in all, it was just a great day. So check out some of the images below and then head over to their personal photo gallery on the SZP website to see more!
Thank you SO much to you both for allowing me to photograph your day! I wish you all the very best as you start your next chapter. You will be missed in Kansas I'm sure but I hope your new life is more than you thought it would be, and I pray God blesses your marriage always!
