A Short Engelken Wedding!

Paul & Becky Short

My niece married a delightful young man- Paul, over the Labor Day weekend. Usually this time of year is hot. The day was beautiful; could not have asked for a better day! The celebration took place at Melvern Lake.

Of the weddings I have had the pleasure to photograph, I appreciate the groom NOT messing up the bride when it’s time for the cake table event. This in my opinion is not very nice. However- this one time has been an exception to my personal rule. Paul did smash cake into Becky’s face; but not bad.

The crowd cheered for him to eat the cake. AND he did!

Typically when I photograph this pose, it’s the bridesmaids who straighten out the train. Well the “ladies” were no where to be found. So I asked the men to assist. I just had to snap the image!

Engelken Family Reunion 2013

The Engelken Family Reunion 2013

August 31, 2013 was a fun filled day with eleven Engelken siblings. We met in Seneca, KS for food, games and chatter. Kevin and I along with our daughter and grand-daughter arrived rather early. We took a tour of the scenic town of Seneca. Should you ever pass through- the park is very interesting. The highlights are shown in the images below.

From the park, we went to the main street in town. Here are some images of what we saw during our downtown stroll.
