Lexi and Quinton say their I DOs - Brumage Wedding - Liquid Art Winery, Manhattan, Kansas



 We really enjoyed watching Lexi and Quinton tie the knot at Liquid Art Winery in Manhattan!  From the rose gold decor to the breathtaking scenery, this was a great venue to watch them marry.  The rain was heavy in the morning, but a quick change in plans brought the ceremony inside and the tears, smiles, and “I do” moment was very special. One of the most heart warming parts of the day was watching Lexi's dad give his toast. It was a tearful display of love. But he expressed how much he loved and respected Quinton and "if he had to give her away to anyone, he was glad it was him". That was very precious in my eyes. I am so thankful that we got to be a part of this day. It was beautiful. One we won't ever forget. We hope you enjoy!

John and April's beautiful day! Incredible Wedding Celebration at Liquid Art Winery - Manhattan, KS

Image
John and April’s wedding at Liquid Art Winery was something special from start to finish. Set against rolling hills and the vineyard, the whole day had this calm, beautiful feel to it. It was cloudy in the best way—soft light, perfect for photos, and just an all-around ideal day for a wedding. Then right at the end of the night, the sun came out and gave us the most gorgeous golden light to wrap everything up. What stood out most was just how loved John and April are. You could feel it in every moment—friends and family showing up big for them, celebrating them, and surrounding them with so much support. Every detail of the day was dialed in. The food was incredible—brisket, salad, veggies—all so good. They even brought in local small businesses for cookies and ice cream, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. The venue itself is phenomenal, and the DJ brought so much energy that the whole place stayed alive all night. And April—she had two dresses! Her ceremony dress was absolu...

Interview with Ellie Sowers - Santa Fe Trail Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
I was really excited to photograph Ellie for her senior photos because I’ve had the chance to work with her many times over the years. She’s always been so natural in front of the camera, and this session was no different. We shot at a beautiful location that had a little bit of everything—pond, tall grass, wooded areas, a basketball court, and even an awesome swing with a view. Every outfit she wore fit her perfectly and photographed so well. She made the whole session easy and fun, and before we knew it, the time had flown by. It was also really great having her family there with us. You can tell they’re a close, supportive group, and that energy always shows through in photos. Ellie has such a kind, confident presence, and it was fun getting to capture that during such an important season of her life. I’m really happy with how everything turned out and excited for her as she heads into her senior year. I’m thankful I got to be part of it. T.H. P.: What are your favorite classes th...

Banks's newborn session - Interview with mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Banks was seriously such a cute little guy to photograph. I was honestly shocked at how much hair he had. His blonde hair almost looked like a tiny little wig, and it made him even more adorable. He gave me a couple little smiles during the session, but honestly, what stood out most were all the expressions he made. He was so animated the whole time, and every once in a while he would let out this loud cry that was actually kind of hilarious and adorable at the same time. Normally I’m not trying to photograph babies crying, but he was so expressive that it made for some really fun photos. We also got some really beautiful images of Banks with his mom, and those are some of my favorites from the session. You could just feel how much love was there. Overall, his session turned out so good, and I had such a fun time photographing him. I ended up with so many great images, and I’m super excited about how everything came together. Here’s a few of our favorites from his newborn session. T.H....

Interview with Brynna Perry - Santa Fe Trail Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
From the very beginning of Brynna’s senior session, I knew it was going to be a good one. She has the kind of personality that just makes people smile. Brynna is funny, confident, smart, and completely herself, and once she started relaxing in front of the camera, her hilarious side really came out. She was making the funniest faces and keeping us laughing the entire session. She also has one of the best smiles, and the moment I got that first real laugh out of her, I knew we were going to create some amazing photos together. Spending the afternoon with Brynna and her mom was such a fun way to kick off our Class of 2027 senior season. We started the session at an old barn in Scranton before heading downtown to Lyndon, where Brynna wore the perfect dress for the location and vibe. Everything just came together so naturally. After that, we made our way to Melvern, stopping at an old bridge surrounded by beautiful trees and sky before ending at Melvern Lake for sunset. The evening could n...

Image
Kaitlyn’s senior session was such a fun one to photograph from start to finish. We shot her session at Ted Ensley Gardens, and it was the perfect backdrop for her personality. She has a really great smile and such a fun, easygoing energy that made the whole shoot feel relaxed and natural. Her family came along too, and they added to the experience in the best way — lots of laughs, encouragement, and good moments in between shots. We also spent time at Shawnee Lake, and it couldn’t have looked better. Everything was vibrant and green, and the skies were really colorful and full of life that day. Kaitlyn was completely down to try anything we suggested, which made it easy to get a wide variety of photos. Looking back through her gallery, you can really see all the happy, genuine emotions we were able to capture throughout her session.    T.H. P.: What are your plans after high school?

Tobias's newborn session - Interview with Mom - Topeka's Best Newborn Photographers

Image
Tobias was seriously one of the sweetest little babies we’ve ever photographed. He had the cutest little face and the calmest personality, which made the whole session feel really special. Mom and dad were there soaking in every moment, and Grandma came along too—completely in love with her new grandson. You could just feel how much this little guy is already adored. Tobias was a perfect little model the entire time, giving us the sweetest smirks and tiny expressions that made it hard to put the camera down. They also brought along his older cousin, who’s still just a toddler, and getting photos of the two of them together was such a fun part of the session. Those moments were full of personality and so much cuteness. One of the highlights was incorporating a saddle that dad brought—it added such a unique and personal touch, and those images turned out to be some of our favorites. This session was full of love, meaningful details, and so many moments this family will treasure for year...

Bre and Trent Engagement Session - Osage Osage County Fishing Lake - Topeka's Best Engagement and Wedding Photographers

Image
Bree and Trent’s engagement session was just one of those shoots that reminds me why I love what I do. We started things off in the studio, keeping it clean and simple with a seamless backdrop so all the focus stayed right on them. Right away, you could see how natural they are together—lots of laughs, easy smiles, and just that genuine connection you can’t fake. After that, we headed out to Osage Lake near the studio, and man… we could not have asked for a better day. The skies were that perfect deep blue, the light was beautiful, and everything just came together. What I loved most about this session was how much personality we were able to pull out of both of them. They were playful, relaxed, and totally themselves, which always leads to the best photos. You can really see their chemistry in every shot, and that’s what makes these images feel so special. I’m honestly so excited to photograph their wedding—it’s going to be such a great day if this session was any indication. Bree an...

Interview with Xavier Cross - Southern Coffey County High - Kansas Top Senior Portrait Photographers

Image
My first impression of Xavier was how confident he seemed and how mature he seemed for his age. Sure he joked around and had a great sense of humor but he seemed very confident and sure of himself. Mom later told me he's like an old man. I can see it. He's a good guy, I can tell. He's been through a lot and I think that's helped cultivate him into the young man he is. It was an absolute pleasure photographing him and sincerely one of the best sessions I've photographed in a long time. I am so happy with the results. Very dramatic and I think they really showcase him well! T.H. Peterson: What are your plans after high school? Xavier: Work on the road/make money.  T.H. P.: What would your dream job be? Xavier: Be a hunting guide.  T.H. P.: What would people be surprised to learn about you? Xavier: I’m actually a chef (I make my own jerky and summer sausage) and that I’m one of the youngest  old men you’ll will ever meet. T.H. P.: What goals do you have set for yourse...

Brynn and Justin's Engagement Session - Gridley, KS - Kansas Top Wedding Photographers

Image
We started out on their property, and it was just incredible. Rolling fields, a classic Kansas sunset, and the kind of light you hope for every time. One of my favorite spots was this old wooden cross they had out in the field—it added such a meaningful, rustic touch. After that, we explored some abandoned buildings and then made our way to a farm nearby, which gave us even more variety. Everywhere we went just fit their vibe perfectly. We also got to include their little daughter, and she completely stole the show. So smiley, so expressive—just the cutest. The whole session felt easy and fun. Lots of laughs, some goofy moments, and just really good connection between them. You can tell how much they enjoy being together, and that always makes for the best photos. I’m really excited for their wedding after this one.   To book your own session, please call Tommy or Holly at 785.793.2492 or 785.213.0812 or email tommy@thpetersonphoto.com

Interview with Carson Horne - Lyndon High School Class of 2027 - Topeka's Best Senior Portraits

Image
Carson is a senior at Lynden High School, and we had a great time photographing him for his senior portraits. We started out on the football field at his school, where we took advantage of the familiar setting and got some strong, classic football portraits. Carson was easy to work with right from the start—relaxed, natural, and very photogenic. He made my job simple because he could just step in front of the camera and be himself. After that, we headed down the street to an old gas station area with classic cars and an old scoreboard that gave the session a really unique feel. It was the perfect backdrop for something a little different and added a lot of character to his gallery and took some really meaningful photos with his little brother, which turned out great. We also stopped at another nearby spot that gave us a lot of cool looks.  Carson is an easygoing, friendly senior who talked about enjoying coaching younger athletes, and it really showed—he comes across as grounded, ...
