Karen + Erik's engagement slideshow


I received a true visitor's welcome when I stopped in Salina last weekend for Karen and Erik's engagement photos. Karen had all her favorite Salina landmarks selected for our shoot, which included dinner at the iconic Cozy Inn, where burgers are served six to a sack sans wrapper. Erik doesn't like to go inside, so we ordered at a walk-up window and then they made themselves cozy on a nearby bench.


We were definitely hungry considering we had started the session at The Salina Journal, where Erik is a sports copy editor, nearly two hours before we made to The Cozy. Karen has deep newspaper roots, too, so spending time near the idle presses and in the warehouse was definitely fitting.

Our colleague, Heather Essian, will be joining me in September for Karen and Erik's wedding in Wichita. I'm definitely looking forward to it! Between now and then, CLICK HERE to see a brief slideshow of their engagement photos.
