Maggie & Matt- Married! Part II
Maggie and Matt had an absolutely beautiful reception at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. When we arrived we had a little bit of time for pictures in the gardens, and once we let the wedding party go off to the cocktail hour and the couple had some time to be alone, they started cuddling and laughing and being generally adorable together. These were some of my favorite shots of the day! Monsanto...

Maggie & Matt- Married! Part I
On April 21st I had the great pleasure of being with Matt and Maggie on their wedding day. I love this couple- they are both so sweet and warm, and when they are together it’s like happiness and love just radiates off of them (no really, it’s contagious). I had such a good time doing their wintery downtown engagement session that I was very excited for their big day! We had the most...

Stephanie & David- Engaged!
I was really excited for Stephanie and David’s engagement session, first of all, because Stephanie was really excited about it, which was very obvious in every email she sent me. :) I was also excited because we were doing the session at the Laumeier Sculpture Park, an awesome park in St. Louis that I had actually never shot at before. New locations always get me super excited, and these...

The Beseau Family
Big family sessions can sometime be a handful, but the Beseau family’s session was all fun from start to finish. Within minutes of introducing myself to everyone and starting to arrange people for a group picture, everyone was laughing and cracking each other up. I love seeing a family that laughs together… and that certainly was the impression I got of this family… warmth, love,...

Mark & Jay- Engaged!!
Mark and Jay live in California, so their engagement session was my first chance to meet them in person, which always makes me super excited! Even though they don’t live here now, they have St. Louis in common, since Mark grew up in the Lou and Jay went to college here. Interestingly, they met in Cali, not through any St. Louis connection, but I’m glad they agreed to St. Louis being...

It is a detail image from the beautiful decor of Liz & Bill’s wedding, which featured so many gorgeous yellow details!

Tracy & Jon- Married- Part II
After a quick stop at Ted Drewes for a delicious frozen yogurt break, we headed downtown to the Arch Grounds and a nearby industrial area with some cool colors and textures for some additional pictures with the couple and wedding party before heading to the Top of the Met (the tallest building in the city, not including the Arch). It’s a beautiful venue with a fabulous view of the Arch, the...
