Shannon and Jeff are just plain fun to be around, and it makes me happy when those people find each other.  They found each other and reunited after many years on Facebook of all places… but hey… whatever works to find true love, am I right?!!!  Swoon worthy shoes kick off this post…

the lovely Shannon

and her Jeff

I had about ten different expressions to choose from of Jeff waiting for Shannon to walk up behind him…but this one was my favorite.  So sweet.

this little guy wasn’t too sure about me at first, but I won him over eventually… he got his eyes from Mom (clearly)

The Statler Ballroom at the always gorgeous Renaissance Grand Hotel… one of our favorite classic St. Louis venues

Surprise, it’s HANK!!

I love a good New Orleans style second line parade!

Fun.  Seriously.

a quick walk around the block for photos

veil wind is always welcome.

and then back for the party in the Crystal Ballroom– special shout out to my friends at Millennium Productions for wheeling my gear bag upstairs so I didn’t have to try to wheel it along on the parade and shoot at the same time… you’re the best!

Thanks Shannon & Jeff for a super fun parade and for letting me get my puppy fix on by petting Hank!  with love, kate
