I don’t even know where to start on this wedding… it is gorgeous from start to finish & was SO. MUCH. FUN!! It culminates with a NYE party at the Ritz Carlton St. Louis complete with a beautiful couple, a confetti explosion, and a sparkler sendoff!  The lovely BasiaIt’s always good to start the day […]

Liz and Tom had  gorgeous cool (okay, cold) but sunny spring wedding and they won the magnolia tree photo lottery this year.  Those flowers are SO short lived, we almost never get to use them in photos, because they get rained on or frozen off the trees within a few days of blossoming, but not […]

I’ve known Easlyn’s step mom Lisa and her dad Joe for…oh…how long has it been? Probably like 10 years AT LEAST?! How is that possible?! Lisa is one of my favorite florists in St. Louis and even more important than that, an awesome friend. I love all of the gals on her whole team! I […]

The couple of times I had the opportunity to photograph Elise and Ben I had SO MUCH FUN! Ben may be the nicest guy ever and Elise just radiates happiness and joy. For the record this is not what I expect of all of my clients. So if this doesn’t sound like you don’t worry. […]

Welp, strap in folks, this is going to be a long one… sorry/not sorry! LOL  It was a wild and wonderful weekend in Kirksville, MO coordinated by the one and only Simcha’s Events!  A wonderful team of vendors and a wonderful couple made for a pretty spectacular combo, and thus a pretty awesome blog post! […]

I was lucky enough to get to know Katie and Jake pretty well before the wedding since they had me come up to Chicago to shoot their engagement session! We shot until Jake hit the breaking point we like to call “hangry” (a disorder I am quite familiar with as it is shared by both […]

This is a fun and happy way to wrap up the week! Mary and Kalyan literally light up around each other. When you see Kalyan you will just want to hug him. Meredith was helping me choose blog photos and actually said “This may be your happiest groom ever!” Totally spot on Mer! And Mary […]
