SO. MUCH. COLOR. And we are here for it! It has been so fun getting know Abby and Matt and their sweet doggie Max. I have a pretty major soft spot for my Chicago couples who fly me up for engagement photos. We get to hang out, sometimes I get to see their homes, from […]

Life is weird right now. I really couldn’t think of any other way to start typing. It would be strange to post my usual wedding intro and not acknowledge that fact, and yet I feel like I want to give you an escape into this beautiful wedding wonderland without hindrance. I’ve always thought of photographs […]

Laney and Kyle got married in Red Bud, IL on one of the foggiest, mistiest wedding days I have ever experienced! It was raining on and off, but the rolling fog in the outdoor photos almost made it challenging to focus at times; the videographers shot a few scenes with a drone and it only […]

Smita and Raj got married on a lovely fall day at the always gorgeous Marriott Grand.

Love, love LOVE days that mix together cultures and traditions! Alice and Kent had not one but two ceremonies. A traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony at the Missouri Athletic Club followed by a Christian wedding ceremony Christ Church Cathedral in downtown St. Louis, MO. And it is all stunning! Let me talk you through this one…starting […]

I hope that everyone had a fantastic Halloween! So much fun ahead as we move into holiday season. However, since our editing process over here is pretty extensive, I’m going to be giving you a few more summer flashbacks as the leaves fall from the trees. If you long for lush green fields, picnics in […]

Showering is amazing. Last night I returned from a family camping trip and it’s astonishing how luxurious my house suddenly feels. For the record, it doesn’t usually. Mostly what I notice are all of the things I want to update, change, buy, etc to give it that designer feel I love and crave. I was […]
