Amber and Patrick got married in a beautiful, intimate ceremony in their parent’s home in the CWE (I walked from the studio!) with their closest family and friends. It was an evening full of music, food, flamenco, and fun! I *might* be jealous that I didn’t get to photograph the subsequent celebration in San Sebastien […]

We tend to do quite a few “formal” weddings over here. Every photographer has his or her style and types of clients that style tends to attract. And by formal I mean large, intricately carved ballrooms with crystal chandeliers and beautiful ceremonies enshrined in religious tradition and meaning. We love formal! But we also love […]

I have so been looking forward to sharing this one! I love that we were able to take advantage of this tiny little stream of sunlight that came out right before sunset. We have had so much snow and rain and gloominess that just seeing that warm, soft glow on my screen cheered me up […]

I love firsts. New experiences. I’m always on the look out for them. I have Wen Hui and Kevin to thank for my first wedding at Stone Soup Cottage! Man these two are awesome. Luckily for me they were attending another wedding I was shooting a few weeks later, so we were able to hang […]

So excited to blog what I consider to be one of the most underutilized event venues in St. Louis…The Old Post Office! The architecture is beautiful, and it has so much character with old post boxes, historic tile, sculptures, etc. Katie and Kevin picked an architectural gem for the ceremony as well! I don’t think […]

I am a strange mix of happy and sad as I write this post. The Singer women have been in my life for a long time! Deb and Sam were married in 2013 at the Muny. Still my only wedding ceremony and reception in that location to date! And then Ruth and Ari’s soiree at […]

Everything about this wedding is just LOVELY! The bold palette for the flowers and bridesmaid gowns was so fun and beautifully fit Ashley’s sweet and bubbly personality. Even the under layer of her exquisitely beaded gown was a hue of pink. A couple of years ago I had the honor of photographing Ashley’s brother’s wedding […]

Take two inside out gorgeous people, add on a beautiful (but warm!) sunny day in June, and then place them on the grounds of a lovely southern Illinois country club and it’s a sure recipe for amazing photos! Some of us (um, ME!) could never be this comfortable in front of the camera, so I’m […]

We’ve been so very excited about this wedding for the last, oh I don’t know…year or so?! Amy and Emily wanted their wedding to represent them both. Their favorite colors, creative natures, love of food, personal style…all of it. It was so fun to see their visions come to life at this love-filled summer wedding […]
