This is the first wedding, since before COVID, that I am blogging BEFORE my couple gets their photos! The pandemic really knocked our world off its axis. We were a well oiled machine! Our workflow was set in stone, we all went into the studio nearly every day to work together, albums and prints were […]

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 […]

Brittany and Keith are both laid back and fun, which always makes for a good wedding day! Plus, they had the sweetest flower girl AND I got to pet their dogs again.  (They were at the engagement too!) See? Adorable.   A simple dress, made fabulous by it’s two interchangeable fabulous overlays (you’ll see the […]

Seriously, these two should really be featured in a Crest White Strips ad! My husband Steve walked by while I was editing and said, “Wow that bride has a really nice smile” and I said “Wait until you see them both together!” I have no idea if either of you had braces as children, but […]

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 […]

Stacy & Zac are an adorable, quirky & fun couple who laugh a lot and have so much fun together… all things that mean you found the right one!! ❤️ I love these gorgeous invitations from M Haley Designs… the intricate cutouts almost mimic the lacy embellishments on Stacy’s dress! SO PRETTY! Photobombed by this […]

I literally caught myself smiling back at my screen while I was scrolling through this final selection of blog images. I always do that before I start typing (not the smile but the scroll). I need to make sure I chose images that truly tell the story of the day just the way I remember […]

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 […]

Where to begin…I think I have to start with a few words to Joseph, our guest of honor for this wonderful day! Joseph, you are without a doubt one of the kindest young men I’ve gotten to work with. Throughout this busy day we were impressed by your thoughtfulness, whether with your younger brothers, family […]
