I LOVE a good wintery engagement session! You guys it was cold. Like snow on the ground cold. And Bre totally pulled off strappy sandals and a gorgeous berry toned backless gown. How fun is that?! Seriously though, those poor little toes. Elliott was a pro at squeezing her in close to keep her warm. […]

I am over the top excited about this wedding in just a few short weeks! I was talking with Samantha at the Four Seasons and we both agreed, sweetest couple ever. Our first wedding of 2019 is going to be awesome! In case you are wondering, why a pumpkin? Jacob proposed to Laura in the […]

Finally sharing all of the fun fall engagement sessions over here! Next year Nikki and Mike are getting married at one of my favorite St. Louis churches, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in our very own Central West End! I am partial because one of my very best friends was married there. And we always […]

Jess and Nick win the title of “worst weather for an engagement session” this year, but I think that we all still pulled it off! They live in Chicago, so our dates were limited and Jess had her heart set on some fall color. So we went for it! As the impending storm rolled in, […]

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 […]

Ok so quick truth. I 100% depend on Meredith to help me narrow down my images for blog posts. I usually give her like 200 – 250 favorites and she is SUPPOSED to be more judgemental to get it down to a reasonable number for me. Mer, I love you, but you failed on 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 […]

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 […]
