Ahhhh…my first wedding of 2020. Who knows when the next one will be? For me, the uncertainty is the toughest thing to overcome in our new normal. It’s the thing that I believe is making it difficult for us to sleep and bringing our strange dreams to the surface. As we worry about the health […]

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 […]

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?

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 […]

Amanda + JP are pretty much the cutest…. their family and friends are full of laughs, plus there are swords!!!  We began the day at the Westin… Amanda has the *perfect* amount of wedding sparkle.  ✨ stunning even in the “before” photos! JP has a little ‘bling’ too! It was a beautiful, sunny day for […]

To all of the engaged couples out there in the world, I cannot stress this enough. It might rain on your wedding day. I know, you don’t want to hear it and I know you are hoping that it won’t happen to you, but the truth is that it really might. It’s not like a […]

OMG where do I even start… well, Happy Christmas Eve, I suppose!  I have been DYING to post this one, and it just couldn’t wait any longer.  This day is chocked full of fun, laughter, friends & family, and beautiful details.  Did I mention there’s fireworks?!  GAH!! We shall begin at the rehearsal dinner at […]
