Whew…long title for this blog post :) Rachel contacted me a few months ago inquiring about an anniversary/trash the dress session…I was super busy but this sounded like way too much fun! These two live in Chicago but were traveling through St. Louis on their way to Hermann to celebrate their first anniversary. Rachel wanted anniversary photos, and decided she may as well throw on her dress for a few fun shots as well! I’ll show you those later…but for now, here are their anniversary pics!

Whenever you meet with a couple you’ve never previously met…there can be some nervousness for the first few minutes…I usually start off with some easy, smile-at-the camera stuff…

And then literally 2 shots into the session…Rachel BROUGHT it with this photo. LOVE.

Again with those eyes! Some people really know how to connect to the camera through their eyes. It’s a good quality to have :)

Tomorrow night I’ll show you some from the Trash-the-Dress portion of the session! Until then…good night!
