June 23rd, 2011-

Sometimes life and relationships just don’t go as planned. Sometimes, life just might give you two adorable little children BEFORE you get married. And as far as Michelle and Justin are concerned, that is just how it’s supposed to be :) I loved Michelle’s honesty in our initial email bantering and was so happy to meet her whole family at our photography consultation. They will be getting married next May and can’t wait to see the dress Michelle chooses!
She found this location and thought it would be perfect, given the 1-2 for their wedding date!


We just did a few shots with the kiddos before they were allowed to run around the City Garden fountains with Justin’s mom…good job guys!

I really do love the City Garden in the late afternoon…








Hope you guys enjoyed your portrait session! Looking forward to your wedding next year!

June 22nd, 2011–

I met Marcy back around the holiday season randomly at Stir Crazy, of all places! She was dining with a past bride, Julie, and told me she may just need a wedding photographer very soon :) A few months later she contacted me to let me know she’d be having a winter wedding this year! I’m glad I was open for their date!

We started out hanging with Marcy and Joel’s pups. They weren’t quite sure what was going on but seemed to enjoy the cuddle time :)
And then we headed over to the park…where we were bombed by cicadas. Heard a few shrieks out of Marcy…

We walked down a path and this gorgeous spot of sunlight just “appeared”. It was perfect…


Brides, if you want light like this, it’s going to occur about an hour or 45 minutes before sunset!
Racquetball court? Yep, makes for some sweet shots.






Marcy and Joel, see you in December!!

Kristy and Scott will be getting married this Labor Day weekend (on a Sunday, my first double-header wedding weekend!) They are opting to have a small, intimate ceremony/reception at a new location, the City Cottage.
We started off at Kristy’s super-cute home.

A hammock! everyone should have a back porch like this.


How can you resist those eyes? Can you see his eyes? :)

Then we headed down to Kirkwood…I love the train station and I’m always amazed that it’s a real, working station.


The light in this alley is always perfect.




I’ve passed these chairs before…but I guess I never paid much attention to them! Aren’t these fun?


Thanks guys! See you in September!
June 5th, 2011- Lauren and Matt are getting married Labor Day weekend! We met up a few weeks ago under the arch after much debate about the weather. It ended up being an evening filled with gorgeous light…so glad we decided to go through with it!
Every time I shoot at the Arch, I notice things “written” onto it while editing. I can make out “Frank “loves” …..”



There aren’t enough fun poofy cloud days!








Love this! Matt working his serious face.

I’m a firm believer that if the light is pretty enough, you can shoot anywhere.
See you guys in September!
Jess and Garrett will be getting married this September (actually on my anniversary weekend!) We met at the City Garden last weekend and just beat the rain!
My brides just love pink shoes!





Love this view of the city…
Favorite!








See you guys in a few months! It’ll be here before you know it :)
