Tiffany & Bryan :: Happily Married

Tiffay and Bryan had a wonderful wedding and boat reception last month! Their family and friends were some of the most fun people at a wedding ever! This couple was easy to work with and I enjoyed every minute of their wedding day. I had an absolutely wonderful time during their entire wedding day. Tiffany and Bryan, thank you for letting me share in your most special day.

Enjoy the pictures....there are a lot!

Some fun details of the day...I think my favorite shot is the perspective shot of the guest book.


Tiffany's maid of honor, Katie, was amazing!!! (I actually met with Katie to book this wedding because Tiffany lives in Arizona.)


Talk about a handsome groom to work with! Bryan was such a delight to work with. He was easy going and him and his groomsmen were up for anything...I LOVE THAT!


Speaking of those fun guys...here is a close up of some of them.


What a gorgeous bride. Tiffany was flawless!


My awesome assistant (and sister), Jessie, shot this great shot of Tiffany being walked down the isle with her dad and step-dad.


This church was amazing...




One of my favorites of the day...


Their reception location was on water, on this great river boat.


I forgot to ask this couple whether or not they had taken dance lessons or not, but I seriously think they did, because they were amazing and just right on with their dance moves!!!


Priceless. As I shot this picture I heard a lady behind me say, "That picture is going to be priceless," and I really think it is...look at how sweet Tiffany and her dad are together!




Jessie got this great balcony shot of Bryan getting the garter.




Tiffany and Bryan, I wish you lived in STL so I could take pictures of you two throughout the coming years!!! Have an amazing life together in Arizona!!!!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!

Ben & Amy's Engagement Session at MIZZOU!!!!

MIZZOU RAH!!!! Ben and Amy met at Mizzou so doing their engagement session anywhere else would just be wrong. LOL . So I traveled to good ole' Columbia, MO, and the whole drive there I was gitty! This was partly due to how excited I was about shooting in a totally new location with an amazing couple and honestly, partly because my brother, Bobby, goes to Mizzou and I was going to get to hang out with him, too!

Well, the session was awesome! Ben and Amy have a love that is so refreshing! I called my husband on the way home and was just soooo excited about the session because of how comfortable and wonderful Ben and Amy's love was for each other. I was on cloud 9 driving back home! Needless to say, Amy and Ben are perfect for one another...I cannot wait till their June wedding, their chemistry is off the charts!!! ENJOY!

Go tigers!!! (And an awesome kiss, too!)




This was such a fun shot!! There were THOUSANDS of people on campus on the Saturday of their engagement session for something to do with music. CRAZY! So, a lot of people became part of this fun shot. I love how they are in their own world!




Chipotle is very special to Ben and Amy because they eat there a lot together!! So, we had to get a few fun pictures outside of Chipotle!...it was hard not to go in and grab a bite! WINK!


Love this picture! Amy is a great model!


Bobby's picture! Bobby was my awesome assistant on this engagement session! He grabbed this great picture! Bobby, you are the best, thanks!!!




This was totally candid! LOVE IT! Look at the LOVE! Priceless!




The Columns at Mizzou!!!


Gorgeous couple!!!!!! (Inside and out, they are just both amazing!)


This picture might just be my FAVORITE of the day for a couple reasons.
1. I love their natural expressions! They are precious together!
2. I love how she has to be up on her toes to be close to him!
3. The background walk-through has a cool story. It is a QUIET area! You aren't supposed to talk in the walk through or you will fail your next test. LOL Bobby did it though, shocking, and didn't fail...but still a fun story!






And here is my awesome assisant and brother, Bobby! Thanks bro, I am glad I got to hang out with you on this session!

Wedding Season 2009 begins with JODI AND DONNIE!

Jodi and I actually attended First Evangelical Free Church together in high school, although, we never really met. So I 'officially' met her at Bread Co to discuss her wedding day details and was super excited to shoot her wedding because she was just so sweet. It was such a blessing to be their photographer and share with them their special day.

Enjoy their beautiful April wedding...it was my first wedding in 2009 and it got me super stoked for all my 2009 couples!!!

Fun details of this wedding. My favorite part of the details was a tag on her wedding dress that said "I am delicate."


Getting ready


The beautiful girls! (I actually knew one of the bridesmaids, Lizzie! YEAH! It was awesome to catch up with her!)


Gorgeous bride!...Loved the lighting of this awesome window.


Another fun thing about this wedding was that the wedding was at E-Free, a church I went to in high school and college....plus it is an awesome church to get married in.


This was one of my favorite parts of the reception...Jodi was soooo danty about the cake.




FAV OF THE DAY: This is what a love shooting, a candid, intimate moment between a bride and groom. Look at how much they are in love...and they are having a blast!






(This was a close second favorite...this is my favorite close-up.)


One word: gorgeous!!!




Congrats Jodi and Donnie. I had an amazing time sharing in your wedding day!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Happy Mother's Day! I wanted to take this moment and thank my mom and mom-in-law for being the best! They truly are two incredible women whom I love dearly! I cannot imagine my life without them. They truly are a blessing to me each day!

Here is my incredible mother. She is my best girl friend. We love getting together whenever possible. I love you, Mom. (Jadyn 15 months)

Here is my wonderful mom-in-law. She and I have an amazing relationship, we are so much alike and we love to laugh with one another. (Jadyn 25 months)

This is my sweet daughter and my first picture...I AM NOW A MOM. It was the most incredible moment. I never knew I could love a little baby so much. (Jadyn just minutes old)


Jadyn and I on her first birthday. The year was amazing, but overall, I could not believe it was over! My baby was one in a blink of an eye.


This is a more recent picture...I cannot believe I have been a mom for 2 years now. Thanks, Jadyn, for making me a mom...it is the biggest blessing! I love you, Jada-Boo.


SOON TO COME: Two weddings and two engagement session. My wedding season started in April and I am excited to preview those pictures soon....keep checking back for updates.
