Chris & Rebekah: MARRIED!

Chris and Rebekah got married at the beautiful Covenant Presbyterian Church and celebrated their wedding at the incredible Frontenac Hilton. It was a wonderful day and I had a wonderful time shooting their wedding day. Enjoy some of my favs. of the day....also, keep coming back each day for daily posts...it is my busiest time of year and I have tons of great posts coming up!!!

Loved this ring shot. I loved the shadows from the window, creating a cool mood, and then how the light just shines right off the diamonds in the ring.


Getting ready!


Covenant was gorgeous! The lighting was incredible, the space and size was great, and I just loved this wide-angled shot of the ceremony.






FAV. of the day...these two are sooo in love!!






I love outdoor pictures, but I could have stayed in this spot ALL day!! Look at this gorgeous light!!!




Arriving at the wonderful Frontenac Hilton, I just had to grab a few outside, loved this one of Rebekah and Chris.




Loved this detail; they used Rebekah's mom and dad's cake cutting set.


Rebekah's dad's speech...


gets great reactions!


Rebekah and Chris, enjoy your life as a married couple!! CONGRATS!

Mike & Kathy: Engaged!!!

Before I head off to my wedding today, I wanted to leave you all with a wonderful engagement session of Mike and Kathy. I loved shooting their session and I think you are going to love their session, too. We had a blast at Tower Grove Park shooting their sweet session!

Despite showing up to THIS, full construction...


...we were able to get pictures like THIS during their session. (Gotta work it no matter what the location turns out to look like!)






LOVE it!! She looks like she is right where she belongs, in Mike's arms!




Kathy is just gorgeous and lights up around Mike. And after seeing them interact, I know why! They are perfect for each other and Mike is just such a gentleman! He treats Kathy like a princess. It was awesome seeing them interact.


I really like willow trees!


THE BLING!




On the way to Tower Grove, I saw this awesome area and begged my incredible couple to come and take some picture. They were great and agreed to come, love the pictures we got here!


FAV. of the day! Kathy and Mike, lovedddd working with you both, cannot wait till your big day!

Heather & Curtiss: A GORGEOUS wedding day!

Curtiss and Heather join my AWESOME bride and groom club for 2010! I have been sooo blessed this year to have some of the best couples in St. Louis. Curtiss and Heather were no exception, they rocked! I had a wonderful time shooting their wedding day, but my favorite part of the day was their picture together!!! So, here are some of my favs from the day:

Gorgeous church in Festus!


Love this angle on the dress...the dress was gorgeous and had some beautiful detailing at the top!


Getting ready!


BREATHTAKING!!! She is just GORGEOUS. I loved taking and looking through all the getting ready pictures of Heather!


Heather's mom helping her get on her shoes.


Curtiss and the guys!






The beautiful ladies!!!


The ceremony begins!


Curtiss was tearing up while saying his vows! Favorite picture from the wedding ceremony. (Is it weird that I just love when grooms tear up or cry on their wedding day.)


And now, my favorite pictures of the day, those with the couple only. I had a blast working with them both. We got some great shots and had a blast while shooting...check out just a FEW from the pictures of just the newly weds!!!


FAV. of the day!!! LOVE IT!


Getting some awesome sunflare!


Heather, you are just GORGEOUS!!!






The entire wedding party...rocking it out at the cool reception site sitting area.


Cake time....it got a little messy! LOL!


Their first dance as Mr. and Mrs.


Let the dancing begin....oh, and the sweet couple to the far left is another one of my wedding clients from last year!! It was great seeing them again and catching up with them!

Katie & Eric's Engagement Session

Katie and I met last year to discuss all the details of photography for her wedding day. I remember leaving Bread Co. thinking, "She is going to be a great bride to work with!" She is super sweet and talked so much about her sweet son and fiance. I finally got to meet Eric at their session and he was just as wonderful as Katie and Logan! We all met up on a beautiful day for their engagement session/family session...check out some of my favs!

Starting the session out with some amazing sun action!!!


The happy couple!


Katie has these gorgeous eyes that just light up when she is with Eric. I love this shot!




I looked into this little area and was like, "will you please get in that?" And they both were all for it! I love when people don't mind getting in a few weeds for a shot! Because, weeds/tall grass doesn't sound pretty, but it makes a picture look just AMAZING!!


This was a present from Eric, I just loved the detail of the heart!


Seriously, these two had some hot kisses in this session...it was hard to narrow down from all their images, but this was my favorite kissing pictures of their session. One word: HOT!


Now for sweet baby Logan to be added to the pictures. He would just light up around daddy and mommy!


What a great looking family!


FAV. of Logan...he was such a doll!!!


Love it....Katie just adores him!


LOVE sunset pictures!!!! What a way to end the day!


You three were soooo awesome to work with! I am definitely looking forward to your wedding day, Katie & Eric. CANNOT WAIT!
