I love St. Louis. I was born here, and I’ve spent most of my life here. Being able to photograph couples starting their lives together in a place I love is always a joy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like discovering new places. Well this past weekend, I had that opportunity. I took a 2-hour drive out to small town of Centralia, IL, to photograph Dan + Heather’s beautiful wedding…
The moment I met Dan + Heather, I could tell they were meant for each other. They’re the kind of couple that everyone oooh’s and aaah’s over because they’re always kissing, hugging, cuddling. Especially during their engagement session a couple of months ago. Heather said she knew Dan was the one from the very beginning, and her parents told her he was a keeper.
It was a joy to capture the events of your wedding day, you two. I wish you all the best, and hopefully in the near future, you’ll be asking me to photograph those little ones you are already talking about.![]()


I was super lucky to have Paula, of Lightsource Photography, join me to photograph this wedding. She captured this last-minute hair haircut for me. Love it!
