Deanne + Matt: St. Louis Wedding

Matt and Deanne are a dream couple. They’re sweet, adorable, and absolutely natural in front of the camera. When we did their engagement session back in November, I just KNEW their wedding would be a great one, and they didn’t disappoint! All of their wedding details were absolutely beautiful, and it was really incredible to be part of an event for a family that is so close. The moments before Deanne walked down the aisle with her father were so special that it made me tear up. I absolutely love my job, and having the opportunity to document moments like those are a huge reason why.

Here’s part I of Deanne + Matt’s beautiful wedding day…

Don’t forget to come back to check out Part 2! It’s going to be a HUGE post.

See – told ya. FIESTY! One of my favorite moments of the day.

Faust Park rocks.

Who doesn’t love a candy buffet?

I love her expression…And her stance.

I love that she cried pretty much every time she saw her dad. Is that weird?

There was just so much love in this family. It was incredible to watch how close they are.

But then it was time to party! Dani is fierce! (A la America’s Next Top Model)

Katie + Jonathan: Engagment (St. Louis wedding photographers)

I’ve known Katie for a LONG time. Since high school. Which was…well…a long time ago. (That’s all I’ll say so I don’t have to give away my age!) We had several years of French classes together. We found each other on Facebook a while ago, and she began commenting on all my pictures. And I was SUPER excited when she emailed me and told me she was engaged, so she wanted to hire me to shoot her wedding! Love that Facebook. (I love when clients – or blog readers, for that matter – add me on FB, by the way! Click on Links at the top of my blog to take you to my FB page.)

So we headed out to Bee Tree Park and Tower Grove Park for their engagement shoot. And let me tell you, it was the most PERFECT day ever for a shoot. The colors of all the leaves were exquisite, the weather was just amazing, and the light at both parks was phenomenal. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Seriously. I have almost a year to wait for their wedding, but I’m thrilled they’ve chosen me to document it. Can’t wait!!!

And…on to the pics…

Out of the Office

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be out of town for a funeral. I will be returning tomorrow. I’ll be returning phone calls and emails on Friday.

Thanks for your understanding during this time as I’ve had to completely re-organize my schedule this week.
