Breelyn // St. Louis Senior Portrait Photography

I have a few Senior Portrait Sessions I've been wanting to share for way too long & since I reference some of these awesome locations to clients looking for unique locations I thought it was about time I blogged them for easy access.  ;)
This beauty is Breelyn - she wanted her session to be edgy & different - I think she was able to accomplish that perfectly!  I hope you enjoy scrolling through some of my favorites from her session!

Theresa + Hank // Piper Palm House // St. Louis Wedding Photography

I have so many weddings from this past year that I want/need to share - but it's crazy how hard it is for me to stop working on my current projects to put together blog posts!  So sorry about that!  I always say I'm going to do better, but let's be honest, I can't promise that.  haha  SO, for now I'll just share weddings & fun sessions as often as I can & hope that y'all enjoy the surprises they are when they come.

This gorgeous wedding was so much fun!  I went to high school with Theresa & was so excited when she contacted me (from Italy, where she was stationed) to capture this special day for her & Hank!  The two of them met while they were serving in the Army & have been through lots of amazing adventures together - it was so beautiful to see their families rally around them with so much love & support.

Theresa, Hank, & their families came from all over for this celebration because Theresa wanted to be married in the same beautiful little chapel where she had her 1st Communion.

Katie + Jake // The Franklin Room, Downtown St. Louis Wedding Photography

Hey!  Happy Wednesday everyone!  I am LOOOONG overdue for a blog post (or 20!).  haha  So, I'm going to try & spend the last bit of winter showing off some of the gorgeous, sweet, fun weddings that I got to be a part of in 2015 - I hope you enjoy them!

Do you remember Katie & Jake's amazing Shaw Nature Reserve Engagement Session?  I was giddy the whole time because it was just such a gorgeous place & because Katie & Jake were so much fun to romp around the park with.  Well, their wedding day was pure delight too!  From start to finish there was laughter, love, & of course lots of beautifully sweet moments too.

I love it when the  bride & groom exchange gifts to each other & I get to capture it - of course she wore the earrings & he wore the bacon socks.  ;)

I love shooting in this old part of Downtown St. Louis under the train bridges - I love mixing the old rustic stuff with the crisp, beauty of the new.

Sandy + JoJo // Windows on Washington, St. Louis Wedding Photography

This was such a sweet & special wedding for me to be a part of!  
Sandy & Jojo got engaged a few years ago & had me do some engagement photos for them, but also told me that they were going to wait about 3 years to get married.  I have to admit, I had so much fun doing their engagement session that I was kinda bummed that their wedding would be so far away...but alas, they decided they could't wait any longer (which of course, made me squeal a little with excitement when she told me they were getting married in November!).  Sandy wanted everything to be classic & beautiful with lots of pearls, diamonds, & lace - kind of a modern take on a classic Audrey Hepburn...she succeeded!  There were so many beautiful details throughout their day that fit her description perfectly!

These two are so adorable & so in love with each other.   You could really tell how wonderfully supported they were by all of the family & friends that surrounded them on this special day too.  What a wonderful treasure of strong, deep, sweet love God has blessed them with!

Mark + Brittney // Downtown St. Louis Engagement Photography

OOOOHHHHH!!!  
I'm so excited to share this sweet, city engagement session with y'all!

These two wanted something a little unique & I was thrilled to explore some pretty rockin parts of downtown St. Louis with them (can't wait to have another excuse to shoot there now!).  

Mark contacted me about capturing their big day in August & I was already booked & pretty bummed.  wah wah.  BUT!  They still wanted me to do their engagement photos for them!
& for that I say THANKS MARK & BRITTNEY!  I had so much fun with you two & love how your session came together!  May the adventures never end for you two!
