Rachel & Brian Married | St. Louis Wedding Photographer

October 25th, 2011

Rachel & Brian’s wedding day at Riverbend Chapel in Washington was amazing. This is such a beautiful location and the weather that day could not have been more perfect all the way to the beautiful sunset over the river at the end of the day. Rachel was a gorgeous bride and the wedding party was so much fun! I am so happy I was able to be a part of the special day! I had a hard time narrowing down my favorite shots from the day, but here are a few.

 

I love that Rachel & her sister Sarah did the alterations to the dress themselves! You girls did such an amazing job!

You girls have grown into such beautiful women both inside and out – your mom would be so proud!

Mason had a great view for mom and dad’s first look before the ceremony.

Congratulations Rachel & Brian!

Megan & Alex Married | Hermann Wedding Photographer

October 20th, 2011

What a great time we had in Hermann for Megan & Alex’s wedding day! We met at the Spirit Hill Guest House where Megan and the girls were getting ready. The ceremony was held at St. George Catholic Church. After the beautiful ceremony we followed the party bus for some fun shots around Hermann before heading to the reception at the Festhalle. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

 

 

 

I wasn’t quite sure what these guys had planned for this shot so I just started shooting as they set up the pose.

 

Still not quite there.

Success!

This is one of my favorite shots because it was taken out on the overlook on the bridge where Alex proposed.

Congratulations Megan & Alex!

I met Mike & Amy last December while they were visiting St. Louis for the holidays. The currently live in Southern California, but planned their wedding in St. Louis to be near friends and family.

Circus Image Winner | St. Louis Photographer

September 29th, 2011

I’m so excited my image from the circus titled “Just Missed” won first place in the photojournalism category at St. Louis Camera Club last night. I took the image at the Moolah Shrine Circus in St. Charles. Wow, and I just realized I posted to my blog two days in a row – maybe I’m finally about to get caught up from vacation! Now, back to editing.

Our Trip To Yellowstone | Travel and nature photography

September 28th, 2011

Bob and I just got back from an amazing trip to Yellowstone with Austin Lehman Adventures.  I can’t imagine a better way to see Yellowstone for the first time. We were able to relax and really enjoy ourselves thanks to our wonderful tour guides Jeff & Tatiana! They took such great care of us and were full of surprises! We’ll always remember the fun we had and treasure the new friendships with others in our group. Everything was so beautiful some of these shots look fake, but I took them all except for a few when we were on the rafts. Here’s a video of some of my favorite images.

Bobby + Colleen | St. Louis Wedding Photographer

August 10th, 2011

Bobby & Colleen have been friends since middle school, but did not start dating until college. It’s easy to see they are not only very much in love, but also great friends! Their ceremony was in the beautiful Most Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Eureka. After the ceremony we braved the St. Louis summer heat and had a great time doing photos in Forest Park before heading to their reception at Moulin. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.

 

Congratulations Bobby & Colleen!

McAFee Family | O’Fallon Family Photographer

July 28th, 2011

I’ve known Brian since he was a kid playing football with our son Chad so he almost feels like one of my kids. He now has a sweetheart of a wife, Laura and two beautiful children Hagen & Addison. I loved being able to spend some time with them recently and welcome baby Addison. Congratulations to a wonderful family! Feel free to leave them a comment on the blog.

Hagen is very proud to be a big brother!

Amazing what a bribe from dad to go to McDonald’s will do for a smile!

Addison was determined to stay awake and not miss a moment of her first photo shoot, but we did get a few sleepy baby shots. She is just precious!

Congratulations McAFee Family!

Ashlynn & Bryen Wedding | St. Charles Wedding Photographer

June 30th, 2011

Being a part of Ashlynn & Bryen’s wedding day was such a pleasure! They are the sweetest couple and their love for each other is so obvious. The beautiful ceremony took place at the St. Charles Conservatory. We did a few photos in Old Town St. Charles immediately after the ceremony, but it was so ridiculously hot, they decided on an air conditioned limo ride. We traveled to New Town St. Charles and had a great time as the weather began to cool. We were able to finish with some shots at Boulevard Park just before the rain started and they headed off to their party with family & friends.

 

I love to turn around and see the look on the groom’s face as his beautiful bride walks down the aisle – makes my heart skip a beat!

Congratulations Ashlynn & Bryen!

Nv Dance Force | St. Charles Dance Photographer

June 29th, 2011

I always love working with the dancers at Nv Dance Force! Last year we sweltered in the heat at Forest Park, and this year we started out in the cold rain in Old Town St. Charles. But, no matter the weather, the dancers are troupers! We finished with some groups outside around the studio, set up in doors for a few days, and finally got some great stage shots at the Showcase on June 18. Here are a few of my favorites.
