Abby + Brad // Lafayette Park, St. Louis Engagement Photography

Yet another beautiful engagement session!  I'm so excited to be a part of Abby & Brad's wedding this November!  I have already had the privilege of capturing both of her sister's weddings (you may recognize her from a few images in Caty + Randy's Wedding I blogged recently) & each one has been so beautiful & so much fun - I know this one will be just as wonderful! These two are so sweet together & I had a blast romping around the park with them, trying a few new things (notice the slightly editorial images with the chair - which they totally rocked by the way), & capturing the love they share.  

Can't wait to celebrate & capture your big day in a few weeks Abby & Brad!  

Madeline & Tony // Rustic, Rainy, Romantic St. Louis Engagement Photography

I am so in love with this engagement session & I'm so excited to finally be sharing it with you!
 
These two have very different schedules & of course after we found a time that worked for all of us a huge storm came through...but Madeline wasn't concerned about it at all & wanted to proceed with the session anyway & I'm so glad we did!  The rain only lasted about the first hour of the session & then we had these amazing rich colors & an abandoned wet park all to ourselves - it felt kinda magical!  Plus these two love birds are so incredibly sweet together - which you'll notice right away when you look at their images - making my job very easy. 

I hope you enjoy this little look into our adventure together on this rainy spring day!

What girl doesn't love dancing in the rain with the love of her life?

See what I mean?  Kinda magical.

I am so excited about your wedding this November Madeline & Tony...I know it is going to be even more beautiful & magical than I'm imagining it to be.

Michelle + Criag // Creve Coeur Lake Park Engagement Photography

Oh these two...I'm so excited about their wedding tomorrow!  
We had so much fun romping around the park together for some sweet, natural, laid-back images of them last fall...& I know their wedding will be just as fun!  

Craig & Michelle like to hike & mountain climb together.  When they reach a certain point they take a photo saying where they are & how high...when they set up for their picture on Mt of the Holy Cross Craig's sign said something a little different than usual & Michelle didn't even realize it right away.  
How fun & creative is that?  & He made those signs!

It's always fun when the boys have a photo idea that turns out adorable (below).

Danielle + Chris // Meramec Springs, MO // Engagement Photography

I am having so much fun re-visiting all of the lovely engagement sessions I got to do last fall!  So many sweet & fun couples...& so many gorgeous views too!  

Danielle & Chris wanted to visit Meramec Springs for their fall session & I'd say we timed it just right!  I had never been there before, so I was totally oooing & aahhhing the whole time because it was just so perfect, peaceful, & breathtaking!  I'm so glad they forced me to get out there & explore yet another new & wonderful place in Missouri...I wish it was closer to home, I'd be over there all the time!
  I hope you enjoy our sweet little adventure through the park!

I am so excited about your wedding this summer guys - I know it is going to be packed with beautiful details...accompanied by lots of love & laughter too of course!

Caty + Randy // Lafayette Park // St. Louis Engagement Photography

Are you ready for another beautiful, fall engagement session?  I'm sorry I didn't post all of these last fall, but I was so crazy busy!  haha  But, I kinda love having so many sweet sessions to share with you in these drab winter months.  :)  I had the privilege of capturing Caty's sister's wedding in 2013 & now I get to celebrate & capture Caty & Randy's wedding this spring AND her little sister's wedding this coming fall!  I am so excited to have the opportunity to capture so many special moments for all of them - it really is such an honor!

I can't wait for your beautiful spring wedding guys - it will be here before we know it!

Nitu + Joe // Creve Coeur Lake Engagement Photography

I'm glad I still have so many sweet, fun, & colorful sessions to share with y'all during these quiet winter months!  
How about another fun Engagement Session from the fall?!  These two are so stinking adorable!  You can tell how in love with each other they are by spending just a few minutes with them.  Nitu dabbles in photography, so she understands how important that part of their wedding day is & she was also very aware of her body language during our time together - which helped make their session even more relaxed & darling!  I hope you enjoy these!

Aren't they so sweet??!!

I'm looking forward to your Klondike Park ceremony this September guys!!

Theresa & Frank // St. Charles Engagement Photography

I had so much fun hanging out with Theresa & Frank earlier this fall...you'll probably be able to tell once you look through these that I was laughing the whole time we were together (& couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was editing their images too).  Theresa & I actually went to high school together - even though we haven't spoken in years (she joined the Army & lives in Italy now!) it was so great to catch up & laugh together over some coffee with her & her future hubby!  They were only in town for the weekend, so we tried to keep this session short & simple, but I'm so happy with all the wonderfully relaxed & sweet images we were able to get in that short time.  I hope you enjoy them too!

Ryan + Taylor // Oak Knoll Park // St. Louis Engagement Photography

These two are so giddy & in love with each other it just makes your heart bubble over!

I have had the delightful pleasure of photographing Taylor & her family for many years now & was so excited when she & Ryan asked me to capture their wedding next year.  It's always fun to get to celebrate lots of different occasions with my clients (in this case: family photos, her senior photos, her sister's engagement, wedding, & baby girl's photos, etc.)...It's fun to know so many people at this kind of wedding & have lots of goodbye hugs to share at the end of the day.  
I can't wait to celebrate with all of them!

For now, I'd like to share the quickie engagement session we did on a rainy afternoon earlier this fall...enjoy!
