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!

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!

I love getting to celebrate with all of my amazing couples on their wedding day - there are so many beautiful, hilarious, emotional, & intimate moments all wrapped up in that one day & I love being able to bottle them all up in their wedding photos that they will cherish forever!
I've known Lauren for a long time now (she's my best friend's sister-in-law - remember their Engagement Session?) & when she asked me to capture her & Jeff's big day I was giddy! I knew it would be beautiful - but the amount of detail & thought that went into making their day extra special & fit just for them was more than I imagined, & I loved every minute of it!
Of course she had to get rose gold shoes to go with her rose gold rings.
& what are best friends for if not to share in the joy of one of the most important days of your life by jumping on the bed?!
Jeff, being a good sport & standing where I asked, put his tie on (perfectly, I might add) without a mirror...this was impressive to me!
Since Jeff & Lauren met at the Chase Park Plaza that's where they wanted to get ready & share their first look...just the two of them excitedly starting the first day of the rest of their lives together...it was perfect!
How gorgeous is this massive wedding party?!
I love that we were able to do all of their wedding party photos in a part of town that was special to Jeff & Lauren...& I love how perfect Lafayette Park fit in with the vibe of their wedding too...meant to be.
Look at all of these sweet, personal details! Lauren put a lot of time into planning all of this out & creating the details she wanted & it all came together perfectly! & Her dad actually made the birch candle holders!
This was my first time working at Palladium St. Louis & it was such a cool venue! It had all kinds of quirks & beautiful features...Everyone was really nice & easy to work with...& the food was amazing too! Bonus!
Yes, that's a bacon maple cupcake.
Can't you just tell how great these two are together? Every time I look at their images it makes me so happy they found each other!
Congratulations again Jeff & Lauren!
Thank you so much for inviting me to share in this perfectly beautiful day - here's to many more equally delightful memories still to come!
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!
They created their own awesome little photo booth with some balloons, face props, & a tablet with the camera set to a timer...such a fun & easy way to capture all of your guests having fun being goofy!
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!
Lauren + Jeff // St. Louis Engagement Photography
I am so excited to share this sweet engagement session with you! I have known Lauren for a few years now - she's the sis-in-law of my best friend. I was thrilled when she contacted me to capture their wedding & the love between her & Jeff! Since Lafayette is a special place to the two of them, we decided to walk around searching out little bits of beauty to stop & savor along the way....I think it's sweet perfection! Enjoy!
They were not the ones to scratch that into the bridge, but it was something sweet Lauren wanted to include somehow...& I think it was fitting.
Just like this amazing bush we found that matches her wedding colors perfectly! How gorgeous is her rose gold ring?!
Isn't this like a scene from a movie?! I just love the LOVE in this beautiful place.
I'm so excited for you Lauren & Jeff - So glad you've found each other to love & laugh with forever!
