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!  

Jake + Katie // Shaw Nature Reserve // Engagement Photography

Well, that was officially the busiest October I've ever had!  With shoots almost every day & lots of meetings, emails, & editing between them, it literally went by in a blink.  BUT it's always worth it when I have happy clients & oodles of lovely images to show for it.  :)  

Jake & Katie were my 1st of 7 engagement sessions I had last month alone & it was a great kick-off to the fall season!  I had never been out to Shaw Nature Reserve & since they live over there & love it I trusted them that it would be great - I had no idea of how amazing this place was!  I could have done a whole session in the first little portion we visited, but then we proceeded to hike through the woods on a walking path, over a creek & up to a lookout, just making it back to the entrance before dark.  I'm in love with this place!  I wish it was closer to me so I could go all the time...but I'm sure I'll be heading back much more now that I got a little taste of it's greatness!

I had so much fun hiking through this beautiful place with you Jake & Katie - thank you for introducing it to me!  AND I'm so excited about your wedding - 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!
