Sneak Peak

I usually just put up 1-3 images for the sneak peak since speed is the key...

but since I'm already a day or two behind on getting the sneak peak up,

I decided to put up a few extra.

Get ready for a really long post with lots of pics when this wedding is fully edited.

Meena & Steve, I'll be sending you the slideshow of the wedding highlights very soon.

My fav!!! Isn't she GORGEOUS!!!!!


Love everything about this shot!


Can you tell I like emphasizing opposites?Beautiful Woman.Gorgeous Dress.On a dock?Yeah, I LOVE emphasizing opposites. It just makes the woman and the dress that much more obviously beautiful.


Something a little more traditionally beautiful.


Stunning!


I'm DEEP in wedding season and up to my neck in editing and shooting sooooo ... I might be slower than usual on getting blog posts up and my response times might be somewhat slower if you are trying to contact me. I should really look into getting an office assistant/intern. *

Engaged: Courtney + Chuck - Lafayette Square, St. Louis, MO

Courtney and Chuck met me down at Lafayette Square for their engagement session. We had a fantastic time!!! I think Lafayette Square is THE place to go for a romantic evening out. I'd say it's one of the top places to go for a date.....what with all of the restaurants there all within a few blocks of each other.

This was our first time to meet in person

and I felt like I was meeting two old friends to just hang out.

My fav! Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!!


Love the urban feel of this shot.


Aren't they adorable?


Oooh....so dramatic!


Courtney and Chuk are getting married here in St. Louis but they don't live here so we had to make sure to get something that was specific to St. Louis.


I love this series. Chuck picked her up and spun her around (by my crazy request). I love Courtney's response!





They're so cool.


Just lovely.


LOVE LOVE LOVE her expression.

Married: Rachel + Jeff - Hearth Room in Webster Groves

Rachel + Jeff had such an intimate, romantic wedding.

I LOVE when my couples do a First Look. A First Look is when the bride and groom agree to see each other BEFORE the ceremony. I think it's pretty awesome. They get some quiet time together when they can share a few moments without the hustle and bustle.....and it's just them. A chance to relax and take a deep breath between the craziness of wedding day activity and refocus back on the importance of this moment. I think it's pretty special.



Rachel and Jeff thought this would be the perfect time to exchange their wedding gifts for each other too.





The ceremony was outside. The weather was gorgeous!


Their daughter Ellenore. She practically stole the show....she was just sooo adorable.


I think Ellie was pretty happy with the whole event.

This shot below is my FAVORITE.


They are such a darling family!!!!






What a handsome group of guys!Here's another great idea . . . the guys wore suits instead of tuxes (and they get to keep the suits).


I LOVED her hair. It fit her style and personality PERFECTLY!!!!


Rachel has an amazing smile...it's very bright and infectious. You see her smile and it wants to make you smile.


Aren't they adorable?!?!





The lovely ladies.

I was blown away by the fact that Rachel MADE her own wedding cake.





Since they had a dessert reception, there was a cheesecake for each of the tables. These served as the centerpieces. And get this....she MADE ALL of the cheesecakes.












Doesn't that make your mouth water.
