Cedar Lake Cellars Wedding Photography: Jessica and Chris

Jessica and Chris were married at one of my favorite venues, Cedar Lake Farm in Wright City, which was recently expanded to become Cedar Lake Cellars. The place is incredably charming. Perfect for small to medium sized weddings and receptions....and wine tasting (for those not getting married and just looking for a place to visit).

One of my favorite all time getting ready images.


The handsome groom.


Jessica and Chris opted to do a First Look and I was soooo pleased. After letting them talk and just enjoy the moment, we were able to arrange for some intimate lovely photos of just them.

Some more of my favorites.































I LOVE that this little detail about their wedding....how romantic is that!?! A real bagpiper!!!!


Didn't I say they picked a really charming venue?!?!








Another really fun detail about their wedding was the unique choice of dessert table...all homemade pies instead of a cake.













Thank you to Jessica and Chris for allowing me to be a part of your wonderful day!_

St. Charles Engagement Photography: Audrey & Paul

I'm super excited to be introducing Audrey, Paul and Jaime (correct spelling?) to the blog.

This session was a combined engagement and family session. I'm so excited to be documenting the wedding of Audrey & Paul next Spring.

But first....take a look at all the cuteness I will get to photograph again.

This is my absolute favorite from the session!!!! That smile was all for Mom!




Aren't they sweet! I love this.



It was a really, really windy day when we went out for the session but somehow Audrey & Paul just worked it for me.












I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Audreys expression!!!!













Audrey & Paul, see you next Spring! _

St. Louis Engagement Photography: Heather & Ross

Had an incredibly fun session with Heather and Ross.

We wandered around at some of their favorite areas of town and had a great time getting to know one another.

The light was just about perfect here.


They are a really fun couple. I love the facial expressions!





Gorgeous setting right?!?!


One of my faves.


Again, the beautiful light. Cute couple too!


Ross jokingly said, "Hey, let's stand by the construction area. That would make a great picture!" I think he was just kidding around but the surprise was on him because I totally agreed that it would make a cute shot. I thought that in my head just as he voiced the thought out load. Ha ha!


I SOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOVE her Anthropologie dress.













Heather and Ross, can't wait for your wedding next year!!!!

Announcement of the Emergency Broadcast System.....Sort of

Evidently, if you are trying to reach me at my email of "von@vondevorephotography.com".....you can't.

My server (hosted at bludomain.com) is down. I'm guessing that it will be back to normal in the next 24-48 hours. I don't know for sure since they didn't send out any kind of announcement to all of their clients. I just had to dig for an answer and noticed some announcement on their blog about a new site change that's taking place today.

Soooo, if you need to get a hold of my, please call me at (314) 922-1612.

***UPDATE: The problem was not with my server per se...my computer was evidently being blocked...ME getting to MY OWN website was blocked. How crazy is that? Anyway, Bludomain took care of me and now my email should be back to working. Yeah! ***
