What a beautiful day it turned out for Maria & Brians winter wedding!


The sun was shining and the temps were moderate...which was very fortunate considering it was December!


These two are happily in love and you could definitely see it!

Big thanks to my 2nd shooter, Stephanie, for bringing her tilt-shift lens and capturing this super-cool shot of the guys!

And of course I HAVE to show you THE SHOES!!!

You all know my obsession with shoes right? Maria did not disappoint with her fabulousness.

Mom and Sister were on hand to give her all the support she would need for this day.

Oh the seriousness of getting that tie on just right. Yes, indeed.

You could hear the intake of breath as the bride enters on her father's arm.

And the anticipation on the grooms face.....awwwwww. That's a moment I love to see.

St. Louis Wedding Photography: Amy & Mike

0 comments
This has been a long time in coming. Amy & Mike were married a few months ago....but I am just now catching up with my wedding blogging.

I have to tell you...these two were some of my favorite clients of the year. Not only are they a really fun, sweet couple, they had absolute trust in me! Gave me pretty much free reign to do whatever I needed to do to get the type of pictures they knew I could get for them. I cannot tell you how humbled I felt and how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE these two.


How adorable is this look Mike is giving Amy?!?!?

Loved this colorful wall of windows.

LOVED Amy's expression. So real!
Photobucket

Mom and Amy. Awwwwww.
Photobucket

And yes, even the guys spend a few minutes to spruce up.
Guys have it sooooo easy when it comes to getting ready.

Amy & Mike were married at St. Louis Ethical Society.
Very interesting building.
That's Clayton, MO, in the background.

This shot was by my fab 2nd shooter, Stephanie

Photobucket

A favorite.
Sometimes couples do this automatically.....
sometimes, they get a nudge or little suggestion to smooch.
I think it makes a great shot!
Photobucket

Another great shot from Stephanie, my 2nd shooter.
When there are 2 of us...we can get both this angle as well as the next. Yes, definitely an advantage of 2 photogs covering your wedding!
