St. Francis Xavier Wedding Photography and Four Seasons St. Louis Reception: Kristin and Mike

The bride had the most amazing blue Manolo's!

I had to take a moment and just drool.

Seriously oooohing and aahing from this shoe loving girl. See what I mean?

And then I saw the dress. OH MY WORD!!!! LOVE!!!!!


Everything about the day was flawless!


After all the primping and prepping, everyone headed over to St. Francis Xavier for the ceremony. I love that moment between the bride and dad just before she walks down the aisle. Thanks to my 2nd shooter, Sharon, for capturing these images. That's one of the advantages of having 2 shooters covering your wedding....you won't miss moments like this one below.

....or this one either.






After the most important part of the day....we roamed around to make some cool portraits.
























There really were bunches more but....you get the idea.

The first look at the room in all it's splendor. The Four Seasons is an AMAZING place for a reception.






The florals were stunning!

Love Notes

Love notes.

They make you feel warm and fuzzy inside and let you know how much you are loved.

I still get those...on a regular basis. And they make me smile.

My love notes are left for me on my desk and office area. I can't miss them. I'm there all the time.

My little love bug's name is Olivia and she's 9 years old.

Here's two that I found this morning from her.

I love my baby girl. She brightens my life.

That's all I wanted to share.

The Kleine Family

There are several things that make me nervous. One of them is being asked by a well-respected, well-known, and super-talented photographer to photograph HER family. I was soooo honored to share one part of their lives. Joanna has two of the most adorable twins I've ever met....Ollie & Raya.





Look at that adorable face!
















Raya (and Ollie too) were non-stop go, go , go. I had to be fast to catch them in any kind of shot. Phew!!! This one below is one of my favorites.












LOVE this one.















The End.* * *

St. Louis Engagement Photographer: Amy & Joe

I am blown away by Amy and Joe. Amy is so full of life! Joe is her perfect compliment.

This is my absolute favorite from the session!!!!! The image is so rich and creamy. It's like diving into a bowl of sinfully decadant chocolate ice cream. I LOVE my sunflare. And it doesn't hurt that the subjects are dreamy lovely!!!














We spent some time just roaming around The Hill...cause Joe's family is from there. I love it when we are able to incorporate personal touches to an engagement session.


Aren't they cute?!?!








Another favorite.


Oh wait....this is a favorite too. Ok...this is my 2nd top favorite.


Then we finished off the session with this delicious evening light. LOVE!!!!



Their slideshow is here. Amy & Joe, can't wait for your wedding next year. We are going to have a blast!!!! -
