Paul proposed in the exact spot where the two “met” for the first time. In the parking lot of the UMSL rec center. He had a ring box attached to their doggy, Sawyer, and of course Lindsay said “yes!”
​
Paul and Lindsay both love to hike, play sports, watch sports, and spend time with friends, family, and Sawyer and say their typical date style is casual, hiking, relaxing at home or hanging out with friends. They say they do not watch TV much but like Carbonaro Effect, Impractical Jokers, & The Office.
​

​Paul + Lindsay had a lovely winter wedding right before Christmas. They had a traditional ceremony at the beautiful Concordia Lutheran in Kirkwood, MO. For their transportation they had the St. Louis Trolly. It was so cute and they even climbed on the back for a photo. We went to Forest Park for photos after the ceremony and used a favorite spot of ours, The Muny. We had to make a spot at Ted Drewes which is these guys favorite before heading to the next spot for photos. It was so cute watching these two try to feed each other without making a mess.  Then we went to The St. Louis Public Library downtown. We had never been inside before and it was pretty amazing. This place is decked out in gold trimming everywhere, beautiful stained-glass windows, and huge archway doorways, hallways and stairways. Next, it was finally time to party at the reception at Forest Park Golf Course. For Lindsay and Paul’s first dance, Paul dabbles in guitar playing and song writing. He wrote a song first their first dance and since he could not play it and dance with Lindsay at the same time, he had his brother preformed the song. It was a great moment that made everyone teary eyed. After many laughs, a few tears and some dancing it was time for us to “punch out”.

We had a great time
photographing and filming
Lindsay + Paul’s wedding!
​Congratulations and best wishes!

We met Summer + Jacob at Eco Park on a windy wintery day in December. We walked the Katy Trail to use some of the woods and awesome bridges. Then we headed over to second street in St. Charles to avoid the "Main Street" holiday crowds. Even though it was pretty cold and windy these two were such troopers thought-out the session. We had a great time photographing these two and are looking forward to filming and photographing their upcoming wedding in October at Lakeside 370!

Above is a trailer/highlight video of Colleen and Robert’s wedding.

Colleen is from Pittsburgh, PA and Robert is from Tulsa, OK. It wasn’t until collage when Colleen and Robert met. It was at physical therapy at Washington University.

These two are so stylish couple and for their first date and stylish skiing trip to Lake Placid in New York was perfect for them. Together they share a love for, Sunday football, traveling, playing all kinds of sports, outdoor activities and their 5-year-old yellow lab, Blue. 

Obviously, these two were/are perfect for each other and one day Robert proposed to Colleen in Forest Park at the bottom of “art hill”. Robert arranged for all of their friends and family to all be in town as an extra surprise, and they were able to witness this special moment.

They had a lovely ceremony at Sunflower Hill Farm in Augusta, MO and their dog Blue made an excellent ring bearer. During our short time together, they showed us so much kindness and warmth, they are such a blessing to be around. These two are such a sweet, loving, and beautiful couple and we believe we captured that in this video.

We had a great time capturing Colleen and Robert special day. We wish them a lifetime of happiness and love.

Congratulations and Best Wishes!

A few of our favorite photos and wedding trailer from Liz and Wes Mahoney's fall time wedding. 

These two met on the dating site eHarmony. Wes calls Lancaster Kansas his hometown and Liz says that she’s
a military brat so it’s hard to tell, lol. They had their first date at the Granite City Brewery. Wes likes to golf, fish, work on projects, and try out new adventures. Liz likes to read, shop, swim and watch movies. Together they say they love to travel and just enjoy spending time together. They say their favorite show they can’t miss is “Game of Thrones” and if their typical date style is dinner and a movie (definitely our kind of people😉).

Wes proposed to Liz on the beach with her family there. What a beautiful place to propose!

These two were wed at the Old Stone Chapel in St. Charles. They had a short and sweet ceremony where they were recited their own vows. Next, we headed to Forest Park where the reception was going to be, Forest Park Golf Course, to get some more pictures and footage. Liz’s parents were wed at the Jewel Box in Forest Park and they wanted to make sure to go there first. then we headed to the Grand Basin to get some
wedding party pictures. It was quite a cold and windy day so, after everybody “toughed it out” with us, we headed to the reception. These two, their wedding party, and family were all so much fun to be around and all such nice people.

We had a great time photographing and filming Liz and Wes’s wedding.
​
Congratulations to the newlyweds and best wishes!

Check out this sneak peek + highlight video of the Thomas wedding at Hermann Hill in Hermann Missouri.

Let me start off with saying how much I love these two! Holly is our niece, so when she asked us to photograph+ film her wedding we could’ve been more excited and honored. These two had a short and sweet ceremony inside the chapel overlooking the river. They had their family nearby them, Holly’s daughters were her bridesmaids and flower girl and Allen’s father, brother and son were his groomsman.

We manage to get outside for a few shots on this insanely windy October day.  Holly and Allen did a great job with pretending like it wasn’t cold and we got some amazing photos. The reception was below in the basement with beautiful chandeliers and the best coffee bar I’ve ever seen at a wedding! Complete with every single flavor of syrup, powders, sprinkles,  and even chocolate covered spoons to stir it with.

They ended the night with the wonderful sparkler exit. We had a great time photographing in filming Holly and Allen’s wedding! Congratulations and best wishes!

A sneak peek of Stephanie & Daniel’s wedding.

Stephanie grew up in Edwardsville, IL and went to college SIUE. Which is also where we shot Steph and Dan’s engagement session. Daniel grew up in Grimes, IA and attended undergrad at Northwestern College and then law school at Liberty University.

Steph and Dan met through an online dating app and had their first date at Salt and Smoke. “It was love at first sight and knew it was something special” and before you know it, they were planning their first anniversary. Dan proposed to Stephanie after a walk-through Castlewood State Park and of course Stephanie said “yes”.

The wedding day happened exactly 2 years after they first met on October 6th, 2017. So, on October 6th, 2019, Dan and Steph were wed at Little Piney Lodge in Hermann, MO. It was a beautiful, but raining day. The rain stayed away just long enough for these two to have the ceremony outside under Little Piney’s iconic gazebo overlooking the lake. They were wed by the groom’s father and they had a lovely knot tying ceremony. During the “unity ceremony” wonderful acoustic music was played by two young ladies.

A sneak peek of Shayla and Jeff's wedding. We started the day with Shayla at the Breeze Blow Dry Bar with Emily Kettler doing and fantastic job with Shay's makeup and lashes. After Shayla headed to the hotel to get ready with her sister and Maid of Honor. Jeff and Shayla decided to do a first look at Forest Park. We love first looks and it helps some people get the "jitters" out so they can relax for the ceremony. 

A sneak peek of Devon + Tim Eskew’s wedding. These two met at Brick’s Offroad Park and had their first date at Qdoba and had ice cream. They say their typical date is hanging out listening to live music. Tim popped the big question right as Devon was coming out of the shower and completely caught her by surprise. They can’t get enough of the show America’s Got Talent. They have a girl, Karsynn and a baby boy, Dean, 2 cats and 2 dogs that keep them pretty busy but when they do have free time, they both love to create and design vinyl. Also, Tim loves dirt track racing and Devon loves arts + crafts and reading.  

The ceremony was at Devon’s family farm in Steelville Missouri right off the Huzzah River.  Devon + Tim were wed right in front of a very old barn on the property. It was a short and sweet ceremony with lots of laughs. We accomplished a lot of our “formal” photos before the ceremony since we had a bit of a drive to the next location. The reception was at fun and unique Transportation Museum. We arrived early with the couple to get some amazing and super fun photos around the property. We ended the evening with very cool night shot of the couple under the streetlight. We had a great time photographing and filming Devon + Tim’s wedding! Congratulations and best wishes!

A sneak peek of Jennifer + Nick Stanley’s wedding. These two met in high school and had their first date at a local bar. They say their typical date is dinner and a movie. Nick popped the big question on their 8-year anniversary at the bar where they had their first date. They can’t get enough of the show Game of Thrones. They have 2 boys and 3 cats that keep them pretty busy but when they do have free time, they both enjoy gaming. The wedding took place in September on Friday the 13th. The ceremony and reception were both at The Weingarten in Belleville, IL.  Jenn + Nick had a lovely ceremony where they recited their own vows and had a unity tree ceremony, where they placed dirt and watered a small tree together. They also had their cat, Mikey, “walk” down the aisle (he ended up having to be carried). Their two boys were also in the wedding party, Bastian (ring bearer) + Sonny was pulled in a wagon by one of the bridesmaids.   After the ceremony, and family formals, it was time for wedding party and bride + groom formals. Since Jenn + Nick had a “spooky theme” we saw that the property had a small cemetery and thought that would be awesome! Next, it was finally time to party at the reception and they “ended” the evening with a sparkler exit. Jennifer was thrilled to have her date on Friday the 13th (like she wanted) but to also have a full moon that evening. It ended up being a cloudy evening but we were still able to capture an amazing “moony” night shot.     We had a great time photographing Jennifer + Nick’s wedding! Congratulations and best wishes!

​A sneak peek of Valerie + Rick Reed’s wedding. They are both from St. Louis and met online. For their first date, they ate dinner at Joey B’s. They say their typical date is dinner and a movie and both love nature.  Rick popped the big question on the Ferris wheel in Branson, MO.  They had an intimate ceremony with their family that took place at the Rec-Plex park at the gazebo. It was a short and sweet ceremony where the couple recited their own vows. After pictures in the park it was off to the reception Spazio’s at Westport. We had a lovely time photographing Valerie + Rick’s wedding! Congratulations and best wishes!

A sneak peek of an engagement session shot at Cliff Cave County Park. Lynn at Ryan met at The Padderborn Bar with their first date at Applebee’s. These two love cats and the show “Big Brother”. Lynn and Ryan are perfect together and you can truly see their love when they look into each other’s eyes. These guys were troopers throughout the session, despite it being pretty hot and quite a lot longer of a hike than anticipated. We had a great time getting to know these two and look forward to photographing and filming their wedding at The Falls in Columbia, IL in June of 2020. ​

A sneak peek of the Brittani and Cody Wright’s wedding.  The whole day took place at the cute, rustic and quant White Owl in Wright City, MO. This rustic/chic farm venue was so much fun to photograph. Fun and quirky signs welcome you into the venue and help you find your way along the “forest path”. The ladies got ready in the “Hen House” and the fellas got ready in the barn. The ceremony took place on the lake with a walkout deck over the water where the couple stands. The guests are covered under an old chapel roof, complete with stained glass windows with chapel pews to sit in. Brittani and Cody had a short and sweet ceremony where they had a handfasting ceremony for their unity ceremony. After a few formals, it was finally party time, which everyone was excited to get to. The reception took place at their covered barn with lovely twinkle light on the outside. Everyone danced (and drank) the night away under the summer sky. We had a great time photographing Brittani + Cody’s wedding and wish them all the best. Congratulations and best wishes.

A sneak peek of Ronetta + Cavell Braggs’ wedding. They are both from St. Louis and met on a camping trip at the Huzzah Valley Resort. For their first date, they ate lunch at P.F. Changs.  The couple’s favorite TV show is “Power & Insecure” and they say a typical date style is “chill”. They prefer food, drinks, long walks and lots of conversation over clubbing. Cavell loves softball, landscaping, and hanging out with friends and family. Ronetta loves to go shopping and a good “happy hour”.  Cavell popped the big question on Christmas day, at Ronetta’s Aunt house, in front of Ronetta’s family.  The whole wedding day took place at the St. Louis Renaissance Hotel by the airport. We had a lovely time photographing and filming Ronetta + Cavell’s wedding and wish them all the best.

Congratulations and best wishes.

This is a sneak peek of another fun but hot summer engagement session.  We met Madeline and Evan at Kiener Plaza in front of the Old Courthouse in downtown St. Louis. It was another typical hot and humid St. Louis day but Madeline and Evan were troopers and battled the heat with us. We grabbed a few photos with their dog in front of the Old Courthouse and then headed over to the arch grounds. We had a great time getting to know these two and even got to meet Evan's parents and Madeline's Mom, who watched the doggy for us while we took photos. We can't wait to film and photograph the wedding next July at Piazza Messina in Cottleville, MO. ​

A sneak peek of a wedding we photographed for Kristen and Glen. The couple got ready at the Chase Park Plaza, St. Louis. The girls were decked out in matching robes. We were able to capture an iconic shot with the wedding dress in the background and the bridal bouquet, jewelry and garter in the foreground. The couple had a short and loving ceremony at the Jewel Box in Forest Park. They shared a sweet moment with their daughter when she was invited up to light the unity candle with Kristen and Glen. The couple also recited their own vows, and even had little “his and her” books to put them. Glen is part of the St. Louis SWAT team and was able to borrow “The Bear“ the SWAT team vehicle as their wedding vehicle for the day. So after a little surprise gift from Kristen to Glen, a new handgun, it was time for formals. It was a hot day in July so we had to keep formals fairly short. Kristen, Glen, and their families were wonderful throughout the heat. We captured some amazing pictures, no one would ever know it was nearly 90°. It’s finally time to head to the reception, at the St. Louis police Association off Hampton. It was a night of Fun, laughter and awesome dance moves. Had a great time photographing Kristen and Glen’s wedding and wish them a lifetime of happiness. Best wishes!
Until next time☺️😉,
