Caitlin and David

We knew that Caitlin and David were going to have a beautiful wedding, but what we didn't know is how hot is was going to be. Everyone were troopers as we walked around Forest Park to get the perfect shots for this happy couple. Despite the dove release not going quite as planned...they wouldn't come out of the box, everything else was wonderful. It was cute to hear the story of Caitlin and David meeting during the ceremony and to be there for all of the special moments at the reception. We are always happy to work with this family and look forward to all the memories in the future.

Take Time Out

On the way to the park we were talking about families that have twins and how we have only seen 2 girls or 2 boys when it comes to twins, but then we get to the park and meet Maggie and Conner! These two were such fun and they have such different personalities. Conner was ready for his photo shoot posing and smiling the whole time. Maggie wasn't so sure at first but we found some flowers and the playground....she was happy! It's always fun to take time to play in the park:)

Tracie and Matt

It was great to work with Tracie and Matt on their wedding day. We were able to somehow not melt in the heat and got some really great photos. They apologized for the crazy wedding party but to us it just added to the fun of the whole day. Some of the groomsmen were so proud to get the bus to move closer to our location, even after the people at the Muny told them it wasn't possible. We would have to say that anything is possible for Tracie and Matt because they are such a perfect match!

Congrats,

Rachel and Emily

Baby Brooke

I can't believe it is time for my friends to start having babies. I am so happy for Mark and Melinda! We have been waiting for Brooke's arrival for 9 long months and she decided to join us on July 4th! Maybe that is to show us how independent she is going to be:) It was an honor to take photos of the family and sweet Brooke. She was in a pretty good mood and we got lots of great shots. I am so excited to see her grow up - I just hope I don't spoil her too much!

Tim and Bridget

I was very happy to be a part of Tim and Bridget's wedding. The family has been looking forward to it for months and now Bridget is my sister-in-law. Tim seemed a bit nervous when he was about to see Bridget for the first time but once he saw her he just lit up and couldn't stop smiling. He couldn't believe she was wearing make-up. Usually these two can be found biking, hiking or some other sort of outdoor activity that doesn't require getting all fancied up. We found some fun spots around St. Louis to take photos before the wedding and even got a chance to relax a bit. I was very excited to go to the reception because it was the first reception I have ever done at the Palladium. It is a very beautiful place and I look forward to going back soon.

Congrats and I am excited for some nieces and nephews sometime soon:)

Baby on the way

I was so excited to hear from Mary and Keary when she called to set up a pregnancy session. They were a wonderful couple to work with at their wedding and I look forward to watching their son Danny grow up. Mary was willing to try anything and was such a sport when I had her get in to the poses and blew a fan in her face. I could see the joy and excitement on Keary's face each time we talked about his son. I know Danny is going to have such a loving family!

Kara and Rich

Kara and Rich were so much fun on their wedding day. We tried to stay cool while at the park on a day that was over 100 degrees, but once we got down to the arch grounds we found a wind pocket that made everyone happy. The entire day was a party from start to finish and everyone had such a great time. Even with a bit of a dress problem in the morning Kara was calm and ready to get married and spend the rest of her life with Rich. These two even had a bit of karaoke at the reception which just added to the wonderful day!

Congrats!
