A lovely October wedding...

I really enjoyed photographing Jenny and Brandon's wedding. It was a day that started out cloudy and ended up sunny (love it when that happens). Not only do I want to share some of my favorite photos from their day, but also a new 'vintage photo template' that I felt paired with their pictures beautifully.
Congrats to Jenny & Brandon!

Jussie & Eric are married!

I photographed Jussie and Eric's engagement portraits last year and have been excited to photograph their wedding since. Both the engagement and wedding pictures took place at Quail Ridge park in Wentzville, MO. It's such a beautiful setting for portraits and a wedding. They had a lovely outdoor ceremony and an elegant reception to follow. I felt lucky to be a part of it.

Kelli & Bryan are married!

It was yet another beautiful September wedding. Kelli & Bryan were so much fun to photograph, partly because, their enthusisasm and love could be  both seen and felt. It reminded me of this quote: "Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire -- you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away."

Gabriela & Matt are married!

It was a beautiful September day (I'm late with my blogging), perfect for a very unique and fun heartfelt wedding. Matt and Gabby had so many unique, personal touches throughout their day. The ceremony included: a touching slideshow, a duet song by each other, personalized vows, and readers surprising them with halloween masks (they love halloween). There was not a dry eye in the church! To add to the uniqueness, in between the ceremony and reception they snuck out with their wedding party for some quick bowling. It was such a fun event.Photobucket
