Engaged | Lauren & Michael


Lauren & Michael’s engagement session is one for the record books.  Not only are they the sweetest together (high school sweethearts always pull at my heart 😉 )  but we had part of their shoot inside Busch Stadium.  When Lauren told me they rented the stadium, I thought they must be hardcore Cardinals fans.  Come to find out, it’s more than that.  Michael is a college pitcher, and a really great one!  His fastball has been clocked at over 90 mph and he’s received letters from major league baseball teams, whaaat?!!  So someday,  we may be able to cheer Michael on in the same stadium! 😀  Mind = blown.

 

Like magic, rain started pouring down right after their shoot in the stadium, so I suggested we go to the newly-renovated city library for more photos.  Who knew you had to get permission beforehand to have photos inside the library?  Not me. 😛  We were kindly asked to stop after a couple snaps and luckily, the rain was finished and we went to a local park.  It’s always an adventure on our shoots and I just love that Lauren & Michael were so awesome!  Can’t wait for their gorgeous wedding next August!

Film, Engaged | Kristy & Trey


Kristy & Trey were the winners of the couple’s session giveaway and shortly after the contest they became engaged, so perfect! 🙂  There’s so many favorites as these two are super photogenic and fashionable, we had such a blast with them around the nooks and crannies of the city.

And have you ever wondered who I’d recommend for hair and makeup?!  Drop me a message and I can give you Kristy’s info!  She’s been my hair stylist for years and even did my hair on my wedding day, she’s that great! 😉  We are so looking forward to their fall barn wedding!

Engaged, Film | Jessica & Ian


We loved Jessica & Ian’s engagement session so much because not only are they our dear friends, I also shot with film.  With the exception of a few, most of the images below were taken with my film camera. 😀  Film images have always enticed me with their beauty and colors that resemble a painting, there’s something magical about film + two people in love…

Engaged | Ashley & Garrett


What an honor and awesome time we had capturing the love between this sweet, smart duo.  Ashley & Garrett first started dating in college at Florida, but they originally came from opposite areas of the country, Garrett from upstate New York and Ashley from Florida.  Shortly after graduating with an aerospace engineering degree (Garrett) and marine biology degree (Ashley) they both ended up landing great jobs here in St. Louis, Garrett as an engineer and Ashley as a sea lion trainer at the St. Louis Zoo.  It’s pretty awesome how that works, it always seems true love finds a way. 🙂

This engagement session is one of my new favorites because we photographed Ashley & Garrett ‘behind the scenes’ with her sea lions (Roby & Bennie) and started their session off at the beautiful Botanical Gardens.  They strolled through the crisp spring air, the gardens were bright with early morning light, fresh blossoms along the ground and in the trees. <3
