Couples Photography

Chris & Laura - Modeling Organic Movement

I recently attended a workshop on how to implement gestures and organic movement between your clients to achieve a more natural image, something I've been striving towards my entire career. It is a lot harder than it looks, especially when most people are camera shy. I decided to enlist the help of some beautiful friends and try out my newly learned techniques.

*Although Chris and Laura are a stunning couple, they are not engaged.*

Jason & Marti - A St. Louis Spring Wedding

Isn't it ironic? It's like raaay-eee-aaiiin on your wedding day! (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)

Even though it was a rainy day, it was the most perfect day for Jason and Marti to vow their lives to one another in the presence of God and their friend's and family. 

This wedding was the embodiment of this wonderful couple. The day was stress-free and with so many laughs, despite the sheets of rain that caught us during pictures. You could feel the love pouring out of them to the one's able to join them on this special day. From Marti's grandfather walking her down the aisle, to Jason's heartfelt speech about his own grandfather he lost just a few days prior now being able to be there to see him get married to his beautiful bride. It's not often this photographer is able to keep dry eyes at a wedding and this one was no exception. 

To the couple I am lucky enough to call my friends, I wish you the world and all the love in it for ever and ever.

Cheers!

Luke & Camille - Styled Castlewood Engagement Session

I have few words that can do this couple and session justice. They are absolutely stunning and the fact they trusted me enough to style their session was so much fun for me and them too! 

Luke and Camille have known each other since high school. After graduation they both spent time abroad but upon returning stateside they found themselves back in their hometown, and as Camille would say, the rest is history. They love to travel together, spend time outside going on adventures, and love on the newest member to their family, Kylo. I have known these two from a little less than a year and they are already some of my most favorite people. Both of them are so smart, witty, loving, and welcoming. They truly are a perfect pair.

Luke was so sharp in his Navy Express suit. Camille, an absolute siren in that Bari Jay gown. I fashioned the bouquet, which was incredible, if I can brag on myself ;) , and even made a little floral collar for their fur baby, Kylo. We spent the afternoon hiking through Castlewood State Park, just outside of St. Louis.

Here is to a lifetime of love, laughter, happiness, and puppy kisses. Cheers!

Yasha & Gabby - Fall Mini Session

You would never guess these two have never been in front of a professional photographer. They have such fun chemistry together and they just shine in front of the lens. 

6 years ago they eloped at the courthouse and have since not had their photos taken together. I find that shocking because when you look this good, you should have ALL THE PHOTOS. I loved watching them giggle and laugh with one another. This one is going for the long-haul guys. Six years is just a blip in the beginning of a beautiful life-long love story.
