Lauren + Zach

Lauren and Zach are getting married in September in St. Louis but wanted to have their engagement session on Mizzou's campus - I jumped at the chance to hang out there again! I had a rare Saturday free so Brandon and I drove up there for the shoot, and to have a nice reminiscent dinner at Shakespeare's Pizza [which definitely hit the spot!]

the advantage of being a Mizzou alum - knowing lots of great places to shoot!

definitely a favorite!

they each spent a lot of time in the Business School, so we had to swing by for a few pics :)

more of the famous columns :)

we finished up the shoot by visiting his old frat house

and her sorority house :)

Thanks guys for a fun shoot! It was nice hanging out in CoMo again :)

Emilie + Wes

Poor Emilie had to reschedule her and Wes' engagement session about half a dozen times, all due to rain. Each time we'd set a date we'd get another storm rolling through! Finally though we set a date and we lucked out with a sunny and warm day. Good thing too - Emilie had waited long enough :) We met at Square One Brewery for a few beers and some relax time on the patio [my favorite way to start a shoot, by the way].

. . . I need to get a concrete lion for my front steps. . . .that would be waaay coool.

favorite!!!

I love the roses peeking through - so springy :)

awwww - they're so cute and happy :)

Thanks guys! Can't wait until your August wedding!!

Ashley + TJ

Ashley and TJ were married on a beautiful sunny and mild day in May, and had the quintessential spring wedding in St. Louis - it was more beautiful than I can describe. So, instead of trying, I'm going to show you A TON of my favorite photos from their day. Enjoy!

I have a weakness for dahlias :)

her hair and makeup were flawless, highlighting Ashley's natural stunning beauty

I loved their reaction when they saw her - it's so sweet!

the ceremony took place at the Lafayette Park United Methodist - one of my favorites!

such a gorgeous couple!

ha! we were photojacked :)

I love this beautiful lighting! Lafayette Park is a magical place :)

ABSOLUTELY a favorite!!!! [it's worth 4 exclamation points!]

coolness.

hotness.

I love this one!

the wind was working for us that day :)

[they're very photogenic - I couldn't stop myself]

I love those favors! [sorry Ashley, I took 8 home. I like them a lot]

Ashley's a designer, so there were lots of wonderful details, making the reception very comfortable and inviting. I want to live there :)

The End! Congratulations you guys!
