Should be fun! Check out the broadcast

what a fun and loving family! the day was filled with special moments... lots of laughs and even a few tears of joy. and talk about timing... what a difference a week makes. we had two weddings at the WFP and within one week there was a 20+ degree temperature difference. gotta love st louis. :) for this evening the weather was just perfect! hats off to jackie - she did a great job with the flowers and decor - really set the mood for the entire event!

creative shots | don't you wish you knew! :)

what a cool wedding!! the day started out with threats of storms all day long! have no fear... the rain gods let up right after the ceremony which allowed us to go and do all sorts of creative things. we had a blast and would have to say the best part of the day was getting yelled at for being on the train tracks... what would the day be without a little adventure. gotta love the chemistry between these two. congrats to the both of you and enjoy the honeymoon. napa is one of our favorite places!

megan, hats off to the staff at the chase. what a beautiful venue and great service.

davis | bridal shoot

finally something different at the arch! if you know us or have worked with us at all... you know we hate shooting in the typical locations... however, this time, going down to the arch was actually something we were all excited about - there are a ton of great shots from the bridal shoot - but these two just jumped out at me as unique and memorable - let me know what you think.

Ireland or bust!!

We are super excited to be going to Ireland this year to shoot an awesome couple! We will be at Castle Leslie where Paul McCartney got married. So... if you want to fly across the pond for some family pics... feel free to come join us! Just kidding. :) We will be soaking up the culture and history for sure.

So, expect some cool shots this July after we return. I am sure they will be pretty unique!

engagement | richardson

just shot recently... we tried to book the fox - which oddly enough... it is possible to shoot inside the fox - for a fee of course ;). which isn't all that bad for a venue that has meaning to you and for these two, the fox has some meaning. hope you guys had a blast and your trip home was a good one! looking forward to the wedding.

newborn | millonas

so where were we tonight?? enjoying the wonderful birth of Chloe Mae Millonas! She was born 5 weeks early and is in a special care unit at the hospital. she is absolutely adorable and ready to take on the world! of course... we snuck into the room to take pictures. :)

overy | engagement

well, i am finally getting a chance to finish up my chicago shoots - and this of course was another wet one. sometimes you just have to take what you get and make the most of it. these two got more wet than anyone else we shot up there - but they definitely had fun doing it... lots of kissing. :) love the umbrella one... and no... that wasn't done in photoshop!
