Adrienne and Jared

The reception was held at "The Grand". It is one of the most lovely venues on this side of the river. For those of you who don't know...they converted an old movie theatre into a beautiful hall. Adrienne and Jared just fit the mood perfectly.


This was a fun shot. They met at the Chicken House and wanted some pictures in front of the restaurant on their wedding day. I just love that real romantic sentiment.

I love this picture. It shows Adrienne's true sense of adventure. She was willing to do everything that I asked of her. That doesn't always happen but it sure makes for fun images.

I wanted to end this blog with this picture of Adrienne. I was so impressed with her classic beauty. It is no wonder that Jared fell for her. Best wishes and blessings to you in the many, many years to come.

Chelsea and Matt

Hello to all,

I got back in town late last night after a glorious trip to Europe. I can't even count the gigabytes of pictures that I took. When I get caught up on my wedding pics I want to share some of them with you. I need to apologize to Chelsea and Matt for taking so long to get some of their wonderful wedding pictures online. The blog server was down on the Sunday after their wedding and I left early, early Monday morning.

Chelsea and Matt's wedding was a pleasure to be a part of...their Christian faith and their love for one another was the true picture of what a wedding is supposed to represent. I loved every minute of working with them. Enjoy a few of their pictures

Derek and Courtney

What a great day. In spite of the blazing sun and heat, Derek and Courtney, in fact their whole wedding party, were great about doing what it takes to get great pictures. Everything about the day was beautiful and went very smoothly. As you can tell they are a stunning couple. But what always impresses me more is the sincerely sweet spirit that they possess. They are now in Cancun...and I couldn't be more jealous!

Have fun....bring me home some white sand!

Natalie and Nick

A beautiful day, a beautiful church, a beautiful bride.....what more can a photographer want! Natalie and Nick got married in St. Louis Bertrand's and had their reception at Oxmoor Country Club. I highly recommend both as wedding venues. The country club grounds were lovely, the meal they served got rave reviews from all of the guests, and the presentation was very tasteful.

Congratulations and have a great time on your honeymoon.

Mary Beth and Will

I would like to congratulate Mary Beth and Will. Your wedding day was wonderful. Every detail was beautiful and it was a pleasure to be a part of such an important day. I loved meeting your families and I can see why you two are such a great couple. Have fun on your honeymoon.

Chelsea and Matt

This has been the season of engagment sessions. I met with Chelsea and Matt downtown and basically kidnapped them and took them on a tour of locations. They were great and went along with everything that Paul Shepherd (one of my favorite partners) and I asked of them. We did get ice cream as a treat between venues. These images are just a few of the many great shots we got of the evening.

Natalie and Nick in St. Louis

This is the famous arch of St. Louis. This was our last stop of the day and met with the challenge of finding parking since the St. Louis Cardinals had a game that evening. But we persevered and got some great shots. Talk about having to use a wide angle lens...the arch is enormous.

This structure is called the Jewel Box and was built for the World's Fair at the turn of the 20th century. It is an amazing arboretum and grounds.

The structure below is the art museum.

After their wedding in June Natalie and Nick will be living in St. Louis so it seemed appropriate (and a lot of fun) to shoot their engagement session there. They picked some of the major architectural attractions for their venues. Of course this was thrilling and challenging for me since I wasn't familiar with what they had to offer.
