Jarah & Nick- St. Louis Wedding Photography

A few weeks ago I helped shoot a wedding for Kansas City wedding photographer Darbi G. Photography. The day was full of unexpected surprises such as a St. Patrick's day parade that I found myself on one side of while the bride & groom where on the other. Despite all the unexpected people, cars, and green the day could not have been more beautiful. In the midst of a sequence of bad weather, the nice weather was truly a blessing.

So now onto some images from the day . . .

I went over and took some shots of the guys getting ready while Darbi stayed with the girls. The makeup and hair for the girls ran a bit long so the guys had to keep themselves entertained!

Finally everyone was ready and put together so the whole wedding party headed off to the arch. Such a nice day!

Then we found ourselves at the church. Hints the change in architecture.

Lastly we finished up some bride & groom portraits at Lafayette Park!

On to the Reception at one of the prettiest reception venues I've ever seen, Windows on Washington!

Such a fun day & such and amazing couple! Check out Darbi's shots of the day here!

In the Spirit of Spring . . .

I bought some beautiful purple tulips the other day! So I just thought I would share a few pics with you in the spirit of spring . . .

Boudoir Photography - Blackwater, MO

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. E to do her mini boudoir session. Um you wouldn't even believe me if I told you she was a mom! Total Bombshell!

Ms. E found a bed & breakfast online for us to shoot at, and it was none other than the Iron horse Hotel which may or may not look familiar. To refresh your memory click here!

Anyways on to the hotness that is Ms. E . . .

Oh Ms. E you are one hot momma, and are sure to make your man's jaw drop when he gets his eyes set on these images! Can't wait to hear about the reaction!

Columbia, MO Bridal Show

I had a booth at the Columbia Bridal Show this past Sunday! Below is a picture of the booth I put together. I had such a great time meeting future brides (& a couple future grooms), now I can't wait for the 2011 wedding season to truly begin!

Mrs. E- Columbia, MO Boudoir Photography

It was practically a blizzard outside today. Snow kept falling and falling and falling. In fact it still maybe coming down right now, but since it's kind of late my desire to look is pretty nonexistent. Now while it may have been cold and icy outside, that was far from the case inside the Taylor Inn in Columbia, MO, where I met with Mrs. E for an early morning, Monday boudoir session.

Mrs. E is a mom of FIVE!!!! Somehow amongst her busy life (how could you not be busy with 5 kids) she found time to schedule a boudoir session with me. It just goes to show you don't have to be a bride-to-be, to have a boudoir session done. It's all about being confident and feeling sexy and just having a fun time in front of my camera!

So can you believe she's a mom of five? Yeah me either! Also, a reminder to everyone still in need of a Valentine's Day gift for the guy in their life, there is still plenty of time to book a boudoir session! Trust me it will be the best gift he's ever received! :)
