Enchanting Riverside Wedding - St. Louis Wedding and Elopement Photographer

I probably don't say it enough but I am so incredibly grateful for each of the couples that put their trust and confidence in me to show up on one of the most important days of their lives to capture and document their love and emotion and beauty. It is such a gift and an honor, one that makes my life so much richer.

Here is one of those incredible couples. Inspired doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when I was with them on this day. Everything about it, everything about them was perfect. Their venue, the Lalumondiere Mill and Rivergardens is unlike anything else I've ever seen... especially in the midwest. What a peaceful, stunningly beautiful, special place to become husband and wife. 

Laura and Chris, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for including me in these moments and trusting me to tell your story! I loved every minute!

Iceland Elopement // Styled Editorial Shoot // Destination Wedding Photography

Well if this doesn't make you want to elope... what is wrong with you??? ;)

Huge, HUGE thank you to Jillian with Wear Your Love for entrusting us with one of her dresses to traipse around Iceland. I LOVE how this collaboration turned out! Also a HUGE thank you to our friends Kaleb and Ashley for going along with this crazy idea and being perfect models... and just for being awesome friends and travel buddies. 

From the black sand beaches and basalt rock formations at Vik to the epic Skogafoss waterfall, these were some of the most mind-blowing landscapes I've ever witnessed. Our creator is a genius. I feel incredibly blessed to have seen these things with my own eyes and I long for the day I can go back.

Villa Marie Winery Wedding - St. Louis Wedding Photography

What a perfectly wonderful, beautiful day this was. Have I mentioned how much we LOVE outdoor weddings?! Villa Marie Winery was such a picturesque setting to capture Rachel and Joey committing their lives to one another. They were quite literally surrounded by all of their supportive friends and family and it made for such a special celebration. So so happy for them!
