Engagement Session at Pickle Springs - St. Louis Wedding Photographer

This session has been in the works for a while. We tried and tried to make it happen last Spring but the weather just would not cooperate and the location we wanted to use was completely flooded by all of the rain we got in June. I have to say, though, I'm pretty dang thrilled with the way it all worked out. Sean and Andrea asked if I'd be willing to take a bit of a road trip... um never do I mind adventure and new scenery! They showed me around Pickle Springs, which I had never even heard of. IT. IS. GORGEOUS I tell you! Such a perfect backdrop for these two nature loving babes and their pack of dogs. We hiked. We climbed on boulders. We watched the sun go down. It was perfect and so are they.

Iceland Part I // Styled Engagement // International Elopement Photographer

It's hard to even put into words how incredible this trip was and how unreal these places are. It all still feels a bit surreal. This whole collaboration kind of snowballed from my daydreams and musings to travel plans and last minute shopping sprees. Somehow it all came together and exceeded every single expectation. 

Kaleb and Ashley are two of our dearest friends so once we started talking about a trip to Iceland it was hard to think about anything else. At some point I casually mentioned doing some styled shoots while there and they were totally on board so naturally all of my creative energies launched into hyperactivity dreaming up scenarios. I'm telling you, if you're a photographer, find yourself some beautiful friends and go travel the world together!! I'm hooked.

So here is Part I of who-knows-how-many-parts of Iceland adventures with these two hotties.

Enjoy!!!

Engagement Photos at West Tyson Park - St. Louis Wedding Photographer

These crazy kids... I just adore them!! Justine and Josiah are that couple that as soon as you meet them you think "wow, they were so made for each other." I have LOVED getting to know them! They took me adventuring through West Tyson Park (where I had never been) and we just wandered around talking and laughing and capturing the love that is all their own. Heart eyes!!
