Ali and Ian’s Romantic Day! We always love shooting a wedding in a new place – it helps spark our creativity as wedding photographers!  So, it was a wonderful surprise when we found out that Ali and Ian were to be the very first wedding at McKelvey Vineyards in Leslie, Missouri.  And let me tell […]

Kim & Drew’s Charming Wedding at the Old Peace Chapel Kim and Drew chose Old Peace Chapel at The Historic Daniel Boone Home to exchange wedding vows and this venue was beyond perfect!  Fall color could be seen everywhere on the beautiful grounds surrounding the church.  Old World charm greeted guests as they entered the building […]

Our first wedding of 2017 was the perfect way to kick off wedding season!  I knew May would be a hard month because I had just found out I was pregnant, and we had three weekends in a row that we would be shooting weddings!  I have to say, this couple made our job so simple.  They were easy to please, had a great sense of humor, and enjoyed their own wedding day so much.  Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Michels – keep smiling at one another, because it makes this hormonal lady tear up a little :).

To say I am excited about shooting this wedding would be a complete understatement!  I had Liz in class at Borgia High School, and it’s so amazing to see a former student so happy!  Better yet, I get to witness it first-hand!

What a great year we have had in the wedding department!  We had some seriously, AMAZING couples.  I’m not even lying!  Janelle and I have shot 141 weddings together, and we can still appreciate the emotions, details, and love of each and every wedding day.  We treat each wedding as if it were the first […]

Emily and Matt had a beautiful wedding at The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel, one of our favorite venues!  There were so many special and subtle moments throughout the day between these two. This ceremony was actually a vow renewal from their one-year-anniversary, as Matt serves in the military. Although this wedding was held back in […]

Sometimes it’s nice to go outside of our “norm” and explore new locations that spark creativity in our work!  When Ashley and Garrett booked us and mentioned that their reception was at Wine Country Gardens in Defiance, MO, we already knew that their wedding images would be gorgeous!  Even the name of the winery sounds […]

(Mother Nature, if you’re reading this, please don’t turn this into a jinx.) The morning of Kelsey and Nathan’s wedding day, I woke up to dark skies and rain – oh, and my husband reminding me that he’s been telling people that I “have never had rain on a wedding day.”  There – it’s out in […]

Amber and Bryan are one of those couples you know just belong together. The way they interact, look at each other, and laugh together made their wedding day so fun for everyone there!   Amber is the only child in her family, so I instantly knew how special the moments would be between Amber and […]

It’s safe to say, that for a bride, the morning of her wedding can be a bit overwhelming.  All of the vendors you have dealt with, the hair, makeup, and wardrobe, along with the group of ladies by your side, are all coming together and keeping you side-tracked.  Lots of those “oh good idea!” moments […]

Kristin and Brandon had a gorgeous fall wedding at Chandler Hill Vineyards in Defiance, Missouri! We took portraits before the ceremony while we had good light.  The entire day was overcast and, ironically, while the couple said their vows, a beautiful skyline opened, with the orange sun peeking through!  It was beautiful!  This couple is so […]

When Sarah asked emailed and asked me to photograph her upcoming wedding, I couldn’t have felt more flattered!!!  Did you know that I had her in class at Borgia?!  Probably not, but I am starting to see more and more of my favorite students get engaged, and I am soooo lucky and honored to be […]
