Sneak Peek... Kate and Kyle!

This past weekend, I traveled back to hometown #2 (St. Louis) to photograph the beautiful wedding of a super sweet couple, Kate and Kyle. I packed a lot into a few days, including time with family and friends, a couple family sessions, eating at one of my favorite restaurants, Everest Cafe, and I even got some new head shots done for my website (coming soon!) It was great to be home for a few days.

Kate and Kyle's big day took place at the beautiful Oakland House in Affton. We managed to avoid the rain for all but five or ten minutes during the family photos, and I think I was the only one who got wet! There are so many gorgeous images from their wedding, it was really hard to pick these... can't wait to blog the whole wedding. Enjoy!

Stacy + Dan - I Do! Boston Wedding Photography

Over Memorial Day Weekend, I spent a couple wonderful days with the Russo and Speredelozzi families just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Stacy and Dan chose the Easton Country Club as the site for their spring wedding. Even though it poured rain during the ceremony and the picture-taking time, we still managed to get some great shots outside their adorable gazebo and on the golf course. Stacy had a HUGE smile on her face the entire day (well, except for when she cried during her Dad's speech!) Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Speredelozzi!

The save-the-date cards, invitation packages, centerpieces, name place cards, and cake were all designed by my wonderful and talented friend Kim Russo over at KR3D.net. Kim is a full time package designer... she's pretty talented. Aren't they pretty? Also check out graphic designer Gabi who helped with the invites!

Love the colored aviators girls!

The napkin note.... LOVE IT!

This is the gazebo patio (where the ceremony was supposed to take place - boo rain!) Thanks to the wedding guests who held an umbrella over me for this photo shoot!

This is my favorite from the whole day!

I couldn't decide which ring shot I liked better... so here they are:

Yummy!

Dan was a crazy dancer! (See ensuing reception photos)

One of Stacy's many big smiles:

There was no dollar dance, but somehow Dan ended up with all this cash!

The bride gets a lap dance:

Thanks Stacy and Dan for having me share your big day with you!

Chaumette Vineyards and Winery - Ste. Genevieve, Missouri

Last week Bill and I made the drive down to the wine country of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. Lately we've been trying to visit all of our favorite and memorable places before The Big Move, and Chaumette is special to us because we stayed there for our six month anniversary. On our previous visit we stayed overnight in the beautiful new villas and had dinner in the restaurant. This time we just went for the wine, but it was beautiful and relaxing, and I love their Norton (Norton is the official state grape of Missouri.) If you make the trip down to Ste. Genevieve, make sure to also check out Charleville Vineyards and Micro Brewery -- their Half Wit Wheat is delicious!

Sneak Peek - Stacy and Dan

Here's a lil' sneak peek from Dan and Stacy's wedding on Saturday. Stacy had a huge smile on her face pretty much the entire day!

Danielle + Marques Married! New York Wedding Photography

Danielle and Marques (ahem, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Johnson) came out from California to take their vows at the beautiful Greystone Castle in upstate New York (my old stomping grounds :) ) I loved the ivy covered walls! After I heard the best man's speech about how Marques was spending a lot of time going swing dancing, this couple's crazy moves on the dance floor made complete sense.
