Had the opportunity to photograph these two beautiful twin sisters for their model portfolio. 

Here's a few of my favorites.

It's always great to attend a wedding as a guest - you see your friends come down the aisle, say vows and enter into covenants, you seem them do first dances and accept toasts, and exit at the end of the night off into their future. There's something special about being there behind the scenes on that day though. As their photographer I get to see so many of the little moments that truly make a wedding day memorable.  I see tender moments between parents and their soon to wed children, I see sentimental gifts being opened, tears shed, & hugs shared. I hear whispers, cheers and high fives, the quiet pre-ceremony prayers.

It really is a treasure for me to see this side of the day and I'll never take that privilege for granted. 

I enjoyed photographing Jenn & Chris' wedding day in St. Louis this spring.  Chris, my husband and I have been friends for over ten years now. It's been a joy seeing Jenn and Chris together, following their adventures and now watching them grow as husband and wife. 

Congratulations again you two, it was truly a lovely day & an honor to be a part of it!

Enjoyed a lovely weekend in St. Louis capturing two friends begin their marriage. 

Here's a peek at their day!

Let's be honest people. I know its the United States Capitol; but I'm ready to claim it as the Capitol of love. Particularly during Cherry Blossom festival. How couldn't I? The trees erupt into a canopy of pinks, fuchsias and every shade between, the temperatures warm up and well - the birds and the bees make their yearly reappearances. 

 Cherry blossom is the perfect time for engagement sessions and I couldn't wait to share a sneak peek of today's loveliness with Ivy and Rein. They trekked all the way in from the Chicago suburbs to get the Cherry Blossom experience. Coincidentally, with their arrival came the height of the blooms, a gentle spring breeze, and well a day full of love and laughter. 

So, maybe the Capitol of love just happens to be wherever you make it?

Many more photos to come, but here's a few to enjoy for now!
