Happy wedding day to Laura & Callum!

I'm so excited to celebrate with these two and their loved ones today, it's going to be a beautiful day!

Nervous about having engagement photos taken? Don't be!

Think of your engagement session as a well-planned date night (with a camera-wielding third wheel). I promise your session won't be awkward, you'll have a lot of fun together, you are your partner will have time to just be yourselves and reconnect, and you'll have some really awesome photos of the two of you when you're done!

Planning a wedding is stressful, I'll make sure being photographed isn't.

Happy Wednesday! This week's awesome photo location is Tower Grove Park!

Honestly, I could post for an entire month about all of the different spots in the park that I love photographing, but I'll just leave it at the park in general right now so you can explore and find your favorite photo nook!

Tower Grove Park in autumn is my absolute favorite, and these wedding photos taken at the East entrance on Main Drive certainly show why!

Do you have a favorite place in Tower Grove Park? Share in the comments!

Take your pick, up close and personal or pulled back to show the whole scene?

Good news! You dont't actually have to choose because I'll be capturing a variety of compositions on your wedding day so you have the whole story AND every emotion!

Time for another installment of the best wedding and engagement photo locations in St. Louis!

Another well-known locale, Missouri Botanical Garden is filled with unique backdrops for photos among the multiple gardens and 27,000 kinds of plants on display! MOBOT also doubles as a favorite STL wedding venue for your ceremony, reception, or both!

(Be sure to check the garden's website for photography policies and guidelines!)

This photo was extra-special for Daisy and Keegan! Keegan's parents took a similar photo at their own wedding, so these two wanted to recreate it on their big day!

Your wedding photos are your first heirloom as a new family, and being able to pass them down and share your story with your children and future generations is nothing short of amazing.

Do you have a photo of your parents you want to recreate? Tell me about it in the comments!

This was a perfect sun-kissed embrace together after saying, "I do."

There were so many sweet moments during Megan and Dan's wedding, I just can't pick a favorite! From their romantic first look in front of the Little Piney waterfall to their touching vows and super-quick I dos (they were just so excited to be married!) to their first dance to an amazing original song performed and recorded by the two of them (and written by Dan!)...all these moments and more made for an incredible celebration for an incredible couple!

Tag a friend who would love their moments creatively documented by a Jedi Master of Light (that's me) for their upcoming wedding!

It's ✨all✨ about connection.

Your wedding and engagement photos really are all about it. And not just physical connection (though, yeah, definitely that), but also emotional, mental, and social connection, too. The way you look at each other, knowing exactly what to say to make your partner smile, your inside jokes, shared interests, how you act together with friends and family...the list goes on!

Your photographs tell a story of who you are together and your shared connection, and I can't wait to document it and create magic with you! 💖📷

I LOVE that Madi and Kendra walked down the aisle together for their ceremony! They each began walking with their parents, then met in the middle to walk together before saying their vows! 💖

The smiles, the dresses, the hair, the brides, the wedding, the love: ABSOLUTE PERFECTION! 💖

These lovebirds are getting married today! Give Daisy and Keegan some love in the comments as they tie the knot this afternoon! 🧡💙
