I haven’t posted album pages before, but this one makes me laugh. It is a two page spread from Ashley and Adam’s wedding last year. That’s Adam going nuts on the dance floor. It was Ashley’s idea to do it like a filmstrip so you could see the many phases of Adam’s dance moves. Click the image to see it larger.

Caitie and I went to high school together, but I hadn’t seen her since we graduated. She found me on Facebook, discovered that I photographed weddings, and hired me to fly out for her wedding in Colorado this past weekend. And I’m glad she did! It was a beautiful wedding at The Sanctuary. The lighting was a bit of a challenge photographically (a seriously backlit ceremony, and reception with high vaulted ceilings and walls of windows), but I like how the images turned out. Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE.
Lisa served as my second shooter, and did a wonderful job. This wedding reminded me what it’s like to shoot in Colorado, and I’m excited to get back and shoot mountain weddings once again. I will miss some of the great St. Louis venues and cool run-down buildings, though.
Congrats to Caitie and Brian!

Darci and Marc are the winners of my Engagement Photo Contest!
These guys let me drag them to some of the places I’ve been dying to shoot in St. Louis before I leave town – including some run down buildings (one with a killer rooftop) and the train tracks behind Union Station. At Union Station we worried for a minute about getting yelled at for being where we shouldn’t. As it turns out, we should have been more concerned about getting stuck. While we were playing on one of the train cars furthest out, another train started rolling in. It made for good images at first…then we noticed we were completely trapped! The train was really long, and there was no way around it to get back to our car. In the end we had to duck under the other (not moving) trains, climb up a hill, hop over a fence, and then walk the long way back to the car. It was really funny, and I’m glad Darci and Marc saw the humor in it instead of getting upset with me!
Thanks to all who entered the contest! Darci and Marc met at a wedding back east a few years ago, where they bonded over a mutual love for mountain biking. Marc was living in Colorado then, and it just wasn’t the right time for them to get together. But a few years later, the two had kept in touch and things fell into place. Marc moved to St. Louis and they got engaged back in April. Congratulations to them, and good luck with the wedding planning!
Boudoir shoots just keep getting more fun for me. I photographed two sessions this weekend in a loft downtown, and we had a great time. I’m always surprised to find out who is interested in this type of session, and how much fun each person is once they start getting into it. The two ladies I photographed this weekend looked awesome thanks to hair and makeup artist Shannon. If you need someone for your wedding contact me and I’ll send you her info – she rocks.
There were some seriously good photos from these shoots, but I’ve decided not to post any but this one. A recent (slightly creepy) email has convinced me to keep boudoir off the blog in the future. So if you’re interested in one of these shoots and want to see samples, you’ll have to email me :)

Angela was a little nervous on her wedding day. But it wasn’t marrying Sean that made her nervous (she was confident about that decision.) It was the thought of everyone staring at her while she walked down the aisle :) After the processional, I think Angela felt a lot more relaxed. It was all smiles and laughter for the rest of the day.
After the ceremony, we headed to Faust Park for some photos and then on to the reception. Apparently Angela and Sean know a lot of married people. When they did the Anniversary Dance at the reception (the tradition where all the married couples come out to dance and the DJ narrows it down to the couple who has been married the longest), the whole dance floor was covered. At the end there were two couples who had been married longer than 60 years. That’s crazy! Normally you’re lucky to see a couple that’s been married over 30 years. I guess they have some great examples to look up to!
Thanks to Von for shooting with me. You can view their SLIDESHOW HERE. I’m off to shoot a wedding in Colorado this weekend – I’ll be back next Tuesday. Have a great Labor Day weekend!
