Stephanie + Ken | Engaged!

Steph_Ken-1

I met Stephanie at a Starbucks almost 2 months ago – we talked about her upcoming wedding and we found out similarities about each other – she is getting married to Ken at the same place that Chris and I had our wedding reception. So cool, I have not had a chance to photograph this location myself and I am very much looking forward to it! Ken has a Jeep that he is restoring and Chris and I have our Jeep that we have done work to! I asked Steph what her and Ken like to do to try to come up with some ideas for their engagement session that would reflect them the best. Their home is their favorite place to be with their pets so Steph and I thought what better location than to have a home engagement session.

Look below to check out my favorites from the day. Thank you for welcoming me into your home, looking forward to September!

 

Megan and Brandon | A St. Louis Engagement!

Megan_and_Brandon-21

When I first met up with Megan and Brandon for their session it had been a few months since we had last seen each other. Right away I was reminded how excited I am to document them on this day and their wedding day. They are a fun and easy to be around couple – and – they are so cute together! As we were walking down the street I asked how they met, Megan told me “A long time ago!” “We started as friends first and then it grew from there.” You could completely tell by the way they acted with each other, best friends no doubt!  Megan proclaimed to me that she is not a fan of photographs – but girl, you rocked it! Their session started around the Soulard area and then we hit up the City Garden to get some cool views with the Arch in the background.

Ben + Megan | St. Louis Engagement

Meg_and_Ben-9

She is my little sister and he is the man who is her other half. They met at Steak n Shake where they both worked throughout high school. Friends at first but quickly grew into a loving relationship of over 6 years now. Their wedding is planned for next May and it cannot get here fast enough! We started our session at Anheuser-Busch then headed to Lafayette Park (my favorite park in the city), and ended with Busch Stadium and a few Arch photos as the sun was setting.

It FINALLY happened the other night – Ben proposed to my little sister Megan. I am so excited! They are hopping for May of 2013 so that means that we will be able to have multiple engagement sessions throughout the year! We just did a quick mini session tonight, I have new lighting equipment that I wanted to try out and they we more than happy to be my models! It was freezing outside – a mere 27 degrees so we kept the coats on and the session short!

Here are my favs from our mini session…

Kelly + Ben | Wentzville Engagement Photographer

I met with Kelly and Ben in November for one of my last fall sessions before the weather changes. It was a very windy day but Kelly was a great sport about it! We started our session at Cedar Lake Cellars where Ben proposed and we finished the session at the gorgeous Quail Ridge Park in Wentzville. Take a look below to see my favorites from the day!
