Mexico was so fun...I just want to go back.  I think I could live on a beach easily.  This would be my view/office/patio.

Scott & Lindsey got married yesterday! eee!  I loved shooting their engagement session last year and these two were amazing on their wedding day too.  Lindsey was the cutest even while getting ready and she smiled from ear to ear all day long.  Scott and his family both adored her and how could you not!  Here's an example of how sweet and thoughtful these two and their families are... It was a sit down dinner and they not only made sure I had a seat, they also thoughtfully sat me with a perfect table...On the left was a sweet couple that were originally from central Illinois and he went to SIUC, same here.  On the right was a sweet couple whose daughter does forensic photography.  Across the table was another photographer that lives in North Carolina (and she was so nice!) and another couple who live about 5 miles from me in Kansas.  Thanks for sharing dinner with me!  Both Lindsey and Scott come from great families and friends and I was honored to share the day with them.  The ceremony was at the Shrine of St. Joseph and you can see the beauty of this place in some images below but I suggest going here at least once if you live in St. Louis.  The reception was at the Old Hickory Golf Club and the room and service were amazing.  Here are some favorites from the day.

Some new things I'm excited about....

New wedding photography disc cases!  The first batch took some time arriving but now I'm stocked up!  I really love this one.  Favorite new feature...It has a magnetic field to keep it closed.  Baby sessions will feature a white, pink or blue...

Maria is like gold.  She is the sweetest thing and Frank knows it so he treats her like gold.  =) I LOVE these two and will miss them dearly.  We did an engagement session last Summer in Chicago where they live when I was pregnant and it was so fun walking around downtown Chicago with them.  They hosted their wedding in St. Louis at the historic Lafayette Square Park and it just made sense to me to edit a few photos from Maria & Frank's wedding with a little vintage flair.  Here's a few favorites from their wedding day.

Here are a few photos from Lindsey and Trebor's back yard wedding of Mimi's Catering in Pratt, KS.  Michele Martin, the owner, is fresh, bold and sweet and this makes for a perfect combination for a chef.  Her dishes looked so enticing I could hardly take the photo without trying to sneak in a piece of her Crab Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes!  The pizza rolls went so fast I missed them all together.  The steak was tender and those "thingys" with them were a perfect combination.  You can tell I don't cook much.  And, it was the best lemon chicken.  So, I'm a HUGE fan.  I only wish she were closer so I could use her for pretty much every occasion.  In fact, I found out later in the evening that both the DJ and I asked her how far she traveled.
