Dan and Anna - St. Louis Wedding Photographer














Anna and Dan,
We loved the intimacy of your wedding ceremony. It was great and a pleasure to be a part of. I especially loved your big smiles by the end of the service. Thanks for letting Heather and I be the ones to document this occasion for you. Congratulations again and again!

Free Sittings - New Studio -

In celebration of a new Edwardsville studio, I will be offering three days of FREE sittings! Sign up soon for a time slot, as I can only accept a certain number of sittings. Sittings will be booked as first come first serve. New customers are welcome, so feel free to pass this along.

All shoots will take place in my new studio and (weather permitting) on the grounds outside of the studio. There will be no sitting fee for the mini session. All types of sessions are welcome - Newborns, Animals, Maternity, Family, Children, Seniors, Products. I suppose we could even trash a wedding dress if needed.

I have three dates available:

Saturday February 28th
Thursday March 12th
Saturday March 21st

Come and celebrate this new space with me!

Lauren and Tony BBQ - St. Louis Wedding Photographer



















Here is a peak from Lauren and Tony's rehearsal. They had a BBQ at Tower Grove Park. The weather was great and threatened a storm late in the evening, but held off pretty well. Featured band was the Crooners - www.thecrooners.com. Totally worth checking these guys out... They were great!
A little known fact about my wedding pricing - When you purchase the CD images of your wedding photos, all other wedding related shoots (Trash the Dress, Day after, engagement, Boudoir, or rehearsal) are thrown into that package. So for the additional time, you just pay the sitting fee for that time and all the images are thrown into your package! This is a great deal for the photo obsessed, and a lot of fun for Heather and I! We love getting to know you and work closely with you prior to the wedding. And the "other shoots" can be so much fun! So Lauren and Tony were able to get all of the images from their engagement shoot, rehearsal BBQ and wedding. How many albums did you guys make from those?!?

Commissioning from Trinity Lutheran - St. Louis Wedding Photographer

(This is a baby's-eye-view from the baptismal font.)



This was a great assignment. It was wonderful to spend time in and around this beautiful church. Trinity is such a beautiful church that it was hard to narrow down just the 10 pictures requested for the office memorial. Thanks Connie, for thinking of me for this project and for putting the wheels in motion!

Lauren and Tony's Wedding - St. Louis Wedding Photographer



















This was hands down one of the coolest weddings I have ever been at! Every person there had a great time! The lily ponds at Tower Grove Park made for a beautiful backdrop for the ceremony. After that, the Piper Palm House worked great for the reception. Lauren and Tony - You have been wonderful to work with. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you for many more occasions!

Freya, Mickey and Little Bear, take 2









Kellie and Mark - The dogs are beautiful as ever! Thanks for letting me work with you again! What season are we missing now, Summer or Spring? I can't get over how much Little Bear looks like Ollie... I will try to post a few from his sitting soon. Thanks again and again. It is so fun to see you with the pups and to see how extremely happy they are!
(BTW - I put one of these into a "painted look.")
