Married | Mary Pat & Josh

I've been looking forward to shooting Mary Pat and Josh's wedding all year long. Once I met these two in May I knew we would have fun together and that they would plan an outstanding party. They did not disappoint. The day was filled with emotion, fun, family (especially nieces and nephews - they've got 14!) and celebration. This Thanksgiving I'm thankful for so many things, including the opportunity to meet these two delightful people and help document their day. Thanks, Mary Pat and Josh for inviting me to be a part of your wedding. Congratulations and have a wonderful trip!


Once I saw this chair at Mary Pat's parents' house I was in love. I think I have at least one detail shot of every possible item placed in this chair.


When you have 14 nieces and nephews, there is no need to choose one or two to come down the aisle. All 14 had the chance to shine in this cool moment.

(So I was pretty choked up during the above photos, as well as the day after when I looked at them. Such a sweet time.)

They were married at the Old Cathedral in downtown St. Louis - such a stunning venue!


While taking some shots in the Hilton lobby, we ran into former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner who was in town with the Arizona Cardinals to play the Rams. He is just as beautiful in real life as he is on TV and he graciously accepted our picture request!


Home sweet home!


Mary Pat & Josh had their reception at Windows in Washington in downtown St. Louis. It was such a cool space and the street seemed like a great spot for a quick shot!


Congratulations, Josh and Mary Pat!

Engaged | Erin & Anders

Erin & Anders are adorable together. We spent the afternoon shooting pictures at their new home and at their wedding venue which is absolutely fabulous. I can't wait to get to shoot there again! Here are some of my favorite shots of the two of them!


Their dog is so cute - and gives great high fives!


Now that's a picture window...

Engaged | Erin & Jason

I met up with Erin and Jason last week at the Emeryville Marina to take some engagement photos. It was my first time meeting them and we hit it off right away. They were so cute and cuddly the whole time - maybe because it was freezing on the water...but probably just because they're so in love and counting down the days until their April wedding :) Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Engaged | Aubree & Ty

I met Aubree and Ty this week for their engagement pictures on a beautiful day in San Francisco. I had a great time getting to know them and their story and we took some pictures too :) Here are a few highlights! Can't wait until September!


Ty was a football player and coach so we stopped by Kezar Stadium in SF for some football shots!
