Kristy + Scott: "Re-Dress" {St. Louis Modern Wedding Photographer}

November 28th, 2011-
Kristy and Scott were married over Labor Day weekend (see their post HERE). They decided to postpone their bride-groom portraits until after the wedding. I've been encouraging a number of my brides lately to do this. For Kristy and Scott, it meant that their wedding day could focus on what's most important--the marriage--and the pictures could be done later. So, we gathered on a cloudy day a few weekends ago for what I'm calling a "Re-Dress" session. We met out where Kristy boards her beautiful horse and wandered the property.

My assistant Nicole also works for Walter Knoll Florist. She designed some AWESOME florals for this shoot. I wish she had the opportunity to design for me more often, and I appreciate the folks at Walter Knoll for giving us these beautiful flowers!

AND she took the following three shots:










The fall leaves were GONE but we happened across this pretty bed of pine needles...



And then we brought out Kristy's mare...love these!










Brides....contact me if you ever want to talk about doing a "Re-Dress" Session...

Jess + Garrett: Married!

October 20th, 2011-Jess and Garrett were married on September 24th in Smithton, IL, followed by a reception in Belleville! We had a good time driving around the country (photos in a corn field! and visiting the couple's favorite neighborhood hangouts! Thanks to Nicole for being my trusty 2nd shooter for this wedding :)

Jess got ready at her parents' house, where she grew up. I love when brides do that...feels so personal.

Mom was an expert at lacing up her dress...

Flowers by the awesome Becky Huffmann...such vibrant colors!

Garrett looks excited to get married!





We headed out to the corn fields...










The guys left a gift for the owner of the property (don't worry, they're friends!)










The "shoe" game was rather entertaining...
