I met Vanessa and Dillon over the phone months and months ago, when they came to me about photographing their September wedding. We’d had many phone chats and emails exchanged, but these two fab folks live in Virginia, so we met one fine June morning in Tower Grove Park for their engagement session. I was more than excited because I got to do my first session with balloons. I had suggested it to Vanessa in an email, and I’m pretty sure her response was ” ummm YES.” When she told me they were going to be incorporating some themes from the movie “Up,” there was no question. Balloons were a necessity. So I went out and got some. After traipsing around the park we headed over to South Grand for a bit and we snagged one of my favorite images of the day.

Vanessa and Dillon, I can wait for the wedding, I will see you very soon!

Enjoy….

 This is the fav…

I met Meaghan years ago, and reconnected through Facebook over the last couple years. Thank heavens for social networking.I have always loved Meaghan, she is fun and a no-nonsense kind of girl. So, not only was I happy to start chatting with her through Facebook, but I was even more happy ton hear that she got engaged and wanted me to photograph her wedding. So, we beat the heat and did their engagement session before it got to hot. One thing Meaghan has no tolerance for is the heat, hence the late November wedding. After a brief stop in Carondolet Park with their two dogs we headed downtown for some warehouse fun, with the final stop at Crown Candy Kitchen. If you have never been, I highly recommend checking it out. Their chocolate malts (among many other things) are delish. We wanted to have our final stop here for two reasons. One: it’s good. And two: this is Meaghan and Josh’s spot. They each have their signature dishes and always order them. So it seemed only fitting that we hit it up. And then have something to eat.

Meaghan and Josh, thank you for a wonderful session and a delicious chocolate malt. I can’t wait for the wedding.

Enjoy…
