Many thanks to all my great clients from last year who took time to review my photography services!
Meet Val and Chris. Their engagement session on Sunday was brisk, at least by this Texan’s standards. They we’re tougher than me, and didn’t complain as we wandered around Frontier Park and St. Charles’ Main Street. Take a look and leave a comment!

I met up with Rebecca and Mark recently for their engagement shoot in downtown St Louis. We started near the old courthouse, explored a bit of Kiener Plaza and then headed to Tower Grove Park. I’ll be photographing these two Mizzou grad students’ wedding next July. Take a look, enjoy and leave a comment!
Christmas lights are great, even out-of-focus
Rebecca's grandparents had their first date in Tower Grove Park and were married for 60 years. How cool is that?
I had a great time shooting Allison and Kevin’s engagement photos yesterday afternoon. We explored Lafayette Park and the surrounding neighborhood before finishing up on Lafayette Square. Enjoy, and leave a comment at the end.
They're color-coordinated for fall. Win!
More to come from this couple in April!
I love fall and outdoor weddings, but rarely do they come together as beautifully as it did for Sarah and Mark’s wedding on November 7. When I booked this wedding earlier this year, I was definitely nervous about what the weather would be like when the big day arrived. Little did I know there would be a high of 78º and not a cloud in sight!
I had lots of favorite photos, but I narrowed it down to my favorite 30. Let’s see some pictures already!
We only had a few minutes to pull off this photo, but the wedding party delivered and we rocked it in under five minutes. This one is wall-ready, if I do say so myself.

fun!

The Coronado Ballroom on Lindell is easily among the elegant wedding reception venues in St Louis. Enjoy and leave a comment – this the last post from Emily and Ryan’s wedding.
I leave you with this photo of the wedding party dance.
After their wedding at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, Emily, Ryan and their wedding party stopped by the Arch Grounds before heading on to the reception at the Coronado Ballroom.
Emily and Ryan’s wedding was the second I’ve photographed this year at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Webster Groves. So far, I’ve got one booked there for 2010. Without further ado, here are a few of my favorite photos from the ceremony.
Emily puts the ring on Ryan's other left hand.
Shana, whose wedding I photographed in October, just left a review on my WeddingWire profile. Here’s an excerpt
“ryan and his assistant did a phenomenal job throughout the entire process! he was great at communicating and answering any questions and requests i had before my big day as well as after. on the big day, he was prompt and unintrusive-he captured all the important moments by blending in with the activity, and got all the necessary posed shots efficiently too.“
“since wedding pictures are one of the most important investments you can make, i am very satisfied with the experience and end result. we haven’t even been married a month and our finished product is on the way, while some photographers take months! i would definitely recommend ryan to anyone in need of a photographer.”
