These two are getting married in St. Louis next Summer and were the first ones to officially book me for a 2016 wedding (my 20th season as a wedding photographer).

The ceremony took place at St. Ambrose Catholic Church on the Hill, and the reception was at the newly renamed Clayton Plaza Hotel. We had some time to kill between the ceremony and the reception, so we took portraits in Forest Park, across the river looking back at...

When we found out we were expecting last October, and that our due date was June 1st... Ashley was devastated that she wouldn't be available to shoot the June 6th wedding she had booked. Thankfully her sister and I were able to step in!
