Kelsey and JT’s winter wedding was absolutely beautiful! Both of their birthdays are in February (one day apart) so when they got engaged, they immediately knew what month they wanted to get married. Kelsey was absolutely stunning in her custom wedding dress which had removable sleeves (such a gorgeous feature!). They were married in an […]

Katie and Thomas had the most beautiful and intimate wedding day surrounded by their family and closest friends. They had such a classic winter theme with tons of evergreen.

Ali and Dave are high school sweethearts who officially started dating on New Years Eve so it was only appropriate for them to get married in their home city on their favorite holiday! Ali and Dave both grew up in Springfield and met at Sacred Heart Griffin High School. They traveled their own ways for […]

I loved getting to capture Ali and Dave the night before their wedding for their engagement photos! They live out of town, so it was so much easier to capture them when they were in Springfield for their wedding! It is so important to me to work with couples before their big day so I […]

Oh my goodness, I had an absolute BLAST with Chelsea and Dale for their engagement session. Seriously, these two (mostly Dale) had me cracking up the entire session, that I almost forgot it was like 30 degrees with a wind chill! Chelsea and Dale met on New Years Eve and I can just imagine that […]

Celynn and Billy’s wedding day was an absolute dream. Celynn and her mom have worked so hard over the last year to plan her and Billy’s big day down to every last detail. It has been such a fun ride with Celynn, Billy and their families as they prepared for their big day and Lydia […]

I loved meeting Kassidy and Bradley for their engagement session! Their sweet lab pup, Jack joined us in the beginning for some fun photos. He was more into playing than taking photos but I loved working with their adorable fur baby! Bradley’s sister is the one who introduced Kassidy and Bradley and they hit it […]

Courtney and I went to high school together and I was so excited when she reached out about her wedding day! She is an amazing event planner in the St. Louis area so I just knew her and Mike’s wedding day was going to be so much fun! We started off the morning with Courtney […]
