Congratulations Rachel and Andy!

Andy is from upstate New York and brought all his buddies down to endure St. Louis in August! :) But I don't think anything could've ruined their day. Rachel and Andy got married at the Rachel's home church of St. Luke the Evangelist and had an awesome fun reception at Windows Off Washington.

Trying out a 100mm macro lens.. whatcha think?













wooooo.... i love the feel of 'finding light'



And what do you do when the DJ only brings one light bar in a room painted black??? Use it!!









Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day! I hope the summer weather is better in NY! :) And thanks also, to my second shooter Matt! He got some awesome stuff!

Miss Ana - 18mos.

I'm calling her Miss Ana because she's getting to be such a little lady! And Ana's mom has been so patiently waiting to see this latest installment of "Ana Grows Up" so here they are!




This is my FAV!! of the bunch. She just looks like from an old movie or something with the hat! LOVE IT!




Quiet moment in dad's arms. :)




Aaaaaannndd.... Playtime!



Ana loves the slide!

Diane and Mike were married on the famed July 7, 2007 at Calvary Church in Wentzville and had the reception at Yaccovelli's. It was such a beautiful day but oh the St. Louis heat strikes again! The bride and groom were so fun and relaxed!! It was a really nice day for everyone!





Peeking out for the first meeting...





The first wedding ceremony in this brand new church!










And a quick stop by the St. Peters RecPlex for some shots outside... it was toasty!



I love these dancing shots.. they only have eyes for eachother. :)





And this is one of my favorites of the day. Diane and her dad are just so cute!!


Ha.. Garter, anyone?..


And the grand exit with sparklers!


Congratulations! You both were awesome to work with!
