Here’s a little wedding photograph-flashback. One colorful October day in 2012 Francesca and Ross said “I do” at Saint Cletus Church in Saint Louis and they partied afterward at The Missouri Bluffs Golf Club. Country clubs are always great for wedding photographs, especially in the fall when the leaves are so photogenic… Related posts
The reception for Kerrie and Patrick’s wedding was held at the fabulous Peabody Opera House (now the Stifel Theatre) in St. Louis, Missouri. We had talked about wedding photography for the pair around the building’s architecture, but I had no idea we would end up standing on the opera stage itself to shoot one of…
Derek is great to work with. He helped make a perfect package to meet our needs and worked within our budget while still giving us amazing quality. You can tell he loves what he does and his results show it as well! — Michelle and Zach Bridgewater, 6/11/2011 The years have just flashed by since…
(Photo above by Rhonda Jean) I’ve learned that winter weather, in the mid-west, can be a lion or it can be a lamb. Last year, our first winter here in St. Louis, it snowed once and the ground remained white for only a couple of days — a far cry from my days in Canada…

At one point, I asked…
At Alycia and Mike’s rehearsal on Friday night, it became apparent that our young couple had not kissed much in public before and were a little bashful about the first-kiss part of the ceremony. So the pastor, who had been making everyone laugh throughout the proceedings, prescribed practice for the next 24 hours and asked…
Rachel and Ryan’s ceremony and reception were both held at the Quail Ridge Park Lodge near Wentzville, just outside of St. Louis. The ceremony was outdoors in a park gazebo under almost-clear blue skies and not-too-hot fall weather. The park itself has lots of great natural backdrops for photos, even though fall colors had not…
Derek’s photography is terrific, but that’s only part of it. I told him that I wanted pictures of everyone at the wedding rather than formal shots, and I swear, there was not one person left out. Derek was there at our whitewater wedding for pictures before, during and, to his surprise, on the water between…
