Sneak Peek: Michelle and Eric

This weekend, we had not one....but two weddings to shoot. Saturday, we celebrated the wedding of Michelle and Eric. The big thunderstorms steered clear of St. Louis....but there were a few small showers, which only means one thing......Good luck for the bride and groom!! Luck must have been the theme of the day. We started the day off at Hotel Lumiere, they passed out scratch off tickets and lucky pennies to all of their guests, and of course....the good luck rain showers. :) We wish nothing but the best for Michelle and Eric, and enjoyed every moment of your wedding day! :) Here is a little sneak peek......

And they even had the LeLe UnScripted PhotoBooth. Everyone LOVED it!!! :) Never a dull moment with UnScripted!

Leigh and Cris: First Impressions & First Dates

Take it from me, first dates can sometimes be a little scary. First impressions are everything, and a first date can be quite a telling tale. You either hit it off or you make an excuse, leave early, and meet up with your friends. Cris was a man with a plan for the first date. He was going to meet Leigh for a cocktail at a small little lounge. If things did not seem like they were going well, he was going to end it at that. If things were going well, then he was going to ask her to dinner. Leigh passed the test with flying colors. Cris was smitten. Take one look at Leigh, and you can see why. Not only is she a blonde bombshell, but she has a heart to match it. What I took as my first impression of Leigh was her kindness, her sweet laugh, and her pleasantly polite demeanor. Cris must have seen this as well, because after their first drink, they were off to dinner at the cozy and quaint Terrace View for the rest of their first date... which was the beginning of many more.












Time for a little fun with the Jumbo-Tron....

In between outfit changes.....we had our own little photoshoot...

It was really windy! But we use it to our advantage. And it helps we have Alicea, Ms. Hairdresser Extraordinaire! :)

My sissy can always make me laugh.....

And I am pretty good at getting her to crack a smile too.....

All American Girl

When I look at Katie I see that All American Beauty. She has a beautiful smile, a beautiful soul, and a personality that you can not help but to love. My favorite part about Katie, her dimples when she smiles at Zach. I have known Katie since High School. We were cheerleaders together, and true to her American Beauty self...she was the captain. She was always honest, fair and encouraging to the entire squad. The positivity that exuded from Katie and rubbed off on the entire cheerleading squad was still just as strong when I met up with her and Zach for their engagement session. I always encourage my couples to bring props to the shoots. The props can be anything from something that shows me a little more who they are as a couple to something that is completely random and fun. The props always get my creativity flowing. Katie did not disappoint!! We put her bag full of props to good use!!!

And then Katie pulled out the bubbles!! They were NOT cooperating with us!!! lol....I think these bubbles captured below might have been the only successful bubbles. But, it got some good laughs out them! :)

And then they pulled out the Cardinal gear....
And the Cardinal Socks! :) (Which was completely Zach's idea!) Good job Zach! :)

"Fireplace Baby" is One!!!

I seriously can not count how many times someone has said, "I love that picture of the baby on the fireplace!!" One year ago, we showed up to shoot an Itty-Bitty session. As we were wrapping up the session, we had one last idea to get a shot of little Chase Daniels fast asleep on the fireplace mantle. We never knew it would make such an impact or how many people would have something to say about it.
**Flashback**

Well little Chase is growing up fast. I met up with his family at City Garden to capture his one year and family pictures. He was no longer a sleepy baby....I was chasing after him and making silly sounds the entire time. :) I love having the opportunity to see our kiddos grow up, especially when they are this cute!!




Love this one.
There is always time for a little fun....

As always, we made some time for Mom and Dad.....
