Sarah and Chris' Wedding Album

This summer, I photographed a beautiful wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  Sarah and Chris are a fun couple, and even though it was a brutally hot day, they stuck it out to get some great shots. Thanks to their friends and family too! Over the last few months, we've gone through the photo selection and design process, and just the other day, their beautiful album arrived!  Here are a few of my favorite layouts:

I'm back with one of my favorite products!

So during those busy fall months of family photos, wrapping up summer weddings and my own personal hectic schedule, I have a tendancy to neglect the blog.  f.e.b. images' facebook page, however, is up-to-date with lots of fun, fall, family photos.  However, I wanted to share a recent sample of one of my favorite products.  It's not something I sell individually, but if you've received one in the mail, I hope it was a pleasant surprise! 

When a client orders a family portrait session or their wedding images on CD, they receive them in one of these custom cases with a few of my personal favorites from their session/event.  Here's a glimpse of a case from one of this summer's weddings:

I took this late at night, right before I popped it into a shipping envelope, so the lighting is not perfect, but I just loved the way this one turned out and wanted to share.  I added the little hints of green to match Aimee's bridesmaid dresses, and the photos are from one of those brutally hot days in July (which seems nice right about now)! 

Stay tuned for more (regularly scheduled) posts!

Aimee and David

Aimee and David met at SLU (where Aimee now works), and earlier this summer, they got married at the beautiful College Church.

They are a gorgeous couple, and their wedding party was really good about outdoor pictures in the heat! 

Probably because they knew they were headed to Humphreys for some food, drink, and air conditioning. They rented the side room for their wedding party, and everyone had a chance to relax and have fun.  
Then it was on to the beautiful Soulard Preservation Hall.  The reception was stunning, and Aimee and David's families hosted a great celebration. 

And, seriously, Galaxy (the band) was so good, I didn't want to leave! 

Aimee and David's vendors helped make the happy couple's day a success.  Here they are:

Second Shooter: Savanna McNabb
Florist: Tina Barrera The Special Event Florist
Lunch: Humphrey's Bar and Grill
Cake: Encore Bakery
Caterer: Gregory's Creative Cuisine
Reception: Soulard Preservation Hall
Band: Galaxy

Mary and Nick's Wedding

Mary and Nick's wedding sure brought back some memories.  Not only did they have their wedding/reception at one of my favorite places to photograph, it was also where we got married in 2007--the Randall Gallery.  And Mary and Nick celebrated in a style that truly represented them (notice the red shoes)! 

We started with a first look at Forest Park, and I just love their reactions!




I told you they were great shoes!






My fabulous second shooter got the shot above just before Mary walked down the aisle and the one below, which truly shows why the Randall Gallery is such a treasure-great job Savanna!

Megan and Matt, on the left, are a great couple we worked with back in September, and it was a treat to see them again.  I absolutely love the candid of Nick with his mom also. 


Mary and Nick chose some great vendors to work with for their wedding day:

Flowers: Walter Knoll
DJ: Elite Pro
Cake: Lubeley's
Cake Topper: Rhoda Lynch of BlueButterflyDesign (Etsy)
Shoes: Nine West
Chocolate Favors: Kacao
Ceremony/Reception: Randall Gallery

Angela and Matt's Wedding

It's a little late because I've been busy photographing lots of little ones lately, but this blog post is near and dear to me.   Angela was my best friend back when we were...three!  That's right...three!  When I got the phone call to discuss photography for her wedding, I was thrilled.  It was great to see her family after all these years, and I must say that this was one happy day for all of them.

Also, Angela looked absolutely gorgeous...don't you think?

Julie and John's Wedding

This post is a little delayed due to the holiday rush, but I think the happy faces in these photos will make up for that.  It was so much fun to photograph this wedding party, and I'm pretty sure they had a good time too (especially the stop at Schlafly Tap Room where Julie and John got engaged!). 



Thanks to my second shooter for the day, Savanna McNabb, for capturing the groom and the aerial views of the ceremony!  It's been great working with you this fall.

Julie and Guy's Fall Wedding

Julie and Guy had a beautiful fall-themed wedding in Belleville. We had a great time this summer taking engagement photos with Guy's station firetruck. I even got to go for a ride! Thank you for inviting me to spend this important day with you and your family.

Enjoy the spice colored bridesmaid dresses and all of the happy faces!





My second shooter for the day, Savanna McNabb, also did a great job with the church shots from in the balcony.

Megan and Matthew's Wedding!

Despite the cold, this wedding was perfect in every way!  The ceremony at First Unitarian Church was beautiful, and the grounds allowed us to sneak out for a few shots outside.  Then we headed down to the Sheldon for a lot of dancing!
