Getting to know my clients and photograph them in the most honest fashion, that’s always been a personal goal of mine with each and every couple I have the opportunity to photograph!

With Hillary and Derek, it was an absolute treat getting to know these two! From our quick stop at one of their personal favorite bars, Fast Eddies, to the car ride heading to and from Derek’s amazing family farm, we had all the time in the world to chat over wedding details and truly just get to know one another as individuals. Then to top it all off, the day was absolutely beautiful and their engagements, stunning. The farm was well worth the hour drive out from St. Louis with it’s blooming trees and picturesque lake! I am so honored to be brought into each and every one of these couples’ lives and I can’t wait to photograph Hillary and Derek’s lovely wedding later this Fall!
