The Helming House – Herman Missouri

With the snow that was said to have come this past weekend Dan and I wanted to be prepared for our wedding this past weekend at Herman Hill Winery. With highway 44 and the weather peoples ability to predict how much if any snow we may or may not be getting we decided to stay in Herman Friday night just to be on the safe side.

We called and spoke to Lynn the owner of the amazing Helming House. I must say this rustic house right on the river which was completely refurbished was just amazing. The house was stunning so comfy and down right homey. We took a few photos of the house I must say if you’re ever in the area it’s a great place to stay you get the entire house it’s two bedrooms and has a great kitchen. All of which you can see below. If your in the area give Lynn a call!

Natalie & Tivis

We did Natalie & Tivis’s shoot on Monday night in the Loop. What an amazing time we had. We started out at their beautiful loft. When we met with these two Dan and I remarked at how if they booked we definitely wanted to shoot their engagement shots starting in their amazing building! So we got these shots with little miss Joyo, of their entrance to their building and off their wonderful balcony.

We then headed down to the Loop an amazing place for some amazingly creative shots for two amazingly creative people. They were up for anything and Tivis has quite the eye so he gave some wonderful input that led to some fantastic shots! Thanks so much for a great evening we can’t wait for the wedding.

Amanda & Riley

We had a great time with Amanda & Riley on Sunday as well. It’s adorable to see these two in action. Riley absolutely adores Amanda and it’s so sweet. We asked them to climb quite a bit and he’d throw her on his back and piggy back her down all the steep inclines so she didn’t get hurt in her heels. We can’t wait for the wedding; here are a few shots from their shoot on Sunday.

Maggie & Jeff

We had the great honor of shooting Maggie & Jeff’s engagement shoot on Sunday. They are quite adorable together. I imagine we will have a great time at the wedding. Here are a few of our favorites from their shoot.

Jeremy & Sarah… Are Mr. & Mrs.

We got the honor of shooting Jeremy & Sarah’s wedding last weekend. Jeremy and Sarah are just adorable together. She has this most adorable little polite northeastern charm and he’s such a devoted guy that it really was beautiful to see.

I’ve gotten the privlege of seeing Jeremy turn from a small little guy who loved to play with his trucks in to the amazing man he is today. My mom & Jeremy’s mom are best friends. So it’s always been a great joy to know him and to see the man he is has turned in to today is so amazing.

Knowing his family the way I do (since I practically grew up with them) we knew we were in for one amazing event. They sure didn’t disappoint. I’m sure this was just the send off Jeremy needed as he is a member of the Armed Forces and has been called up to defend our country. Jeremy I really couldn’t be prouder of you. You’ve turned in to the most amazing man and Sarah is a very lucky girl. You too have gotten quite a gem in her. Dan and I wish you both all the luck and love in the world, you both deserve it.
