DJ & Jen’s wedding… and yes… pirates too!

You couldn’t have asked for a prettier day, perfect temperature, blue skies with big billowy clouds, and two of the nicest people getting married you’d ever want to meet. DJ and Jen were married Saturday at St. Francis of Assisi church in south county where we were treated to one of the funniest wedding ceremonies we’ve ever attended. We’ve attended several weddings that Father Chris has performed, and he never ceases to amaze us with his open, fun-loving style.

DJ and Jens Wedding-001 The festive mood began even prior to Father Chris’s riveting ceremony. The guys were all super glad to be “supporting” their good friend DJ on this most important day and like wise DJ knows he could count on his buds even if they were not available for the 4 a.m. roof clean!!!DJ and Jens Wedding-002 DJ and Jens Wedding-003The fist stolen moment following the ceremony.  DJ and Jens Wedding-004 DJ and Jens Wedding-005 DJ and Jens Wedding-006 Later, we went to Tower Grove Park to snap some pictures, where we met up with a group of fun-loving pirates who, when asked to pose with the happy couple, were all too happy to oblige. Say Arrggg…. DJ and Jens Wedding-007 DJ and Jens Wedding-008 We had hoped we could get in to the stadium for a few photo ops that dream not happening I opted to create the field for them. I thought our baseball diamond inspired photo was one of our favorites of the day. Just too cute and couldn’t be more fitting of these two. DJ and Jens Wedding-009 DJ and Jens Wedding-010DJ & Jen we couldn’t be happier for you both and we were honored to be your photographers. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness, and catsup (inside joke).

A heart-warming wedding in the heart of January

Saturday was chilly. Not 3 degrees kinda chilly like a couple of days before, but it was still chilly. That didn’t stop Dave and Ashley from getting married. In fact, it ended up being an awesome day.

When Dave and Ashley contacted us last year about their January wedding, we were all excited about doing it. We had visions of wedding party snowball fights and everything. The snow didn’t happen, but the wedding did and it was perfect.

Her flowers were done by Sisters Flowers in Kirkwood and there breathtaking to say the least! Dave and Ashley we so much fun and although we were shooting in cold weather, they did great! In fact, we had so many great shots that we could resist posting a half-trillion of them here on the blog.     :)

Mr & Mrs Heath…

Well we had an amazing day with Tracy & Matt. I don’t think we had this much fun at our own wedding. These two are a delight. Matt who is one of our favorite grooms is absolutely a riot and his bride Tracy is one of the sweetest girls we’ve ever had the pleasure to know. Dan and I feel like we’ve known these two for years they are that easy to be around and photograph. They have two adorable kids that are as sweet as they come. Since the day we shot their engagement photos we couldn’t wait to do the wedding. Let me say it was worth the wait.

Thank you guys for giving us the honor of being your photographers. We are truly honored and wish you two all the happiness in the world!

New England Trip Day 3 – Block Island, RI

Sorry Dan and I didn’t post yesterday. We had to get up at the crack of dawn to get our spot in line for our flight. So that makes the 3rd morning in a row that I’ve been up before I am happy with.  So we got back in good ole STL about 10 a.m. Went to my mom’s to pick up Parker (our puppy) and headed home for a nice long nap before poor Dan headed out to work!

These photos are of our day on Block Island. This is a beautiful island not to far from Martha’s Vineyard. The scenery was breath taking and we took a million photos. Here are a few of our favorites.

This was our transportation on the island. They revoked my scooter license after taking a bit of a spill during a training session. It was decided that Dan would be my chauffeur.

I would highly recommend Block Island. If your planning a trip to New England this is a must see spot!

The James Family

This is Dan’s oldest sister and her family. We had a great time going up to do these and are very happy we could get a new great traditional family photo for above the mantle. I hope you guys enjoyed getting them done as much as we did taking them. We love you all.
