We had the great honor of shooting Megan & Patrick’s engagement photos on Tuesday evening in the Central West End. Such a great time… Megan & Patrick are so adorable together. They are what love is all about! So sweet smiley and happy together. I can see a lifetime of happiness for these two no doubt. Dan and I both remarked at how this wedding will be sooo easy to shoot! Can’t wait! Here are a couple of the pix form our engagement session.
Dan’s family near Chicago asked us to come up and take family photos. They wanted a new pix for above their mantle. So we were both thrilled to go up since we’ve got a small break here in August between wedding gigs! So we took the laptop because we’re still working the wedding we shot a week or so ago so we can work all 5 hrs up and down!
So we get into Illinois a good few hours and this beautiful road appears out of no where. I insist Dan pull over so I can take a few shots of this glorious day. Here is a very insignificant road somewhere in IL that was stunning.
Here is yet another shot. I was totally in love with this spot and wishing I had a couple to shoot on it!
My new favorite air freshener. I love Yankee Candles and this is my favorite sent. These new pump style air fresheners work great!
Yep after 5 hrs in the car I get a little bored. I noticed that the shifter has Dans reflection in it. I call this shot “When Togs Get Bored”.
It was a great trip and Dan and I love this scenic beautiful drive. We’ve got the James Family pictures that will be up tomorrow. Plus we went to an awesome place in WI called The House on The Rock. It’s a very eclectic and unique house that is best described as macabre collection of multiple collections. It ranges from giant mechanical orchestras to a gigantic orca. With literally everything in between. You just have to wait until you see the pic’s.
Tiffany & Brad are a super cool couple. Definitly in love and such unique people. Tiffany has these totally awesome blue eyes and Brad has an amazingly cool personality. I’m sure the wedding photos will be truly unique and amazing. We’d like to say thanks to them both for the amazing day in Kirkwood.
Oh what a day. I must say Patty & Brad are one of our favorite couples! These two are just amazing. They are so in love and about the nicest pair. A true photographers dream! To satisfy their photographic needs, decided to see each other before the ceremony. All though they kept Brad blind folded the entire time. They agreed that he would see her the first time in true style so they removed the blind fold from Brad and he turned around to see his bride for the first time. I must say, of all the years we’ve been doing this guy had to be the most in awe I’ve ever seen. She’s truly a lucky gal!
They got married at the Jewel Box and the place was as spectacular as always. Here are a few of thier posed photos.
We can’t thank you two enough for choosing us to be your photographers. We wish you all the happiness.
Last week when we were snowed in, Crystal saw a contest on KTVI Channel 2 to win free tickets to a preview showing of “Horton Hears a Who“. She entered, and won some tickets for us! So Sunday, we grabbed our nephew Michael and headed to Ronnies.
It was such a cute movie. I think they did Dr. Sues justice, but the best way to review this movie is with a child. Michael LOVED it! It held his attention like a vice for the entire time. When we asked for his opinion on the flick, Michael gave two hearty thumbs up and grinned from ear to ear.
Also, as a quick update, we brought Parker to the vet Friday to have him nuetered. Poor little guy. He spent the weekend taking it easy, but we are happy to announce that he is doing fine, wanting to play, and nearly back to normal. He’s still a little sore, but he is going to make a complete recovery. Apperently during his time at the vets, he was hitting on a cute docshound. He didn’t get her number though. Ya win some, ya loose some I guess. (no pun intended concerning his surgury though!!!)
Have a good week all, and we’ll talk to you later.
Dan
