A peek into Thomas and Olivia's breathtaking August wedding!

This is one I had been looking forward to since the day Olivia first called. I remember reading her inquiry message and saying a prayer that they would book with me.
These sweet souls couldn't have planned a better day from the beautiful weather, the florals, the mini cheesecakes, the DJ with the loudest applause around, and the most loving family and friends. They had it all!

Nothing says “Welcome back from maternity leave” like shooting 2 weddings in one day!
This team makes it a hundred times more fun than it should be.

Now excuse me while I take the day off tomorrow to catch up on baby snuggles.

Guys, I make the prettiest faces during sessions.

Shot my last session tonight before we welcome our sweet little guy into the world on Monday and the last school shoot ever for the Raney family. It makes me so sad but so honored to have documented their lives in all their biggest milestones.

Congrats Neil, you made it!

You can take the girl out of the country...
put her in some great clothes and you get these stunning Senior portraits.

We had the best time capturing Rachel in some of our favorite spots in St Louis. Thank you for letting us spend the day with you all!

Shoutout to Ann Layne Boutique for dressing this girl so well.

On our discovery call, Emily said "Ariel, you're just going to LOVE our venue!"
Now, I've known who Emily is for many years, but we don't KNOW each other, so I was super surprised to hear her say this.
The anticipation killed me all year long, but it was well worth the wait.
She was right. How beautiful is this place?

I could go on about how great the day was, but I can't go on enough about how cool this couple was. It was truly an honor to be a part of their day.

Give their vendors some love, they were incredible:

Shot my last wedding of the year last Saturday and I couldn’t be more excited for the results.

This couple is just as gorgeous inside as they are outside and wow… they had the coolest freaking people in their wedding party. They were all SO patient and attentive to my requests!

I’m not mad about coming away with my favorite wedding party photo I’ve ever taken. 💁🏻‍♀️

More to come.

Til Death is a long time, but it's not nearly long enough for these two.
So many neat little details in this wedding!

By far, the happiest occasion I've had the pleasure of photographing!
Keshon got to be adopted by his amazing Mama a couple weeks ago. With a courtroom FILLED with people that care about him, I believe he's in the best of hands.

What a blessing to witness!
Congrats on your Familyversary Keshon and Sarah!

The sweetest people!

I always said it would be a miracle if my guy lived to see 5.
Well, he made it.

If you wonder about his character, just look at these photos.

10/26/2023

All the way from Texas and they picked me.
What an honor.

Thanks Lorrin and Eric for spending the evening with us.
