- this year proved to be full of couples that we will never forget having the pleasure of working with, and these two definitely fall into that category. In fact, this is officially our final teaser of the 2024.

Surrounded by friends, family and twinkling Christmas lights - Ryan + Brooke took each others hand in marriage. Picturesque backdrops made this day incredibly beautiful, from the wooded rolling hills of Hermann to the breathtaking bluffs overlooking the Missouri river. Needless to say, we're absolutely thrilled with how their photographs turned out!

Wishing these two all of the happiness they deserve in their future together, as well as a very happy new year. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- there aren’t many of us that can say our favorite teacher from High School spoke at our Wedding, nor that we had a full dance floor to celebrate our union – but these two had all of that and more on their special day.

Cameron + Isabella met in High School, and rumor has it that their classmates were betting on their Wedding before they were. Once we met these two, it was clear why these two tying the knot was so expected – they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. Young love; does it get any better than that?

We can’t wait for Cameron + Isabella to see their entire Wedding Day from our perspective and re-live all the countless moments that we were able to capture for them. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- watch out world, Mazie has arrived! 🎀🎊

We're always so appreciative of The Bertholomeys. They've been nothing but supportive of Daniel Thompson Film & Photography for years, and when it comes to any milestone in their lives, they've never hesitated to contact us! Mazie, as expected, is absolutely beautiful and the perfect addition to this family. They're hands may be full with a now party of 5, but what a gift - especially during the holiday season. We're elated for them all!

Congratulations, Mom + Dad! 👏🎄

- wedding day's are naturally a monumental day in the lives of our couples, however the happiness that these two shared on their Wedding day was truly something to take note of.

Jessica + Chayce tied the knot while tucked away in the hills of mid Missouri, at a venue that has quickly become one of our favorites in the region this year - The Village Weddings + Events in Rolla, Missouri. Surrounded by family and friends, these two did nothing but share smiles with one another and bask in the love that they were there to celebrate. We considered it an honor to document those moments, and we can't wait for them to view their full album before the years end. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- this year has been full to the brim of couples that are spending their day doing exactly what we love to see them doing; enjoying every minute of it!

It's no secret that Wedding days can be stressful on a couple. Between the hustle and bustle of events, greeting hundreds of guests and answering questions from every direction - it's easy for stress to creep it's way in. However, Brett + Alayna never allowed themselves to fall victim to that. Through a full 8 hour day, we never once noticed anything but smiles on both of their faces, and we believe that is a true testament to who they are as a couple.

So many laughs, tears and impressive dance moves were captured during Brett + Alayna's Wedding day, (safe to assume their son is going to be a break dancer when he grows up). The speech, (or should we say roast), that Alayna's mother gave was truly top notch.. and all of this was only a fraction of the entertainment we captured! We can't wait for these two to see the full feature film that is in store for them. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- tucked away in the hills of Rolla, Missouri is where this love story takes place. The fall colors had officially peaked this weekend, however Anthony + Emma were the true focal point that no one could take their eyes off.

Anthony + Emma tied the knot at a venue we had never had the pleasure of filming at before, but can’t wait to film at again – The Village Weddings and Events. The day was full of surprises, including a spur of the moment haircut by the bride + toasts during the reception that didn’t leave a dry eye in the room. We cannot wait for these two to see their full feature film next month. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- we had THE BEST time during Ben + Annie's engagement session! Just in time for the peak colors of Fall, we photographed these two love birds wander around the beautiful downtown area in Cape Girardeau and are so thrilled with what we were able to capture for them. We can't wait to document their special day in Hermann next fall!

Congratulations, you two! 💍🍂

- they say laughter is one of the most important keys to a successful marriage. If this statement is true, the future looks nothing but bright for these two!

Salvatore + Alyssa tied the knot on a beautiful October day in Silex, Missouri surrounded by an abundance of family, friends and ladybugs - (seriously, SO many ladybugs). It's completely normal for us to gently guide our couples through different moments of the day in regard to poses and "hallmark moments" - however this was NOT the case with these two. Between Salvatores dance moves at any given moment of the day, and Alyssa's contagious laughter, there was never a dull moment.

Our couples this year have made it incredibly difficult to fit their best Wedding Day moments into a 4-minute teaser, and these two were no different! This just speaks to how incredible our clientele has been in 2024, and we're so thankful that Salvatore + Alyssa are now part of that group. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- this Wedding party takes home the trophy for the wildest crew we've filmed in 2024, and we don't foresee anyone else taking that title, (watch the first minute of this teaser and you'll understand).

Trevor + Emma were nothing but incredible to work with from the moment we walked on site, to the moment we departed their reception. So kind, so fun + so in love! We shared such a beautifully memorable day with these two, and we're thrilled that it translated through their footage so well. Just wait, newlyweds - there is MUCH more where this came from!

- sessions with this crew will always be a favorite of ours.. 🍂🙌

Autumn colors + midwest sunsets never fail to make for beautiful portraits, however the true love of a family is what will forever bring those portraits to life. If you need an example of what that looks like, just cast your eyes below.

We love any chance we get to work with The Bronczyk's + The Haynes, and we hope that there are many more sessions with this crew in the future! If there is one thing that we always walk away with from our time together, it's timeless photographs + memories made.

- when we think about the Weddings that we filmed in 2024, with the idea of "fun" in mind, this will definitely be one that we think of!

Ty + Haley, hands down, had one of the most emotional yet entertaining days that we've filmed in a long time! These two had a Wedding party that was both rowdy and hilarious, truly putting Ty + Haley's enjoyment of the day at the forefront of everything - exactly how it should be. What we didn't expect, was the opening of the ceremony.

Haley's brother, Caden, passed away in 2020 and it was understandably a very difficult time for her. As a Wedding gift from Haley's mother, she contacted a large group of Caden's friends and asked them to walk down the isle in honor of Caden. We captured every moment of it on film and truly cannot imagine how special that is going to be for Haley, her family and her friends. This is why we love what we do!

You two have such an incredibly entertaining Wedding film coming your way, newlyweds, and we can't wait for you to see it! Congratulations!

- our fall sessions are not disappointing this year! 🍂📸

Say hello to Brian, Sahara + Henley - soon to be known as The Rodenborn's! We will be photographing their Wedding in March of 2025, and we can't wait to share such a special day with them. Brian + Sahara chose to substitute their engagement session for a family session, and after meeting Henley, we're so glad that they did -- talk about a little stud!

Hang on tight, friends! March will be here before you know it!

- it wasn't difficult to pick up on just how in love these two were as we filmed their special day in the rolling hills of Owensville, Missouri. These two were like little kids that couldn't stop giggling and playing together, and it was just an added bonus that it translated through the footage so well.

Ryan + Katie, two people that were so kind and laid back from start to finish, made "work" feel like hanging out with old friends the day we filmed their Wedding. Incredible moments were captured left and right, (including one of the funniest best man speech's we've ever heard). We can't wait for these two to see everything we have coming their way! Until then, Congratulations + enjoy your official teaser, newlyweds!

- forget the scenic views that surrounded Jeffery + Katelin's perfect day; these two and the love that they celebrated was the best focal point of them all.

Jeffery + Katelin took each others hand in marriage at arguably one of the most beautiful venues that we've ever had the pleasure of filming at - Top of The Rock at Big Cedar in Ridgedale, Missouri. While these two lovebirds aren't local to the area, they chose a destination Wedding in our neck of the woods and honestly.. who could blame them?

So many laughs, tears and impressive dance moves were captured during Jeffery + Katelin's Wedding day. Choosing the best moments to fit into a 4 minute trailer proved to be incredibly difficult, but also proves that these two are in for one hell of a Wedding film later this year! Congratulations, newlyweds!

- these three have us completely fired up for fall sessions! 🍂📸

When choosing Michael + Brooke's location during the booking process, we went back and forth between two choices. Ultimately, they decided on Historic Main Street in St. Charles, Missouri - and boy are we happy that they did!

Fall colors are juuuust starting to creep in for what makes beautiful backdrops in Missouri this time of year. When you mix in some brick architecture and line it with cobblestone streets? Well, you're left with all of the Hallmark vibes!

Fun fact: we photographed these two tie the knot (3) years ago and were elated when they reached out for some updated family portraits. If these are the images when can continue to expect when working together, we hope there are A LOT more sessions in the future.

- this mornings maternity/family creek session was truly one of our favorites this summer! Crawdads, tadpoles and baby bumps all made for photography magic that we're so happy to have captured for The Bertholomey's.

We cannot wait for Amanda + Chris's 3rd addition to arrive this December, and as if it didn't translate through their photographs, we feel it's safe to say that they feel the same. There is so much fun, love and laughter in this family and we're so thankful that they continue to choose us to capture their family milestones.

Congratulations, Y'all! Newborn session this Christmas? 😉📸
