Wedding Photography in St. Louis Missouri

Megan and Tom were married at Megan’s family church, and then had a fabulous, fun reception at The St. Louis Artist’s Guild. They found me online and flew in from Colorado for the wedding. I spent a really nice day with them, their families, and their friends. I have rarely worked with nicer people, and it was my pleasure and honor to document their wedding day.

Chris Johnson of CJ’s DJs provided fantastic music and mc skills throughout the evening.

Although I enjoyed the day up to this point, the reception is where things got awesome! Chris from CJ’s DJs filled up the dancefloor and it was still going strong when I left a couple of hours later. EVERYONE was dancing, partying down, and having a great time. I love to see that at a wedding.

S contracted me this fall to take some sexy photographs as a Christmas gift for her boyfriend.

She is 42, a mother of 2 and drop dead gorgeous! Seriously, check out those abs!!!

I am just about broken hearted that I can’t show you any images with her face in them. All of my boudoir clients choose the level of privacy they wish for me to maintain for them, from ‘use any and all photographs you want’ to ‘use no photographs at all’ and all the variations in between. S was generous enough to allow me to use any image with no face for my portfolio. I am only sad for the rest of you that you don’t get to see her beautiful eyes and smile!

By the way, here is the nice note S sent me when she first saw her proofs (I can’t wait until she gets to see the final product!)
“Alecia,

I don’t know what to say. You made me look so good even though I don’t see myself that way. So thanks for that! It’s hard to go back to being a soccer mom now, LOL.

Sincerely,

S”

How gorgeous is she?!
B needed some last minute photographs for a competition, and I was happy to oblige. This is the first time I have used my in-home studio for this kind of session, and I think it worked out fabulously!!

Melissa and Bill were total troopers and got up for a 7:30am photocall. The light was gorgeous, and we had the park practically to ourselves…totally worth it!
These two were laid back, fun, and obviously in love. What a pleasure to photograph!!
After the park, we hung out and had breakfast at Blondies Coffee shop on Wash Ave. yum yum yum

Rachel and Charlie get engaged

admin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 07:18:28 +0000

Well, they have actually been engaged for quite some time, but now that the wedding is 8 months away, we figured it was time to take some engagement photographs! Rachel has been my fabulous intern this past year, and has also hired me to photograph her wedding next May. Her and Charlie are a fantastic, fun and super laid back couple…not only did they make the engagement session super easy, but I’m pretty sure the wedding day will be a blast!
In addition to all of that goodness, we also had some major light goodness happening for their engagement session! Yay for beautiful fall sunny days~

Shannon and Joe get married

We have had a beautiful fall here in St. Louis, and October 15th was no exception. Shannon and Joe were married at the Jewel Box at Forest Park, and then celebrated with family and friends at the Mahler Ballroom. Shannon and Joe found me on Theknot.com, and I am so glad they did! We had a truly great day hanging out with them, their family, and their friends.

Shannon's beautiful dress. Love the lace and the straps

Shannon's mom was the cutest! She was so totally and truly happy for her daughter

The boys lookin' all cool and stuff

The romantic first look. I love when couple's decide to see each other before the ceremony. It is such a beautiful time for them to spend together, totally intimate, and just for them (and for me and my zoom lens, taking some great photographs)

The girls <3

Taking advantage of the great reflections in Forest Park.

One of my personal favorites from the day. I love the romance, the light, the flowers...well, I love it all!

Shannon has such a great smile!

Time to get married! Shannon walking down the aisle with her dad~

Married!

And then it was time to run around town with the bridal party, having some adventures and getting some cool shots along the way!

You know I can't resist a reflection!

Singing in the rain

Handsome Groom

Beautiful Bride

Fantastic speech!

Romantic first dance~

Lovely shot from the balcony of the Mahler Ballroom

These two are becoming like family for me! I have known Trierre’s sister since 8th grade, I photographed their wedding, Sage and Sophia (check out the cute kidos from a couple of posts ago) are their nieces…you get the idea
