Sarah + Ben: Columbia, MO Wedding Photographer

I met Sarah a long time ago...about 6 or 7 years ago to be exact. I met her when I was working  part time at Walmart and going to college. I've always thought she was such a sweet girl and was going to make some guy very happy some day. And she finally found her prince!

Ben and Sarah's wedding ceremony was at her mom's house in their back yard. It was an absolutely

 beautiful ceremony in front of the lake with flowers everywhere. 

We were estatic when we learned that Sarah and Ben wanted to do a First Look!  Here are a few photos to show how special a First Look really can be.

What I really loved about Sarah and Ben's ceremony was that they had written their own vows. It was like a peek into the very special bond they have. It was the most personalized and initmate ceremony I've ever attended.

And this couple knew how to get the party started at their reception!

Reception Venue: Courtyard Marriott in Columbia, MO

Congratulations Sarah and Ben! We enjoyed being part of your big day!

Maternity Session: Columbia, MO Photographer

We recently photographed an absolutely beautiful couple who was (at the time) expecting the first addition to their family soon!  This couple was so easy to photograph and even though the future dad had an upset stomach, he was a trooper and made it through the whole session! Their love shines through each of these photos. Baby Colby was due October 19th, but surprised everyone with his arrival on September 16th.  Congrats to the proud parents!

Kyle + Abbi: Columbia, Missouri Wedding Photographer

We love outdoor weddings! Kyle and Abbi's wedding was simply beautiful! When we met with this couple during their free consultation at the Isle of Capri Casino, we knew that their wedding was going to be a blast to photograph! They told us their wedding would include burlap, a barn, a corn field, mason jars, boots, and their black lab, Jack. They wanted to celebrate their love on their farm near Bogard, Missouri and put on a wedding that guests would never forget. Many of their details and decorations were inspired from Pinterest and added an amazing touch to their beautiful wedding theme.  Congrats to the gorgeous couple!

Sneak peek from a farm wedding: Columbia, Missouri Wedding Photographers

Back when Melissa and I had our own weddings, Pinterest did not exist.  We have so many brides who use Pinterest as an inspiration to create their dream wedding. Melissa and I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful Pinterest inspired farm wedding over the weekend.  Here is a quick sneak peek!  Stay tuned for more photos from this gorgeous wedding!
