Before wedding season got into full swing Andy and I took on a personal project. We did a bridal shoot with a model (our good friend Beth). We had planned on shooting in 5 different locations with 5 different gowns but only made it through 3 and a half (we were getting eaten by mosquitoes and it was getting dark out.) I think I was a little too ambitious for one day so the other two locations/gowns will have to be rescheduled for a later date. It was a long day but Beth was a trooper and she did a great job for her first modeling gig! Andy and I wanted to do a shoot that really showcased our style and to get us in the spirit of wedding season. I will be blogging these one location/gown at a time so check back for the other installments!

I couldn't decide which I liked better of the next two so I decided to blog both!

Kara and Tom's wedding was the first in our crazy Memorial Day weekend lineup. We photographed 4 very different weddings plus an Engagement Session in one weekend! Kara and Tom were wed at the new wedding facility in Hermann, MO: the Chapel at Hermann Hill. The venue is the newest addition to the well known and beautiful Hermann Hill Inn. The chapel overlooks the Missouri River and they have all inclusive wedding packages including overnight stays in their beautiful new cottages. The chapel has getting ready rooms complete with mini fridges, a flat screen TV for the guys, and a large dressing room for the girls with wingback chairs, a fireplace, en suite bathroom, and basket with quick fixes for any dress mishaps.

Stay tuned for more wedding previews and several engagement previews.
I'm in an editing frenzy right now!! ;o)
