It’s been a while since we’ve experienced a Midwest winter- I kinda love how the muted colors and grey skies make our favorite people look so vibrant!

SO MUCH GRATITUDE for this wild year and the truly beautiful people and their families that have trusted us to capture their closeness. The appreciation and support we get from our couples makes us want to cry and do this forever!

Here is a photo of the most interesting person I know and using the word love barely begins to cover it. The devotion and admiration I feel for this man freaks me out sometimes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curiosity is his oxygen and the wheels turn constantly- problem solving and deep diving into complex tasks. Somehow, he’s good at everything. One day he mentions something and the next week he’s mastered it. The focus can be so intense, a full day can pass without him remembering to eat. He is gentle, nurturing, and always ready with a joke. Whenever I excitedly explain a grand road trip or camping plan, he smiles sweetly- knowing that despite my energy around the idea, he’ll be doing most of the driving and heavy lifting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He loves people and makes friends so easily- from strangers in line at the grocery store to the guy that comes to fix the WiFi. His heart is open wide to the world and I’m so grateful he’s a part of mine.

If you would’ve told me in 2016 that one day I’d be photographing amazing people all over the country (with my hilarious and helpful husband) I would’ve laughed politely then whispered to my mom about how crazy you are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

A month ago we got to shoot in Chicago and we looooved all of the new textures and cityscape. And yes it was COLD but Rachelle and Nick just goofed off with us and gave us a bomb walking tour of the city! Still PINCHING MYSELF that we get to share awesome experiences like these with new friends!

“You guys HAVE TO BE KIDDING. The pictures are OUT OF THIS WORLD. I couldn't be happier, or more impressed. You guys are magicians with pretty eyes and great hair. Seriously. I don't know how you do what you do, but I'm blown away.
Thank you doesn't seem like enough, but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. “

It’s hard to explain how much my heart explodes when we get an email like this after I deliver a gallery. Every session is an opportunity to show folks how beautiful their love is! And bonus if they like our hair hahaha - we LOVE our couples so dang much it hurts! And engagement sessions are the bomb, you just bring your funny selves and we’ll do the rest!

For the THIRD year in a row, we received the Knot’s Best Of Weddings award and DAAAAANG we couldn’t be more grateful for our incredible couples. Like everyone in the world, nothing this year went to plan. But every reschedule, cancellation, and plan B backyard wedding proceeded with so much grace and appreciation on all sides of the equation. It’s made every session and wedding that much more precious and meaningful to us. We’re reminded this year more than most of WHY we love this work: to be of service and capture connection between people in whatever way is real to them. We love love love our clients and can’t wait for group hugs to be allowed again!

Mitchell has done it AGAIN and created the most bomb wedding film! If your heart doesn’t burst when he sees her for the first we probably shouldn’t hang out.

We officially have a new website!! We absolutely LOVE vision and design for our brand and this a day to celebrate months of work and brainstorming! The website was something I agonized over for years- it just didn’t feel like US. It’s a hard lesson to learn, but part of entrepreneurship is playing to your strengths and knowing when to collaborate with others (rather than trying to be an expert at EVERYTHING yourself).I could not be more proud of how it turned out and feel that it truly reflects our love for our couples! Feeling so polished and pro now, gonna have a little champagne

You know I’m always game for a sun flare but I’m LOVING the fall tones at this moody blue hour shoot! We looooved these two and can we all agree that beer tastes better outside? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you both for your patience with us and being so rad!

In our modern, Pinterest- inspired wedding world, the importance of your wedding day to your parents can take a back burner to the hustling and planning. I can promise you that in a decade or two, you’ll cherish photos like these a MILLION BILLION times more than anything else. Carve out space in the day to celebrate, thank, and love on your parents ❤️ Wednesday night crying brought you by the wonderful Emma and her dad

It’s finally starting to feel like home in our new place in Saint Louis, just in time for our crazy travel and shooting schedule to kick in! But we can’t wait to celebrate these two incredible souls at their woodsy wedding in Kentucky in a month!

We’ve been seeing some new friends around here lately so we wanted to introduce ourselves a bit! It’s absolutely impossible for me to talk about myself but we’re working on a sweet new website and this is what Mitchell wrote about me for our Bio page! I definitely cried and held him for a long time after reading this-⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
About Lauren (as written by Mitchell)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“If I had to whittle this magnificent woman down to one word it would be tenacious. When we first met, Lauren was tirelessly working through a tedious, male-dominated major. I quickly learned that this was to prove that those fellas had zero chance of keeping up with her. But the intimidation factor melts away the moment you meet her. She’s quick to laugh and always ready with a big hug. Lauren has accurately been described as equal parts photographer and life coach. Her unshakeable positivity and quirky nature instantly wins everyone over. The level of care she has for this work is a wonder. After a late night wedding, I’ll wake up to her beginning to edit the photos at 4am. Her gumption for life is unmatched and she is my constant source of inspiration and encouragement. If I could clone her a billion times I would, just so more people could experience her love and light.”
