For the last two years, I have been implementing this moto "the photos are about the day, the day... is not about photos". After documenting 150+ weddings in the last 9 years, the thought stuck with me. More often than not, couples stress themselves to exhaustion worrying about the "perfect" day. Perfect weather, perfect timeline, perfect photo opportunities, just total perfection. The reality is that no day is perfect! Your wedding is not a theatrical production, it is a day to unite as one and celebrate your love. Your photos should reflect THAT, and that is something that I am incredibly passionate about.

Valerie + Maurico gave me instructions to document the authenticity of their day. They wanted candid photos that emulated the warmth of their Italy inspired family dinner at Valerie's family home and photos that truly reflected their lifelong commitment to each other. I was specifically asked not to spend much time on any posed photos, so I hope that as they (and you) look through these - you can feel the beauty of a wedding that that actually happened. No staging, no production, no perfectly composed portraits... just love.

It's crazy to think that one day, I picked up a camera for $200 on Craigslist and then spent the next 9 years photographing weddings...

These are some of the most referenced photos used by my couples when we discuss their "must haves". I think you would say this is our Hall of Fame?

I, like so many other photographers, simply can’t keep up with the flooding comments on these posts and I’m at a loss.

For the last 9 years, I have served the Missouri area as one of the most affordable wedding photographers… I’ve been published in magazines, my work has been printed on billboards across Jefferson/St Louis County, I’m on some extremely desirable venue lists of preferred vendors, and I have a reputation of providing beautiful + timeless wedding photos/videos - yet the time has come for me to ask all of you for help.

Word of mouth is the MOST powerful tool for advertising. Your personal recommendations and referrals may be the only way I can keep my business alive.

Moving forward, from today 02/19/26 and on, for every couple that books with me from your referral, I will pay you a finders fee. Once the contract is signed and retainer is paid - you will receive an instant payout of $50 via Venmo, Apple Pay, or PayPal. No raffles, no free/discounted photgraphy sessions, etc.
Actual money in your pocket! So if you know someone planning their wedding and looking for a photographer, please send them my way!

If you read this far, thank you.
From the bottom of my heart, and my family, thank you.

It's important to consider all possible conditions of your wedding day when choosing your venue. Deb + Jay were married on a frigid December day with temps in the teens - and a surprise snow fall during the reception. Luckily for them, Haue Valley meticulously designed this bridal suite and we were able to use it as a studio to maximize photo possibilities when they had enough of the cold weather!
