Sarah & Jason ~ Columbia, MO Wedding Photographer

Sarah and Jason were married on January 2nd in St. Charles, MO. It was sooooo COLD! But, that didn’t matter. The day was incredibly beautiful and warm. Not to mention the place they were married (The Conservatory) looked like a we were in a beautiful garden in the middle of the summer. I have known Sarah since she was in Jr High so this was extra special for me to be able to document the beginning of her new life with Jason. So happy for them both!

Kami & Joseph~ Columbia, MO Wedding Photographer

Wedding of a Friend

Kami and I go waaaaayyyy back. Okay, not that far but we were roommates in college and a couple of years after college. When she told me she was getting married, I could not have been happier for her. I was not officially the photographer but she had a super small wedding at her mother’s house with NO photographer so, I just couldn’t let that happen!

Isn’t she gorgeous?!
