Liz + Mike ~ Columbia, MO Wedding Photographer

Engagement

I got together with Mike and Liz on a VERY cold day. I wish the cold weather would just give up and let Spring arrive! We ended up shooting some photos inside and just a few out. Check back in a couple months to see their wedding photos!

Lilianna Grace ~ Newborn

You might remember Amanda and Joe's maternity shoot last month. Their sweet baby girl joined them just a few weeks later. I spent a couple of hours with them and she is just precious.

Daddy is a musician so we had a little fun with the guitar and the case.

Drew + Tina Engagement

I got to meet up with Drew and Tina on the first really beautiful day of this year. We could not have asked for more perfect weather. We enjoyed the afternoon walking around Nifong Park chatting and having a good time.
Drew and Tina are getting married this summer and I wasn't available to shoot their wedding but I was so happy when they asked me to do their engagement photos! They are such a sweet couple and I wish I was able to do the wedding too!!

Tina's son Corbin joined us for a couple shots too.

Cipporah & Jaret ~ The Wedding

My first wedding of 2009 and it was wonderful! Cipporah is one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is the outside. I was amazed all day the way she handled all of the craziness around her. She and Jaret are so obviously made for each other. I feel so blessed to have been a part of their day. Click here to see their slide show!

There were a lot of people in this wedding and there were a lot of family members in town from all over the country. All of the girls got ready together in room at the new Hampton Inn.

Part of Jewish tradition is that the bride and groom must have a private moment together right after they are married. I love that! Susan grabbed this shot of that moment and I LOVE it!

Jessica and Chris ~ columbia, mo wedding photographer

Engagement

Jessica and Chris came to Columbia for their session. It was a VERY windy and cold afternoon. This may have been the quickest session I have ever done but we got some fun shots with lots of snuggling. We even had the sun peek through at the end. I don't know about you but I am so ready for spring!

Cipporah and Jaret ~ What's on deck

I just wanted to give a little taste of what is to come. Cipporah and Jaret were married this past Saturday and Susan and I had the pleasure of documenting their beautiful day. I can't wait to blog the entire wedding but for now, this will have to do.
