Mr & Mrs Parker, Wedding Day The Millbottom Jefferson City, Missouri

Weddings 9 . 5 . 19

Congrats to Liz & Kyle! I don’t even know where to start with this beautiful day! Liz and Kyle are the sweetest, the way they look at each with adoration is a testament to their relationship. I met Liz at her cousins wedding a few years ago, where she was the maid of honor. I loved her bubbly personality and I think she has the most amazing hair! Ha! In all seriousness, I was so excited when they contacted me about photographing their wedding. To work with their family again was a complete honor and privilege. I knew the day would be beautiful and full of love.

She had an amazing line up of vendors to help with this special day. From the decor to locations everything was perfect. After getting ready at her parents home, they held their wedding ceremony at Immaculate Conception Church in Jefferson City. After the ceremony, we went to the family farm house for pictures. This home was her grandma’s and holds lots of special childhood memories. They even waded the creek together she used to frequent when she was a child.

After a little trolley fun downtown, the couple and friends arrived at the Millbottom for the reception. Theresa Heckman, once again, created a beautiful space for all the reception festivities! One of my favorite parts of the evening, was her Dad’s toast. I don’t think many had a dry eye. After having 3 older boys, Liz is his little girl. Lots of great memories and highlights from this wedding, as you scroll, check out those adorable flower girls and amazing florals by Sugarberry Blooms!

Wishing you many years of health and happiness, thanks for allowing me to be apart of this day!

How fun it was working with Grace! I photographed her older sister last year, so it was so awesome to work with their family again! Grace was a dream to work with, she is so beautiful and photogenic.

Mr & Mrs Littrell, Wedding Day Simmons Stables Mexico, Missouri

Weddings 7 . 23 . 19

An enormous CONGRATS to Clayton and Courtney! I knew this was going to be a joy-filled day and it did not disappoint. I can’t pinpoint the best part of the day…. Sweet letters and gifts, excited friends and family, best first look ever, happy tears, sweet toasts, choreographed father/daughter dance….It was all perfect! Also, Courtney, she was a vision. The epitome of a classic bride. She is also a very talented lady, she did her own invitations and arranged all of the bouquets!

The girls started off at The Strand Salon for hair and make-up before making their way to the Newman Center for their ceremony. Once everyone was dressed and ready, Clayton and Courtney exchanged sweet notes and gifts before their first look. We went to Mizzou campus for their first look. It was one of the best ever, Clayton’s expression was priceless! After their ceremony, everyone went to Mexico for the reception. Simmon’s Stables has rich history in the community and Clayton’s mom was part of the preservation team to restore it back to its original glory. It was a neat location for the reception and held strong meaning for the family.

I am so happy for these two as they start their lives together, thanks for allowing me to be apart of this wonderful day. I am beyond happy to have met this sweet couple and wish them all life’s greatest blessings!
