Even though we moved to St. Louis we spent a good portion of our fall shooting in Kansas City. There was something nice and familiar about heading back to KC each weekend. That feeling of familiarity was even stronger when we made the drive in for Manuel and Caitlin’s  (friends turned clients) wedding. Their day was simple and sweet, which fit them to a tee, and we had a great time exploring a new pocket of downtown with them.

My friend Stacey even tagged along to shoot film & Polaroids.

As we get ready to get out of town for a much needed vacation we leave you with Ryan & Amber’s engagement session. I’ve been super excited to share these amazing people with you. The incredible group at The Gifted Wedding are helping to give them the wedding of their dreams. This organization that helps give people with unique financial situations an amazing wedding.

Ryan and Amber’s daughter Harper is fighting a pediatric cancer so rare they could have won the lottery twice with better odds. Please take the time to visit The Gifted Wedding’s website and read their story. We’re so honored to be working with these people of such strength.

I’ve been very excited to show everyone this slideshow. It’s a hybrid stop motion/photo slideshow. Be sure to watch all the way through because it includes a 6 block walking stop motion of The Loop in St Louis.
