Happy anniversary to Megan and Paul! In August 2010 we joined them on a rainy day as they were wed in absolute bliss. On their first anniversary we joined them again at Forest Park in St. Louis, Missouri and this time the rain held off! We started at the Muny and the Art Museum, then a few fountains around the park before we headed down to the St. Louis Arch and court house. Such a sweet afternoon with the happy couple. And they both loved the opportunity to wear their wedding gear again! What a great anniversary session!

A wonderful wedding on a dinner cruise on Lake George in upstate New York! Surrounded by family and friends brought laughter, comical moments, tears of love and a fabulous evening of memories. Best of luck to the couple. Here’s to many years of happiness and love!

The new company, Defy Photography LLC has been busy photographing family sessions, birthday parties, engagement sessions and of course weddings. Here are a few of my favorites from our first Georgia Wedding. Even though the weather was not sunny there was still a lot of love and happiness expressed on this joyous day.

Another wonderful wedding at the Beall Mansion in Alton, Illinois! Between the flowers and the sun light there was a beautiful blend of fall tones. This bride was a perfectly radiant lady and we loved all the natural light that joined us on this special day. Congratulations for these two! Many years of smiling, laughing and loving together!

This wedding was truly a celebration, bringing two together while others celebrated 30 and 60 years of marriage!

Here’s to see these newly weds in 60 years at their grandchildrens’ wedding! Congratulations!

A backyard lake side ceremony was the setting for this sweet fall wedding. Many tender moments shared and lots of family photos taken! The afternoon with completed with a grand exit through the bubbles! Many wishes and happy years to the newly weds!

Amy and Tom had a beautiful wedding with tears of joy and smiles filled with love! And with the help of the maid of honor and best man, we captured some fun photos on the golf course following the reception. Congratulation to the wonderful couple!

In late August Megan and Paul were married at a Presbyterian church in the Central West End. We then enjoyed time at Forest Park taking photographs at the Muny and one of the many wonderful waterfalls. Whether you have rain or sunshine, Forest Park always has options for your wedding day portraits!

Julie and Mike tied the knot! We had a fabulous engagement session back in May and then this August there was many smiles and looks of joy as these two wonderful people exchanged vows. It was a great honor to work for this bride and her father, for these two are some of the first ever to introduce me to the world of photography. The whole wedding party was a thrill to work with, especially the two lovely flower girls! Wishing Julie and Mike many long years of happiness and laughter!
