Things I Love {2012 Recap} Springfield, MO Photographers

2012 has been quite the adventure! We have photographed everything from a backyard wedding to a old police station reception. Photography took us to different states and cities and I am so grateful for all the fun we had. A big THANK YOU to all of our wonderful portrait and wedding clients. I can't express enough gratitude to you all! :-) Below is a little recap of where we traveled and who we've photographed. When I started to put this post together, I realized I could spend a week gathering images from all that we've done this year. Below are just a few ;-) Love and hugs to you all!

Lots of instagrams and plenty of time spent in photobooths ;-) @christinebonnivier @eliseabigailphoto @alissa_beaty

We exhibited in 4 local Bridal Shows

We were featured in Metropolitan Bridal Magazine TWICE :-) 

Alissa got engaged & Elise tied the knot!!!!

A ton of time spent behind the camera of course. Image by Christi Clark

Then a whole lot of time spent in the office behind the computer. haha! It was all worth it because we blessed 30 couples & countless families with beautiful photographs :-) 

LOVE!

Lord knows how many images we took!!!

We traveled to St. Louis, Kansas City, Philadelphia & Wichita to photograph nuptials 

Yes, I actually spent 5 hours on a bicycle this September during Jess & Troy's bicycle tour through St. Louis. It was amazing! 

What makes my job the best...celebrations never disappoint! 

Things I Love Thursday: ♥STL Forever♥ {Personal} St. Louis, MO Wedding Photographers

If you follow me on facebook, you know I had quite the exciting time this past weekend. :-) Friday Alissa & I photographed Carrie & Lee's wedding and Saturday Elise & I headed up to St. Louis for Jess & Troy's extravaganza. I plan on having their post complete tomorrow! So stoked to show everyone! I have to say, Jess & Troy pulled it off! They are Iowa natives and lived in STL for grad school. Though they live in LA now, they returned to St. Louis for their nuptial. All of their friends and family traveled great distances to attend and it was a super exhilarating day, :-) The couple wed at the Old Cathedral & afterward their family, bridal party & photographer accompanied them on a bicycle tour through the city. ;-) We spent 5 hours, picnicking, photographing & biking around different St. Louis neighborhoods & landmarks. The reception was at a historic police station called the Mad Art Gallery. Super cool! The next day Elise & I enjoyed a peaceful morning at our hotel room, snapped a few in front of the arch & then headed to the Galleria to shop a bit before heading back to Springfield.

I hope you enjoy some of the images from our weekend! :-)

Jazz, swing, rhythm & blues band: Miss Jubilee rocked the house!!
