Chelsea + Andy Part 1: Engaged

So, here's another one of those sessions I never got the chance to blog due to the craziness of pregnancy, being sick, work, etc. But here they are now and this is just be beginning! Check back soon to see Chelsea and Andy's WEDDING sneak peek!

I love this couple. They were extremely comfortable in front of the camera and they are just fun people to be around in general! Oh, and I want to steal all of Chelsea's clothes.

Brian + Megan: Married

Brian and Megan were my first wedding near Columbia. They had their ceremony at the Les Bourgeois Winery in Boonville, Missouri. The two of them went to Mizzou and when we met up for coffee for their consultation I felt like I had known them forever! If it weren't for my little sister getting engaged the night before, I could have stayed there all day just chatting away! We are even planning a double date back to the Winery, once I am back in "drinking condition" aka once Ethan has arrived!

Megan and Brian opted for a First Look! They saw each other for the first time during this special moment with just the two of them. I would never pressure anyone into during a first look, but let me tell you, they make for a much smoother day! Not only do the bride and groom get a moment of privacy to share their first glance of one another on their wedding day, but doing pictures before the ceremony makes for a fun and relaxed wedding day...in my humble yet accurate opinion!







And without a first look, we never would have gotten these two shots! Brian asked Megan to do a little spin so that he could get a look at her in her wedding dress from head to toe. And of course, he didn't want to feel left out, so he returned the favor by giving Megan a twirl for her viewing pleasure!




























So excited the she put a ring on it!

Once again, Thank you Megan and Brian for being such sweet people and such an easy couple to work with!!
