- forever a sucker for these moody, rainy Wedding days.. 🌧💍

October was full of Weddings at Hermann Hill for us this year, and in no way are we complaining! As a preferred vendor of theirs, we've been able to create lifelong memories for our clients, and I have a feeling we did the exact same for Ben + Annie.

I drove all the way to Cape Girardeau, Missouri for their engagement session when I first met Ben + Annie last year, and I knew then that we had such an exciting day ahead of us when their Wedding arrived! As expected, their day was full of laughs and moments that I was so excited to be capturing for them -- (even if it rained, non-stop, from the begging of the day to the end).

We can't wait to share Ben + Annie's teaser next, but until then, enjoy a sneak peek at their beautiful, wet and perfect day. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- did we make them run through fields of gold? Absolutely.. 😍🌾

If there is one thing we've never been shy about, it's making sure that we capture all of the "Hallmark Sh*t". Yes, you read that right.. "HALL-MARK-SH*T". We've been saying it for years, and anyone that's ever worked with us will know exactly what we're talking about. All of those cheesy, laughing, dramatic shots you see in Wedding films? That's what we want, and we WILL get it!

Kolten + Kamryn gave us all of that and more, and we couldn't help but feel giddy as we watched all of the footage back. Those sunset shots?! Get out of here. Sit down. Game over. We can't wait for these two to see what we have in store for them! Congratulations, you two!

- "the scoreboard looks very different when we start talking about love.." 🏐💍

We love a good ceremony, and these two arguably had one of the best we've witnessed all year. Quinton and Morgan's officiant did such an incredible job at holding their guests attention, so much so that we forgot at one point that we were working and not attending! All of this to say, these two had the most incredible day surrounded by friends and family that kept everything light and enjoyable -- exactly what Quinton and Morgan deserved. Congratulations, you two!

- all the way from New Jersey, meet Mr. & Mrs. John Barron.. 👏💍

Weddings at Hermann Hill will never get old. We've been shooting with them as a preferred vendor for as long as we can remember, and the memories made there with our clients, as well as other vendors, are engraved in our memory forever. Newest to the list, is John + Faith Barron.

These two brought so much kindness and soul into their Wedding Day! We laughed; we danced -- we enjoyed the experience of celebrating love between two of the kindest clients we've ever had. We hope so much for the happiest future between these two, and we can't wait to deliver their full album. Congratulations, newlyweds!

- alexa, play 'All of The Lights' by Kanye West.. ✨💍

This is the song that played as these two entered into their reception, and lets be real -- it was the perfect choice. Fast cars, shooting stars, Jaeden + Emma. We rewrote the lyrics, you're welcome.

It was incredibly apparent just much love surrounded these two from the moment we arrived. If their Wedding party wasn't hyping them up with energy we haven't seen in YEARS, then their family was checking in to make sure they soaked in every moment. Can we talk about that MOH speech? Out here keeping Kleenex in business, no doubt.

Needless to say, these two also clearly chose a team of vendors that only wanted to see these two have the best celebration possible, and if you ask us.. they most certainly did. We can't wait to show these two what we have in store for them, however until then, here's a sneak peak at Jaeden + Emma's special day! Congratulations, newlyweds!

• Klondike Park, you really never disappoint.. 💍👌

We had so much fun shooting with Caleb + Amanda this past weekend in Augusta, Missouri. They'll be tying the knot next year at one of our favorite venues -- Hermann Hill. If their engagement photographs turned out this gorgeous, just wait until we have them cliffside at sunset.

It will be here before you know it, newlyweds! See you soon!

• all further engagement sessions will be held in downtown Washington, Missouri because.. 💍😍

This. This is that time of year where all of the colors are just right and our photographs are rich with those autumn hues and saturation. It also helps when you have a couple as photogenic as Andrew + Emma. We cannot wait to document their special day next year and have no doubt that it will be one for the books -- I mean, look at them.

Congratulations, newlyweds!

- hold up, did he just say what we think he did.. 😳🤣

The majority of ceremonies that we film tend to be full of emotion, and tears, and you know -- all the wedding day things! However, every once in a while, an officiant comes along and says, "eh -- not my style". The laughs were roaring throughout this Wedding Day and we had such a memorable experience working with Dylan + Mattie. Thunderstorms, fist bumps and spicy ceremony talk -- what more could you ask for? If this is any indication of what their future together looks like, The Terrell's have a lot to look forward to, (even the arguments).

• "I would rather share one lifetime with you, than face all the ages of this world alone.." 💍🥹

Jacob had the above words engraved on Sarah's engagement ring, a quote from Arwen in 'The Lord of The Rings'. We love to see unique and special sentiments like this! These two, (soon to be 3), have us so excited for their special day next year. We can't wait to share their full album with them, however until then, here is a sneak peek at their golden hour engagement session in Forrest Park this past weekend.

Congratulations, you two!

- these two certainly know how to make an entrance.. 🤣👏

If the word "fun" had a picture in the dictionary, it would surely be of these two. Between all of the smiles and the tears, (and there were a lot), these two shared nothing but laughs from the beginning of the day to the end. Capturing the love they share was so effortless for us and it truly translated so well in their teaser!

Brenden + Shelby have so much to look forward to in their Wedding Film and we can't wait to share it with them! Until then, enjoy a sneak peak of what will forever be one of our favorite couples.

• engagement sessions are in full swing.. 💍🌾

We’re sharing more examples than usualfrom our session with Ashton + Viridiana because full transparency, we couldn’t narrow down our favorites! These two have a chemistry that made photographing them so fun. If this was a look into what their Wedding day is going to be like, we have A LOT to look forward to with these two!

Happy Engagement, you two!

- these two are living proof of “when you know, you know”. 😍💍

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Rolla, Missouri is where this love story takes place. Hayden + Drew are one of the youngest couples we’ve had the pleasure of filming this year, however their love for one another was easily one of the strongest examples we’ve witnessed. Stolen glances, many tears and an abundance of special moments are full to the brim in this Wedding film — and we can’t wait for them to see it. For now, enjoy a sneak peak into what will undoubtedly be a day these two never forget.
