Soulard was the setting for Allison and Krieg’s session. No they aren’t engaged (yet he he) but they have been dating for three years. Hmm I think. From what she says, there was no formal asking. She told me that they hung out all the time and one day he said “I’m glad you are my girlfriend”, or something like that lol. So that is the beginning of their story. I think it’s cute and it rings familiar to me. My fella and I just happened. Friends that happened to kiss one night out on the town. Then the dating began and months later we got married and then here we are… happily chaotic together forever!! It was great hanging out with these two crazy kids, so young, so in love and they really have their heads on straight. It’s always a joy to meet young (like I am sooo old or something) folks who are working hard to reach their goals. Allison dreams of becoming a wedding planner and Krieg has high ambitions on becoming a welder and joining the Air Force. I like them… I like them a lot!! And I only hope for fantastic things for them!! Thanks Allison and Krieg for hanging out and being YOU!
Allison has an amazing way to her. She has that, light up the room personality! When she smiles, well we all smile. She’s contagious! I even loved hearing her messages on my voice mail! She’s simply fantastic I tell ya!
Good luck you two wild and crazy kids!! I look forward to seeing where you will go!!

I had the pleasure of being a 2nd shooter a few weeks back. It had been years since I was the side kick, and honestly I loved it. It gave me the chance to see someone else be in charge. I got to work beside my dear friend and fellow photographer Donna from Design Imaging. We had a bast and her couple was amazing! Everyone was so laid back and cool. And the day was magnificent! I’ve never shot a wedding at a winery and was thrilled when Donna informed me of the beautiful location. I met her out at the beautiful Villa Antonia Winery in Hillsboro, MO. If you are looking for a quaint little retreat to run away to and have a jaw dropping event, this is the place. The staff was superb and the food was yumtastic! So with out further ado I will leave you some images that I got to capture. Thank you Donna for allowing me this opportunity and I look forward to working together again soon!!
I love the little details of this wedding. She gave out fans to everyone. It’s so nice when they think of their guests. And when you see the unity sand you will be blown away. I have never seen anything like this and I was very impressed. I wish I would have found out where they got that at… hmm I might have to investigate. I do have a wedding in 4 years and a few months. ;o)
As the main photographer I am the one who usually is with the bride the entire day. When I have a 2nd shooter I send them off to hang with the guys. So this day I got to hang with the guys and I had a blast. They were so easy and entertaining!
Ok next up the kiss and the guest book. I loved the guest book idea so much! They had pictures of each of their guests, not sure they were able to do that but I am sure with a small intimate wedding it wouldn’t be that difficult. They had a table set up for the guests to come and take a scalloped edged peice of paper to write a nice note on. It was great. I love it when they make it personal!
I always imagined a winery wedding would be timeless and romantic. Well this wedding proved me right!
And finally, in honor of my daddy who passed 4 years ago this coming week the father daughter dance. I miss him greatly and another reason to add to the list of many, WHY I LOVE MY JOB, because at each and every wedding I am reminded of him, our love, our understanding and our bond. That even though he’s not present, he is forever with me in spirit and heart. And all of us daddy’s girls know… that we may be bigger but we still can remember dancing on daddy’s toes.
