Tom & Katie - Part One

Katie and Tom, we can not say enough to even begin to describe how much we loved every single minute of this Wedding! The moment we met Katie we felt like we were hanging with a long lost girlfriend. Katie is a shining star, seriously the girl lights up a room and makes everyone around her feel special. She is just an amazing person and we feel lucky not only to have been her Wedding Photographers but also to now call her friend. These two are completely crazy about each other, in a breath taking amazingly beautiful way. When we were on our way home Kelly and I both looked at each other and said, they are going to be married for the next 60+ years....no doubt. Katie and Tom met at work on a job were they "protect and serve" us...another reason to have complete admiration for these two. We loved hearing the stories of how they met but both had a significant other at the time, but always thought the other was "cute". Things happen for a reason, and God had a bigger plan for these two....a plan that led them to this beautiful amazing day!

The day started bright and early for me (Lisa), I had the pleasure of meeting Katie and capturing some of the gorgeous moments of her getting her make up done. It was a blast, her make up artist was a complete sweet heart (and a fellow inspiring Photog). I thought Katie was a stunner the first time we met her, but on her Wedding day...Wowzer!!





I love her reaction to seeing herself....so darn cute!!



Then I headed with Katie over to her parents gorgeous home. Once I met her family I immediately knew where Katie gets her "extra special something" from. Her parents and sisters and the whole family was so very welcoming. We ate lunch, talked photography and details of the day. I have never felt so completely welcomed...it was awesome!


Katie's GORGEOUS dress....which Kelly and I agree, totally was "her"! A classic beauty.

We loved that Katie chose to get ready at her parents home surrounded by just her immediate family. Having her two sisters help her get ready was so wondrous to watch.









Gurrrllll, you go on with your gorgeous self!!


While I was hanging with the ladies, Kelly was hanging with some GOR-geous men!


Love love love this of Tom's best man. We are diggin' the men in suspenders :)


Makes our hearts smile.





We love that Katie wears her heart on her sleeve.....can you tell we just adore her :)


And it's showtime......




Ummm....yeah! Amazing capture by my girl Kelly.


Not even kidding when we say this Church was Ah-mazing! St. George's rocked :)







The new Mr. & Mrs.......



We can not wait to show you the rest of this day!!! This couple is even more amazing photographed together.....stay tuned :)

  2. Kelly and Lisa,

    We wanted to say thank you for an AMAZING job capturing our day! Our entire wedding party had so much fun working with you both all day. Even a groomsman raved at how "cool" you guys were to work with! It obviously took a lot of patience and talent to take the time to pose us and capture unique images of our group- and without seeing all the images I know you did!

    Thanks for being so down to earth and taking the time to scout locations for us before the big day, the "yellow wall" was perfect!

    When a photographer will lay down in the middle of traffic lanes on Gravois Rd (at 230 pm) to capture a picture it was more than proof of dedication and that we selected the BEST photographers!!!!!!!(I think that was the most nerve wracking part of my day watching you both in acrobatic positions/suicide missions to capture the perfect shot!) haha :)

    No but seriously thanks a million, we have already referred a couple future brides! Cheers to Lisa and Kelly- and for capturing many more of our memories (maternity, baby and family pics) BUT not rushing it by any means!

    You are right, you do have a friend in me ladies!
    Love, Katie
