Kelly & Doug - Part 2 :):)

It was off to Forest Park for the second part of Kelly & Doug's wonderfully amazing day.  They are both runners, and Forest Park is one of their favorite spots to run.  And, even some rather brisk weather conditions couldn't affect what we were able to capture of them, and their family and friends. We even got to visit the exact spot where Doug "popped the question" :)

This was a first for us . . . we have never had a Bride & Groom do any kind of "smack-down", and I was actually surprised these turned-out pretty well.  We were both laughing so hard, that we thought they would all be ruined from camera shake.  lol!! Lucky for us they were not, and we have these to tell the story of this positively hilarious moment!

Kelly made such a stunning Bride.

And Doug thought he wasn't photogenic.....he was so wrong, are we right ladies??!? *wink wink*

These two were just so incredibly easy to photograph, they are so crazy in love....it makes everything they do just beautiful.

Our final wedding of 2011 also granted us the present of the most amazingly beautiful sunset we had seen all year.

After the park, we headed to Washington Ave. for some outdoor shots, and their reception location of Windows on Washington!

We had literally been dying with anticipation to be able to get this shot with those Holiday lights criss-crossing Washington behind them, and wha-la here you have our perspectives ;)

Time to get the party started, and what a party it was!! A great time was had by all.

Kelly & Doug, we would officially like to request an application to be a part of your "Inner Circle."  We absolutely love your friends, and we were wondering what it takes to be part of the gang?! lol

Doug & Kelly,

Wow! What a way to wrap up our record year of Weddings. We enjoyed

every single moment of your day. Kelly and I literally could feel the amount of love

that surrounded you two on that day. It was a complete honor, thank you so much for asking

 us to be your Photographers.

We know you will have the most amazing life together.

All our best!!

Lisa & Kelly

Kelly & Doug Part 1 :)

Our final wedding of 2011 was nothing short of pure awesomeness.  We were blessed once again with a wonderful couple, and their equally wonderful friends and family to work with throughout the day.  It was the perfect finale to our amazing year of weddings.

The weather also chose to remain kind, and granted us reasonable weather for outdoor shots in the middle of November!!!  We were super happy photogs!

We began their day with some getting ready shots with the girls at Kelly & Doug's home.

We loved Kelly's cute ballet flats...a little rock n roll flair :)

 Kelly & her Mom

Kelly gave all her Bridesmaids hand written letters for them to open on the Wedding day, such a heartwarming touch.

 Doug's bubbly Sister, who btw, had this smile displayed for all, throughout the entire day :)

 Loved, loved, loved being able to watch Doug open Kelly's little wedding day gift to him.

Kelly had lots of hands and a room full of loving friends and family while she got into her dress and added some finishing touches.

The box for the rings was hand made by Kelly & Doug....beautiful!

Love this last little glimpse between Kelly & her Dad right as they started walking down the isle.

 Doug's full-of-happiness "first look" at Kelly.

Love a high-fiving groom :)

Doug & Kelly,

We were so honored to be chosen as your Photographers. It

was so incredible witnessing the amount of love and support

that surrounded you two the entire day. We can't wait to show

you the amazingness that is the second half of your day :)

Merry Christmas!!

Lisa & Kelly
