leah + james :: st louis, mo

Everyone loves Leah + James.  How could you not?  They are super sweet, kind, sincere and generous.  They are so loved, their friends took the time to put on a surprise flash mob at their reception!   The couple went to college together yet didn’t start dating until their paths crossed by chance on the streets of New York City.  Their bi-coastal relationship was so strong that Leah eventually moved to LA to be with the man of her dreams.

Both being from the midwest, Leah + James chose the beautiful St Louis setting of the Lemp Mansion as the background for their wedding.  For those of you unfamiliar with this venue, it has many hats.  Not only is it a wedding venue, it is also a restaurant, dinner theater and supposedly it’s haunted!  (although we didn’t see any ghosts)  It was the perfect setting for Leah and James very classy, vintage wedding!

Every bride should have THIS much fun at her wedding.  Congrats again you two!!

Leah + James Vendors (all highly recommended!)

    siblings! :: st louis, mo

    There’s something so amazing about the light in St Louis in autumn.  As the weather cools and the days shorten, something in the daylight changes too.  Golden beams of sunlight reflect off the edges of the changing leaves and everything feels clean and crisp.  It’s such a lovely time of year for portraits!  This family…
