Introducing – Bouquet charms!

Is there a special someone that can’t be with you on your wedding day? Give them a special place of honor or memory with a Bouquet Charm! These little pieces of jewelry can be incorporated into your bouquet, and used later on a charm bracelet, or key chain.

Charms are contemporary styled, completely sealed and water-tight so the image will not be damaged from moisture.

This size is also perfect for new parents.

What a great event at the St Louis Science Center tonight! Jon Brown and I had the honor photographing “An Evening of Aloha with the Mighty Mo”.  An inspirational evening celebrating the 65th anniversary year of the end of WWII which took place on the battleship USS Missouri – the Mighty MO (BB-63)! And the impending launch of the newest nuclear submarine, the USS Missouri (SSN-780).  I was very moved by the presentation of history from Mr. Michael Carr, General McNabb, Rr Adm Metcalf, and Mr Doug King.

Lesly Bickel from the Governor’s office displayed pieces from the USS Missouri Silver Collection; which now resides at Missouri State  Governor’s Mansion

But one of the most moving pieces for me tonight, was a painting by St. Louis  artisan Melinda Lutke.  It was an artists rendition of the Might MO during battle.  The colors told such an amazing story.  I felt the pride and glory the ship stood for, and the valor she endured.  It  made me weep.

When the USS Missouri went into dry dock for repairs and reconditioning,  many of the bolts or rivets had to be removed and replaced, as well much of the teak deck.  As we left tonight each person was given a small purple bag – in it, a piece of history – a rivet from the Might Mo.

Thank you to the Battleship Missouri Memorial,  General McNabb,  Rear Adm. Metcalf, and Doug King and everyone at the SLSC for allowing us this honor tonight.

Serious photographers that love to shoot together – and have a little fun too!

We thought we would share with our readers some tips we like to pass along to our brides. Check back often as this list will be continually be updated.

1. No matter where you get dressed, have a flat sheet handy to wrap around your gown so you don’t get any dirt on it when going through doorways, up stairs, or getting in/out of cars.

2. Hire a professional make-up artist for the day of your wedding. I know, I know, “but I put my make-up on everyday, why do I need someone else to do it for my wedding?” Because certain undertones of foundations look better in photographs and the make-up artist knows how to apply your make-up for best coverage and longevity. But ALWAYS do a trial run.

3. If you can, do a pre-bridal session. This session is usually done in-studio about four to six weeks prior to the wedding. Typically, it’s the same day you have your test hair and make-up done, and your gown has had all alterations completed. The bridal session actually serves many purposes. 1. You have a full understanding of how long it will take for you to get ready on the day of your wedding. It’s like a practice run. 2. You become more comfortable moving around in your gown. 3. You will see how everything comes together, hair, make-up, gown, veil, accessories, etc. And the really great thing is now you have time to make any changes or adjustments before the wedding. Every bridal session we have photographed, the bride has changed something for the day of the wedding. Normally, it’s just tweaking the hair or make-up but sometimes, it’s a complete accessory change.

Check back often for updates!
