This is pretty much the most excited I have ever been to post an engagement photo, because this time it is my beautiful SISTER and her fiance Chris!  They got engaged in December and waited until Christmas to surprise my parents, my 100 year old grandmother, and Chris's entire family.  Since they live in New York, I haven't seen them since our family reunion in August.  We spent the (very cold) day wandering around Central Park.  Enjoy the preview :)

I am honored and excited to be featured on wedding blog the Landlocked Bride today!  It's a great resource for brides and grooms planning their wedding in the Midwest.  Check out Jessica + Lial's Central West End engagement session feature here!

I met Jessica and Lial on a beautiful fall afternoon in the Central West End for their engagement photos.  The first half were taken on one of my favorite streets (I'm not telling which one ;) and afterwards we headed to downtown CWE for some photos in front of their favorite hang outs.  I got a little nostalgic on this trip to St. Louis especially listening to Jessica + Lial tell me about their first date at Llewellyn's Pub and how Lial proposed over Fro Yo (yum!)  I love the architecture of the CWE and how it blended perfectly with Jessica and Lial's sophisticated sense of style.  These two made some gorgeous images and I can't wait for their wedding next June.  Especially after Jessica told me she will be wearing her grandmother's/mom's wedding dress for part of the day (I love vintage.)  Enjoy the images!

The lovely Janie over at The Bride's Cafe chose Niki and Nick's engagement session to be featured on the blog today!  Yayy!  Congratulations Niki and Nick!  Head on over to The Bride's Cafe to check out the feature and leave me some comment love :)
