St Louis Wedding Photography | Courtney & Ian Tower Grove Park Engagement

Tower Grove Park | Spring Engagement Photos

St Louis Wedding Photography

For Courtney & Ian we happily scheduled two engagement sessions. A lovely fall engagement session at Shaw Nature Reserve, which you can view HERE , and a spring engagement session at Tower Grove Park. The location was swarmed by bridal parties and prom groups also looking to capitalize on the beautiful blooms, but we found a way to work around it all.

We had a great time wandering a beautiful park, enjoying the great weather but we finished on a real high note by ending our session at Ted Drewes.

High School Senior Photography | Lombard, IL

Last weekend we photographed my cousin, Trevor, who is graduating from High school next month. It was a great excuse to head to the suburbs of Chicago and visit some family. One part work, one part just visiting friends, relatives and having a good old time. We’re looking forward to heading back to Chicago in a couple months for his graduation party!

St Louis Wedding Photography | For The Moment Photography

Carl and Danielle met in college. They both went to Mizzou for Business, had friends in common, were in the same Business Fraternity, and attended some of the same parties… Yet they fell in love in large part due to a 28 inch fur hat.

One night, about five years ago, Carl and his roommates at Mizzou threw a theme party. The theme: dress up as something that starts with the letter “B”.  Danielle, with exceptional confidence, determined that “B” stood for Band Leader. She procured the uniform of the leader of a marching band, complete with massive furry hat. Carl was intrigued.

After that, Carl and Danielle were hanging  out almost every day, with Carl even playing his guitar and crooning just for Danielle. In the intervening years, they have grown closer and closer.

We very much look forward to their stylish Art Deco inspired wedding at the Thaxton this September, and until then we will ponder the pivotal role of one particular fuzzy hat, from many moons ago.

xoxo Dustin & Amanda

Crêpes on a Snowy Day

When a blizzard strikes in March, what do you do?! Brunch!

When I was growing up my family ate crêpes almost every week. My Grandmother and Great Grandparents are from The Netherlands, so some of our family traditions have distinctly European origins. Whenever we can steal away time to get together as a family these crêpes are one of our most anticipated treats!

My mixing bowls are from my Great Grandmother. She handed this recipe down and I imagine the bowls remember how she used to make these crêpes which may account for why they turn out so well.

The Recipe:

-Relaxing music (French perhaps?)

-2 eggs

-3/4 cup of milk

-1/2 cup of water

-1 cup of flour

-1/8 tsp of salt

-1/8 tsp of sugar

-1 tsp of vanilla

-1 tsp of melted butter

1. Whisk the eggs, milk, water and vanilla in a mixing bowl.

2. Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a separate mixing bowl.

3. Gradually add the flour-salt-sugar mixture to the “step one” liquid and beat with whisk until smooth.

4. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to let the bubbles escape.

5. Add melted butter to a frying pan to create a non-stick surface. Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, add batter to pan and rotate pan in circular motion to evenly distribute batter (It’s all in the wrist). Cook for a few minutes on each side until the crêpe reaches a golden color. Repeat.

Serve with fresh berries, honey, syrup, powdered sugar etc. This time we enjoyed filling the crêpes with lemon curd and raspberries for a tart variety.

Enjoy!

St Louis Wedding Photography | Matt & Cheryl’s O’Fallon IL Wedding

Matt & Cheryl

O’Fallon IL Waterfall Ceremony

St Louis Wedding Photography | For The Moment Photography

They planned a simple ceremony near an appealing water feature, a beautiful plan despite the unplanned blistering cold winds.

When we met with Matt & Cheryl, they were worried that it would rain on their wedding day. The long-awaited week had seemed promising, just the day before we enjoyed sunny skies and a high of 55 degrees. However, weather in the mid-west does what it wants when it wants. Warm one day, thunder-snow the next etc.

Gusting winds, and a blast of arctic air hit the day of. Cheryl was amazing and braved the chilling breeze in her beautiful strapless gown, drawing Matt close as a shield against the wind and for a few moments of warmth.  Despite the rude weather, it was still an exciting and happy day for our new couple.

St Louis Wedding Photography | Nashville, IL Engagement Photos with Brittany & Chris

Nashville, IL | Engagement Photos

St Louis Wedding Photography | For The Moment Photography

“Crazy, but I guess you could say it was love at first sight!” – Brittany

Enter: Highschool. Chris was a Junior, he was on the football team. Brittany was a freshman, she was on the volleyball team. The school year was rapidly drawing to a close with long summer days approaching. Despite their busy schedules Chris asks her out. The first date goes very well, but Chris was too nervous to call for a second date. Brittany patiently waits one week…

They set up for a second date.  Then a third, fourth, fifth and so on.

Chris and Brittany felt comfortable with each other and loved spending time together. They even enjoyed being with each other’s family and friends. When things click like that, you don’t ignore it.

Chris and Brittany have been together for almost 10 years! We are really looking forward to being part of their Wedding day.

This engagement session, in Nashville IL, was a study in timing.

The engagement session was planned weeks in advance but the day of began with precipitation, wind and cold. Why do we see no rainy gray photos? Because the weather cleared mere hours before the session, leaving it a bit blustery, but with beautiful lighting and a picturesque sky.

The opportune timing culminated in a fiery sunset at the outskirts of Nashville, we just pulled over and started shooting. Open sky, a fun couple, and enthusiastic passersby waving and honking as we worked.  It seemed everybody was excited about Chris and Brittney’s upcoming Winter Wedding.

St Louis Wedding Photographers | The Bride & Her Flower Girl

St Louis Wedding Photography | For The Moment Photography

Life is defined by moments flying by in the blink of an eye. As I am editing Rachel & Kelly’s wedding photographs this series of photos struck me as being a beautiful example of just that. Rachel took time on her wedding day to carefully place a flower crown on her flower girl. The little lady’s excitement as she ran to see herself in the mirror was adorable. Only a handful of seconds, but well worth preserving.
