St. Louis Wedding, Event and Portrait Photography


Sarah + Michael Wed: September 11, 2010

Sarah & Michael were married at the beautiful St. Peter Catholic Church in St. Charles, MO on September 11, 2010. The bride looked stunning that day and everything was just to her liking.

The couple chose to have photos taken at the Forest Park Grand Basin in St. Louis, MO.  Artistic Soup Photography loves the European stone work the Grand Basin offers.  We were able to use creative angles and original poses to make the couple’s wedding a fun and memorable day for everyone.

Thank you Sarah and Michael for giving Artistic Soup Photography the honor of photographing your special day.

Jennie + Matt Wed: September 5, 2010

Artistic Soup Photography had the honor of photographing Jennie & Matt’s wedding at New Town St. Charles on September 5, 2010.  The weather was absolutely perfect for their special day and we were able to use the sunlight and the beautiful blue sky for some romantic and fun imagery.  We absolutely loved the beautiful and sophisticated floral design created by Melinda Roeleveld of Les Bouquets which wonderfully complimented the artistic photos of the couple and their wedding party.

Thank you Jennie & Matt for allowing Artistic Soup St. Louis Wedding Photography to be there to photograph your extraordinary day!

Jennie’s Review below posted on The Knot 9/20/10. Thank you so much Jennie!

When it came to planning our wedding I knew I wanted 2 things, a great dress and an amazing photographer. We got that and more with Artistic Soup! We had Angela as our lead photographer, so sweet and totally understanding as moments get overwhelming! Gara was our second photographer, she too was very sweet and took some amazing shots that I never would have dreamed of. It is truly the most amazing day of your life, and in the end your pictures are what you have left. Our pictures definitely tell a story of how amazing that day was for my husband and I. The pictures are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined and I had such a great time working with Artistic Soup!

Stephanie + Chris: Engagement Photos

Artistic Soup Photography met Stephanie & Chris on Sept. 12th, 2010 at a spot in town very meaningful to them — the Kirkwood Train Station.  For over a year they met each other there as one traveled in to town to see the other when they lived apart.  It was this long distance relationship that endured that illustrated to both of them that they were meant to be.   As captures of love and die hard romantics, we loved their story and this engagement session pays homage to it.

Look forward to capturing the big union on June 18, 2010!

Wedding Photography: Creating a Lasting Impression

What is the first thing you look for when you begin your search for a wedding photographer?  Of course, you want them to be professional and make sure that they do good quality work, but it is a sense of uniqueness that makes some wedding photographers stand out over others. Artistic Soup  Photography strives to obtain unique and creative ways to make your  wedding photos memorable to everyone.

Here is one technique that gives that added punch to photos:

Front and back lighting of the couple which creates a sort of halo effect around the person(s) in the photo (see examples below). This can be done simply and quickly without light stands but rather by using two external flashes, each used by a different photographer, setting one to master and one to slave.  In other words, when one photographer hits the shutter button, both flashes will go off adding multiple light sources in a photo making it more interesting to the eye.

When interviewing photographers be certain to ask what creative tools and techniques they use to make certain you are presented with a lasting treasure instead of a basic documentation.
