We love big cities, we love small country towns and everything in between but what we love most is individual style in these places and a well executed theme throughout. From the beginning to the end the wedding of Leslie Shaffar and Evan LaBoube on May 15, 2010 emanated individual style and we loved every moment of it!
The day began at Evan’s father’s home which was a peaceful countryside oasis that included a pond, walkway and red stadium seating for two which was an adorable accent. This is where the couple choose to see each other in wedding attire for the first time…what a romantic setting.
The Ceremony and reception festivities were held at the Washington Missouri’s Farmer’s Market. The setting was reminiscient of what I would have imagined a Mark Twain river town wedding would have been encompassing mason jar candle holders, a wide assortment of baked goods displayed on tables, a game board trunk and potted plants for all their guests. All the details were beautifully executed by Katie of Engaging Events.
Leslie and Evan thank you for allowing us to capture your unique vision. We loved it and so happy you loved your photos!

Thank you Leslie !
Angela was our photographer for our May 15, 2010 wedding. We could not be any happier with our photos. She is a true professional and has a very warm personality that makes it easy to forget she’s holding a camera. 🙂
We loved her, our families loved her, and I will recommend Artistic Soup to every bride-to-be I come in contact with.
The Hare Family is near and dear to our hearts. Artistic Soup Photography began photographing them when little Ronin was just 3 months old. Now he is a big boy of 2 years old…almost 3… and is expecting a little brother. We were excited to hear about the new addition and to photograph the family & soon-to-be baby Lyon before his birth.






Often as we are photographing weddings guests ask us what is with all that stuff attached to you and why? So here is a full dissection of gear as well as the reasons behind “The Stuff.”
You will see differences amongst professional photographers’ gear. Every person has their own individual way to work. Some prefer Nikon to Canon. And some prefer light brackets to the modern diffuser options. Either way works, but despite the nuances pro wedding photographers need to have a certain amount of gear to handle all the lighting situations thrown their way throughout the course of the day; have in their possession professional grade equipment as well as back up equipment; and be prepared to work quickly over an extended period of time. The equipment does not make the photographer. Talent and creativity make the photographic artist, but a certain amount of tools in the toolbox and a certain amount of investment in gear is needed to insure each wedding goes seamlessly. Equipment goes down, things malfunction but if properly prepared it does not matter…a beautiful record of the bride and groom’s special day will result regardless.
Artistic Soup Wedding Photography takes its role at your wedding or event very seriously and leaves nothing to chance. We are experienced professionals with an educational background in photography, extensive hands-on experience, utilize professional equipment with back up equipment and have a long list of happy customers which speaks volumes.
