We love passion, love and romantic kisses which is why we photograph what we do.  Yet again we had the privilege of photographing such things on Sunday at Tower Grove Park when we met Heather & Michael there for their engagement session. Despite the butterflies in their stomachs due to being the center of attention…their feelings for each other emanated and we captured it in an unobtrusive matter.  Looking forward to their October wedding and celebrating their union.

Every year about this time we receive a desperate phone call from a bride that selected an amateur photographer (have heard similar stories regarding other amateur wedding vendors as well) that has backed out of shooting a wedding (every year the reason is different but the situation is the same) and unfortunately although we would love to help and truly feel for these brides we cannot because we are already fully booked for their peak season date.  This happened yet again yesterday.

Brides….this is your WEDDING DAY.  Wedding photos are the one tangible record you will have.  Please do not do this to yourself.  We have heard many many brides cry in panicked desperation.  If you don’t hire us…hire another pro team that has studied their craft, is experienced, has great customer reviews and offers backup assurances (back up photographers and backup equipment.)

Remember in wedding photography as in life in general, you truly do get what you pay for.  Make your wedding day a happy memory not a disappointing stressful one.  The amount you think you are saving upfront I am sure these desperate brides will tell you do not equal the lack of quality, professionalism and stress they later received.

To a Happy Wedding.

Jenna & Wes met in St. Louis.  Life since has taken them elsewhere but St. Louis is still very near and dear to their hearts. Their wedding will take place in St. Louis in August and they chose for their engagement session to honor their meeting place with our national landmark – The Arch.

Allie and John will be married at the Kemp Auto Museum, one of Artistic Soup Photography’s favorite wedding venues in late May and we are so very excited to capture this ohhh so sweet…in love so much that they glow it….couple’s special day.

Due to rain on Sunday we had to take our engagement session indoors but all the same it was a great time.

Their energy…great! Their location choice…awesome! And not to mention they look like a model couple! Needless to say…we loved it! And can’t wait for more…
