Fun times with Katherine & Tom recently in and around Lafeyette Square Park as well as Busch Stadium. Can’t wait to photograph their big day in the Fall!

Artistic Soup Photography went on a little road trip to Advance, MO to photograph Christina & Joshua’s special day!  The colors were a rich vibrant purple and lime green, the attire classic and the setting was country perfect with the cornfields surrounding which made for a fun and unique to us photo backdrop.  This couple shared with us they loved and cherished creativity and we had  such a blast working with them.  Thank you so much Christy & Joshua for giving us the privilege to photograph this momentous day!

I recently had the honor of photographing a wonderful young man, Leonardo, for his Bar Mitzvah held at the reception site of his Grandparent’s many years ago – Ces & Judy’s of Frontenac.  A handsome young man inside and out chose to forgo presents in order to donate the proceeds to organizations in which he and his family support – the Jewish National Fund and the Arbor Day Foundation.  A wonderful celebration with family and friends.
