Terrence & Latashia Ingram~A Journey Back To Each Other

I remember meeting Latashia almost a year ago as she began planning her wedding, and I was very excited by her excitement! Due to her future husband's service in the military we weren't able to have their engagement photos done until about 3 weeks before the wedding at Tower Grove Park (which is one of my new favorite places to shoot), but we got them done and had a great time. The weather was perfect, the company superb, and Terrence looked stunning in his gray pants and Tasha simply amazing in her heels (inside jokes).


Finally the big day came - the picture perfect outdoor wedding was planned, but true to form, the weather in St. Louis was unpredictable, but we still had a great day. The wedding was supposed to be outside at Logan Chiropractic School, however the rain came and despite our efforts to wait it out, the ceremony was moved into the auditorium and the show went on. The minister's message couldn't have been more on point as she spoke of marriage requiring flexibility, compromise and the willingness to still have a good attitude. This supportive crowd of family and friends, all decked in black and white, were nothing short of supportive as they celebrated with this very cute couple.


The reception was held at the Lumen, in downtown St. Louis, and was simply stunning in its decor, decked out by vendors such as BBJ Linen. And there was an amazing old school candy shoppe for the guests - truly no detail was left undone.

Here is a slideshow of our time together.

Enjoy!

Summer in St. Louis

To say that I'm far behind in posting would be an understatement unless one believes 4 to 5 months is no big deal (smile). But, nonetheless, I have certainly been shooting, a lot, amongst a host of other things, and am finally stationary long enough to update!!!

Where to begin?? Well, we'll start with the summer and make this my summer update. This was certainly the summer for family portraits, which was really fun - and I was able to travel to various parts of St. Louis like Forest Park and St. Peters Rec Plex, and some which were new to me like various parts of St. Louis University's campus and South City, to capture these family moments.

The best part about family portraits is really the kids - you have absolutely no idea what will intrigue them in the setting you are in, and that really makes for a fun time. Will they be intrigued by a branch, a rock, a stick . . . your camera . . . (yikes!) Or will I once again be "forced" to act like a complete goof to get that million dollar smile and laugh, all the while trying not to laugh myself and actually do my job which is capture that moment.

Enjoy the pictures!!!!
