Last year, I met two unique individuals & had the pleasure of photographing their engagement & wedding (both within 1 week).  Katherine was studying in the UK & Grant was living in New Zealand. With their busy schedules, they traveled back to the states & met me for lunch at the famous Crown Candy in St. Louis. As we gobbled down our BLT’s, we talked about the wedding day at Overlook Farm in Clarksville, MO. (A magical place, before what it is now, I frequented with my cousins when I was a younger). We decided to shoot their engagement photos at the City Museum. See for yourself all the fun that took place below:

 

 

Why is there a dinosaur in this picture, you might ask? Well, because Grant proposed to Katherine at a life-sized  abandoned statue of a Brontosaurus in Durham, NC.

*SIDE NOTE*

A few weeks before the proposal, some no good kids had stolen the beloved dino’s head! Grant helped in the community fundraising & searched to get the head back, so by the time he proposed (unbeknownst to Katherine), it was fixed. Having the bronto back in one piece was almost as good a surprise as the proposal itself!

This is why the wedding was themed “Elegant Dinosaur Library”…. I can’t wait to post those photos!

Just 5 days later, these love birds were married & had such a fun wedding celebration! I’ll be posting their wedding next, so stay tuned!
