Kayla has always been notorious for being indecisive, especially when it came to the opposite sex. As one of her closest friends during university, I used to joke that she would never settle down because she found the funniest justifications for loosing interest. I was convinced no man could keep her attention for more than a few days, but Justin proved me wrong over the course of a summer romance that blossomed into the love they have today.

Thanks to a house party hosted by a mutual friend, Justin was able to woo Kayla. For the first time I could remember, Kayla had zero complaints or objections about the man after her heart, and was by all standards, falling in the love.

How he managed to steal her heart, has never been a mystery to me. It was clear from the beginning that they were so in sync with one another – and to a depth and degree that I believe is the rare quality that defines their epic kind of love.

I am so thrilled to have been asked to photograph their wedding day in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri. A day that was so undeniably them – simple, elegant, full of laughter and Schlafly beer.
