Hello, I'm Cindy and I have been photographing weddings for 15 years now! I am based in St Louis but I am available for travel.

I enter a wedding with a journalistic eye, constantly watching and waiting to capture the most meaningful parts of the day. My goal is to make you relax and get your mind off the camera. The end result is a collection of photos that help you remember every emotion and every detail of this day that you've spent so long planning.

We "Double Dog Dare" you to find a photographer that is more fun than us. Finding a cheap photographer is easy. Finding a great photographer is a little bit harder. Finding an awesome photographer that works within your budget but still gets you the $10K shot of the day... now that's hard. We want you to shop around and certainly take the time to talk to multiple photographers. We may not be the one and that's OK. After the party's over, the food is forgotten, the flower's fade, and the dress is cleaned and stored, you have your pictures. Why chance a $500 photographer with your memories?

I bring a fresh, creative eye to the images of your day and strive to tell your love story in a way that is beautiful, timeless, and unique. Just as importantly, I want to give you personal, high-end service every step of the way.

As a kid, looking through a cabinet full of our family photos and albums was one of my favorite things to do.

So I got married once.....and this is the embarrassing part....WE DID'T GET A WEDDING VIDEOGRAPHER. Worst decision ever, don't be like me. Even if we don't work together, get a wedding filmmaker, it's so worth it! Years down the road I found a common connection between my firefighting job to making films. Being able to help others. This started with music festival films, mostly EDM. Don't judge me. This led to wedding films and it's where I got completely inspired. Finally I was able to help others and bring happiness, but in the best environments rather than the worst!
