Aaron + Kristen | Saint Louis Cardinals Busch Stadium and STL Art Museum Engagement Photo Session | KB Photos & Design

Aaron and Kristen wanted a classic St. Louis engagement session, and they definitely got it! Aaron and Kristen told me they loved spending time with their dogs, visiting breweries, and watching Cardinals baseball, so we knew the urban vibes of the City would be our backdrop. Aaron actually proposed at a downtown restaurant nearby! We planned to capture their love of Cardinals baseball and their love of their pups while visiting some iconic STL locations for their engagement photoshoot.

I love when couples incorporate a shared interest or way they spend time together - it adds so much meaning to engagement photos! As Cardinals fans, these two lovebirds (pun intended) wanted photos in front of Busch Stadium, the home of the Cardinals baseball team. We made our way along crosswalks and under bridges until we reached the downtown streets in front of the stadium. They wore their Cards jerseys and brought a baseball with their wedding day printed on it. We also rounded the corner to Ballpark Village, a must-visit location for any baseball fan, and got some more candid and romantic shots of them. This bride-to-be and groom-to-be were certainly in their element!

Then we made our way to the Saint Louis Art Museum in Forest Park. I love romping around this area of Forest Park and using the iconic architecture and scenery to draw attention in to the couple. I kept offering prompts to Aaron and Kristen while I photographed their shared love. So many magical in-between moments were captured. It’s the little touches, the whispers in her ear, the looks as they walked together. It was a dreamy spot that made for beautiful engagement photos.

What a privilege to photograph this super sweet and FUN couple’s engagement. Congratulations to Aaron and Kristen on this new phase of your lives, and your upcoming summer wedding in 2024!

Taylor + Drew | Saint Louis Forest Park Engagement Photo Session at the STL Art Museum and Jewel Box | KB Photos & Design

A little sizzle, and a little spice. It’s engagement season, and I’m here for it! Taylor and Drew had the most dreamy St. Louis engagement shoot in Forest Park. We explored the iconic Saint Louis Art Museum, stately St. Louise statue, and the art deco Jewel Box greenhouse and pools. Romping around beautiful Forest Park with fun loving couples is my jam!

Tell me, what’s your favorite spot in STL? Is there a place that holds a special memory? How do you like to spend time together? These are all things I’ll ask while we plan your engagement session together. Then I’ll capture some of that engagement magic during your classy and romantic engagement session. Let’s get in touch today.

Hear how they met below:

“We had known each other for 5 days when we both got Covid. We still debate on who got Covid and exposed the other. Drew is convinced that I was the culprit since I was a Covid ICU nurse at the time but I still don’t agree. Our relationship got off to a fast start after being in quarantine and not being able to have contact with anyone else. Drew jokes and says that was my way of tricking him into an exclusive relationship. The truth is that he has a heart of gold and is the most laid back guy I know. We both have so much in common and are always on the go. We love golfing, going to the gym, playing basketball, traveling, trying new things and eating good food. I’ve been ready to marry this man since the day after I met him. But after about 2.5 fun years of dating Drew surprised me by popping the question while we were vacationing in Mexico. He did so good planning the perfect proposal. He told me that he “won” a photo shoot. The photographer told me to turn and face the ocean so he could get a shot of me from behind facing the ocean. When I turned around, Drew was on one knee. I startle easily so of course I screamed like I was in a haunted house and quickly after said the easiest yes of my life. We are so excited to be getting married next summer and hope to one day add some little loves to our family.”

Congratulations Taylor + Drew on your engagement and upcoming wedding. Cheers!
