Here's to 2013- Park Avenue Photographers

2012 was full and eventful for Park Avenue Photographers, it seemed like there were surprises around every corner.

One thing we knew in 2012 was that we had fabulous clients, our brides and grooms were FANTASTIC, along with all of our clients. We're incredibly grateful for them! THANKS for a wonderful year.

Thanks as well to the wedding professionals we worked with, because of your dedication and passion each wedding was truly beautiful!

And..... one thing we know is that in 2013 we will continue to have fantastic clients! We promise to take very good care of you and deliver the products and services you have come to depend on from Park Avenue along with the great customer service that has become our trademark. We will continue to pass along trusted preferred vendor recommendations to make your day as wonderful as can be.

Happy New Year: Park Avenue Photographers

We've had a few surprises this year and bet you have too! Here's to 2013 and all of the very best it has to offer!

Merry Christmas

Susan & Brendan: Holiday Lights

Susan was SO EXCITED to have her engagement session with Holiday Lights, her favorite time of year! Of course it was super chilly in St. Louis, but expected after all!  No doubt this amazing couple will have a fabulous season and the merriest of Christmases! It was a great session with Susan and Brendan!

Wordless Wednesday-- Park Avenue Photographers

Shhhhhh.... sometimes a whisper and a sigh is just what's needed mid-week in a busy season!

Gearing up for December

Lots going on in the studio in December including some great upcoming consultations. We're always so fortunate to be able to meet wonderful brides and grooms who come to us, many from fellow wedding vendors and past clients.

We'll take great care of you, we promise!

Now, about the wild and mild weather in STL lately, it hardly seems like December at all does it? We're going to enjoy every second of it as we're sure you will! After all, soon we will be talking about more temperate cold weather and maybe even using the "S" word..... snow.

Have a fabulous week! No "S WORD" for us...... yet!  ;)

Isabel @ 6 months: Park Avenue Photographers

Is Miss Isabel about the cutest baby girl you've ever seen? She's an absolute beauty to be sure! We're thinking of all the darling clients children we can set up..... maybe we should be photographer matchmakers?

Isabel was a star at her recent 6 month session, we thought we'd share a few with you!

Soucy Family: Session Peek!

We're blessed to have such awesome clients, the Soucy Family certainly is on that list! Jeremy enjoyed photographing their young family recently and we look forward to many years with them!

Baby Freddie & The Lovely Stella

Favorite dog of clients (and past bride and groom) Lisa and Michael is the wonderful Stella. Dear Stella had to share mom and dad with a new baby recently....... adorable Mr. Freddie!

Look at that FACE!!!!  Is she the sweetest thing ever? She's a wonderful Big Sis to Freddie but the recent family session left her... well a little put out with the whole thing!

But that BABY!!! OHMYOHMYOHMY!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Park Avenue Photographers

From our homes to your home, we are SO incredibly grateful and thankful this Thanksgiving 2012 to have such wonderful clients and such fantastic vendors and friends! We've had a wonderful year at Park Avenue Photographers and we pause to give thanks for it all.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend full of food and football, shopping and family!

Welcome Mary & Cory

We're so Thankful {get it.... Thanksgiving humor} to welcome Mary and Cory to the wedding family here at the very blessed Park Avenue Photographers!!!

Mary and Cory are fellow hockey fans and share our deep sadness over the lack of a hockey season this year so far. We can't tell you how much we look forward to getting to know them as we lead up to their Big Day... and of course documenting their Wedding Day will be a wonderful honor and privilege.

Joey 3 Months Old- Park Avenue Photographers

Oh lucky Jean and Joe and baby Joey! Their Thanksgiving this year has a new blessing at the table, and what a blessing he is! Adorable little Joey! We're pretty crazy about past bride and groom Jean and Joe too.... but OHHHHHHHH couldn't you just eat this little 3 month old with a spoon???  Too cute!!

Jordan: Park Avenue Photographers Senior Session

It was such an honor (and fun) to capture Jordan's senior session to document and celebrate her senior year in high school! Hopefully soon {but not too soon} we'll be photographing her wedding!

Christi & Jason- STL Engagement Session

Christi and Jason are a fabulous couple, we're so glad to have them as part of the Park Avenue Photographers wedding family.  Recently Jeremy had a blast with them on their engagement session here in St. Louis at the always gorgeous Grant's Farm on the Anheuser Busch property.

Here at Park Avenue Photographers we're BUSY with weddings, hope you're lucky enough to have a long happy weekend-- the weather in STL looks like it's going to be really nice with rain on the way so get out there and enjoy it!

If we met you at the recent Perfect Wedding Guide wedding show at Windows on Washington we can't wait to meet you in the studio. We promise lots of information and a laugh or two {or three}. MANY of you are on the schedule---- but if you're not, well what are you waiting for?
