Castlewood State Park in Ballwin, MO was so gorgeous. From taking in the incredible river views, hiking trails all around, railroad over passes, and deer grazing around you at every turn. There are so many beautiful places to capture sweet moments between newly engaged couples. Kirsten and Eli live in St. Charles and St. Louis, MO and plan on having their 2024 wedding Defiance, MO. Castlewood State Park has a lot of meaning for these two. Eli asked Kirsten to be his girlfriend at this very same park. It was such an honor to capture their engagement photos at the location where it all started.

Kirsten and Eli wore simple yet modern beach outfits that fit the scenery beautifully.  Together they both shined. Kirsten and Eli had expressed their love with a cute and playful water shots- let’s just say this was a moment they will never forget! Especially Eli!

I am so excited to capture your wedding in June 2024 at All Saint Catholic Church & Hays Home. Along with the wonderful nature atmosphere, and love from family and friends it will be a day to remember.!
