Another Busy BBP Weekend-

Well of course the weekend is busy at BBP, what in the world else would it be???

Saturday kicks off with the wedding of Mickey & Jason----- long awaited and finally here. It will be a wonderful day of celebration, we're excited to be able to photograph their day with "Images from the Heart..."

The wedding will be followed by a Sunday tour at the wedding show at Windows on Washington. Come by and see us! 12-4 and the weather looks like it will be great!

Shouting WHISPER

Our brides are so funny, several are planning to have babies, or have fear of the post wedding equivalent of the freshman fifteen. Some say "I have to do a special boudoir session for my honey before the body goes!" And of course, we know this could never in a million years be true!

BUT--- no matter the reason, it is time to schedule the last couple of Whisper Session openings ladies!!!!! A perfect gift that will be treasured FOREVER------- please join us on November 14th for our next Whisper Session.

Call or email me asap for the details and openings ladies!

You KNOW you want to!

Candy Overload?

Are you full of sweet treats? Overfull on candy corn? Too much chocolate? Or other Halloween Party indulgences that shall remain nameless? It's okay, November is here and with it comes the serious though of holidays. Once again a local radio station is playing nothing but holiday music, ho ho ho items have been in the stores for weeks now and somehow Thanksgiving will be upon us in the blink of an eye.

The image today is a current favorite! Don't you just love it when the bride and groom (Sarah and Jon), their favorite local hangout, and personalities come together to make a really great photograph? Absolutely! When the bride and groom were so much fun to work with it is icing on the cake.

See? Can't get away from food phrases today...............

Happy Halloween

Everyone at BBP sends Happy Halloween wishes.......................... along with hopes that you receive far more treats than tricks! Have fun and be safe!

Peek @ Palladium St,. Louis

We had the opportunity to join a group that previewed the Palladium, St. Louis' newest venue. Located very near the studio it was a short trip to check out this fabulous space. Brought to celebrants by the always excellent Butler's Pantry, this beautiful space did not disappoint!

The space can hold a LOT of people, I think I heard 400+. The venue is a soaring space that combines modern with traditional flair. Lots of glass, brick, urban and chic. The end result is a nothing short of spectacular!

Uber upscale, the table settings were nothing short of gorgeous, and can be customized to any taste.

The lighting is lovely and we could see that some of the fantastic lighting designers in town would have a field day with special touches. The hanging "screens" are customizable, can be used for light control and also function for slide/video shows. They provided a pop of excitement that was unique, interesting, very one of a kind and beautiful

The photo above is the second floor seating area, laid out for the occasion with a couple of additional bars, small tables and several areas filled with food. Speaking of the food it was quite delicious, everything from soup shooters and salad to veal, crab cakes, a vegetarian dumpling (which is not at all what it was called and I apologize!!), and much, much more. Signature cocktails (which I did not enjoy, sadly) received positive raves from everyone holding a piece of lovely stemware.

Dessert anyone? Funny how sweet confections bring out the best in everyone! The desserts at Palladium St. Louis were magnificent------- little tarts, mini cupcakes, truffles in several over the top flavors, a little marshmallowy bite bringing s'mores to mind, macarons in the French tradition, and so much more. Even chocolate dipped apples, some with gold leaf!!

Delicious..................... wonderful.................. yum! A sweet finish to an excellent event! As always you can count on me to give the most thorough review to the desserts!

Thanks Palladium St. Louis, we hope to be photographing beautiful events in this exciting new space! Brides and grooms and their families will be very lucky to host their festivities in such a beautiful and well staffed location!

Jayna & Patrick

We are so happy to welcome Jayna & Patrick to the BBP wedding family! With such a great couple and a wonderful family, we're sure to enjoy them! As always it is a super pleasure to be able to capture their love story with "Images from the Heart..."

Now if the rain would stop! Enough already! The chilly gray rainy-ness of STL this past month is making everyone pretty tired of it! I suppose we should be glad that it hasn't been cold enough to snow or we'd all have little flags on the top of our car antenna's! C'mon nice weather, you can do it!!!!!!

No Rings--- Just Soccer

Many of our long time clients have been asking................. so, how is Kyle? They remember him from years ago when he was a Select soccer player (and a good one). Or followed him during his high school years when he was a record setter. I mean, catch that huge banner on the side of the stadium----------wow!


He's great, thanks for asking. Bobbi's nephew remains an outstanding soccer player during his senior year of college. Autographs for the young fans are part of the deal----- surely other signings will follow.

Bobbi recently traveled to his school to watch him play---- and of course ph0tograph him as she has done for his entire life.

He's amazing to watch, skilled and fast and unbelievably energetic. How can you not love the game.................................. ahhhhhhhhhhh, soccer!
