Call or email me asap for the details and openings ladies!
You KNOW you want to!
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.
Everyone at BBP sends Happy Halloween wishes.......................... along with hopes that you receive far more treats than tricks! Have fun and be safe!
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!
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..."
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!
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!

First things first, ---- a great show at Harrah's yesterday! Thanks so much to the wonderful brides, grooms, and parents that we had the opportunity to meet. The booth was at times super jammed (usual for us) and if we didn't get a chance to spend some time with you, we hope we can rectify that soon in the studio, out of the madness as it were.
Wang's commentary on the design of "Amelia", the vision, the sketching, the process of draping and final ornamentation are interesting reading. Visit the site here for inspiration and sign up for her wonderful emails while you are there.
We'll be celebrating with them while smiling in the sunshine!
This prolific designer heads theAmsale Design Group, including Amsale, Amsale Bridesmaids, Christos and Kenneth Pool. The Kenneth Pool line is designed by Project Runway alum, Austin Scarlett, while Amsale Aberra is the Creative Director for the Amsale and Christos lines.
Without a doubt Amsale will be delivering the most exquisite of gowns for seasons to come---- and we will be watching!
Rudolph is her favorite toy---- and you can tell she just loves him!
Look at those eyes!! She's beautiful just like her mom and we can't wait to capture her life moments as she grows up!
They were high school sweethearts who drifted apart, each marrying others and each having beautiful daughters. Those marriages ended and Shelly & Toney found each other again and recognized that they were the collective loves of their lives. The next chapter in their love story happened last Friday in Hermann at Hermann Hill. (More about that later.....) Shelly's dress was lovely and her headpiece/veil------ fabulously vintage.
She looked so beautiful----------------------- and Toney agreed!
It was incredible to be able to share the special day of such wonderful people! Everything was just so wonderful! Even the very windy day that brought a bit of a chill did not dampen anyone's spirits, love and joy were absolutely the order of the day!
The countryside around Hermann is breathtaking and being in the vineyards made us all feel very German, or Tuscan! We had a great time on location in and around this German town, even stopping so the bride and groom could share a bottle of wine!
And the girls? They are both beautiful and had such a fun day at the wedding of their Mom and Dad to one another. I can say without reservation that this family will share many happy moments together.
The weather has turned decidedly cool, sweater weather at last. (If it could only stay this way instead of the gradual slide towards winter!)
Vintage is all the rage currently, but there has always been a place in wedding planning to incorporate a bit of the old. What more is at the heart of "something borrowed, something blue?"
Youngest nephew Alex is taking up the call as well and is playing soccer in his freshman year of high school.
We thought we'd share some photos--------
Sports related of course because Bobbi's hope is that Alex won't be the featured player in wedding photos for a good long time.
Just announced------- a second date has been added to our popular Portraits in the Park Sessions!
The day was beautiful for the happy couple!
Kendra and Doug have STL family but reside in Memphis.
They had a fabulous evening at the Magic House with family, kids and friends. Congratulations Kendra and Doug!
This Sunday is a big day! For many (and many and many) it marks the start of football. It is hard to believe that it is time for the season, I guess that means that Fall is on the doorstep.
Sort of "American Gothic" .............. but better! :)
I think the 'puppy' should have been in the bridal party!
Congratulations and many blessings to the M's!
Why are we happy? It is a LONG weekend, of course! Naturally around BBP weekends aren't weekends, they are nose to the grindstone work work work fests, but still--- the feeling prevails.
My cousin's husband David passed away, it is a kind of sad and kind of okay thing. David was of German decent---- he was so strong, so kind, so brave. He was diagnosed with cancer 2 years ago and has fought the hardest fight I have EVER seen. Remarkable really. He NEVER complained, when the chemo and/or radiation got to him you were unaware. When the soles of his feet blistered so bad he could barely walk he kept up with things around the house and yard. He was never less than funny and always so compassionate. He was love and OH did he love his grandkids. David's last days were nasty, cancer is a horrid beast at the end. It was awful and I'm so glad it is over for him. His wife Paula is a fabulous woman. She sews, crochets, can craft anything that moves and can do more on a shoestring than just about anyone I have ever known. This whole struggle has been so hard on her and yet she was always strong. Always. I tell her now what I have told her always, that she is the toughest old bird in the world. Now that David is gone she says she feels almost better, knowing the ugly end is over and that she has stopped a two year free fall that took her breath away. Now she can get her feet under her and move on.
