St. Louis Micro wedding photographer

Choosing a photographer means finding someone you trust to read the room, guide the moments that need direction, and preserve the story without pulling you away from it.

Truly Moments offers true-to-life photography for micro weddings, courthouse ceremonies, and intimate celebrations throughout St. Louis. The experience is thoughtfully planned and naturally guided, so you can remain present while the day unfolds in a way that feels like you.

A Wedding Shaped Around You

Made for the way you celebrate

Your wedding may be a ceremony with your closest family, portraits somewhere meaningful, and dinner around one table. It may unfold in one place, move through the city, or bring together only the traditions that feel right to you.

You do not need to add more simply because it is expected.

Your photography is planned around the celebration you chose, with guidance for the timing, locations, people, and moments that matter most. The day can remain flexible and personal while the story is preserved with care.

The Truly Moments Approach

Present for the moments. Prepared for the way your day unfolds.

Every wedding has its own rhythm. Intimate celebrations often move closely from one meaningful moment to the next. Thoughtful preparation allows those moments to be documented naturally, without turning the celebration into a rigid photography schedule.

With nearly two decades of experience, I bring clear direction when it helps, space when the moment belongs to you, and the judgment to recognize what deserves attention without interrupting the experience.


1. Thoughtful Preparation

A dedicated planning meeting shapes the timing of your ceremony, portraits, travel, and key transitions around the way you want the celebration to flow.
You will receive a personalized Wedding Flow Plan with your photography timeline, locations, and family portrait priorities clearly outlined.

2. Natural Direction

Guidance that helps you feel comfortable without making the photographs feel forced or overly performed.

3. Attuned Presence

A steady approach that responds to the room, the pace, and the people in front of me.

4. Purposeful Delivery

A true-to-life gallery, edited with care and delivered promptly, including a 48-hour sneak peek and full gallery within two weeks.

Common Questions Couples Ask

A micro wedding is an intentionally smaller celebration, often with a limited guest count and a focused timeline. It may still include a ceremony, portraits, dinner, and traditional wedding moments, simply on a smaller scale.

Many micro weddings can be photographed thoughtfully within two or four hours. Two hours is often best for a ceremony and portraits. Four hours provides more flexibility for additional parts of the celebration.

Yes. Every collection includes personalized timeline guidance so you understand what can be photographed comfortably within the selected coverage.

Yes. While based in Missouri, I photograph weddings throughout the Midwest and beyond. Travel details are discussed clearly during the inquiry process, so there are no surprises.

Truly Moments blends documentary wedding photography with gentle guidance. Moments are captured as they happen, with direction offered when needed, so the day stays natural and unforced.

Yes. I provide clear, natural direction when it helps, so you are never expected to know how to pose, where to stand, or what to do.

In the nearly 20 years I have been shooting weddings, I have never missed a single one. I famously missed my husband’s kidney transplant to shoot a wedding. If you’re curious, just ask!
