Mckinley + Alyssa's Paducah, KY Couple Session

Zach and Rosalie

St. Louis Wedding Photographers

When the trees are bare and the weather is cold, we typically shoot less weddings. (Oh, I definitely miss it.) The best part about this time of year is to photograph creative couple sessions like this one with Alyssa and Mckinley. Not only are these two stylish, they are also v talented. Alyssa is a skilled florist. Mckinley plays the guitar. And they are both excellent cat parents. When we met, we were all wearing Doc Martens and I don’t know if this sounds crazy, but the universe was like “Hey, these are your people.” We ran around Paducah’s downtown on foot and had a dang good time. I also got to see my sweet forever friend, Amber. (If you’re reading this, I love you with the intensity of 1000 suns.)

Like we’ve mentioned before, we play music during these sessions and these photos feel like music to me. Please listen to your favorite song right now while looking at them. Zach took the lead on this shoot and directed the whole thing. I did something I haven’t done before. I photographed the whole time with just a 45mm tilt shift lens. I wanted more practice with it, and I knew these two would appreciate it.

So please enjoy!
