Lead by Creative Director Kate Turner and Executive Director Kimmy (Klipsch) Gainer, this Saint Louis based team has been most notably named one of the best event designers by Vogue, is frequently featured by Martha Stewart Weddings, and has had work featured in BRIDES, Grace Ormonde, Style Me Pretty, Ladue News, and The Knot.
Though their client roster includes professional athletes and prominent business professionals, this team is most proud of seeing the faces of their clients as they witness the dream come to life and those memories preserved forever in their albums and social media feeds.

Emily's approach to photography, and business, is bright, joyful and authentic, just like her personality. Her work has been featured in Southern Bride Magazine, Saint Louis Bride, Design STL, and Chic Vintage Bride.
The relationships Emily has built as a wedding photographer and within the wedding industry sparked a secondary passion for building community and creative collaboration. She co-hosts a free club for local photographers at her studio, continues to be involved in a wide variety of creative projects with other small businesses, and is truly the wedding industries biggest cheerleader.
