I was born into a family of gardeners and have been playing in the dirt with my Nana since I was two years old. My lifelong love for flowers stems from the joy they can bring to life. This passion inspired me to create The Prickly Thistle, a floral design business dedicated to turning special moments into unforgettable experiences through the transformative power of flowers. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, I recognized the need for more florists who can provide custom designs and personal attention, especially for clients with modest budgets. Our focus is on wedding florals priced under $5,000.

Hi, I’m Brooke—wedding photographer, dog mom to the cutest mini Aussie (Ollie), proud “Aunt Rooke” to some of the most adorable little humans. Disney lover (thanks, college job at the parks!) and aspiring world traveler. I believe your wedding day should feel like you. Intentional. Joyful. Rooted in meaning, not just tradition. My couples are best friends and adventure partners who value their marriage more than the production of the day. They want to be fully present with their people, not posing through every moment—and they want a photographer who gets that. What makes my approach different? I specialize in capturing I specialize in capturing the authentic emotions of the day. My biggest priority is helping you feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated—so you can focus on what matters most. My faith in Jesus guides how I love and serve others—with integrity, kindness, and deep respect for every story. No matter your race, religion, sexual orientation, or background, you’re welcome here. Your love deserves to be documented just as it is. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels deeply personal and true to you, I’d be honored to tell that story.

I’m Aloha, founder of Love Exposed Boudoir.

I believe in creating transformational, luxury experiences that help women reconnect with their power, beauty, and divine feminine energy—especially in the moments they feel furthest from it.

My ideal client is a woman who’s ready to be seen—not just in photos, but in her full presence. Whether she’s celebrating a milestone, healing from something heavy, or simply craving a reminder of who she is, she knows this experience is for her.

What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just take beautiful photos—I guide women into seeing themselves differently. With every session, I bring emotional depth, intentional styling, and an energy that invites softness, strength, and self-worship. I specialize in luxury boudoir photography that centers self-love, confidence, and visibility—creating art that feels like a love letter to the most powerful version of you.

Today, as a married couple, we enjoy rock climbing at Upper Limits-working out together as a team, sampling craft beer together (Dan's favorite STL brewery is Urban Chestnut!), watching the Food Network, enjoying delicious eats smoked or grilled by Dan (his latest creation was Duck with a cranberry orange glaze sauce...absolutely scrumptious!), and spending time with our daughter, Zoe.

Together, we have enjoyed opportunities to travel to Italy, England, Ireland, France, Germany, India, Thailand, China, Australia, Africa on safari, Costa Rica (where we adopted our dog Bonnie from the beach), and Iceland (one of our favorite trips to date). We've been bitten by the travel bug, and love traveling with our daughter for your special events. To date, we captured engagement sessions in Switzerland and weddings across the States in Ohio, Texas, Florida, and internationally in Cancun

I have spent the last 10+ years photographing life's big (and little) moments. I'm a mom, wife, and carb enthusiast. I could go on, but the reality is that this isn't about me.

My art is about you; always.

My ideal couples share authentic love, don't mind chasing the last drop of sunlight in the day, are PDA kind of people, and love a good dad joke. I want your photos to feel like the trailer to your favorite romance movie- I want you to look at them and feel something every single time.

My goal as your photographer is to create not only images that feel true to you, but also an environment where you feel comfortable, safe, and free to express your love- however that may be. I take pride in my ability to turn clients into friends, will almost always cry during your first dance, and will probably miss your grandparents the moment I leave your wedding (I love grandparents).

If you sound like my people and you have room for one more: I can't wait to meet you.

Editing Style: true-to-life with a touch of warmth. complimentary laughs with every session.
