STUDIO 637 PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

SOMETHING BLEU

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
