Anna Ruck Photography is not taking any new sessions at this time. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience or confusion. We are focusing on our family and our health at this time.
Thanks for checking out my work!
Adam and Katie are such a fun and laid back couple. Even though it was a hot July wedding, we braved the heat and took some super cool photos by the Gateway Arch!
These pretty ladies wore the cutest matching dresses for their fun summer mommy + me session in Tower Grove park and Tower Grove Creamery! We had so much fun playing airplane, running and discovering new flowers. It reminded me how precious and fleeting these times are with littles and summer.
A sunny gorgeous wedding in July! Bryant and Cara tied the knot at Neo on Locust. Such a beautiful venue complete with a rooftop view! The couple also got ready and had their first look at the Chase Park Plaza hotel which was on a rooftop too! Rooftops were definitely a theme for this modern and chic wedding. With a fun purple paper flower backdrop at the ceremony to twinkly romantic lights at the reception, this wedding was full of loveliness. Bryant and Cara danced the night away after celebrating with close friends and family and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.
Another mommy and me session at the sunflower fields! Maggie just turned eight and Jenny wanted to do a fun photo shoot to celebrate!
We did a little mommy and me session of these two pretty ladies! Kristy wanted to bring her wedding dress too so we incorporated that into the session for Emerson to try on. If you can believe we did all these photos plus more in just 30 minutes! I can't even post all of them, just love how these turned out!
Such a beautiful family with a beautiful home! If you can believe it, this was their backyard! We had a lot of fun! However, Lincoln was pretty shy sometimes and didn't want to take photos. With a few tactics like playing in the water, ring around the rosie and throwing him up in the air, we got a few smiles! I think they all turned out great!
My two dear friends are expecting their first baby! Baby Jackson should arrive very soon! We are all so excited for them and starting their family. Big brother and big sister pups are excited too and had to be in the photos too!
This wedding was one of the most quaint and beautiful spring weddings! Taylor and Lisa were so wonderful to work with. Their families were so sweet and great to work with as well. This was a traditional Catholic mass and a more traditional wedding over all. They had their reception at the Chatillon-DeMenil Mansion. We faced some rain and had to do the first look and wedding photos at the Jewel Box, but it turned out beautifully!
Sunset family session in the park! This little guys blue eyes will melt your heart, what a sweetie pie! Loved the shots we got from this session! Sarah, Miles mom, made the crocheted blanket for Miles and wanted to get some photos holding her baby boy.
This new baby boy is already rocking a mohawk! Such a handsome little man just a week after being born. Just love taking photos of brand new babies and their families. Drew has an older brother who is just as sweet! Loved taking photos for this wonderful family!
Such a beautiful and quaint wedding at the Whitmore House! They had one of the smallest weddings I have photographed, but boy could their wedding guests party! They had the best dance moves and just enjoyed themselves. Such a great day and evening with Dorian and Monique. Congrats to these two!
We went downtown to do more a city-like engagement session. I think we nailed it! Bryant and Cara gave me creative freedom with this session and I think their photos turned out great! Their wedding is just around the corner! Can't wait to photograph their wedding in July!
Such a beautiful evening in Lafayette park for this engagement session! This couple was so fun, they said they had to have a few drinks to get relaxed for the session because they were a bit nervous. Nothing to be nervous about because they did great! So many nice images, it was hard to choose which to post! Can't wait to photograph their wedding in September!!
A spring session of this lovely family! Robin and her husband celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary and wanted to take some photos with their children at a cool spot showing the arch in the background. We went to Citygarden in downtown St. Louis.
Just a few weeks ago, there were so many flowers in bloom it was just so pretty! Adam and Katie wanted to get their photos done on Main Street in St. Charles, MO. We even got their puppy dogs to take a photo with their humans. We had such a fun time walking along the cobblestone streets and cute shops. The perfect evening for their engagement photos. Congratulations to Adam and Katie! Can't wait to photograph your wedding in July!
Mike, Myatt and Maureen had a quick spring-mini session and got some great shots at Faust Park. They are such a sweet family! Myatt is one adorable little man!
These two are getting married in November! I can't wait to photograph their wedding. We had the best weather for this session at Tower Grove park. They wanted to have some photos with Kim's dog Frank, what a cute dog! Such a lovely spring night too!
Anthony and Brittany are engaged! They will be tying the knot next July! They have a masquerade theme for their wedding and we photographed some sweet masks with her engagement ring! They dressed up to the nines and look fabulous! So great to meet these two!
Another spring mini-session! Such cute family! This little guy has the best big brother and big sister! I just love seeing how much they care about their little brother and help take care of him!
Chad + Angie tied the knot! This wedding was one of the most fun weddings I have been part of! We went to an awesome bar, Start Bar, where they first met and a coffee spot that is special to them as well - RISE coffee. Their wedding was at The Majorette and they even had a t-rex crash their reception! Ok ok, he was invited - and it was super fun! This couple just has fun, laughs and shows they are so in love in every photo - to the happily wedded couple - I wish you all the best!
Just WOW - a favorite from my first wedding of 2018! Many more to come, but I couldn't wait to post this one <3 #annaruckphotos #STLweddings #TheMajorette #springwedding #junebugwedding #urbanwedding #theygotstyle #brideandgroom #workinit #justmarried #husbandandwife #citywedding #modern
