It was a hot July day, but Liesl & R.J. were not daunted by the weather. Enjoy these previews of their wedding day, and check back (or subscribe to the blog) to be among the first to see their photo animation!

A bride needs friends who will help her at all times…

…and her mother, to check all details.

And where would a happy couple be without their intimate circle of friends?

It was a remarkable day for Liesl and R.J. In this precious couple, their loving friends and family, we saw hope, commitment, joy, and fierce determination. We are certain that their future will be full of blessings.

What’s not to love about a Friday evening Girls’ Night Out? Hosted by Pat Gouzien and Kate O’Brien, owners of chíc photography, and Lory Fabian, of the St. Louis RAMS, the event that was scheduled from 5.30 till 8PM lasted until nearly midnight, giving a clear message that chíc is fun! 

chíc photography provides fine art portrait photography to decorate the home. Our portraits are designed collaboratively with the client to fit into a specific place in the home, whether a public living space or a private space like a child’s bedroom.

“We recently completed a major project for Lory [Fabian] that spanned several months and included five separate photo sessions and events,” O’Brien explains. “Lory was thrilled with our work and suggested we host a party so that she could introduce us to her colleagues and friends. One thing led to another, and it turned into a mini business expo! We served cupcakes donated by Jilly’s Cupcake Bar. Andy Korbesmeyer from PRP Wines, International, provided wine tasting, and Arvella Roberts shared beauty knowledge from her work with MaryKay Cosmetics.”

O’Brien explains, “Each guest wore a hat and came prepared to tell a story about it. We provided a gift card for a chic handbag as the prize for the best story.” Who won the prize? “It was a [RAMS] coach’s wife,” O’Brien grins. “It was a great story, but I can’t share it here,” she laughs, then continues, “It was a fun party! We were thrilled to share our products with the group, but honestly the highlight for Pat and me was just making new friends. After all, life at its best is about relationships, isn’t it?”

We can’t leave out our first in-person sighting of a St. Louis RAMS Super Bowl ring!
