• ABOUT ME. . .

    Hi! I'm Liberty Edwards, Owner of Mary Elizabeth Photography {named so after my daughter, Lorelei Mary Elizabeth} I have been a "paparazzi" since I was about 16, but have been shooting weddings professionally now along side my best friend April with her company for the past 6 years. While her life has taken a few unexpected turns her company is put on hold and now Mary Elizabeth Photography will pick up where she has left off. We are continuing to shoot weddings together as always just under a different name. We still offer our amazing shooting style, awesome teamwork and dedication to our couples! Look for fun friendship posts, glimpses into a past memories, and of course our take on wedding days all year long!

    ABOUT US. . .

    Liberty and April use their seventeen-year friendship and mutual love for weddings and romance to bring you eye catching photography on your special day. Once brides themselves, they know what it means to dream of this day for years and they showcase it in an artistic and timeless way you will cherish forever. Their fun and upbeat attitudes will keep you laughing even when the Saint Louis weather tries to stop you. It’s Liberty and April’s unique outgoing friendship that allows you feel not like you are being photographed by strangers, but by friends of your own, and has kept the brides returning year after year.

Duncan & Dane.O – Kirkwood Family Photographer

Posted in Uncategorized

When Karrie called me last year to book her boys’ 2012 sessions I was super excited! I have known Karrie for awhile (her sister, too!) and have always wanted to photograph her little babies! Of course, they are growing up quite fast just as children do and I know what it feels like to want to capture it all before it zooms by. I love their personalities, their brother-ship (friendship but with brothers…duh!) and that one has deep gorgeous brown eyes and the other sparkling blue!! I had so much fun following them around, ducking in and out of shadows even getting sap in my hair! (That’s what happens when you put two pine cones on your head like Bullwinkle to get a child to laugh!) Karrie I hope you treasure these and their little smiles!

Finney Family- Festus Family Photographer

Posted in Uncategorized

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jean since highschool, heck actually since junior high! She is so beautiful and of course her family is just as gorgeous. Last year she welcomed a 2nd son into her family and as he is about to turn 1 year old it was time to get some fun family shots done! Jean chose West City Park in Festus for us to meet and it was a beautiful background! The wind was quite insane, but we worked through it and I just LOVE the feeling of these photos with the barn and the sun coming through. Though my most favorite have to be the fun motion of the swingset. I am a sucker for life in action!

April’s Family Vacation – Cocoa Beach Photographer

Posted in My Bestie & Me, personal, Saint Louis Event Photography

“Why yes, I would love to travel to the beach to take your once-in-a-lifetime-whole-family-will-be-there-beach-vacation-photos!” I am pretty sure that was my exact reply when April asked me to come along.

Yes I would be shooting a day long wedding the day before (without her btw) and yes I would be getting in super late and getting up early to shoot the photos and then heading straight back to the airport. BUT how in the world could I PASS up the opportunity to spend the day not only with my very best friend, but her whole family, who to me mean as much to me as my own family, not to mention we would be back in my favorite beach town Cocoa Beach, where I spent soo many of my days when I was a Floridian!

Cocoa Beach Pier was the perfect setting, giving us shade from the high noon sun. Plus you just gotta love the old pillars and water breaking through! Um, anytime you want me to come on vacation to shoot your photos just say the word!!

Jade & Chris – Saint Louis Wedding Photographer

Posted in Saint Louis Engagement Photography, Saint Louis Event Photography, Saint Louis Wedding Photographer

I have known Jade since grade school and when she told me she was getting remarried and wanted me to do her photos I was very excited. She and Chris have such a great relationship and I knew she was very happy.

Their beautiful day took place at Windows Off Washington and was stunning all the way! Beautiful sunlight, bright tables, and glowing glass. How can you go wrong! I loved the urban feel of the cityscapes we used and the gorgeous vintage feeling of her dress. The way it all came together was beautiful! Enjoy, and thank you Jade and Chris for allowing me to photograph your day!!

Alicia & Brandon 11.11.11 – Saint Louis Wedding Photographer

Posted in Saint Louis Engagement Photography, Saint Louis Event Photography, Saint Louis Wedding Photographer

You might remember this gorgeous couple from their engagement session this year. Brandon and Alicia are so sweet and in love, and reminded me so much of my own marriage. See Alicia and I are alot alike. Fun, outgoing, bubbly, a bit loud at time:)While Brandon was much like my husband. Quiet, kind, thoughtful, and a bit more reserved. I was very excited to watch them get married!

This wedding was a little different to because my husband Mark, actually was my second shooter. Normally the only person I bring to shoots with me is April, most of you know that. We are a team and when you book with us, you get us each time. This was a special case, and Alicia and Brandon were very understanding and welcomed Mark to their day. For me it was neat for him to see me do my wedding “thang”:)

The wedding was a bit later in the day, and the sun was absolutely beautiful. I just loved all the haze during the ceremony and the gorgeous sunsett-y photos we were able to get for their bridal portraits were awesome! Of course the party was hopping too, for Alicia I expected no less. Great day, thank you so much for letting me be part of it!
