i know this is not a new image, but been working on this for some advertising and it just goes to show you how much editing can really make an image sing.i think all to often, people typically underestimate how important it is to deliver a polished product. as photographers, we are not only responsible for the creation of the image - posing, capture, etc. we are fully responsible for how that image is edited and delivered in its final form.
libby & gregdate | 4.30.11 ceremony | st ambrose reception | trolly room @ forest park photography | taylor cincotta and george schank st louis wedding photography by salvatore cincotta photography Perfect day pretty much sums it up. Greg and Libby were easy going and a blast to hang out with! We went to so many locations, forest park, busch stadium, broadway oyster bar...and broke into an abandoned warehouse full of homeless people :) Thanks to Marco for climbing through a tiny dirty window to get us access to the roof-you rock! We had so much fun, it felt like we were just hanging out with friends all day. Greg and Libby looked amazing and i loved how they were "down for anything", my kind of couple! animoto_720p(4).mp4
kristin & stephendate | 4.30.11 ceremony | shrine of st joseph reception | sheraton st louis photography | sal cincotta and ashley shank st louis wedding photography provided by salvatore cincotta photography what an amazing day!! poor kristin had just about everything go wrong before her wedding and she took it in stride - a total non-bridezill!! calm and relaxed the entire day - the whole family was an absolute blast to be around. plus, we found some amazing new spots by dumb luck. just driving around like we normally do, looking for something interesting and something different, we came across this amazing burned out church, to which, as you will see in the pics, kristin and stephen were all to eager to jump up on the 6 ft ledge by climbing on water coolers. all this mind you before the actual wedding. now that's dedication!!! animoto_720p(3).mp4
we don't shoot a whole lot of family sessions, but when we do, we love to have fun and do something a little different. so, if you are looking for the typical stand in a line and smile picture, we are not the studio for you. ;) we recently got to shoot one of my best friend's family. the last time they had a family picture? over 20+ years ago and jessica was in her momma's belly. as momma will point out... she was in the picture, referring to jessica. what a great day, thank you everyone for letting us create a memory for your family. saint louis family portrait session
jim & christinedate | 4.16.11 location | washington, mo ceremony | st pauls lutheran reception | wine and country gardens photography | sal cincotta & taylor cincotta st louis wedding photography by salvatore cincotta photography what a fun filled day in washington, mo! first of all, did someone forget it was spring? the weather in the midwest never ceases to amaze me. when we got to christine, it was 42 degrees!!! compare this to 80 something last week. unreal. the day started off like any other saturday, lots of preparation, hugs, and laughs. jim and christine are such an amazing couple with an even more amazing story. the real fun for the day, at least for me :), started when we climbed 3 stories onto the roof of an abandoned warehouse. insane!! and for those of you who know me, you might be thinking this was my idea, but NO,…
true to form... we found a new favorite spot in st louis. and no, don't ask me where. we will never tell. ;) the session started where they met, the venice cafe in st louis. we took some shots there and then ran across an abandoned warehouse that provided an amazing backdrop for some images. the session ended in the central west end at bissengers where we took some casual pics of them drinking some wine and relaxing with each other. if you have never been there, i highly recommend it. great dessert at the end of the night - cheesecake is to die for. can't wait for the wedding you two! we are going to have a blast. st louis wedding photography by salvatore cincotta photography

colleen & zach | dallas texas st louis wedding photography by sal cincotta so i have never been to dallas, well only on connecting flights, but in my short time there, i fell in love with the city. so many shooting opportunities its insane!! i flew in sunday morning and out sunday night, this after a saturday night wedding. :) i was exhausted to say the least, but colleen's energy is enough to get anyone excited. her and zach are beyond photogenic and were up for pretty much anything - so we rented an abandoned warehouse, shot the dallas skyline and found an abandoned building on the side of the highway. their wedding is going to be awesome, mostly because there are like 800 guests... :) sorry, inside joke. enjoy the pics.
john & heather | napa valley california st louis wedding photography by sal cincotta john and heather were an absolute blast to work with! these guys are wine whores just like we are, so shooting in napa seemed like the obvious choice - sorry if that was offensive to anyone - :) the shoot lasted nearly 3 hours... i am not sure, it could have been longer, but as anyone who has ever traveled with me knows... i get sidetracked very easily in gorgeous locations. so, we shot everywhere and anywhere including a mustard field, some random pickup truck, a tulip field, someone's doorway and reprimanded at a posh hotel because of their high profile guests and my camera - thought we were paparazzi. (its a long story) but in the end, we got some amazing pictures and had a great time getting to know both john and heather. their…
