The Silver Lining bio picture

welcome to the silver lining!

we're amy and kim.

. . . and my oh my do we ever LOVE what we do! We delight in spending your wedding day in your shadow. We create your family's first heirlooms by artistically photographing not just what you wear but how you feel.

We are fabulous friends, kindred spirits & business partners, too. We live in Columbia, Missouri. And we've been making pictures for most of our lives. Photography, for us, is a way of "savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second." [Marc Riboud, French photographer]

Our SilverBox couples want THAT kind of passion in their wedding photographer. They want authentic pictures that capture the joyous, quirky, love-drenched, laughter-filled moments of their day.

We can hard wait to meet YOU!

Kim & I both LOVE documenting weddings. At the core I think we so love it because what we DELIGHT IN is documenting LIFE. For each of us [though we hadn't yet met] such joy became apparent when we became well, PARENTS. It’s that fierce attempt to reach out & grab & commit to memory...

trolley trips & cartwheels on campus

Each time I photograph a wedding, I discover yet another reason why I love this fast-paced, unpredictable, emotionally-rich work of wedding photojournalism. Reason #78 (or thereabouts…) from Lori & BJ’s wedding: getting to see and document the ways in which couples honor their loved ones. Before putting on her own dress, Lori wore her grandmother’s...

destination wedding: mid-Missouri!

What a treat to photograph Kimberly & Geoffrey’s wedding! Being a Missouri girl through and through, I loved their choices of locations to give their guests a true Missouri experience: – Friday’s Welcome Dinner at Kimberly’s folks’ home with a taste of several mid-Missouri goodies (Show Me barbecue sauce, Shake’s frozen custard…)- a ceremony at...
