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!

could it be "in the water" ?

Jessica & Jamey, July 15, 2006, Boonville, Missouri: This little town of Boonville [pop. 8000] is about half an hour outside of Columbia and let me just say that the POSITIVE perspective of the people whose lives I’ve documented from there has been downright inspiring. 1st this example I shared with my friend Tracy Crowe...

girl stuff . . .

Was able to get together for some girl time this past weekend at a quiet little resort in Innsbrook, Missouri [about 45 minutes from the St. Louis airport.] We giggled about our college days, shared stories & dilemmas, went for a walk along the nature trail & swam in the lake. Pictured here: the dock...
