Ying & Marko - Missouri Botanical Garden, Ritz Carlton Wedding Photography

Ying and Marko - what an incredible wedding! Ying was an absolutely gorgeous bride, and Marko was a positively debonaire groom. Their wedding was effortlessly elegant, and their intimate day was full of their family and friends, from near and far. Ying and Marko both got ready at the Ritz Carlton St. Louis, but they waited to see each other until the moment Ying walked down the aisle. Their ceremony at Assumption Greek Orthodox Church was amazing - the priest was a family friend, and the church itself is incredible, with its towering ceilings and gorgeous art covering the walls. Ying wore a Maggie Sottero gown with a beautiful lace keyhole back. Her incredible gown, hairpieces, jewelry, and the bridesmaid dresses were all from her mother's bridal shop, Helen's Bridal. For their creative photos, we went to the Missoui Botanical Gardens; the classically elegant gardens were the perfect fit for this wedding. I could gush for days about how beautiful it all was (I haven't even mentioned Ying's shoes yet! Love Betsey Johnsn.), but I'd rather say how wonderful Ying and Marko are. They truly make an incredible couple, and they are both so personable, funny, and genuine. It was an absolute honor to photograph their wedding. Here are some of our favorite photos from their wedding.

Ashley & Tim's St. Louis Botanical Gardens Wedding

Ashley and Timothy had a beautiful ceremony at the Botanical Gardens and then their reception at the Norman K. Probstein golf course. What perfect locations for a beautiful summer wedding! Ashley was a stunning bride in a gorgeous ivory lace gown, carrying a stunning bouquet of pink roses, and for her bridesmaids, she chose navy dresses with hot pink flowers. The groomsmen wore grey suits, with navy and pink striped ties. The modern color palette was perfect for the bright summer day, and each location really highlights the color and personality of this wedding. It's awesome to see a couple like Tim and Ashley get married - the two are so happy and their love for each other is obvious to everyone. We had an amazing time watching them tie the knot and celebrate with their nearest and dearest. Congratulations, Tim and Ashley!

Jeff and Camilla's Wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens

Loved seeing these two get married. Andy met Jeff through their shared love of basketball (Sunday leagues, Tuesday leagues, street basketball tournaments, every Y in St. Louis, you name it!). Over the past few years, we've had the best time getting to know him and Camilla. Some of my favorite photos from the day were from Jeff and his groomsmen playing basketball before the ceremony. So fitting. The weather for their April wedding was beautiful, and the Missouri Botanical Garden was the perfect setting for their (incredibly fun) reception. Great job by the DJ, Suit & Tie.
