Chaumette Winery Wedding Photography: Erin & Mikko

What better way to spend the first Saturday of November than photographing a gorgeous fall wedding at Chaumette Winery. Love Chaumette Winery Wedding Photography! Erin and Mikko are an amazing, amazing couple, and photographing their Chaumette Winery wedding was truly a pleasure.  The two are incredibly talented creatives themselves; they head up No Frames creative+production, where they create and produce phenomenal cinematography. Their wedding was intimate, elegant, and every inch Erin and Mikko. Erin was an absolutely gorgeous bride; she was a vision in her black and blush colored gown by Vera Wang Couture. Mikko wore a crisply tailored Hugo Boss tuxedo, and a camera was never too far from his hand. His best man Roberto, a fellow filmmaker, captured parts of the day when Mikko was otherwise occupied (like, you know, when he was saying his vows)... Can't wait to see the wedding film they put together. It was a chilly November day, but so worth it. The sky, fall leaves, and rolling hills made the perfect setting... Hard to beat Chaumette Winery wedding photography! Here are a few of our favorites from Erin & Mikko's wedding day:

Melissa & Eliot - World's Fair Pavilion, Forest Park

This is going to be a long one. This wedding was incredibly lovely though, so you will have to bear with our inability to skip any of these images. Melissa and Eliot are a simply wonderful couple. They make a beautiful pair, they have impeccable taste, and they are a complete pleasure to be around. What a wild wedding - theirs was one for the record books. As you can see, Melissa was a stunning bride, and I truly cannot image a more perfect dress for her. Her gown was a lace and satin dream designed by Lazaro. Her bridesmaids wore classically chic black dresses from J. Crew. Throughout their day, Melissa and Eliot incorporated elements of black and white, calligraphy, and gold accents. The combination was stunning - subtle, classic, and quintessentially elegant. The World's Fair Pavilion is a beautiful venue, with views of the park and incredible evening light. There were a few glitches, like the brutal heat and a freak thunderstorm that whipped through their reception, but their wedding was beautiful and we were so happy to see these two get hitched. Some couples just seem completely right together, and Melissa and Eliot are absolutely one of them. Here are some of our favorite photos from their wedding day!

Ryan & John's Wedding - Forest Park Golf Course Wedding Photography

On June 29, John and Ryan tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at St. Cecilia's and afterward, they celebrated with their nearest and dearest at the Norman K. Probstein Golf Course at Forest Park. Forest Park Golf Course wedding photography is some of the best! It is so awesome to be so close to all the locations in Forest Park. Forest Park wedding photography is an awesome bonus of St. Louis - it's such a gorgeous and large park. What an amazing wedding! John and Ryan are such an awesome couple - they are such fun, lovely, and genuinely kind people. Ryan made an absolutely stunning bride, and she was so laid back about the whole day. To complement her classic gown and pearl hairpiece, Ryan wore some wicked silver Nike Dunks (seriously, how awesome is that?). Ryan figured that since her shoes wouldn't show anyway, she might as well be comfortable. With the groom in a classic tux and bow-tie, John and Ryan had a timelessly elegant and classic look. Luckily, the rain held off for most of the day, and we love the images we captured from their gorgeous day. A special thank you to Rob, Janelle, John, and Keri for being so lovely and gracious to us throughout the wedding day!

Congratulations, John & Ryan! We loved being a part of your wedding.

Chandler Hill Wedding Photography - Jennifer & Steve

Chandler Hill Vineyard wedding photography is the absolute best. Beautiful weather. Amazing couple. Gorgeous handmade details. Epic sunset.  Without stretching your imagination, you can probably see why this wedding is one of my favorites. First, Chandler Hill is one of my favorite venues, and as a result, Chandler Hill wedding photography is another favorite. The vines and rolling hills remind me of my home state of Virginia, and it's such an abrupt change from photographing in St. Louis city. Jennifer and Steve are truly lovely people, and from our first meeting with them, we have been so looking forward to this wedding. The day didn't have a very promising start; a steady rain is not at all what you want to see a few hours before an outdoor ceremony. But Jennifer and Steve were in luck - the skies cleared, the deck dried off, and the temperature was mild (oh, St. Louis, how I loathe your 100+ degree weather). It was the perfect setting, beautifully accented by Jenn's carefully crafted decor. With clear skies, their Chandler Hill wedding photography went off without a hitch. Throughout the day, it was clear how dearly loved Jenn and Steve are by their family and friends, and Jenn and Steve incorporated their nearest and dearest in every aspect of the day. Jenn's sister pinned on a locket with a photo of their mother to her dress. Steve's brother-in-law conducted their ceremony, and the toasts were heartfelt and poignant (I'll just say that there weren't many dry eyes left by the end). We were so happy to see these two get married on such a beautiful day. Here are some of our favorite photos:
