Manasi & Bill Marriott St. Louis Grand

These two have a love story that spans continents, and it was such a pleasure to photograph their gorgeous St. Louis wedding. Though Bill and Manasi currently live in Washington, DC, Bill proposed in Cinque Terre, with the stunning cliffs of the Italian coastline behind them. Originally from St. Louis, they decided to tie the knot back where it all began. The Crystal Ballroom was an amazing setting for their wedding; the brightness and light of the room accented the beautiful colors of their Hindu ceremony, and then was an incredibly elegant backdrop for their reception. Not only was this wedding gorgeous, but it was a blast for the guests:  one of the highlights of their reception was a flashmob-esque choreographed dance performed by their entire wedding party. What a day!

Ashley & Tyler | Windows on Washington Wedding

St. Louis, MO | Windows on Washington Wedding 

Romeo and Juliet. Jane and Rochester. Scarlett and Rhett. Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy. Ashley and Tyler are officially added to my mental list of timeless couples.  We had an amazing time with their Windows on Washington wedding. Their wedding was one of those weddings that you didn't want to end. It was filled with so much laughter, love, and happiness! Ashley and Tyler's love for each other and absolute delight at getting married seeped into every aspect of their wedding day. These two are absolutely, completely, unquestionably perfect for each other. Every moment of the day was full to the brim of emotion - Windows on Washington wedding photography like no other! From Ashley's dad's toast to her walk down the aisle to the look on Tyler's face when he first saw Ashley...all of it was incredible.

In addition to being completely wonderful people, Ashley and Tyler are one gorgeous couple. Ashley was a stunning bride in a strapless gown with chiffon rosettes. She completed her elegant wedding attire with classic diamond stud earrings, sparkly silver Jimmy Choos, a Kate Spade bracelet, and a custom belt handmade by her mother. Tyler paired his tailored suit (charcoal grey with blue pin stripes!) with a navy tie and polka dot socks, but his bright red vintage Vespa was a show-stopper. And, to really be the total package, Ashley and Tyler threw one heck of a party. Their amazing band, the Charles Glenn Group, kept the dance floor FULL. Everyone, from their college friends to Ashley's 92 year old grandfather, was on the dance floor. It was incredible. Back when Ashley and Tyler were dating, they used to sample different donut shops in St. Louis on Sunday mornings. As donut devotees, they decided to serve donuts from their favorite St. Louis donut shop, John's Donuts, instead of cake.

Y'all...this one was off the charts. As a photographer, there is nothing more rewarding than photographing the love and joy that accompany a wedding. Ashley and Tyler, we wish you many, many years of happiness, love, and laughter. This is just the beginning, and what a beginning it was.

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:

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.
