Breanna & Matt's Forest Park Engagement Session

This gorgeous couple will be tying the knot in October at the City Museum in downtown St. Louis. Breanna and Matt are so sweet and so perfect for each other. For their engagement session, we wanted to capture some great outdoor images of the two of them with their dogs. We started out their session at Forest Park. Forest Park is amazing - it seems no matter how many times we shoot there, we are always able to find new spots that we love. After the park, we went down to an old industrial train area to add some dramatic, structural photos. We can't wait for their October wedding!

Stephanie & Joe - St. Louis Muny Wedding Photography

Stephanie and Joe had an incredible wedding, full of personality and with tons of lovingly made details. Stephanie was head-to-toe grace and beauty, from her elegant updo to her lace applique shoes. She carried a stunning bouquet of fabric flowers (designed by the amazing Maggie at Peacock Blooms). Around her bouquet, she carried her grandmother's rosary. The bridesmaids wore long gowns in shades of blush and champagne, and carried bouquets made from baby's breath. Three adorable flower girls in white dresses and lace headbands carried baby's breath poms. Joe and his groomsmen wore tan suits with coffee ties, which perfectly complemented the burlap and lace decor spread throughout the day. The light and airy accents paired perfectly, and their St. Louis Muny wedding photography is some of our favorite. For their ceremony at the Muny, Stephanie walked down the aisle to bagpipers, and a good friend officiated the ceremony. Their reception was held at the Moto Museum, and during cocktail hour, their guests mingled among classic and vintage bikes. The band, EXIT 180, kept everyone dancing and hanging out until well into the evening. It was a beautiful wedding (definitely reflected Stephanie's impeccable taste!), but more importantly, it was a reflection of them as a couple. We are so thankful to have been a part of this wedding (and that the rain held off!), and we are excited to share some of our favorite photos.

Congratulations to this beautiful couple!

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.
