Megan & Evan's Third Degree Glass Factory Wedding

These two! We started the day at Megan's parents' beautiful home in the Central West End, and by the time we arrived at the Cheshire Hotel for Evan's getting ready (in the James Bond room nonetheless!), we knew it was going to be an amazing day. Megan was a stunning bride in her Essence of Australia gown from Ultimate Bride (that delicate lace!) and Evan was her perfect counterpart in his dashing Vera Wang tux. Megan and Evan are a gorgeous couple, classically elegant, so personable, and so completely head over heels for each other. Their ceremony was held at St. Roch's Parish, followed by a reception at the Third Degree Glass Factory. We couldn't have been happier to photograph this incredible day.

Emily & Rick's Jewel Box and Crowne Plaza Wedding

Emily and Rick had an absolutely amazing wedding! They had their ceremony at the wonderful Forest Park Jewel Box, followed by a reception at the Crowne Plaza in Clayton. Although we had a few bursts of rain, we were so lucky to have a beautiful June day. Emily and Rick live in Texas, but choose to get married here, in Emily's hometown. Emily was a simply stunning bride. Her gown and jewelry were very classic and elegant, and her white shoes with sparkly bows on the side were the perfect finishing touch. I still can't get over how perfect her hair and make-up were! Rick was a dapper groom in his gray tux with white pocket square, and Emily's bridesmaids wore green dresses and carried colorful bouquets. Cheerful and bright - perfect for a summer wedding in the Jewel Box! 

These two are a fantastic couple - they laugh often, are so warm and welcoming, and obviously love each other to pieces. Their wedding was a perfect day - Emily and Rick shared their vows surrounded by their friends and family, and then they celebrated and danced the night away. 

Congratulations, Emily and Rick! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your 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.
