Steph + Tyson got married

Their day began for us with the gorgeous bride getting ready at their home. Her dress is STUNNING as is she.
This is such a lovely sweet couple. Their wedding had a classic elegance with a modern underpinning. They are SO IN LOVE with each other and it shows. After a lovely first look at Neo we headed off to Forest Park for some awesome wedding day portraits before the ceremony.
Neo is a really beautiful location with a modern and rustic mix and a beautiful bank of windows behind the stage. After the ceremony the couple celebrated with a beautiful reception upstairs and danced the night away! Enjoy the photos!hre
and then off to the wedding!

and then to the party!

Congratulation Steph and Tyson!

These two are just delightful. I’m honored to have shared their day. They were married in September on a gorgeous fall day inside a historic Jesuit Seminary now Bible College Chapel. The setting was hauntingly beautiful and the people oh so in love! Please enjoy a little taste of their beautiful vows, details, etc.

Congratulations to Amy and Dennis and their families!

Maria and Juan’s Simple Beautiful Forest Park wedding and engagement session

cate — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 21:05:04 +0000

It’s always really nice to photograph bride’s and grooms on their wedding day! Maria and Juan are having a big wedding in her home country of Equador later this year, but they decided to make it legal early with an intimate Forest Park wedding and a super sweet private engagement session in Kennedy Forest. Kennedy Forest is one of those amazing lesser known spots in the park which includes walking trails, footbridges and gorgeous trees and foliage. With their classic style, photogenic looks, and expressive personalities it made for quite a beautiful affair. After the session we headed over to the Grand Basin, which is the location of the original 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair for the short but sweet ceremony with family and friends.
And then we were off to The Four Seasons Hotel and restaurant Cielo for a little after party…
Congratulations Maria and Juan!

This is one ROCK N ROLL couple! Andrea and Lewy rule. They were married at the Jefferson Underground in St. Louis. It’s a unique indoor/outdoor rooftop venue with lots of urban charm. The couple decorated with eco friendly choices, using mostly recycled and recyclable materials in their decor.
Close friends as well as the Mother of the Bride gathered at the couple’s retro inspired home for the early photos of the bride before the big day.
As you can see we did a pretty extensive post wedding pre reception session. It was a blast!

So, these guys are truly in LOVE and SO romantic. They chose to have their engagement session at the actual place they were engaged. Right where he carved “Will you Marry Me?” into a tree and hung the engagement ring on said tree. You can see why they are getting married. They even brought their cute little dog Sunny along.
And then we headed over for the rest of their session to an antique grain mill just down the road…
