Kevin + Mary Wedding | St. Louis, MO

I had such a blast photographing Kevin and Mary's wedding this month and feel so lucky to have been a part of it!! Jason Bax assisted me in the endeavor and we both agreed it couldn't get much better from a photographer's perspective. The day began on the gorgeous grounds of the Glen Echo County Club, one of the oldest 18 hole county clubs west of the Mississippi. Somehow, someway, the temperatures hit the upper 60's!!! We took full advantage of this of course and did all of the bride and groom and family portraits outside. I still can't get over how warm it was. Karma must have certainly been on their side! It's no wonder though as Kevin and Mary radiate so much positivity.

After the ceremony we took a limo ride downtown to The Four Seasons for some more photo opts and a little downtime before the reception. And what a reception it was!!! The Lumen is quite the venue with 20 foot ceilings and a color changing LED lighting system. All of this combined with a very energetic performance from the U2 cover band Elevation to make this a very lively and memorable evening for Mary and Kevin and their friends and family. The undisputed highlight of the evening was when Kevin got on stage to play the piano (which he took special lessons for!) and sang Beautiful Day to his new bride. This was a complete surprise to Mary - as evidenced by the look on her face. :) Oh! So much fun.

Here are some of our favorite beautiful moments from their very beautiful day...
