Dena and Steve tied the knot recently at one of my favorite places in the Missouri area to photograph an outdoor wedding - The Gardens of Malmaison at St. Albans. We even lucked out with some blue skys to add to their beautiful day. As a photographer I don't think I could have asked for much else - a sweet couple and their sweet family and friends, in a most picturesque setting. Here are some of my personal favorites that come from such a perfect combination...
I had been looking forward to Matt and Stephanie's wedding for over a year!!! I loved getting to know them, and their three sons, during their engagement/family photo session in the fall of 08. I remember being so impressed by how sweet, FUN, and well behaved their boys were. Whatever they're doing as parents they're sure doing it right! It was a very refreshing experience.
I would have to say Stephanie and Matt's marriage was all the more special as it strengthened an already strong foundation. And of course, their wedding was as beautiful as anticipated. It took place on June 5th on a gorgeous day in Tower Grove Park. I love photographing outdoor weddings in 70 degree weather!!! I also love being in the company of the bride and groom's very genuine and down to earth friends and family. :)
We captured some very lovely images and, as always, here are a few of my personal faves from their day. Enjoy!
Stephanie looked absolutely breathtaking as she arrived to her ceremony in a horse drawn carriage.
They were married at the Music Stand - built in the late 1800's. 
Zee lovely Piper Palm House.
This little cake topper is hilarious!!! Stephanie is actually a nurse and Matt a cop.
It's not every day you get to photograph a Winkelmeier Wedding! Mike and Kate are just two peas in a pod who have already been together for over a decade. Their wedding day was filled with their loved ones who have known them as a couple for a very long time. Once again, I feel so very honored to be a part of something so special. Their wedding took place in Washington, Missouri - such a beautiful part of the state! My favorite part of the day was during our time outside at the Balducci Vineyards. We went here before the reception to capture some very fine moments of the bride and groom and their bridal party. What a fun bunch!!! Here is a selection of my faves... :)
One of the many beautiful moments captured by Ms. Julie Enstall. Thank you Julie!!!
I LOVE capturing creative bridal party images.
