Wedding at Chandler Hill in St. Louis
Annie and Mat, you guys were a joy to work with! And thank you Chandler Hill for always being such a beautiful backdrop for a wedding day. (Gosh, we’re lucky to do this job!)
As much as we love a showstopper of a wedding, it’s important to remember that when all is said and done it’s the getting married that is the really special part. Putting their wedding together in just a month, making their vows on the hearth of the fireplace in Aliza’s childhood home, surrounded by only the closest of friends and family, Aliza & Adam reminded us again of what we love the most about weddings – the family, the love, and the joy of celebrating life together, forever. Congratulations, Aliza & Adam!
Meg and Corey have been so patiently waiting for a sneak peek at their wedding pictures (Fun fact: April and I BOTH have brand new babies, so we’re running a little behind in blogging these days!), so I’m going to get right to the goods. But I must say first how incredibly kind and lovely these two are. Meg is the kind of person you just want to give a big hug to as soon as you meet her, and she and Corey are SUCH a fantastic pair. (We also want to thank our very talented friend Jean Spencer for shooting this wedding along side me since April was in labor that day – EEK! We love you, Jean!)

One of the things we love most about our job is that after 10 years of photographing weddings we still see something new and exciting at each one. Sometimes it’s as simple as the look between the bride and groom or an unusual dress or floral arrangement. And sometimes we get MAGICIANS! JUGGLERS! and AERIALISTS!
Cassandra and Benjamin’s wedding at the United Palace Theater was truly one for the record books. Both are professional magicians and their wedding was both an intimate and family focused affair (Cassy’s parents did her hair & makeup and designed all the bridal accessories, chuppah and flowers!) as well as a total showstopper showcasing their mutual love of the song & dance of vaudville and the glamor of Old Hollywood.
