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.

We’ve had such glorious autumn weather here in St. Louis, and it served as the perfect setting for Beth and Bill’s wedding at City Cottage. It was our first time at City Cottage (a perfect blend of urban and rustic romance), and Beth and Bill are just awesome. The end result was a really special day (don’t get us started on their ceremony – we both had tears in our eyes!). There was so much love in that place! And there was also pie. What more could you want?

From the moment we first met Leah & Mickey, we knew their wedding was going to be a classy and elegant affair. And their black & white wedding on the rooftop at the Taj Boston did not disappoint! From the letterpress invitations to the black peplum maids dresses to the checkerboard dance floor to that stunning floral cake – every detail was perfect. Not to mention, Leah & Mickey’s goldendoodle, Stanley, was one of the most handsome ring bearers we’ve ever seen!
