MO Botanical Garden & Jewel Box Wedding
We knew this day would be pretty because Katie Saeger and her team were in charge of design. And we knew it would be fun because Katie and Adam are so easy to be around. These two were thrown a few loops during their wedding planning, and even on the day of (we’ve had SUCH a rainy summer in St. Louis so far… need I say more?) but they handled it all with such grace and good spirits (We’ve rarely had more fun during bridal prep because Katie and her bridesmaids – who are amazing singers – had a playlist full of showtunes. No complaints from these photographers!). Add in the most perfect flowers by Tina Barrera, pretty paper goodies by Livia Paul and well…happy campers, rain and all.

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?

Just after Christmas, we got to photograph the wedding of my husband’s great friend Dan and his love Michaela. While we’re fond of all our couples, naturally it’s especially meaningful to be part of the weddings of friends. We got lucky with some warm weather (relatively speaking, of course – We’re still adjusting to not having LA temperatures while shooting!), worked with some great vendors, and to top it off, I got to spend the reception being a guest! Many thanks to Lauren Winchester for photographing that part of the day with April so that I could have some wine and dance with my hubby. Kayla and Dan (and darling Charlotte), we love you! XOXO.

Hooray! Now that it’s been featured on Ruffled, we can share photos with you of the sorbet inspired shoot we put together in Saint Louis earlier this summer. We wanted to do something fun to get our creative juices flowing in the middle of a hectic wedding season, and also have an excuse to work with a few of our favorite local wedding peeps. We crafted and thrifted and pinned for weeks, and enjoyed every minute of it. We’re blown away by, and so grateful for, what everyone contributed. Once the room was decorated, our socks were officially knocked off! We were trying to scheme up ways that we could just hang out for several extra hours soaking in the colorful, happy space even after the shoot was done.
An enormous thank you to everyone who worked on this with us!
