Kat and Andy have one of my favorite pictures ever in their engagement session last year. Check it out here, it's the black and white 5th picture down. I had no doubt their wedding day would be just as beautiful and magical as that picture. Absolutely everything, Kat & Andy, their awesome family and friends, the fabulous wedding and talent that made it happen...magical.

Ceremonies and receptions that take place outside are the absolute the best. Add a couple that adores one another after miles of separation and the groom serving two duties for our country. Oh, there's also the ocean, La Jolla California to be exact. Love love all of this!

Joe and Jennifer remind me of a prince and princess. I'm thinking Snow White in particular and included images that are particularly relevant....mirrors, apple red, birds and a kiss. For the record, no evil queens or dwarfs.

Everything is so classically beautiful about Tessa and Dave's wedding. The bow ties, sweet tea, the small town where the ceremony and awesome backyard pictures took place. Oh and my favorite...the undeniable classic beauty of Tessa!

1 chandler hill winery clary photo.jpg
Matt and Laura have the best attitude. When it rained and rained on their wedding day they smiled and stayed adventurous. Some of this must come from being high school sweethearts.

Laura found a beautiful wildflower field to stop at but the bus would not, again it was raining and wet. That didn't stop them and we drove Laura and Matt back to the field and shot just a few before the rain returned. They are some of my favorite images along with the ones of Laura getting dressed and their first dance where you can see the rain...it look like sparks.

Doug and Jamie stepped out of their reception for 10 minutes and this is what happened.





The breeze, the light and perfect warmth, such a welcome after a stiflingly day of heat. Thank you for being awesome Doug and Jamie. Much appreciation to Stephanie for making the day flawless. And I completely agree with what you said about Jamie when looking at the first image..."her skin and cheekbones!! I die!"

You know those days when the clouds are perfect against a bright blue sky and all you want to do is lay on a blanket looking up to find the hearts out of the perfect cotton puffs? Ok, the last bit might just be me. Regardless, this perfect, epic day two people in love got married with all their family and loved ones supporting, enjoying Blake & Sarah.

If you remember Ryan and Chrissy's engagement session, everything about it was just them. Their wedding was the exact same way, orchestrated perfectly by Stephanie Burke from Fete STL. The wildflowers, purple, hundreds of turquoise mason jars, Chrissy headpiece worn for past weddings by her mother and grandmother, the rosemary in the bouquet and boutineer in remembrance of Chrissy grandfather, the ceremony at the chapel of their college, the fact that it was perfectly sunny out as soon as they walked out of their ceremony..."keep on the sunny-side is Chrissy farewell signature at the end of every email.



You two are awesome!! We wish you so much love and many more sunny days:)

Chrissy of Chrissy and Ryan says:

PS. Elliott's face in that last picture makes me laugh :) I love it! And, would you believe my Great Grandpa Harry MADE that canoe, and painted his initials on the bow himself (he was an artist like you!) and that my Great Grandma Olga lived to 99, I got to know her for almost 18 years of my life. I feel so incredibly lucky to have known her :) AGAIN, you are the BEST. Thank you so so so much!

I'm positive that the heavens light looks something like this because it makes me weak in the knees and is unexceptionably beautiful.

Where was this taken? In a small town in Illinois where Tanner and Kellie grew up. Tanner liked Kellie all through school. Kellie never much cared until her mom told her to go a date with Tanner in college. That was the end of it, they fell in love.
