Jeff and Camilla's Wedding at the Missouri Botanical Gardens

Loved seeing these two get married. Andy met Jeff through their shared love of basketball (Sunday leagues, Tuesday leagues, street basketball tournaments, every Y in St. Louis, you name it!). Over the past few years, we've had the best time getting to know him and Camilla. Some of my favorite photos from the day were from Jeff and his groomsmen playing basketball before the ceremony. So fitting. The weather for their April wedding was beautiful, and the Missouri Botanical Garden was the perfect setting for their (incredibly fun) reception. Great job by the DJ, Suit & Tie.

A Quick Preview - Nikki & Donnie's Saint Charles, MO Wedding

What an awesome wedding! When we woke up Saturday morning, the skies were gloomy and rain was pouring down (uh oh!). A few hours later, the skies had cleared, the ground had dried, and Nikki and Donnie were starting their marriage on a beautiful March day. Nikki was a stunning bride in gorgeous lace gown by Mori Lee, and Donnie was quite dapper in his grey tux. We had a blast with these two - they have lovely families, great senses of humor, and I don't think they could be any nicer. Truly wonderful people, and we are so happy for them!

The bottom picture is from the shoe game. Nikki and Donnie sat back-to-back and they were each given one of Nikki's shoes and one of Donnie's shoes. The awesome DJ Elizabeth from Complete Music asked them a question, like "Who is the fun one?" and "Who pays the bills?" They each answered by holding up the respective shoe for their answer, but weren't able to see how the other answered.  It was HILARIOUS. We were belly laughing right along with the crowd. Whatever question this was, you can tell people loved their answer. Nikki's maid of honor, Jessica, is giving a solid fist pump, Nikki's dad is cracking up, and even little Jackson is raising his hand. LOVE moments like this.

Wedding: Nicci & Jesse – Charlottesville, Virginia

 

I'm excited to share the full post from Nicci and Jesse's wedding! Despite it being mid-February, we were able to do most of our photos outside, and I feel like the winter colors were the perfect compliment to their day. Subdued, a bit vintage, and wonderfully soft. Both their ceremony and reception were held at the picturesque Early Mountain Vineyards, which was truly the perfect setting for their intimate wedding. I love weddings that feel like a gathering of close friends and family, laughing and eating, crying over toasts, and making a statement on the dancefloor. That's exactly how this wedding was...intimate, lovely, tender. It was an honor to be a part of it - congrats, Nicci & Jesse.

A Quick Preview - Nicci & Jesse's Charlottesville, Virginia Wedding

  We can't help but post a quick preview of the recent wedding out in Charlottesville, VA. I love love stories, and this couple had a good one. They have adventured across the world together (their story spans the entire US, from Virginia to Montana to California, and most recently, they spent 6 months living in Thailand) and I love that their adventures together are only just beginning. This wedding was full of the loveliest details, from Nicci's dress (her mother's!) to the flowers in her hair, but my favorite part was the way Nicci and Jesse looked at each other as they said their vows. We'll share more photos soon, but enjoy this quick peek in the meantime.
