A Styled Shoot: Blush & Silver at Longview Farm

St. Louis Film Wedding Photography | St. Louis Wedding Photographers

A beautiful farmhouse, incredible details, a glamorous vintage Hillman, and a stunning couple? Sign me up! We are so so happy with how this styled shoot turned out! Huge thanks to all the vendors listed below that made this happen and a special thanks to Michelle from Absolutely In Events for putting this whole shoot together. We are so lucky to have worked with such a phenomenal team! Michelle's vision of blush, silver, and soft lace was perfectly executed. The Longview Farmhouse was a perfect venue; it's gardens and elegant, but homey feel set off this shoot beautifully. Sarah, our bride, was stunning in her Judd Waddell gown from Fleur De Lis Bridal Boutique, and our bridesmaids wore dresses from Bella Brdiesmaid. Their hair/makeup by Emily Miller could not have been more dreamy! The flowers by Bloomin' Buckets were stunning: soft and ethereal with layers and layers of texture. The cakes by Jilly's Cupcake Bar were incredible, and the food by Villa Farotto looked so delicious. Invitations and paper goods by M. Haley Design, decor from Grand Rental Station, and linens from Connie Duglin Linens lent their stunning pieces to this shoot.

The shoot was shot mostly on Fuji 400 film. We can't get enough of how film captures color in such a soft and beautiful way. It was such a pleasure to photograph this shoot - it's simply amazing to see the caliber of work that these vendors produce!

Edit:  Happy to say this shoot has been featured by Style Me Pretty! Check it out here.

Emily & Rick's Jewel Box and Crowne Plaza Wedding

Emily and Rick had an absolutely amazing wedding! They had their ceremony at the wonderful Forest Park Jewel Box, followed by a reception at the Crowne Plaza in Clayton. Although we had a few bursts of rain, we were so lucky to have a beautiful June day. Emily and Rick live in Texas, but choose to get married here, in Emily's hometown. Emily was a simply stunning bride. Her gown and jewelry were very classic and elegant, and her white shoes with sparkly bows on the side were the perfect finishing touch. I still can't get over how perfect her hair and make-up were! Rick was a dapper groom in his gray tux with white pocket square, and Emily's bridesmaids wore green dresses and carried colorful bouquets. Cheerful and bright - perfect for a summer wedding in the Jewel Box! 

These two are a fantastic couple - they laugh often, are so warm and welcoming, and obviously love each other to pieces. Their wedding was a perfect day - Emily and Rick shared their vows surrounded by their friends and family, and then they celebrated and danced the night away. 

Congratulations, Emily and Rick! It was such a pleasure to be a part of your wedding day.
