Chrissy and Ryan were married on a beautiful day in September in St. Charles, MO. I love these two. They seem to me like friends first and couple second, and I tend to be of the mindset that a great friendship is the basis for an even better relationship. (That being said, I have no training or expertise to back up that statement!)

Ryan wasn’t the biggest fan of having his photo taken, but I eventually got him to warm up to me. It did take a little coaxing, some sarcasm and a few completely inappropriate comments but it was totally worth it. Chrissy however the other hand is photogenic to the core and has an infectious smile, thus making my job simple. Any couple who enjoys their wedding day, laughs together, lives in every moment and just takes everything in stride is going to have beautiful photos from their wedding day. Nothing is more important.

Now that’s a ring!  Nice job Ryan.

Getting ready at the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa in St. Charles.  I love the dramatic lighting over the headboard.

One of my favorite moments from the day.

Beautiful Chrissy.

Off to the church!

Hmmm…I wonder what this is all about.  That’s Ryan there on the left.

Another favorite moment.  The priests’ thumbs up coupled with Ryan’s face makes the shot for me.

Married!

Pretty wedding party!

I loved the vibrant colors and the bright overcast day just made them that much brighter in the photos!

Love.

Favorite portrait.

Off to the Foundry Art Center for some cake, cocktails and boogeying.

Don’t do it Ryan.  You will regret it.

Happy toasts!

Love the way the cafe lights reflect on the smooth cement dance floor.

You guys rock!  Thank you so much for having me!  With love, Liz
