Emily and Jim are a fun and laid back couple… Jim makes Emily laugh so much that sometimes it is hard to catch them NOT laughing together in photos…  Trust me, this is a good problem to have!  They got married at the Music Stand in Tower Grove and walked next door for cocktails and reception at the Piper Palm House… such a fun combo!  We began our days at the Moonrise….

This head piece was stunning… you’ll see.

see?!?  it was the perfect touch.

Jim getting dapper– I’m loving the pinstripes!

First look on the roof….

I *think* they are happy to see on another LOL

Gorgeous weather for a park wedding!

Ceremony time!

I like it when both parents come down the aisle… why should the Dad’s get to all the fun?

married!

Yes, the lemon escort cards smelled as good as they looked.

Hi Erin and Faisal!  In a freak bit of kismet, I got to meet these two, whose wedding I am shooting next May.  They are out of towners, so we had only spoken by phone, but they recognized me from the internet and we were able to meet in person and chat a bit — too funny!  It is truly a small world sometimes.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day!  with love, kate
