Laura + Kevin wedding {by liz}

I LOVE snow! I know, everyone is done with it here in St. Louis. I must admit it has been a long winter. But in my personal opinion, if it’s going to be cold as hell then it may as well be pretty and snowy! So although it didn’t actually snow on Laura and Kevin’s big day, we had plenty of fun white stuff on the ground AND everyone was willing to play in it! Well, maybe no snow angels, but definitely a little hike through it. Thank you fun awesome wedding party! On with the photos!

Time to get dressed! This is a first – this bridesmaid’s dress took WAY longer to put on than Laura’s dress. This was a lace up and Laura’s zipped, which means I have like 10 photos of this gal getting into her dress and about 2 of Laura. :)

Gorgeous. Laura has amazing eyes that are circled in a ring of gold.

Next I headed downstairs to meet up with Kevin and the guys in the lobby. Where Laura tends to shy away from the camera, Kevin is great at hamming it up for me. Thanks Kevin!

Off into the snowy wilderness! Well, maybe just Forest Park. ;)

Good sports. It was a wee bit chilly for no sleeves and short skirts.

Laura cracked a joke during the ceremony. Humor is definitely her way of coping with anxiety…best approach as far as I’m concerned!

I was proud I caught this moment. And that he could stand up afterwards. :)

A perfectly centered bouquet toss is NOT normal. I kind of feel like yelling “Touchdown!”
