Sheena and Tyler got married on 5.18 (as you can see by their cute craft & raffia wrapped invites below!)

We broke tradition by not starting with the shiny things, so they get to come in second today!

Funny that in the dress photo, that is the Renaissance Grand out the window behind the dress, which is where Tyler was!

love these big smiles as Sheena is getting into her gown- gorgeous!

and in comes Sheena’s gift from Ty… his name is Leroy and he belonged to Tyler as a child. His grandmother had apparently been sewing him a tuxedo to get him ready for the wedding — too funny!!

now to the boys… love their classic black ties

and cute little welcome bags that all the guests received with fun St. Louis “stuff”!

Time to get married…off to the Jewel Box in Forest Park

a quick hand squeeze before the ceremony to ease nerves

I love this…looks like one last serene moment amongst the craziness!

and here comes the bride

and they’re married, just like that!

now for a few portraits around the park before heading to the reception at Windows on Washington!

guest sign in tree… how cute are those the little love birds?!

I love stripe-y straws.  They never get old.

Tyler looks like he might be up to something, but he was a total cake gentleman

the glasses sat ‘I DO!’ on the bottom–cute!

looks like a little Backstreet Boy in the making… I have a few more photos of this guy doing some pretty sweet moves!

Thanks guys for letting me capture your day! xo, kate
