"Vintage Pastel" Stylized Shoot - St. Louis Wedding Photographer

Vintage Pastel from 4 a.m. Visuals on Vimeo.

Some of you may remember a stylized shoot "Vintage Pastel" that the lovely Jenny Hodges of Moondance Photography and myself created last Summer.  We could not have done it without the help of the AMAZING vendors who came out and put their creative touches on Vintage Pastel.  Not only was is a wonderful day, but the friendships that were made that day among vendors and photographers involved just made it that much more special :)

Love it!!!

If you are interested in attending a stylized shoot, please contact me!

Special thanks to the lovely Lizzie Weber for allowing us to use her song "Lighthouse" for the video.  Make sure to check out her self titled album on Spotify and purchase it on iTunes!

Spencer and Ellen MARRIED - Mad Art Gallery, St. Louis MO Wedding Photographer

Hello there!  Now that wedding season has calmed down a bit, I have time to dedicate to blogging St. Louis weddings and engagement sessions.  It's been a busy year and I thank all of my fabulous couples for choosing me to capture their special day.

Ellen and Spencer were married on a gorgeous October day in St. Louis.  Them and their wedding parties got ready at the lovely and vibrant Lumiere Hotel in downtown St. Louis.

Isn't Ellen drop dead gorgeous?!?!?!?  Spencer and Ellen took advantage of their time and location and opted to do a "First Look" which I absolutely love.  Not only is it romantic, but you get to talk to each other and calm your nerves, take it all in, and then spend the rest of your wedding day TOGETHER.  Love first looks!

See what I mean? :)

Then we headed over to Lafayette Square for Bridal Party and Family Portraits.

Spencer and Ellen were married at the fabulous Mad Art Gallery in St. Louis.  They have an outdoor courtyard area for ceremonies and of course the indoor art gallery for wedding receptions.

Ellen and Spencer love board games and chose a "Clue" theme for their wedding reception.

How cool is that?!?!?  Ellen is very much into antiques (love it) and did an amazing job collecting pieces and putting them together for her table centerpieces.  High five lady!
