Stephanie & Jim’s Real Wedding - St. Louis

I promised on my “town of toasted ravioli post” to display some wedding photos from my trip down to St. Louis for Stephanie and Jim’s wedding! I’ve been told by several people that I must of brought spring with me that weekend (mid 70s and sunny) since they had a huge snowstorm right after I left! But I think it was just the love in the air from Stephanie and Jim :) I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to work with or a more beautiful and relaxed day. You guys truly made my work day easy! Super fun, sweet, and totally in love are just some of the few ways to describe them. Check out more of their images and details….

Not only were they fun but their bridal party was out to have a good time as well! Can I just add how sharp and elegant everyone looked. This is a great example how black can really be worn anytime of the year for bridesmaids, especially if you are looking for a clean and sophisticated look.

The reception located in a loft-space downtown. The details were very elegant and funky. Tabletop centerpieces filled with flowers colored in variations of lime green, orange and pink. Very modern clear vases filled with pears to compliment the greens surrounded. Very stylish and clean - thanks to Jackie Davis, owner of Elegance by Design. So many favorite moments to chose from, but I have to say that the best man speech was one of the best combinations of kind words and hilarious reminiscing!
Vendors:
Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, Windows on Washington (reception 8th floor), Elegance by Design (flowers & coordination), The Cakery Bakery (cake), Rhythm Rockers (amazing live band), Best Transportation (on time everywhere). Shoot me an email for contact info for any of these because some do not have websites.

Edyta,
I can’t tell you how much we loved having you for our wedding! We’ve gotten so many compliments on how the pictures turned out and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Your laid-back attitued really put us at ease during what is usually though of as the happiest, yet most ’stressful’ day of your life!!! You are such a professional and so much fun to work with, which helped us loosen up and relax in front of the camera! We really enjoyed ourselves and you definitely caught that in all of your pictures! Unlike many of our friends, we were able to print out a lot of our wedding pictures to hang up in our house - because they are so unique and interesting looking - not your everyday wedding portraits, which was really cool!!
Seriously, we LOVED working with you and can’t wait to see you again for my sister Marisa’s wedding!!!!
Steph & Jim
