Blair & Nathan’s Real Wedding – St. Louis
Photos: Edyta Szyszlo Photography
I couldn’t have asked for a more laid back, fun, beautiful and sweet couple to end my 2009 wedding season! Blair and Nathan were set on having a good time and that is what we all did. I seriously think the stars aligned that day, and I truly appreciate how ‘game’ Blair and Nathan were for just about anything. Today, we have a wedding that combines light, romance, flirting, sexiness and fun-love all in one. A special thanks to my sidekick 2nd shooter Melissa, lots of photos here we go!!

Haha, I told the girls to “throw your hands up in the air” and they thought I meant throw the bouquets! AH! Miraculously, they weren’t too damaged ;) The ladies wore Jim Hjelm, back ruffle detail so pretty.

[...] Although there will always be staged, formal photos, couples are now introducing a trend of candid or humorous photography that better captures the wedding party. This can include props like funny sunglasses or costumes to help set the mood.
