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!!

We were all over the region for the day – O’Fallon, IL to downtown St. Louis back to Troy/O’Fallon. Whew!

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. The candid part of the photo session will make the nervous wedding party more relaxed and make something really memorable to look back on. source [...]

These are beautiful!! If you don’t mind my asking, where were the barn/silo/field pictures taken? My fiance and I love barns :)

thanks so much! they were located east of st. louis in a town filled with soy bean fields. the couple lived nearby. honestly, i can’t quite recall since i’m not from there ;) but i believe it was another highway branching from 44east.
