Rainy, Romantic Wedding

I had a great opportunity to shoot with Jenny again. It was very wet and cold yesterday, but we still managed to find some great photos amidst the bad weather. Truth be told, I kind of like it when the weather doesn't "cooperate" because it challenges me to think outside the box and not rely on pretty flowers and sunsets to make the pictures beautiful.







I just couldn't get enough of the kids in the wedding, especially this flower girl.



Stacy and Zia had a very intimate wedding at the Hawken House in Webster Groves. This is a great venue for a <100 guest wedding. Stacy's beautiful dress was made by her sister and matron of honor, Stephanie.




Zia's sister also did something that I hadn't seen yet - she passed out 10 sealed envelopes to each table. During her toast, she gave a humorous and touching summary of Zia's life leading up to meeting Stacy. She asked the tables to open the envelopes one by one during the speech and saw corresponding pictures of Zia. I thought this was a great idea and loved seeing Zia's parents looking at a picture of their son.

Congratulations to Zia and Stephanie!!
