Let me start by saying that these two are amazing; they did amazing, and they are surrounded by an amazing family.


Elizabeth and Brendan got married on a gorgeous day on the first of March in St. Louis, Missouri. The sun was shining, and despite a chill in the air, hearts felt blessed and full of love.



The bride got ready at her and her husband's new home. Her bridesmaids, Mom, and Mother-in-law were there. Elizabeth's gown was gorgeous and delicate as her Mom, Georgia, lovingly helped her daughter dress for the day. The bridesmaids waited excitedly to see Elizabeth in her gown for the first time, fully done up for her day, and they were blown away. Shortly after, Elizabeth took a private moment to read the letter Brendan had written to her before she walked down the aisle to say "I do".



Not too far away, the groom was at his parents' home, preparing to see his bride. There were a couple of hiccups when a couple of his groomsmen were hit with the flu bug, but the family stepped up and in to be there for Brendan. While some of the guys tried to figure out how to tie their ties, others decided that tying the tie around their heads and karate-chopping was the thing to do. We loved it! Later, Brendan had his letter from Elizabeth to read and an extra surprise: A pin that had pictures of both of his grandfathers who were there in spirit and something he could wear over his heart.



We whisked the bride and groom off to the church where the bride had a first look with her Dad.


After that, the wedding party loaded up in their limo, and we headed over to Bee Tree Park, where we had a blast grabbing photos of the wedding party and the couple themselves. We started by the water, but then the wind picked up, and we moved to another spot in the park.


Everyone was troopers, especially the ladies in their sleeveless and backless dresses on a cold and windy day, but we utilized blankets from the limo and captured some truly gorgeous and fun moments.


Champagne anyone?



At the reception, everyone was in the mood to celebrate the couple. They got loud, they cheered, they danced, and it was a truly great evening for all, although there were a lot of people "photobombing" at one point. 😄



Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.! Thank you to Elizabeth and Brendan for letting us be a part of their day. You two are amazing, and we had an absolute blast. Hugs!
