We have Camilla and Samuel, but you can't forget their sweet boy, Sulley.

Our day started at The Renaissance Wine and Garden in Foristell, Missouri. One of the first things I need to say right out the gate, Camilla and Samuel were truly surrounded with family and friends that stepped up in so many ways to help them bring their day together. It was a joy to watch and see such love and support. They couldn't have asked for better bridesmaids, groomsmen and family.

While getting ready, Camilla's wedding party helped the bride with her make-up and then later we captured loving moments between Mom and daughter as we got Camilla into her bridal gown.

It was a warm day! Woo! It was warm! But Camilla wasn't effected. She was so excited to marry Samuel and those feelings were reciprocated.

One of my favorite moments was the first look with Camilla and her Dad. It was definitely one of those if you cry, I'm gonna cry moments and I believe we were all crying. Such a sweet moment.

These two decided on a first look, but before Samuel got to see his gorgeous bride the two shared their written vows to each other before the ceremony. Again, it was another moment where everyone was crying. Even the Mom's who were invited to share the moment with their son and daughter.

And talk about scary moments. We thought it would be fun to have the groomsmen throw the groom in the air. It's all fun and games until the groom ALMOST hits the ground. They did catch him though. Whew!

During the ceremony, instead of a some of the more traditional unity moments, Camilla and Samuel watered their tree. The tree they will plant and it will grown with them all the years of their lives. The tree (a baby tree right now) even made it to the reception and sat on the table with the couple. So maybe I should have started this article with Camilla👰, Samuel🤵, Sulley 🐕 and the tree 🌳.
