Jill and Kyle's Wedding

We always look forward to weddings of siblings of past brides or grooms, and this wedding was one such wedding. A few years back we did the wedding of Jill's sister. I felt like we were among old friends at Jill's wedding. Congratulations Jill and Kyle!
Jill and Kyle were married last month on a cold December day, unfortunately there was no snow, but that did not mean they did not have a winter wonderland. Jill's mom is a very talented woman and did an amazing job turning the reception site into a true wonderland. I would highly recommend her as a designer to any one of our couples.

This is the wedding of Julia and Andrew. They had a beautiful outdoor wedding that was fit for a magazine. It rained in the morning, leaving the rest of the day with the perfect lighting. I can not say enough about this couple! Julia worked behind the scenes at VH1 and Andrew is an alien in the up coming Men In Black 3!

Michelle and Cody are Married!!

Michelle and Cody were married on 12/31/2009, the anniversary of Cody's grandparents. What an awesome day to get married. It was also the evening of a Blue Moon, the last time there was a Blue Moon on New Years Eve was 19 years ago. So did we make them stand out in the freezing cold to document that momentous event? Of course we did!
Here is there their teaser slide show:

Heather and Ryan are Married

We have been waiting a while for Heather and Ryan's wedding, they booked us over a year ago. We knew we were going to have a great time at the wedding when they told us Michael from GTV Wedding Films was the videographer, we love working with the talented Michael! We also had the pleasure of photographing the artwork of Artistry florist. Before the reception we went to New Town for some fun photos with the whole wedding party and then it was off to Big Muddy bar and grill.
The reception was held at the very unique Foundry Art Center, where everyone rocked the night away to the sounds of the famous Dr Zhivegas! All in all it was an amazing wedding!!

Lindsey and Mark are married!

We had a great time at Lindsey and Marks wedding. We love going to wedding where we know a bunch of the guests. A lot of our past couples were at Lindsey and Mark's wedding, couples who we consider friends. The other very cool think is that the wedding and reception were held at the estate of another past client!

Kali and Patrick are married!

Kali and Patrick were married last month. What a fun couple to photograph along with their whole wedding party! They were all up for just about anything and really had fun with the in between stuff! A big shout goes out to Jeffery's Flowers for the awesome job on all the bouquets!

Audrey and Eric are Married!!

We have been looking forward to Audrey and Eric's wedding, two very creative people, surrounded by many more creative people. It was a gorgeous day to have an outdoor ceremony at Haskell Park in Alton. After the ceremony we went down to the Alton Amphitheater for some fun bridal party shots, and then on to Lockhaven Country Club for the reception.
I have to send a big shout out to one of our favorite florist, Jeffery's, for the awesome job he did on the flowers! Another shout has to go to the best DJ in the Riverbend area, Scott Monahan, aka DJ Monty!

Audrey and Eric thank you so much for letting us be a part of your special day.

Enjoy the show!!

Courtney & Jesse are married

What a gorgeous day we had for Courtney and Jesse's wedding! We started out at the home of Courtney's parents, which is by far the most beautiful home in the riverbend area. The ceremony was held at the Benjamin Godfrey Memorial Chapel and the reception was just a short walk away on the campus of Lewis and Clark Community College. We had been looking forward to this wedding, and just knew that we were going to have a great time, especially since we had such a great couple to work with and both their families!
Here are just a few faves from the day:

The elegant cake was provided by Duke's Bakery in Alton.
