Samantha & Sean | A St. Louis Wedding

Where do I even begin to describe Sam and Sean’s wedding?!  Hmmmm…let’s start with Sean.  Matt and I have worked with Sean at our “day” job for at least the last five years.  I even tried to “hook Sean up” with a couple of nice young ladies…but his ‘dates’ always turned out the same. . .there wasn’t a trace of excitement in his voice when he would describe them…that is…until he met Samantha!  Once we found out they were getting married, we were SO excited, and very honored that they asked us to be their wedding photographers!!

Wedding Details:

• Date: September 5, 2009
• Wedding Location: Canaan Baptist Church, St. Louis, MO
• Interim Photos:  Bee Tree Park, St. Louis
• Reception Photos: Andre’s on Telegraph

We actually didn’t meet Sam until their wedding day.  One of the first things she told me was that she wasn’t very traditional.  I was curious as to what she meant, and then she showed me her gorgeous wedding dress.  Instead of white or ivory, Samantha wore a silver dress.  In a word, it was simply beautiful.

 

More details…

Now, take a look at the bride.  Be jealous, very jealous.  Her eyes are amazing!  And the looks she could give on demand…LOVED IT…she made my job SO EASY!  ;)

Before the wedding we took a couple of photos in the church library…notice the book titles.

Sam’s son, Bryce, was the lucky gent to walk her down the aisle…

  Is he handsome or what?!

I love Sean’s look as he watches his bride walk towards him.

 

After the wedding, we made two quick stops…the couple’s new home, and Bee Tree Park.

Of course at their new home, Sean had to carry Sam over the threshold!  

We rapidly ran out of quality lighting, so we headed on over to the reception hall, where the couple shared their first official dance as man and wife.

Oh, and Sean’s friends made sure he was shackled to a real “ball and chain”….

 

Sean & Sam…words can’t even express how happy we are for the two of you.  Your wedding was amazing as the two of you, and we wish you continued love and happiness!  Thank you for everything, we are so blessed to be a part of your lives!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!

Each year I make our daughter Mackenzie’s Valentine’s Day cards for her class.  This year was no exception.  For Halloween Mackenzie was a little Bumble Bee.  We were so busy with weddings this year, that I didn’t get a chance to take some photos of Mackenzie in her costume.  SO, I incorporated her Bee costume into her Valentine’s!  I love getting a 2nd use out of her costumes!  We got the cute little skirt off of Etsy.com.  LOVE that place!  We recently bought some newborn props off of Etsy also.  I can’t wait to blog about those pics!  For now, here’s the card Mackenzie passed out to her class. 

 

From us to you, we hope that your Valentine’s Day is filled with lots of LOVE and Laughter, and you are surrounded by those you love, and those that love you! 

XOXOXOX’s
