Jess & Dan | Wentzville Wedding Photography

Jessica and Dan had the most perfect wedding day. . .even though it rained.  And boy did it rain.  Amazingly enough everyone took it in stride, and by the time the wedding was set to being, the rain stopped.  The sun quickly quickly came out, the wedding party dried the guest’s chairs, and Jess and Dan had the most beautiful and perfect outdoor wedding.

Wedding Details:

• Date:  June 12, 2010
• Wedding Location:  Quail Ridge Park, Wentzville, MO
• Interim Photos:  Quail Ridge Park, Wentzville, MO
• Reception:  Quail Ridge Park, Wentzville, MO

Before the wedding, while the bridal party was getting ready, Matt and I took a few moments to get some detail shots in the reception room.  I loved the colors Jessica chose for her wedding…everything was so bright and colorful.

Once the detail shots were down, we each headed to our respective corners…Matt to see the guys, and Karen was off to photograph the ladies…

  Notice the rain in the above shot… At this point, Dan is looking a little worried.

As if on cue, the sun came out about 1/2 hour before the wedding.  The bridal party made a quick dash to straighten & wipe off the guest’s seats.  Shortly thereafter, Jess started walking down the aisle!  I love Dan’s face as he sees Jess approaching him…

Look at how beautiful everything looks because of the rain earlier…so green and lush!

And they’re MARRIED!

Photographing these two was a trip!  Jessica has modeling experience, and Dan was just a natural in front of the camera.  Both of them were amazing to work with and willing to be themselves in front of the camera.  As you can tell, Dan is a shy person:

I know, right?  Jess is amazing!  And I LOVE the wind effects!  :)

After the family and group photos, we stole the bride and groom for a few minutes and took a little journey through the park.

A few more details…

And then it started to rain.  Again.  The good news?  It was time to head to the reception anyway!

In the middle of the reception, the sun came back out, and we had the opportunity to take a few more photos!   

A few more pics:

I should mention, Dan, an amazing singer, wrote and sang a song for Jessica.  He surprised her at the reception, by having it played during their photo slideshow.  Yup.  He’s a keeper!

Jess & Dan ~ We loved sharing your wedding day with you.  Every last detail was planned out to perfection.  The two of you are perfect for each other, and we wish you a lifetime of love and happiness!
