Julie & Chris | Wedding Photos

We kicked off the wedding season this year with Julie & Chris.  You may remember them from their engagement shoot last October…if not, take a peek!  :)  They are such a cute couple, and simply amazing together.  During their reception, it was fun to watch them totally dissolve into each other, and completely forget that they were dancing in front of hundreds of guests.

Wedding Details:

  • Wedding Location:  First United Methodist Church, St. Charles, MO
  • Interim Photos:  Main Street, St. Charles, MO

All the girls together one last time with Julie as a single lady!  Aren’t they gorgeous?!Ragusky_Wedding-236 Ragusky_Wedding-158 Ragusky_Wedding-165

We had a little wait in the basement of the church before the wedding officially started.   At first I was bummed because there weren’t any windows to get some natural lighting so that I could take a few portraits of Julie.  In the basement, there was only one teeny, tiny window that didn’t boast much light.  Then I noticed there was a plain white wall which would be perfect for some portraits of the bride!  I think it worked out quite well…what do you think?!collage2 Ragusky_Wedding-326mocha Ragusky_Wedding-358

Time to walk down the aisle!Ragusky_Wedding-407mocha I love that Matt captured Chris’s expression as Julie walked towards him…

I loved the bricks on the Old Millstream Inn Restaurant and suggested we take a few photos in front of it…Julie informed me that that would be perfect because that is where she and Chris had their first date!
