Julia & Jason | Love & Marriage

Whew! It’s been a while since I have blogged. I promise we have not been slacking. In face, we were processing pics well into the holidays! AND, we had seven photo shoots in December, including one in Kansas. Needless to say, it was cold in the ‘Sunflower State’, but OH SO MUCH FUN!

Matt and I are excited to share Julia and Jason’s wedding photos. :) First of all, Julia has style! Her hair, her dress, well, actually, everything was beautiful, simply beautiful! And we loved watching the couple interact with each other…they were so precious to each other throughout the day.

Before I post the pics, here’s a bit of background info on the wedding: Poor Julia emailed us couple of weeks before the wedding to let us know that Jason had broken his leg, and would have to be in a cast during the wedding. What was really amazing was the fact that she wasn’t worried about the photos, or trying to hide the cast…she just wanted to make sure that Jason had plenty of time to rest between photos. That, and she gave us permission to be bossy with the wedding party so that we could get photos done as quickly as possible! Julia is one amazing woman!

Wedding Details:

• Date: October 10, 2009
• Wedding Location: Eden Chapel, Webster Groves, MO
• Interim & Reception Photos: Tapawingo National Golf Club, Sunset Hills

Now onto the photos!

The bride patiently waiting for me to take photos of her beautiful dress.

Finally getting to put on her dress! :)

Julia and Jason decided to see each other before their ceremony, which turned out to be a marvelous idea – especially since the groom was wearing a cast due to a broken bone in his leg!

Here is the bride on her way down to see her groom for the first time. . .

Julia pretty much got to see Jason’s back for the first few minutes. . .and then slowly walked up behind him.

We tried to give them a little privacy. . .

The beautiful flowers. . .

The rings. . .

Back in the room the ladies huddled one more time before Julia’s last steps as a single woman.

I stole a couple more seconds of the bride’s time to get these gorgeous portraits. Isn’t Julia BEAUTIFUL?!

Waiting for her cue. . .

I LOVE how incredibly happy BOTH Julia and her father look!

The beautiful chapel… At the end of the ceremony, Julia and Jason walked down the aisle to the music of a bag pipe! How cool is THAT?!? I mean REALLY! :)

After the ceremony, we headed over to the Tapawingo National Golf Club in Sunset Hills. The setting was amazing! Here are the gorgeous gals…

Ok, tell me this isn’t hilarious…Julia was using Jason’s crutches to TWIRL!! :)

As you can tell…Julia and Jason have NO IDEA how to have a fun time! Julia was ready for some cake. . .no serving utensils needed!

One last photo of the happy couple!

Julia and Jason ~ thank you both for allowing us to take part in your amazing day! Every detail was perfectly planned, and we feel honored that you allowed us to capture your wedding day memories. Congratulations, and we wish you the best of everything in the future!

Julie & Chris | An “Engaging” Experience!

Julie and Chris are set to be married next May, and after meeting them, we can’t wait to photograph their wedding!  We met up with the couple at Quail Ridge Park in early October to photograph their engagement pics.   It just so happens that Julie picked the best colors for a Fall Engagement shoot!  Julie is full of spunk and very out-going…Chris is more laid-back and very easy-going.  They are a perfect match for each other, and so very cute together.  It was such a pleasure to spend a couple of hours with them!!

As you can tell, I had fun with my new “textures” in the photo below.  I LOVE THEM!

Here’s a close-up of Julie and Chris.  They both have such beautiful eyes!  Cute, aren’t they?

I love how relaxed the couple was in front of the camera. . .

. . .and how easily they could make each other laugh.

Some more texture for you. . .

And a little romance:

And what is NOT to love about this bridge?!

Both are major fans of Ireland, and anything Irish.  And yes, they have already been there!  I love that they brought their Ireland sweatshirts with them for their shoot!  :)

You can check out more of their photos on Facebook. It’s really easy, all you have to do is:  <<CLICK HERE>>

Julie and Chris, it was such a pleasure meeting you!  We can’t wait to photograph your wedding next May.  You guys are so wonderful to work with, and make our job so FUN!  Thank you for that!  Enjoy your photos!  :)
