Andrea + Jeffrey

Andrea’s eyes just sparkled when she saw Jeffrey for the first time that day. They share a wonderful sense of humor, and a love of CANDY!!!! Guests stepped back in time to the days of the corner candy store , jars overflowing with a multitude of choices. The “sugar high” kept the kids twirling and the guests dancing away.

It goes so fast! But lots of great memories to cherish and share. Here a just a few. May your future be bright.

Sandra & Stuart

This elegant wedding brings touches reflecting Stuart’s British heritage. The beauty of Bellerive Country Club was the perfect setting, both indoor and out. Stuart and Sandra had their “dancin’ shoes” on that evening and how could they not??? Charles Glenn and his band kept the guests on their feet throughout the night! And for flowers, Rhonda Lynn-Moeckel with Focus on Design was superb.

Wishing you the best as you start your life together!

Margaret and Tyson were so much fun to watch TOGETHER….they really know how to have fun! The Park Plaza setting at the Chase was elegant and attention to detail made the difference in their incredible ceremony. Enjoy some of my favorites from the day. Best wishes and happy times to you both.

An afternoon of wild play, lots of climbing, wiggling, running and rolling in the grass.

This “First” for STL Bride was a sensational evening in the Beautiful Coronado. They really know how to dazzle the eye! View photos of the evening which highlights their beautiful space. Ethan and Nancy were pros and quite entertaining at the podium as well….great job both of you.

Katie & Kevin

Katherine — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:52:51 +0000

Katie White and Kevin were married in the beautiful Whittemore House that set the stage for this lovely outdoor wedding that blended simple and elegant touches. Katie was a vision in her beautiful gown, while Kevin looked on with earnest as her father walked her down the grassy aisle. They were so many beautiful details and one only has to look at the toasting images to see the love this family shares for each other! Art Casolari at Whittemore House handled this wedding with his usuall grace and charm. Dancing together at the end of the night, Kevin swept Katie off her feet while the guest’s looked on. So much fun was had at this affair! I wish you two the very best! -Patti

Andrea+Brian

Andrea and Brian were married on September 19th 2009 in the Shrine of Saint Joseph. I loved watching the family help Andrea get ready in the dressing room before the ceremony. The excitement was in the air, as was the love felt between her and her family. The ceremony was lovely and the reception was held at the Ball Park, Hilton. The views were something! Huge windows overlooking the Old Courthouse and Arch really gave you that downtown feel. I truly wish the two of you and your family all my best! -Patti

Sarah+Steve

Sarah and Steve were married September 26th, 2009. An amazing day filled with rainstorms and rainbows! They were married, protected by the rain, at the Palm House. As soon as they said their “I Do’s” the rain cleared and the sun came out! I took them to my favorite spot in Tower Grove for some great photos. From there we went to Neo for the reception. We grabbed some quick shots downtown during the cocktail hour and then it was time to party! The decor was beautiful! The cake was so fun and their cake topper was custom made to fit their personalities. These two were a custom fit for each other! A definite match made in heaven!

I also want to note that I had the pleasure of having Donna and Katherine as my assistant’s for the day.
