No matter how many years I’ve been in business, there are always room for firsts. Duo and Bing were my first courthouse wedding. When we met and they told me they wanted a wedding photographer for a very short wedding, I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but it was SO much fun. There was even a little drama. What’s a wedding without a little drama? To get married at the Clayton courthouse, you have to go get a number in the morning and then wait your turn. Duo and Bing had the last number of the day, assuming Bing had time to get her hair and makeup done. Well, the judge was rolling through the weddings incredibly quickly, and their number was approaching, but only Duo was there. And I was there. And many of their friends were there. (Both of their families are in China.) But Bing was not. Duo was a frantic mess, talking to her on his cell. Then in an instant, a white blur whisked through the metal detectors and up the elevator. There was still time for them to get married before the judge left. After the wedding, we had a few hours to make our way across St. Louis to photograph this adorable couple. It was nice to have no pressure, just all the time in the world to take photographs of this newly married couple. It was a blast. I hope you enjoy these images.
And so were the rings. Love.
