Ying + Chen: Wedding (St. Louis wedding photographers)

Where have I been?! Shooting. And shooting. And shooting some more. This is a CRAZY time for me, but I’m doing my best to keep up with everything on my gigantic TO-DO LIST. It’s only about 10 miles long. Despite all the chaos that is my life right now (Have I mentioned we’re moving? Like in 8 days! Yikes!), I consider myself SO lucky to be doing what I’m doing. Because I love it. All of it. Each and every single day. And I’ve been lucky to have amazing couples to work with this year, and I can’t wait to show all my blog readers what I’ve been up to. But first, a long overdue blog post about the amazing wedding of Ying + Chen. There gorgeous ceremony took place at the Clayton Artists’ Guild. (Have I mentioned how much I love outdoor weddings?! They make my heart go pitter patter.) I loved photographing this couple because their love is utterly obvious. They show it all the time – check out their engagement session from a couple months ago. Especially Ying – she’s so expressive, and I love that.

And on to the photos…

Ying’s mom (who flew in all the way from China!) seeing her for the first time.

Yup. Never seen this many people helping the bride get her dress on. Love it!

I really liked the picture of this little guy. It’s as though he’s so proud of the job he’s doing – holding up Ying’s dress. Isn’t he adorable?!

I don’t shoot a LOT of posed shots. Some yes, but not a ton. I’m more into documenting your day than directing it. BUT, I love me some walking shots! (Even in full sun!)

Loved her flowers. Truly. I loved the softness of the colors. Already added this one to my website.
