Kelly emailed me about 3 weeks ago to ask if I was available for a wedding on July 7. July 7?! I was a little shocked at the short notice, but then she told me her plans. Their original plans to have a destination wedding in California had fallen through, and they were in a hurry to plan a wedding in St. Louis. It was a very special, intimate wedding with just the 2 of them in the perfect setting at dusk. And it was beautiful, emotional…perfect.
Ceremony Venue: The Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel
Hair/Makeup: Danielle Erb
Videography: Gebbs Total Video
Her dress was stunning.
The fabulous Danielle Erb did her hair and makeup, and it turned out AMAZING.
Beautiful!!!
Kelly had her vows on her Blackberry. Donny had his on his iPod.
After they got ready in Fenton, all of us headed out to the Vineyard at Riverbend Chapel in Washington, MO. It’s a stunning location, and I LOVE shooting there.
If you look closely, you’ll see Donny’s name.
Kelly’s mom was there to help her get ready…
Love the veils…
Although she got a little stuck in them.
They opted for a first look!
And it was very emotional for both of them.
We didn’t shoot a single posed picture on this day, although this one looks posed. I love the looks on their faces. They were SOOOOO happy.
Then it was ceremony time, so Kelly busted out the Blackberry. Too cute!
They did a first dance overlooking the river. It was such a spectacular view.
We’re going to do a “day-after” shoot soon, so stay tuned for that!
