Andrew + Stephanie // Immaculate Conception Dardenne // St. Charles Wedding Photography

I am so happy to be sharing this beautiful & spunky summer wedding with you today!  Do you remember Stephanie & Andrew's Engagement photos?  These two are so sweet & fun together - when they look at each other, you can tell how much love & affection they share - I knew their wedding would be a perfect representation of their fun-loving spirits!

You know it's going to be a great day when:
A. The Bride & Groom don't seem a bit flustered or freaked out by the fact that it was raining cats & dogs outside
B. The Bride does a little happy, high-kick dance after she puts on her garters
C. It's the Priest's first wedding ever (he did a pretty darn good job too)

I love this one of them alone in the chapel...so sweet & peaceful.

Prayer works people!  That rain stopped just long enough for all of their fun wedding party portraits & came right back during the reception after everyone arrived.  Thank you Jesus!

That rain really did us some good...the colors were all so rich & beautiful for their photos!

Congratulations again Stephanie & Andrew!!

Josey + Kevin // Backyard Wedding Photography

I've been excited about sharing this wedding with y'all since the day I shot it earlier in the spring!  haha I have a bad habit of getting photos ready to post after I finish editing them & then I proceed to get busy with the projects currently on my plate & forget to come back, put the actual post together & PUBLISH them!  Not really sure what to do to make that better, but for now I'll just keep sharing at this random pace & hope y'all just enjoy the treats when they come.  ;)

Kevin & Josey were SO MUCH FUN to work with!!  They are both so colorful, full of life, & easy to be around.  They have the sweetest love story & it was such a pleasure to capture this beautiful piece of it for them.  

That umbrella isn't just for show people...it was raining...reeeeeeeally raining!

Everyone was a good sport about the weather - even when I had them raise their umbrellas to get the light on their faces.  haha One of the ushers even cleaned off all of our shoes after we piled them up at the door to move the photo party inside.  
It was so nice that Kevin & Josey didn't fret when the rain kept coming & going on their wedding day (even when the tornado sirens were going off) - they just kept a positive attitude & enjoyed the day for what it was - they day they would say "i do" to forever with one another . . . my oh my it was sweet.

They even had a beautiful little rainbow come & brighten things up a bit.

& what do ya know, the sun even made an appearance for their beautiful backyard ceremony & reception.

Even though the ground was just a big muddy mess, no one seemed to mind because it was such a perfectly  memorable & sweet occasion. 

How creative & awesome is this bench guestbook?!  I wish I had thought to do something as cool as this!

Thanks again for inviting me to share in this special day for you Kevin & Josey!  
Here's to your very happily ever after together!
