Drew and Joette...married AGAIN

Joette and Drew have a really special story. They met and fell in love while they were both in the army. Drew got the call that he was going to be sent to Iraq, so they had a quick ceremony in 2005 before he left. So now a year and a half and one child later, they found some time to include their family and friends and celebrate their union all over again.
It was such an awesome day. At first I was FREAKING out because it was an outside ceremony and it was most definitely going to rain. Alison White (simply elegant events) was her wedding coordinator and she is just soooo fabulous! I highly recommend her. She handled all the day's issues (like rearranging the tent twice before the ceremony) and calmed Joette down when she started panicking during the rain. But just as the carriage of girls pulled up to meet the groomsmen, the rain stopped and the sun came out and the angels started singing...no not really...but that's what it felt like...It was such a great ceremony. Congrats guys and thanks so much for letting me photograph your wedding!


Their little girl decided to jump on in during the ceremony!

The Grahams

This little flower girl was so cute.. She was upset because she thought the bride looked prettier than her! ha






The ladies going on one of the many potty breaks of the day




Some crazy drunk Cards fans jumped into some of our pics...It was so funny




Her Flowers were by Jupiter's Garden and they were Fabulous!



Ok, I have been to some FUN weddings, but this group of people take the cake. I haven't had this much fun photographing a wedding EVER...and I didn't even shoot at the reception! I can only imagine what must have gone on there!! A really cool thing that happened was while we were snapping some pics at Busch Stadium, Tony LaRusa drove by and told the bride she was beautiful! Julie was so freaking excited. I am sure it is something she will never forget. We tried to get him to stop for a pic, but he must have been busy!

The M&M wedding!

Kat and Nathan's wedding was referred to as the M&M wedding (mueller and Meadows). They are such a cute couple! We were talking on the bus about the fact that they have been together on and off for 14 years! They met at the skating rink in 1993! As we were listening to music on the bus Kat was telling me how Cyprus Hill reminded her of the skating rink and all of the sudden I felt soooo old because that same group reminded me of collage! Yikes I must be getting old! Congratulations guys!
