Justin & Melissa - Say "I Do"

After 7 years of love and friendship, Justin and Melissa said "I Do" on a warm June day filled with friends, family and love! We loved getting to know Melissa and Justin and learning about how a chance "meeting" at a neighborhood pool turned into an amazing love and friendship.

Kelly spent some time with the guys, we lucked out with an amazing wedding party.....they were a TON of fun and endured some major heat and never complained once....we LOVE amazing wedding parties!



LOVE this shot of Justin and son that Kelly captured....so sweet!!




Melissa was a GORGEOUS Bride!! She was so adorable with her nerves, we were all a little nervous about the possibility of rain and we were all doing some rain dances :) Melissa & Justin had an amazing outdoor Wedding planned. 




We spent some time in the a/c and captured some gorgeous stuff in and around the Hotel.








We loved the Bridesmaids dresses.....so classic and simple and the stunning girls didn't hurt either :)


And the boys :) Looking quite dapper!


Justin and Melissa decided on a "First Look" and we were thrilled. We were very tight on time between the ceremony and reception and it was a priority to them to have lots of time for photos (LOVE!).  The "First Look" is becoming increasingly popular and we love it because it gives us some time for pics before the craziness of the day begins. Plus we get a chance to capture sweet moments like these...












Melissa and Justin wrote their own vows and we also loved that they incorporated musical lyrics into their ceremony. Very personal and very beautiful!






And the rain started right at the "kiss", we thought it was pretty magical, LOVE this image of Kelly's with the rain drops :)


Husband and Wife :)













Melissa & Justin,
Thank you so much for inviting us to capture your beautiful day! From the "first look" to the gorgeous outdoor ceremony (rain and all) it was absolutely perfect! You guys were so welcoming to us! Thanks for enduring the heat and making us feel like one of the gang.
We wish you many many amazing years!!
Love,
Lisa & Kelly

Carrie & Dennis - Part 2

 We are finally able to get the second half of Carrie & Dennis' day up on the good ole blog. This is just such a small portion of what happened that day...again...so much love, tears, laughs and happiness every where we looked.
Starting off with the AH-Mazingly beautiful Salem Ladue United Methodist Church.


One of Carrie's requests...and I think it turned out pretty awesome!





The moment we loaded up to head out for "wedding party" photos, it started raining. Our first back up plan was The Muny (LOVE LOVE LOVE The Muny). Well, we pulled up to about 15 other Wedding parties trying to take pictures in the same spot. But that is ok, we were with an awesome group....we waited our turn and we rocked them out.


Carrie has a seriously gorgeous smile!









Party time.....




By far some of the best speeches ever! Carrie's Matron of Honor Christine blew us away with her speech. We wanted to be her BFF by the end of the night :)







The dance floor was packed....all night long! Love receptions were people like to get their dance on :) We usually do a little dancing ourselves!


A very special THANK YOU to our girl Kim. She was such an amazing addition to team Lisa & Kelly. Any day we are able to bring her along is a good day :) Many of the gorgeous images in this post belong to Kim.

Of course another big THANK YOU to Carrie and Dennis.
We wish you a lifetime of happiness. Your Wedding Day will be one
that we always will remember.
Hugs to our new friends The Kendricks!!
Love,
Lisa & Kelly
