Becky & Tony Part 1 :)

Tony and Becky have been so incredibly patient waiting for the very first look at their wedding day, but that is them...they are top notch people, giving of others before themselves. So needless to say, we were blessed with another fantastic couple, and their families and friends to work with for an entire day!  We know that is a frequently used theme on this blog, but the we only stick to the truth on here, and there really is not other way to put it! :)  We had a great day with everyone, and lucked-out with the bluest skies, and a clear day that felt like we had definitely plunged into Fall.

We also, again, were blessed to shoot at one of the most beautiful churches we have ever seen, St. Cecelia's in South City.  Can you say shockingly beautiful?  You will see for yourselves.  It was like walking into an artist's canvas, and I'm pretty sure we stood there with our mouths open as we did a 360 scan of the sanctuary.  Absolutely breathtaking details, color, and architecture.

Here's a glimpse of the first part of their day . . .

A few of those details . . .

Tony being a fantastic future husband and helping with the pew decor.

Becky with her adorable nieces.

More details, these are all mosaic tiles.  We just had to get this shot knowing the Irish Clan that will be viewing these. :)

Look at the huge grins on Becky and Becky's Dad face...they were both so excited. And Becky, first of all...STUNNING and not nervous at all. She was just ready to do this thing and marry her man :)

Loved Becky's sisters....such an incredible bond between all of them. (And that is just 2 of her gorgeous sisters below....lucky Becky comes from a big family)

See what we mean by walking into an artists canvas?  STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS!

We were very touched by how lovingly Tony hugged his family.  Eyes closed and a full embrace.  So priceless to observe.

We love the "double thumbs up" from Tony! 

Tony & Becky,

Your day was beyond perfect....Kelly and I said to each other many

times throughout the day "what an EASY day". Everything was perfect and

everyone we encountered just incredible. Becky, your parents...oh my! We

think we want to be adopted....you could use 2 more sisters right?!? :)

The second part of your day is coming next week....and it is going to be AH-mazing!!

Hugs!

Lisa & Kelly

Ashley & Erik Part 2 :):)

The second part of Ashley & Erik's day was nothing short of fun for us.  We had a wedding party that was fun and willing to go with the picture taking flow, our favorite location to shoot in (Forest Park), and we had cooperating weather.

What more could we ask for?

Ok, nothing, except maybe a do-over of our day with all these wonderful people.

Here's the finale of a wedding that was sooooo worth our long wait . . .

Ashley....your gorgeous girl!

Bridal Party Wars - BRING IT!!!
LOL, no seriously this was a joke.  We ran into this other wedding party, and it turns out Ashley & Erik had known the groom from childhood, so we had to stage a "Bridal Party Wars" shot.  We were chuckling the entire time :)

The picture above is for Momma Wojo :) Ok, Momma & Papa Wojo...let's make a pact....we get to photograph all the Wojo kiddos weddings. K?.....K!! :)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the cake topper...our favorite of the year.

Brother & Sister dance routine as they are being announced....everyone went crazy! It was awesome.

These two shots make me want to cry, and I'm not even a family member.  I just think they say so much more than a thousand words . . .

Had to post a little tribute to the Cardinals. The night of Ashley and Erik's Wedding was a BIG game for the Birds...we like to think the night was a good luck charm.

Ashley & Erik,

You know, this is really bitter sweet for us. We were

soooo anxious for your Wedding but now that it is over..we are a bit sad. We

adore you two and we know this isn't the end...but the beginning of a friendship.

Because you know we get to photograph little baby Helms' (wink) and other Wojo kids

Weddings (hint hint)...and hey, let's even meet for dinner to catch up.

We wish you sooo much happiness friends! You deserve every bit of it.

Much love!!

Lisa & Kelly
