Juan & Tara :: Wedding

Juan and Tara married on 11.11.11!! What a memorable date, right?! I had so much fun shooting their Engagement session earlier this year and was really looking forward to their Wedding. Preparation was at the Astor Crown, the Ceremony was at St. Louis Cathedral and the Reception was on the Creole Queen Riverboat! Their reception was surely one to remember. We all got on at the docking station and the boat went out on a 3 hour Mississippi River tour! That was a FIRST for both my assistant, Kacie and I! We’d never shot photos on a ship before :)

Tara & Juan asked to do a “first look” in the Cathedral before the Ceremony started. Those moments are always priceless – it’s an honor to be there to capture their reactions when seeing each other for the first time dressed in the Wedding attire! I also loved the natural light images we were able to get as the sun was going down when the ceremony ended – that’s my favorite time of day! Thank you Juan & Tara for allowing us to capture your Wedding! Tara, I’ve always appreciated your little messages and blog comments you’ve sent my way in the past – thank you for always being soo sweet! On a side note, I’ve really enjoyed how facebook has allowed me to keep up with so many of my clients – it’s the best! I love catching up with their lives even after all the Wedding festivities are over!

Here are some fun shots from the day!!!
