Jennifer and Will decided to tie the knot in a simple, private elopement ceremony in Carondelet Park in St. Louis. I love smaller weddings because it’s so much more personal and intimate. Everyone is less stressed and nervous- and when it’s just the two of you, then everything about it is just about the two of you. There are no family members who, though they mean well, just make everything ten times more stressful than it should be (and you all know what I’m talking about!)
I not only served as the photographer, but also as a witness (go me- I was finally a maid of honor!) For the second witness, we found a young man fishing in the park, who was more than happy to stop for a few minutes to take part in the ceremony and sign the marriage certificate. Though it was just the two of them, Jennifer & Will wanted to make sure they had amazing photos. After the ceremony, we took pictures around the park before they headed off to their lunch together.
