Samantha and Stephen had a semi-traditional wedding with lots of white. They had a simple, Christian ceremony with lots of love and tears of joy.  Samantha’s bridesmaids wore gorgeous navy blue dresses, accented by orange flowers. For a fun, unexpected twist, the wedding party wore matching tennis shoes.  (An added bonus of tennis shoes is that no one’s feet hurt at the end of the night!)

Between the wedding and the reception, we stopped at the (former) St Louis Artists’ Guild in Clayton for photos.  The weather was perfection, the sun was beautiful, and the bridal party was a joy to shoot with!  Samantha & Stephen are like working with professional models.  (I mean, could Samantha even be any cuter?!?)  They make each light up, and that’s always an amazing thing to see :)

The guests had a blast dancing the night away, and filling up on cake AND gourmet treats from the dessert table.

Congrats again Samantha & Stephen!
