Congratulations Jennifer and Eric - July 26th, 2008

Jennifer and Eric were married on a beautiful July Saturday afternoon at St. Cecilia's in south St. Louis. St. Cecilia's is a gorgeous old church that not many people know about...I was honored to be chosen to document Jennifer and Eric's wedding day. The wedding party was a blast -- so much fun to be around -- and we covered a lot of ground after the formal pictures at the church were complete. We shot pictures down on the Arch grounds, at Ted Drewes (where wedding parties get free frozen custard on the wedding day!), and in a number of cool spots in Forest Park. Here are some of the images from Jennifer and Eric's wedding day.




St. Cecilia's is one of the VERY FEW Catholic churches where a photographer can get images from the altar...in fact, there is a ladder and steel plank behind the altar that you can sneak up on and grab a few images. I know the videographer appreciated this camera angle as well!





My wife Maria (my lovely second shooter at this and most weddings) loves how the path in this shot flows perfectly with the angle of the Arch. Yeah, I look for good light...she looks for great composition...we make a wonderful team, don't we? :)


Notice the twins on either side of the bride (her nephews) -- they were so funny! I got a number of great pictures of them...acting like boys!






And this young man KNEW he was cool when he got down and got funky in his muscle tee.
Boys being boys...
Odds are one of the two girls in front got the bouquet, eh? ;)
Here are the twins doing wheel-barrow racing. These boys knew all the dance moves...they will be very popular with the ladies once they hit high school!
