Classy Friday Night Wedding Ceremony + Saturday Piper Palm House Brunch Reception - St Louis Wedding Photographer

I absolutely LOVED the intentionality behind the pacing and timeline of Amanda and Kevin’s wedding weekend!  Rather than fitting everything into a single day, they chose to slow things down and really connect with each other and their guests.  Amanda got ready on Friday afternoon at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, while Kevin got ready at his parent’s home - both spending very peaceful moments with their loved ones before the celebration.  They hosted their classy church ceremony that evening.  With their reception to follow the next day, they were able to have more heartfelt, unhurried interactions with their guests and be fully in the moment.  They ended Friday night by slipping away for an intimate dinner, just the two of them.  

The next morning, they regathered with their guests for a beautiful brunch reception at Piper Palm House, again spending such joyful and heartfelt time with each other and their guests.  And St. Louis in the spring!  So lovely!  The entire weekend just felt so picturesque and true to who they were as a couple.  If you’re considering a more unique wedding timeline, it’s such a meaningful way to make space for connection and quality time spent with the one you’re marrying!
