Kristen & Tony - Ste. Genevieve Missouri Wedding Photography

When Kristen contacted me and told me her wedding was going to be in Ste. Genevieve I seriously flipped!!!  It is sooooo stinking gorgeous there! Every little nook and cranny in the town is photogenic.

So needless to say we had a spectacular day for their wedding.

 

Kristen has the most amazing natural lashes EVERRRR

I loved everything about the room that she got ready in!!!  the colors and the light....holy jeebus the light.....

first look..... *squeallllll*

LOVED this whole party!!!  even though they were a humongous group they were so awesome to work with!

There are just not enough words to describe this church.  Walking into it I was speechless!  me....of all people....

One of my favorite candid images I have ever taken.....LOVE IT!!!!

Wedding Date:  May 25, 2013

What was the most memorable part of your day?
The whole day was pretty memorable, a little bit of a blur but when I think of a really fun time of the day that was just having fun with no pressure it was spending time in the morning with all of our best friends in bridal party. We all stayed at the same Bed and Breakfast (except for the groom) so we ate breakfast together and then the girls got their hair done together there and then we all took pictures with Stephanie!
Any advice for future Brides and Grooms?
Do everything you can as soon as possible, even if you think it's too early. You will thank yourself later. I was on top of stuff enough that I was able to take a break to buy and move into a house a couple months before the wedding and also was able to relax a little and just help my mom with some stuff on the week of the wedding. I even had time for a bubble bath the day before. Also of course, use Stephanie Milligan as your photographer!
Funniest moment of your day?
Well my two nephews, who are 2 and 4, apparently had a moment in the aisle that my family and friends will never let down for the rest of their lives I'm sure. Also seeing all my family and friends do the "wobble" together.
If you could do it all over again, would you change anything?
Everything worked out even better then expected so probably not.
Where did you go on your honeymoon?
The Riviera Maya to an all inclusive resort called Secrets Silversands.
What was your first dance song?
Heaven by Paul Anka. We decided on it the Tuesday before and spent about a half hour choreographing a dance to it. Didn't practice it after that so I was very surprised we remembered the entire thing!
What was your favorite photo moment?
Taking the pictures with just Tony and I was fun because it was nice to just get away and take a breather with just him and I. Taking the bridal party pictures was a blast as well, but one of my other favorites was getting my entire family, on all sides, into one picture! My sister made sure that every person that who was related to us was there!
