Matthew & Valerie

Congratulations Matthew & Valerie!

Married on July 19, 2008

They had a beautiful ceremony in the Japanese Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden - my favorite place in St. Louis :)

Matthew & his mother were the cutest mother-son couple I've ever seen at a wedding.

We took pictures after the ceremony in the Garden. You can't really tell, but it was extremely hot outside. We had to get them done quick!

Their reception was at the Millennium Hotel downtown.

Pug Break

I thought I would take a quick break from wedding posts and introduce everyone to Igor the Pug. I babysat him for over a week in July. Him and my pug, Buddha, had an interesting time together.

The summer heat always affects pugs dramatically. Igor would spend most of the day napping in the hallway. Buddha would nap on my bed, in front of the fan.

Tom & Katie

Congratulations Tom & Katie!

Married July 17, 2008 at St. Henry Church in Belleville, IL.

"Elvis" sang Fools Rush In during their ceremony.

The reception was at Stone Wolf Golf Club in Fairview Heights, IL.

You can't really tell, but it was like a sauna outside.

Shane & Travis

Congratulations Shane and Travis! 

Their commitment ceremony was June 21, 2008 at the Ethics Society in Clayton. A very neat looking building with a beautiful interior.

Symeta & Ken

Congratulations Symeta & Ken!

Married May 24, 2008

Their ceremony was at the Piper Palm House in Tower Grove Park. It was a beautiful morning.

It started raining immediately after the ceremony. Because of this, we did all of the cute outdoor pictures at BeeTree Park after the reception.

I had never been to BeeTree Park. It was a great location for pictures. Two other wedding parties were taking pictures there too.
