Hermann Hill Village and Chapel Wedding: Carmen and Tom, St. Louis Wedding Photographer

There was...... Torrential rain. High winds. Tornado Sirens.

And the most beautiful bride and groom getting married at the lovliest little place.

I couldn't have asked for a more laid-back, easy-going, fun group of people to work with.

The rain didn't stop us from going outside....we made sure to wait for it to pass first.

Carmen had spring-time flowers that were just lovely!

We found a bit of shelter from the drip-drops out there.

Tom and Carmen braved the rain and wind for me. I LOVE my clients. They are just awesome.

I especially love that the bride wore awesome shoes!!!!
You know I'm a shoe addict right?

I don't know why but I love this image. The dark threatening skys in contrast with the cheery, colorful umbrella? Yeah that's it.

The venue was ahhhh-mazing! It was totally worth the drive to Hermann Hill Village & Chapel. Brides, you defnitely need to check out this venue.

The Village overlooks the Missouri River. These are the cottages the bride & groom stayed in.

The Chapel is very intimate but with sweeping views out these tall windows.

I love when brides & grooms include things of sentimental value to them. It just makes it more personal.

Here is an example. This cake serving pice has been in the brides family for years. Every bride & her groom get to have their name engraved on this piece when they get married. Such a lovely tradition!

Cupcakes instead of the usual wedding cake!!! Very non-traditional....and very tasty too.
