How precious are these two? Raffaele and Samantha have been awaiting this day for quite some time, so it was such a joy to watch to everything come to fruition! From beginning to end, their wedding was absolutely lovely. We started off their day at the Moonrise Hotel in St. Louis for detail and getting ready photos with Sam and her ladies! I always love styling and capturing all the beautiful details that my couples put so much heart and effort into. One of my favorites part of the day!
Afterwards, we made our way out to Chandler Hill Vineyards for their first look and bride and groom photos. Leading up to their wedding, we were nervous about the anticipated rain but were blessed with just a light mist, which meant we were still able to rock all of their portraits outdoors! Samantha and her bridesmaids came prepared with hunter boots… isn’t that the cutest?! Ra and Sam had Ken from Petal Pushers STL (one of my favorite St. Louis florists!!) create all of the florals and I was head over heels. I absolutely adore loose, organic floral arrangements – be still my heart! Their ceremony took place on the balcony of Chandler Hill as the sun was setting – and then we headed inside where the party started! Such a sweet day with such wonderful people!! Ra and Sam, thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of your wedding day! It was such an honor!! Enjoy Maui!!
Much love,
Jessica Lauren
