What an absolutely incredible day celebrating Ryan & Nataly during their elegant downtown St. Louis wedding. Nataly was the most stunning and classy bride with the absolute best taste (her details!!! the reception space – it was a DREAM). We started getting ready photos at the newly renovated and absolutely darling Last Hotel – and then headed off to St. Francis Xavier for these two to officially tie the knot. After some sweet photos with family – we headed to Tower Grove where the fall colors were absolutely shining. We couldn’t have hand picked a more perfect fall Saturday!! Ryan & Nataly opted out of having a bridal party which allowed their day to be so relaxed and focused on what mattered to them!! They spent time hanging out with friends & family on their party bus (so much fun!!), grabbing a cocktail just the two of them, and shared private vows (which was my personal favorite).

We then headed to Windows on Washington where these two had one heck of a fun reception (there was a mariachi band during cocktail hour…c‘mon!!). The minute the dance floor opened it was packed and so hype!! Your reception is the part of your day where you simply get to relish in the joy (!!) & happiness + you’re surrounded by all of your favorite humans and it’s THE most special kind of feeling that was very much present during this day!

SO much love for the precious humans & the joy they share together!!
