Ericka + Richard

Greetings, blog visitors! I’ve got another great wedding to share with you all this morning. Regular blog visitors will recognize these two from their recent downtown St. Louis engagement session. Ericka and Richard recently made the trip back down to STL from Chicago for their nuptials.

They were married in an early afternoon ceremony at St. Mark’s Catholic Church in Venice, Illinois. After the ceremony, we made stops at Lafayette Park and the Landing before heading to Collinsville for the reception at the DoubleTree. Check it out:

I started the day photographing Ericka and her bridesmaids at the DoubleTree.

I stopped by the guys room and found Richard recalling the time he realized Ericka was “the one.”

The exit!

Ericka watches Richard being photographed with his groomsmen.

I definitely didn’t have a shortage of shots with great smiles.

Richard’s groomsmen stand in for a chair during the garter removal.

Congrats, Ericka and Richard! Thanks for bring us to document your day.
