Sarah and Mark’s wedding at the World’s Fair Pavilion in Forest Park

I love fall and outdoor weddings, but rarely do they come together as beautifully as it did for Sarah and Mark’s wedding on November 7. When I booked this wedding earlier this year, I was definitely nervous about what the weather would be like when the big day arrived. Little did I know there would be a high of 78ยบ and not a cloud in sight!

I had lots of favorite photos, but I narrowed it down to my favorite 30. Let’s see some pictures already!

We only had a few minutes to pull off this photo, but the wedding party delivered and we rocked it in under five minutes. This one is wall-ready, if I do say so myself.

We absolutely loved the pictures that we have seen so far. We had such a great day and evening. Ryan did a terrific job. (He even brought a board for me to step across at the waterfall. What a gentleman.) Very professional, patient, hard working and he was all over the place taking pictures that day. He was tireless, one of the last to leave the wedding. We were very happy with his work that day. Can’t wait to see all of the finished pictures. Way to go Ryan! Thanks for adding to our very special day.

Wow Sarah!!! Amazing! Kate was so excited to see the pictures and Maggie said “Well, now she has her prince.”. I agree and we are all so happy for you! Love you!
