Amanda and Brett: Wedding at the Hyatt!

This weekend I had the pleasure of shooting Amanda and Brett's wedding at the newly renovated Hyatt downtown across from the Arch. I shot this wedding as an associate for Studio 7 in Springfield. You may remember Amanda and Brett from their engagement photos a few months ago, as it yielded one of my favorite images ever!

I know Amanda was a little nervous about the weather, being that her ceremony was being held on the rooftop of the Hyatt! It was a little cool, but no one seemed to mind...it was a gorgeous day!

We got a chance to capture Amanda getting ready in a suite with a view of the Arch...

We ran across the street for a few bridal party photos before the ceremony...

And now for the rooftop ceremony! How cool is this?? I believe this was the 2nd wedding to take place up here...

Amanda and Brett wrote their own vows, which gave the ceremony such a personal touch. You can see Amanda alternating from laughing to crying :)

It was a cloudy day, but the sun came out right as they became husband and wife. A sign??

My gorgeous bride and groom!

This was my first time as a primary photographer taking photos at the Arch. Crazy, I know! I had fun with it!

Gorgeous!

And I'll leave you with a ring shot!!

I would have loved to blog more and more and more, but I wanted to get some up in time for the newlyweds to see before they leave on their fabulous honeymoon!

Thanks to the following people that made Amanda and Brett's wedding a success:

Brigid (my 2nd shooter)
