The Groom's Crew
Chris and his men look dapper, even in the intense heat of the day.
The Gorgeous Bride
Shanee poses in front of the historic National Church ruins that has been overtaken by the ivy.
The First Look
Shanee was so excited for the first look, and how could she not be looking like that.
First Embrace
Shanee and Chris steal a moment to say hello for the first time that day.
The Wedding Party
The wedding party consisted of Shanee's daughter and son as well as family and college friends.
My new step-dad!
THe only one more excited for the wedding than the bride and groom was AJ, who was telling everyone that he was getting a new dad today.
Pure Joy
The bride carried a gorgeous bouquet of peony, Juliet roses, and delilah.
The Entrance
There were audible gasps from the guests when Shanee appeared. Everything about her was picture perfect.
An Entrance For a Princess
Our friends at Exclusive Events, created a massive drape that framed the grand entrance for the bride.
An Intimate Affair
The ceremony was warm and intimate and fit perfectly with the couple's fun lifestyle.
Four Generations
Shanee and Chris were blessed to have so many family and friends share their day. Four generations of the bride's family lined lovely photo.
The Groom's Family
Chris is blessed with a large and very close family. We enjoyed getting to know them and hearing some dirt on Chris along the way.
Give Her a Twirl
Chris and Shanee took advantage of the goergous venue that is the Missouri History Museum. There are so many gorgeous spots for fabulous photos.
Find Your Seat
Our secret weapon for creating the most wonderful signage in town is Purple Desk Design. She handpainted this gorgeous 5 foot mirror with the seating chart for about 100 guests.
All the Details
We had a blast help Shanee pick out the finishing touches to her reception. She wanted everything to be wonderful for her guests, and we are happy to say they were thrilled.
Take Your Seat.
In keeping with the theme of the mirrored seating chart, we created these custome table numbers for the guest tables.
Glamous Tables
The silver ribbed glass chargers added another level of ellegance to the head table.
A Work of Art
This cake was everything! Our new friend Heidi was just a sweet as she was talented. The cake sat on a silvery velvet linen that completed the masterpiece.
Dad Gets a Grand Entrance
Shanee's pop was pretty mild-mannered during the entire day, until it was time for his entrance to the reception. He went full ham and stole the show!
Keep Him on His Toes
The bride knows how to make an entrance, the groom just needs to keep up! This former Rams cheerleader knows how to grab a room.
The First Dance
Chris and Shanee share a sultry first dance as husband and wife.
View from Above
The grand staircase of the Missouri History Museum allows for some wonderful views.
Is It Cake Time?
She might not look it, but this girl loves her some cake. She was torn between cutting this beatiful creation, but in the end, taste won out.
The Man of the Hour
Shanees beatiful children Keanna and AJ gave a toast to the couple. Like his grandfather, this little man loved the attention.
A Toast to Forever
Chris and Shanee share a toast.
A Stolen Moment
As the guests danced the night away, Chris and Shanee stole away for a solo dance and some time alone.
