St Louis wedding of Nicci and Eddy

You may remember the lovely Nicci and Eddy from my secret mission over the summer. After their Niagara Falls ceremony they still wished to celebrate with family and friends, so off to St. Louis we went! They currently reside in Texas, but used to live in St. Louis.

The day started with a morning portrait session. One of their favorite locations is Blueberry Hill, so we played inside for a few minutes. I loved the phone booth.

I've been strangely drawn to portraits on bike racks for years. And for these two it was especially fitting as one of their hobbies is biking on their tandem bicycle.

We scouted out their old apartment. While I was changing cards they started dancing to keep warm, and didn't stop once I started shooting.

You're probably wondering about the bunny. As a pair, these two have named themselves Team Sunshine Fuzzy Bunny, so it was only natural they brought along a mascot. If you watch the slideshow you'll see a few guests sporting bunny ears in celebration.

A big thanks goes out to Neal, my ninja lighting assistant. I was having him add some back lighting to a shot, and he was making sure to stay hidden. As with the Niagara Falls ceremony, Neal also performed this ceremony (and did an amazing job, I must say!).

Time to change into wedding clothes!

They were staying at the awesome Moonrise Hotel, which has so many spots for fun portraits.

They asked guests to find something teal to wear to the wedding, and these were a few of my favorite teal accents.
