What a wonderful, magical day Frank & Jen’s wedding was! It feels like we have been waiting for this day for so long, for so many reasons! One of them being that Frank & Jen got married in St. Louis, which we have never been to! Caleb and I had no idea what to expect about what St. Louis would be like but we fell quickly in love! We had a blast exploring the city and taking photos in some really, really gorgeous spots : ) Thank you two SO much for inviting us to the HOT but AMAZING STL!!!

The more important reason we have been looking so forward to this wedding is because we love Frank & Jennifer. They are SO easy to love. Truly, some of the kindest and most selfless, generous, and loving people you will ever meet. Both of them so sincere and sweet … and both SO fun AND funny! I literally could talk about them all day and hang out with them all the time. They are wonderful and have made us feel so, so loved over the past year getting to know them. Jen and I would BOTH agree that the timing of our meeting and relationship has really been something orchestrated by God and that is not something I take for granted! I am so thankful for these two and the many, many ways they have loved and encouraged Caleb and I since the day we first met them : )

It’s true, it was a hot one for their wedding last weekend! It was even hotter in Wisconsin, believe it or not, so we took that one as a win! Everyone was such a champ about the weather and I’ve said it before but will say it again, extreme weather conditions really call for a sense of camaraderie between everyone involved on a wedding day and the community and teamwork that forms is something that I love SO much!! Frank and Jen have some pretty amazing friends who loved on us and were such a great help and support system all throughout the day … we really, truly could not have asked for a better crew and the day was just a BLAST : )

I can’t not comment on how AMAZING Jen looked in her Hayley Paige gown with flawless hair and makeup … the most beautiful and radiant thing of all though, that smile of hers that I love SO much!! There were lots and lots of tears throughout the day and the LOVE shared BY these two and FOR these two was something really special : ) I was reminded again, SO strongly, of what an incredible privilege our job allows us to capture people and relationships and truly life-changing moments. It was such a good day : )

Frank & Jen — love you two from the bottom of our hearts : ) ENJOY some of our favorites from your day and thank you again for letting us be a part of it!!!!!

Cannot handle!!!! <3 <3

Time to get her married, Dad <3

LOVE : )

This confetti was SUCH a fun idea!!!

Sharing some pain au chocolat together … when they were both in law school, Frank and Jen would go to church and then head to a favorite spot afterwards, Peter Sciortino’s, for pain au chocolat : )

A very special shout out and THANK YOU to Frank & Jennifer’s amazing wedding day team!
