Wedding-Annie & Andy

I waited a long time to see & shoot the wedding of Annie and Andy!! Earlier this year I shot their engagement session click the link below to take a look back at that!!

They were married this October at St. Bonafice in Edwardsville and had the coolest reception at the St. Louis Planetarium!! The reception was a "green reception" which meant that all the food, beverages and the wild flowers that were used as table decorations were all home grown and produced right here in The Lou!! This is a photo-heavy blog because it's the night before Thanksgiving and I know they will be with family tomorrow and wanting to show off pics!! Let's get started!!

Pre-wedding and here is Annie's mom teaching her a relaxation technique.



And the guys look as cool as cucumbers...gotta hand it to my 2nd shooter for setting this one up!!!
Thanks for all your help Raquita Henderson of www.Pinxitphoto.com
