Janet (a.k.a. Jess Blandford) and Graham Lukens united on a beautiful summer day in June at the picturesque Eliot Chapel http://www.eliotchapel.org/ in Kirkwood, MO.

Artistic Soup Photography http://www.artisticsoup.com/ was there to capture the day and Sarah Grus http://www.sarahgrusweddings.com/ was the day of ceremony wedding coordinator.

With a large group of close friends in the wedding party and adventurous spirits after the wedding Jess and Graham took advantage of the nearby Kirkwood landmarks for pictures. The Kirkwood Train Station and the Kirkwood Farmer’s Market both made for wonderful backdrops for the fun pictures after the ceremony.

The reception was held at the exquisite Anheuser-Busch Center http://www.abconference.com/docs/ where Graham’s grandfather with fellow band members of the Indiana group “Men of Note” entertained the guests well into the evening.
