Have you ever just automatically clicked with a couple…instantly knowing that you knew exactly what they envisioned and wanted on their big day?  Well… this was our experience with Linda Rigdon & Griffin Rahn.  From their post-wedding praise our initial gut reaction was correct…we executed their vision exactly and we are so happy they loved their wedding day photos.

On their wedding day despite the constant threat of rain before we began photos, the day cleared up beautifully and we were able to go to all the locations on their list…Busch Stadium, Kiener Plaza and City Garden…before heading back to an Artistic Soup Photography favorite…The 9th Street Abbey.  The ceremony was held in the courtyard and the reception was held inside.  You can see from the photos below why the Abbey is one of our top picks.  The stain glass, the old world charm and the elegance and  natural beauty of the courtyard offers endless backdrop potential.

Thank you so much Linda and Griffin for allowing Artistic Soup Photography to photograph your grand day.  We loved working with you!

Passionate Kissing…

More passionate kissing…

More and more passionate kissing…do you think they are in love?

Absolutely In Love!

The kind words Linda wrote on www.weddingwire.com Reviews just days after her photos were released. Thank you again Linda & Griffin!

Review: The best decision we made was our choice in Photographer. Angela (and Brian) did a wonderful job. She definitely exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend Artistic Soup to any couple looking for a photographer. Angela was great from start to end… and our pictures are simply amazing! Thank you so much for giving us such wonderful memories of our special day!

Two soccer lovers walked down the aisle on May 8, 2010.  Their names, Lauren Sachs and Todd Wilfing.  Todd illustrated soccer skill, but Lauren illustrated soccer skill even in high heel bridal shoes! Needless to say we were super impressed by not only the fact of this couple’s athletic ability, but they were also beautiful, kind, hip and intelligent.

St. John’s in South County hosted the ceremony and the historic church with its rich stain glass and dark wood made a beautiful backdrop.  The St. Louis signature locations of the Arch grounds and Ted Drewes were visited for fun photos by Artistic Soup Photography and then the wedding party greeted their guests at the new modern venue in Lafeyette Square, the Palladium, which now is a new Artistic Soup fav!

Thank you Lauren & Todd for choosing Artistic Soup Photography to be your wedding photography company of choice for this memorable day!  And a Big Congratulations to you both!

Julie Miller and Anthony (Tony) Nazzoli were married on May 1, 2010.  The weather was gorgeous and so was the bride!  The couple and their closest family and friends gathered at the Epiphany of Our Lord for the ceremony.  And then the wedding party headed to Ted Drewes for an afternoon treat before heading to Kiener Plaza, Tower Grove Park and then the Arch Grounds.  The reception was held at the historic Lemp Grand Hall.  The beautiful flowers you see in our photos were created by Les Bouquets http://www.lesbouquets.com/.  The day was full of fun, love and joy.  Thank you Julie & Tony for letting us be a part of it and Congratulations again!

The Hare Family is near and dear to our hearts.  Artistic Soup Photography began photographing them when little Ronin was just 3 months old.  Now he is a big boy of 2 years old…almost 3… and is expecting a little brother.  We were excited to hear about the new addition and to photograph the family & soon-to-be baby Lyon before his birth.
