Sara and Dan were married on June 11, 2011 at St. Clements Church in Des Peres. The fun laid back couple created a seamless day that began with getting ready photos at Sara’s parents home. The beautiful flowers were created by Les Bouquets. And the brooch you see on the bouquet was a family heirloom from Sara’s grandmothers. The rainbow colored stain glass at the church made for wonderful rich light and an amazing backdrop as Sarah and Dan exchanged vows. After many fun photos at the Missouri Historical Museum and the Grand Basin at Forest Park, the reception followed at the Forest Park Golf Course. Jason Clyde of Millennium Music was able to get everyone on the dance floor and have a great time.

Thank you Sara and Dan for giving us at Artistic Soup Photography this honor of photographing your wedding day!

On June 4, 2011, we had the honor of photographing an amazing party for Isabel in celebration of her 50th Birthday. And what a bash it was! Held at St. Louis Motor Sports in Chesterfield. Surrounded by luxury cars the guests enjoyed a magician, a mirrored bodysuit dancer, fine dining and the band Fat Pockets. It was truly a birthday to remember of Isabel and we are grateful to have the opportunity to photograph the fun!

Liz and Nick were married on May 29, 2011 at one of our favorite venues…Mad Art Gallery in Soulard. The art displayed, the lighting, a jail cell…who would not fall in love with this quirky, but yet sophisticated local gem.

The day began with family formals and scenic outdoor treasures at the Missouri Botanical Gardens.  Then we were off to Mad Art Gallery for the ceremony and reception. The bride and groom both are clearly amazingly creative making all the table centerpieces, guests favors as well as the chuppah for their ceremony.  They were a true blast to work with as well.  The staff at Mad Art were super friendly and real team players in working with us to make certain Liz and Nick’s big day was a huge success.  And the food at Mad Art well let us just say we wish we could go back nightly…Yum…Yum…

Liz & Nick…A BIG THANK YOU for letting Artistic Soup Photography be a part of this great day!

Artistic Soup Wedding Photography had the honor of photographing Stephanie and Bruce’s wedding on May 21, 2011. It was a beautiful bright spring day at Washington University‘s Graham Chapel which perfectly matched the character of the couple and their guests. The incredible architecture and stain glass windows added to the overall beauty of this special day.

Following the ceremony, a must stop for fun photos was Forest Park. Particularly the Grand Basin where Stephanie and Bruce spend their leisure time. The natural beauty of the park combined with the loving nature of this madly in love couple made for some wonderful photos.

The next and last stop was Window’s Off Washington’s West Room where the reception was held. Stephanie and Bruce are such a sweet couple whose love for each other made them naturals in front of the camera.

Thank you to Sisters Flowers for their beautiful and colorful arrangements and to Sabrina Torti of Proposing Dreams for her pre-wedding day planning guidance with the bride to make certain all happened without a hitch.

A big thank you to Stephanie and Bruce for choosing Artistic Soup St. Louis Wedding Photography to be there to capture the moments of such a wonderful and special day.

On May 14, 2011 Artistic Soup Photography was given the joyous task of photographing Alysha and Kyle’s wedding.

The wedding and reception were held at the Hidden Lake Winery which proved to be an incredible location for fun photos of the couple and their wedding party. Beautiful imagery was created with the help of the winery’s natural beauty such as the lake and vineyard as well as the elegant gazebo.

Alysha and Kyle were such a joy to photograph with their easy going demeanors. It was clear how in love they are and how easily they have fun together.

It was also a pleasure to work with Gigi of Weck Events. She masterfully and seamlessly, with the help of her assistant, decorated the winery for both a ceremony and reception. A true joy to work with!

A big congratulations to Alysha and Kyle on their new life together and a big thank you to the couple for giving Artistic Soup the honor of photographing their big day!
