The first spring wedding of this year did not disappoint. I was so incredibly lucky to be able to photography Erica and Dillon’s completely gorgeous day this spring. Surrounded by so many friends and family, the two said their “I do’s” at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St. Louis. Beautiful florals and smiles were everywhere. These two (with much help from their families) put on a wedding in a mere couple of months!

Erica looked absolutely stunning, as did her bridesmaids in their mismatched purple dresses. And I can’t forget to mention those umbrellas! And the asparagus and succulent bouquets! The guys also looked quite dashing in bowties and navy suits.

From the rose garden to the victorian district to the Blanke Boxwood Garden, where they had their ceremony, the atmosphere was just perfect. Erica’s brother officiated the ceremony and, despite the trouble with Dillon’s ring… things went off without a hitch!

After the ceremony, we almost had the whole garden to ourselves. You couldn’t keep the smiles off Erica and Dillion’s faces… and I really didn’t want to! What a funny, loving and beautiful couple they make.

As the night came to an end at The Cedars Banquet Hall, there was no shortage of laughing, dancing (with awesome tunes by Perfect Day Entertainment), eating and maybe a little crying at those wonderful speeches (I’m looking at you Mr. Siddle). Congratulations Erica and Dillon! You two are made for each other and I know you will have lasting happiness.
