melissa + jared wed

Weddings by definition are one of the most unique events of the human experience. Watching two people unselfishly come together as one, all being witnessed by the closest people in their lives has to be one life's greatest moments. And we're fortunate enough to be able call it our "job" to enjoy these moments, almost on a weekly basis.

And as many of you who follow our blog know, we each of our couples are special, their Days unique. And then along comes a couple like Melissa and Jared. And one of the most humbling and beautiful unions we've ever witnessed. I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the house as these two committed their lives to one another. In an age of fake and plastic, these two are as real as it gets and their wedding day was a direct reflection of their love and commitment. And we were lucky enough to get to capture it and get to know them along the way.

And with a day that looked to be ruined by rain, the stellar team of vendors did a remarkable job making the last minute changes that kept things rolling. The Catering St Louis staff at the Artist's Guild, Rockstar DJs, Sugaree and especially Dean at Botanicals Design Studio were amazing to work with as always and really were the epitome of a true professional team. Thank you so much for all you did to make Melissa and Jared's Day special and for helping make our job easier as well :)

Melissa and Jared, from the bottom of Melisa and I's hearts, thank you for letting witness such an amazing day. We hope you enjoy these as much as we enjoyed taking them. Cheers!
