Being in love has its own magic and charisma! Being in love with someone with whom you wish to spend your life together is something that every one of us dreams about every single day! Being in love makes everything beautiful! While you are in love, you feel empowered and feel like you can conquer anything in the world! The moment you see the love of your life you feel endless butterflies in your tummy! When you are in love, the only voice you always wish to hear is your sweetheart’s! It feels like some jingle bells happily ringing in your head! Your darling’s presence does it all! Their eyes on you and love make the whole world go blurry in the background while your loved one stays in the focus! Being in love makes every season of the year extremely beautiful! Summer, Spring, Fall, and Winter, no matter which season of the month it is, you are just head over heels in love with every day of your life! 

Though every season is beautiful and perfect to fall in love with, we and our professional wedding photographers believe that when it comes to weddings, winter is indeed the best season to get hitched to the love of your life! Surrounded by a white pristine blanket of snow, and announcing your love for your sweetheart is nothing but purely magical! Winter weddings and glitter always go hand in hand and they always lend a whimsical setting to capture swoon-worthy wedding photographs in the best way possible! Our team of creative and talented wedding photographers believes that winter weddings have a lot going for them! Yes, summer weddings sure are stunning but there are some downsides to consider!  Scorching heat tends to make a hot mess of a bride's carefully coiffed wedding hairstyle and even to her bridal makeup. And with a hectic itinerary packed with other summertime nuptials, some of the wedding guests might be forced to RSVP 'no' to your warm-weathered wedding celebration. Bummer, right? But with a winter wedding, you can avoid all that and get stunning and romantic snowy wedding photos, holiday-themed wedding decorations, and much more that will make your wedding guests say a ‘big yes’ to your wedding invitations! The reason we are talking so much about winter romance and why winter weddings are best is that today we are going to take you all on a romantic and chilly walk-through of a winter wedding portfolio of our lovely couple- Melaine and Brandon! 

Our lovely St. Louis couple got married in the month of February which is again a winter month and also the most romantic month of the year! This month is all about love! As far as eyes can see, there is love and only love! The same thing you will be able to witness in all their wedding photographs that are captured by our creative St. Louis wedding photographers! Being a winter bride and groom is nothing but actually the best! And our adorable couple Melaine and Brandon’s winter wedding photos are the live proof of the same! 

Melaine and Brandon’s Wedding Theme

As they decided to get married in the month of February, our couple planned to host a winter-themed wedding! Everything about their St. Louis wedding was about winter, romance, and endless smiles and laughter! From their wedding decor to Melaine’s bridesmaid’s dress to her bridal bouquet and everything in between gracefully complemented the winter season in every possible way! 

For her winter wedding, her lovely ladies choose to wear burgundy color flowing maxi dresses, whereas, on the other hand, the groomsmen squad wore royal blue suits paired with a crisp black shirt to highlight the wintry vibe in every way possible! The rustic setting of her wedding reception venue added an extra charm and elevated her overall winter wedding experience! 

For all the couples who are planning a winter wedding and are looking out for some trendy and chic inspiration, Melaine and Brandon’s St. Louis wedding portfolio definitely have a ton of them for you to get inspired! 

All the Little Details Matter

Our professional St. Louis wedding photographers have keen eyes for all the little details that matter a lot when it comes to creating a flawless wedding portfolio! Our St. Louis and suburban wedding photographers captured every minute detail of Melaine and Brandon’s wedding in the most cinematic frames! Apart from capturing stunning and glorious Melaine’s bridal portraits and Brandon’s enchanting groom portraits they did capture other shots that are also important for an ideal wedding album! Our professional and affordable photographers in St. Louis captured Melaine’s wedding dress hung on a wooden hanger before our bride slipped into it in the most swoon-worthy frames! 

After her wedding dress, our St. Louis wedding photographers creatively captured our couple’s wedding ring along with all the other wedding decor elements of their wedding reception! Looking at their wedding reception decor, it was very much clear that our groom had deep love and inclination for the game of soccer! From the wedding guests’ seating arrangement to their sweetheart table, every corner had some soccer-inspired decoration! 

For a mother seeing her little daughter getting hitched and starting the new chapter of her life is unquestionably the most beautiful yet emotional moment! And it was the same experience for Melaine’s mom too! Before she and her mother got all decked out for her big day, they took out some time and posed for some relaxed mother-daughter portraits! After capturing some fun moments of Melaine and her mother, our wedding photographers of St. Louis gracefully and creatively captured our bride’s getting ready moments! While our bride was getting ready for her big day, she had the best company to help her in attaining that chic bridal look for her special day- her mother! Melaine’s mom helped her in buttoning her dress, along with her bridal accessories and other things! Capturing these kinds of moments is always a treat for our wedding photographers as these kinds of mother-daughter pictures speak for themselves! 

On the other hand, our photographers had a great time capturing our groom getting ready! Our wedding photographers did not let go of any detail! The way our groom was fixing his bow tie to the way he was rehearsing for his wedding vows and everything in between was beautifully captured by our talented photographers in St. Louis! We just loved the way our photographer captured our groom’s iconic US flag-inspired socks! They were really very cute and adorable! 

Not to forget the chic picture of one of Melaine’s bridesmaid’s denim jackets monogrammed with “babe” on the back! That was indeed a great DIY idea chosen by our bride’s bridesmaids to show the boss lady vibe for our bride and her girl’s team!
