The last part of Justin and Lauren’s series is kind of a long one. I had such a hard time narrowing down these images. There were so many details, expressions, and events to show. This post begins at their beautiful ceremony at the City Museum in St. Louis.
I love the expressions here. This bridesmaid couldn’t keep it together. She loves her best friend so much. And this groomsman, not sure if he’s holding back laughter or he’s just displaying overwhelming pride and excitement. Either way, he’s looking right at Justin.
More of the neat walls around the City Museum:
This is always my favorite part in the ceremony… It’s a chance for the bride and groom to start their marriage in prayer. I definitely had to turn away and whip the tears from my eyes SEVERAL times during this part. Look at the grip she’s got on him. Jesie’s angle:
My angle. Love the pastor looking on.
The kiss! Great shots capture by Jesie.
Bride and groom portraits!
The top floor of the City Museum features this outdoor play area to include a Farris wheel. This was their first time see it. Again, I love their expressions as they rounded the corner that led to this rooftop play land. That is so Justin.. a little skeptical and sweet Lauren is just surprised and happy!
Excellent moment captured by Jesie. This is such a Vogue shot.
The Farris wheel!

The toasts!
Lovin’ the faces friends. :)
My fave:
Justin and Lauren… wow. What an incredible weekend with incredible people and incredible scenery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the opportunity to work with you both. You’re a terrific couple who has taught me a lot. Here’s to many more glasses of wine and many more games of Cranium!

This has to be one of your best shoots ever. Very creative, yet beautiful shots Rene!
About half of these are all my favorites–I can’t choose! I love the mirrors, the colors, the expressions, and the absolutely fun and great locations they had available to them! Way to go Rene! They couldn’t have done better with any other photographer…
Ah your photos always make me smile! so beautiful! oh and i love the faris wheel kiss!
Have I mentioned that I’m ready to go back to St. Louis to see these two? OOOO Idea! We should go back and have a one year anniversary shoot with them at the museum. OH THAT WOULD BE SOOOO FUN!
I think a visit is in order around Christmas!
Visit? Yay! I love visits!
