A rainy December day filled with Elegance and Romance
Jeff and Kelly’s stunning black-tie wedding at the St. Louis Union Station was a breathtaking blend of timeless elegance and heartfelt moments, proving that even a rainy day can create the most magical atmosphere.
A grand and Historic Venue
The St. Louis Union Station is known for its breathtaking architecture, soaring ceilings, and intricate details that transport guests to a bygone era of luxury and charm. With its rich history and grandeur, it was the perfect venue for this sophisticated celebration. Every corner of the station exuded opulence, from the beautifully restored Grand Hall with its dazzling light show to the sweeping staircases that made for dreamy photo opportunities.
A rainy morning filled with love and anticipation
The morning of the wedding was filled with warmth and anticipation as the bride got ready in the Presidential Suite at St. Louis Union Station, surrounded by the two most important women in her life—her mother and maid of honor. Outside, the rain drummed softly against the windows, adding a cozy, romantic feel to the moment. Laughter and happy tears filled the air as they helped her into her simple yet elegant gown, a timeless design made even more meaningful by a delicately embroidered paw print in honor of her beloved Mia. Before heading to the ceremony, Kelly shared a deeply emotional first look with her father, his eyes welling up the moment he saw her as a bride. Just before stepping into her day, Kelly took a quiet moment to listen to the raindrops and read a heartfelt letter from Jeff.
In the quiet of the morning, Jeff got ready alongside his father and brother. Dressed in a classic black tux, he took a deep breath as he opened a heartfelt letter from Kelly, her words a steady reminder of the love waiting for him at the end of the aisle. Outside, the rain continued to fall, adding to the sense of intimacy and anticipation as he prepared for their first look.
