St. Louis Wedding at The Piper palm house in Tower Grove park
Heading into the weekend of April 2, 2022, we were expecting rain. Upon our arrival at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, we quickly scouted the area and knew we were in for a treat. Pink magnolias were in bloom and a pair of ducks floated in the nearby pond.
Arriving early meant we were able to capture candid photos of the couples’ closest family members and friends as they arrived. We were sure to grab some photos of the set up as well.
It wasn’t long before the couple and wedding party members joined us. We started with some wedding party photos…
…then moved on to the bride’s first look with her then fiancé.
This bride chose to have a first look with her father as well.
After taking a moment to themselves, the couple met back with us for photos of the two of them. We were able to grab more detail shots before the ceremony as well.
Before we knew it, it was time for the wedding ceremony. At this point, all guests had arrived at The Piper Palm House and had to taken their seats outside of the building. Time to start!
When putting together their wedding timeline, I was sure to factor in time for the couple to have a moment following the ceremony to mingle with their guests. This made for wonderful candid photos and a great time in general!!
Following the ceremony at this beautiful St. Louis wedding venue, the family gathered for formal photos. We were sure to find a way to include the bride’s brother, who lived in China and was unable to attend the wedding in person.
As guests gathered inside of The Piper Palm House, we snuck away for a moment to grab more wedding photos in Tower Grove Park right as the sun was beginning to set.
Not long after, we made our way back inside for the reception where guests were snapping polaroid photos for the guest book.
Instead of a traditional wedding cake, the newlyweds opted for donuts from Donut Drive In.
Choosing to forgo a bouquet toss, the groom threw a frisbee into the crowd instead. There was dancing ALL through the evening.
