European Theme Wedding

Caty + Randy // Old Town St. Charles Wedding Photography

Good morning!  Happy Monday!
I'm so happy to share this gorgeous wedding with you!  The beautiful spring colors & details from Caty & Randy's wedding were just perfect!  She wanted a European, romantic vibe & I think she nailed it!  Keeping with "typical" spring weather, they just happened to have a pretty rainy day for their wedding - but we got blessed with just enough time to do everything we needed to do outside before it started raining again - love when it works out so perfectly!
Oh!  & if you want to see their beautiful engagement photos from last fall you should look here!

This is Caty's childhood dog - she just had to have him in a few photos on her wedding day - I think he enjoyed his moment in the spotlight.

I'm so glad the storm held off a little while for us to get all of these beautiful images at the Old Capitol Building in St. Charles...it was the perfect setting!

Right after we decided to pull out the "just in case" umbrellas for a few fun photos with them - it started to rain!  Good thing we were able to get all the other photos taken before then!

Their reception at the St. Charles Embassy Suites was so elegant.  
& how beautiful were their floral arrangements?  Perfect for their spring wedding!

Now, you tell me...what romantic, European style wedding would be complete without a gelato cart & cute little European details??!

OH!  Did I mention that there were seven of my brides at this wedding?!  Five of them were all related (by marriage), so of course, I just had to get a photo with them!  & three of these lovelies now have adorable children I get to photograph too - needless to say I feel like I'm with family when I'm with all of them!  Love you girls!
