This was an incredible Saint Louis Zoo wedding with Jessica & Dana!

Bridal prep was at the Moonrise Hotel located in The Loop followed by the first look on the gorgeous rainbow lighted steps. The day had light rain on and off all day but that did not stop us from getting some amazing portraits!

First portraits were shot in front of the Art History Museum in Forest Park, the location of their engagement. We were so lucky that the cherry blossom tree’s where in full bloom!  Then we went to the sea lion exhibit at the zoo.  The sea lion exhibit is impressive during normal business hours.  One of the perks of having your wedding at the St Louis Zoo is having the place to yourself!  The sea lions put on a show and created a magical moment for Jessica and Dana’s wedding day.

The ceremony was at the Mediterranean-style Herpetarium followed by a reception at the River Camp area of the Zoo. The Happy Bakery provided an amazing vegan cake and Spectrum Band had everyone dancing until late!
