“Wedding or elope? Wedding or elope?”
When we first met Maria & Brandon, this was the question at hand. They were struggling with the decision and weren’t sure if they wanted to take on the challenge of planning a wedding from afar or prefer to run off somewhere and have an intimate ceremony just the two of them. After much back and forth, they decided that they wanted to celebrate with friends and family in the city where their love blossomed.
The beginning of their love story was curated from afar, as Brandon was stationed at Scott Air Force Base and Maria lived on the east coast. But after three years of long distance, they were ready to make it official. To honor the distance that was such a large part of their relationship, they decided to incorporate travel and transit themed details with a touch of “Meet me in St. Louis” sprinkled in.
Their intimate affair, perfectly set in some of St. Louis’ most iconic spaces, provided their friends and family with a beautiful experience of our city’s treasures and we were so thankful to help curate this celebration for all to enjoy.
