St. Louis Zoo - St. Louis, MO - 10.26.24


Jacob and Amanda couldn't have asked for a more perfect day at the St. Louis Zoo for their wedding! The sun was shining, the air was crisp and clear, and the animals were out - the perfect recipe for a fun afternoon before their vows were said at sunset.


We started their day with a private first look under the vibrant yellow leaves of fall, before wandering around the zoo and taking in some of their favorite zoo exhibits. After their little adventure, we met up with the rest of their wedding party to throw pennies in the fountain for good luck! I've never been around a more delightful wedding party, and feel so lucky to have gotten the chance to spend time with them all!


Their quaint courtyard ceremony was breathtaking, and both their officiant's message and their own personal vows nearly brought me to tears! This was truly a dream of a day, and I am so honored to have been the one to capture it all.
