Ryan and Christy’s Intimate Garden Ceremony | Missouri Botanical Garden

Ryan and Christy had a very intimate wedding with only a few of their close family and friends. We first met up with them at the Four Seasons Hotel in Downtown St. Louis where they were staying. I had never been to the Four Seasons before and felt so awe struck with all its grandeur and VIEWS! The hotel felt magical, which set the tone for the day. Ryan’s expression seeing Christy for the first time in the amazing glass staircase was priceless! I love first looks so much just for these sweet intimate moments.

The setting of the ceremony was held in the Boxwood Garden at the Missouri Botanical Garden creating a Victorian sort of vibe of yesteryear. Once Ryan and Christy said “I do” and sealed it with a kiss, they danced in the Boxwood garden. This might be the best first dance I have ever seen. It was just beautiful, simple and sweet. After their dance, we took some photos around the Gardens and then headed downtown for a few more photos.

The evening was PERFECT with a rooftop dinner at Vin De Set. The temperature was amazing with a beautiful sunset to kiss the day goodbye. We felt very lucky to be part of this intimate wedding and are so happy for Ryan and Christy as they begin life together as husband and wife!
