Laura found a beautiful wildflower field to stop at but the bus would not, again it was raining and wet. That didn't stop them and we drove Laura and Matt back to the field and shot just a few before the rain returned. They are some of my favorite images along with the ones of Laura getting dressed and their first dance where you can see the rain...it look like sparks.

(05.18.10 @ 11:20 AM)Love, love, love the pictures! And the video...TO DIE FOR. Makes me sad that we don't have one of our big day. I also absolutely love that she had so many bridesmaids--I wish I had gone ahead with my instincts and chosen to have a big wedding party rather than going small--kudos to Blake and Sarah for what looks like a fabulous day, and kudos to you, once again, Clary for capturing it perfectly!
(05.19.10 @ 10:34 AM)I am loving everything about this wedding--the gorgeous settings, the great bridal party (oh, how I wish I'd gone with my instincts and done a big bridal party rather than a small one!), the fantastic videographer, and the ALWAYS fantastic CP photographs!

(05.04.10 @ 08:11 PM)I finally have my internet back and have been waiting all day to check these! Gorgeous work! If I hadn't had a wedding to orchestrate myself that day, it would have been fun to tag along with Steph!
(05.04.10 @ 08:27 PM)Clary, i love your b&w pictures! and the details were just amazing!:)
(05.04.10 @ 08:36 PM)PS. Elliott's face in that last picture makes me laugh :) I love it! And, would you believe my Great Grandpa Harry MADE that canoe, and painted his initials on the bow himself (he was an artist like you!) and that my Great Grandma Olga lived to 99, I got to know her for almost 18 years of my life. I feel so incredibly lucky to have known her :) AGAIN, you are the BEST. Thank you so so so much!
(05.04.10 @ 08:49 PM)Awesome Pictures! It was such an honor getting to know Ryan and Chrissy and spending the day with them.

(05.05.10 @ 09:43 PM)WOW. SPECTACULAR!!! Can you say submission for style blog/magazine? ;)
(05.07.10 @ 04:11 PM)What a gorgeous wedding! All of the details were perfect. Chrissy is such a beautiful bride and love her vintage-y style!
(05.08.10 @ 10:47 AM)Gorgeous couple! Where did they have their reception?
(05.10.10 @ 05:37 PM)
Where was this taken? In a small town in Illinois where Tanner and Kellie grew up. Tanner liked Kellie all through school. Kellie never much cared until her mom told her to go a date with Tanner in college. That was the end of it, they fell in love.

(03.03.10 @ 03:37 PM)The horizontal shot of them laughing on Washington should big a BIG BIG canvas print. I want one for myself it's so cute! You can totally see their personalities in these photos and feel like you know them through the images you captured! WONDERFULNESS!!
(03.05.10 @ 12:46 PM)what a cute couple- they look very much in love and she was a beautiful bride!!!!!
(03.05.10 @ 06:15 PM)
01.02.2010 is a palindrome. It reads the same forwards as backwards which is very rare and only happens 9 more times this century. It also happens to be the wedding date of a very special couple. Their wedding was simply delightful, from beginning to end and backwards again. Why?Winter weddings are awesome!!
Courtney's beautiful dress.
The flowers!
Courtney and Patrick married in their home, which was a church. Also, they had their engagement session in a church:)
Candles.
The couple went outside to get a few of just them even though it was a freezing 7 degrees.
Even the few formal pictures where awesome, they wore traditional wedding attire from where Courtney's sister, Whitney, is working in the Peace Corps.
Reception was at a venue I've been wanting to shoot at for a really long time, Lumen.
Courtney's other sister and past bride sang the song for the first dance.
You two are awesome! Thank you so much for haveing me photograph your wedding day!!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Wow! Each woman in this family has had such an incredible wedding. Lumen is beautiful, I can't wait to shoot there this spring!
(01.28.10 @ 09:43 AM)Oh Clary, soooo dreamy and beautiful. My favorite was of Courtney looking up at you and Patrick's forehead pressed against her. She just has this look of...utter contentment and pleasure. I love the way you captured everything! Beautiful, beautiful. Congrats to Courtney & Patrick!
(01.28.10 @ 11:20 AM)gorgeous! i love the bride's red lipstick- trés chic!

(02.01.10 @ 09:17 PM)Clary- Once again your talent shines through, but look at the material you had to work with. The night was perfect and it will be a great memory for everyone who shared it with them.

I'm the first???? wowza. Might be one of the my faves of yours ever. They just exude love. :) and you captured some spunk..and romance. Well done!!!
(12.21.09 @ 09:25 AM)Clary, these pictures are beautiful! Mike belongs to St. Nicholas and you photographed it beautifully. My favorite pictures are the flipped reflections in the water. WOW! Hey Zack...congratulations!
(12.21.09 @ 10:49 AM)That bouquet! I don't think I've ever seen a more perfect winter bouquet. Gorgeous!!
(12.21.09 @ 11:35 AM)Gotta love the staches
(12.21.09 @ 12:03 PM)LOVE those shoes (and I own them in red for my wedding day).
Where are the shots by that curvy wall and the fountain? Love the detail.
The shots are great, lady!!
(12.21.09 @ 03:26 PM)First of all I remember this engagement session specifically so why am I surprised that I'm floored by the wedding pics? The shot of the girls + reflection then the shot of the guys reflection = perfection. This wedding is a great example of why I love you. You have a way of seeing things that the rest of us don't. Thanks for being a great inspiration.
(12.21.09 @ 07:13 PM)The wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Betsy and Zack looked stunning. As always, Clary captured the love and timelessness of the day perfectly.
(12.21.09 @ 10:44 PM)Best-est church in St. Louis!! That on top of that guys-with-mustaches shot and her absolutely perfect dress - wow!!
(12.21.09 @ 11:18 PM)I am in love...again...
First of all, I am in love with the shoes.
Secondly, I am in love with the photos of the bridal parties reflected in the water--I love how the men's main image is in the reflection, but the women's main image is themselves...and then you put the two pictures right on top of one another in the blog...just so cool together!
I am in love with the church...I had no idea that there was a church this gorgeous in town!
I love the bouquet and the great things this couple has done with their wedding! Beautiful couple!
And I am in love with what you do with pictures, Clary!
(12.22.09 @ 09:23 AM)I'm getting ready to blog a fun post about how much I am lovin' my hubby's beard, so needless to say, I LOVE THIS GROOM :) (and his raised eyebrow, which funny enough, Nick also did for one of the photos!)
ALWAYS love your work girl!
(12.22.09 @ 10:05 AM)i love everything about this wedding!! her shoes, her dress, the location!! and you captured it all so beautifully!! great job!! oh, and happy holidays ;)
(12.23.09 @ 12:11 PM)Wow, I'm kind of obsessed with everything about this wedding! But most of all...the joy radiating from the couple - they just look like they are oozing with happiness!
(12.28.09 @ 01:45 PM)Wow! Simply gorgeous! Beautiful couple, beautiful pictures.
(12.29.09 @ 10:26 PM)Oh. My. Gosh. I'm pretty sure this is the most gorgeous couple I've ever seen! Everything looks so timeless, but not outdated. That picture of their first dance looks like it's straight out of Great Gatsby! Nice work!
(12.30.09 @ 03:16 PM)I am always so inspired by your work! Hope you had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!! xx
(01.04.10 @ 12:29 PM)Hi Clary,
