Evan & Melissa’s Bridal Shower near St. Louis, Missouri
Love and laughter filled the air at Evan and Melissa’s gorgeous bridal shower near St. Louis, Missouri! I had the honor of photographing this heartfelt celebration and capturing all the special details that made their day so memorable. From the first hugs when guests arrived to the joyful goodbyes at the end, this event was overflowing with warmth, fun, and excitement for the soon-to-be newlyweds.
Their bridal shower perfectly reflected Evan and Melissa’s personalities. Beautiful décor in blue, orange and green while thoughtful touches gave the day its unique charm. Guests enjoyed a fun “Toss the Bouquet” game and bridal shower bingo, which brought lots of laughs and smiles. Adorable custom cookies featuring their names were displayed as a sweet treat for everyone, and they were almost too cute to eat!
As a photographer, I always love capturing the candid, unscripted moments that tell the real story of a celebration. Some of my favorite shots from this event include Melissa sharing a quiet moment with her mom, and the couple’s genuine excitement as they opened gifts together. These natural moments are the ones that truly become lifelong memories.
I also can’t wait to photograph Evan and Melissa with their dogs. I love when couples include their pets in their story! Pets bring such authenticity, joy, and fun energy to photos, and it’s always special to see how they’re part of the family.
Details matter to me too. From the delicious treats to the personal touches that reflect the couple’s style. The little things, like those custom cookies or game prizes, deserve to be remembered as much as the big moments. They all come together to create the full picture of a beautiful day.
