Nancy + James | St. Louis Wedding Photography » Heather Roth Fine Art Photography

Let me just tell you how it goes. Map-maker falls in love with web editor. Map-maker proposes 3 years later on a St. Louis rooftop. Eavesdroppers cheered. And she said YES! Nancy is a web editor for St. Louis Magazine, so it’s no wonder why she’s so detailed-oriented, and I love it. When Nancy + James first reached out to me, they sent along a photo of the two of them. (I’ve only had one other couple do that too – Jen + Brian!) I loved that I could put a face to an inquiry. And now here we are photographing their big, beautiful day. But let me describe James. He really is a geographer for the government and our conversation usually stops there. Top secret stuff! But after hearing bits + pieces of the toasts during the reception, I see why Nancy fell in love with him. Aww!

Spring was a little late this year, so it was just starting to make its appearance this late day in April. Every wedding I find something to gush (obsess) about. (Besides the couple!) This wedding I loved the reception room – the flowers! Created by Steven Mueller Florist – amazing. And all that white draping that hung from the ceiling beams (and the cake table) at the Forest Park Visitor Center – gorgeous. The bustle of Nancy’s dress. The red hair on the flower girl. The veil – hand-made by Nancy’s mother using lace from her very own wedding dress, which was also from her mother’s wedding dress. I really could keep going, but I know you just wanna look at the photos.

At the very end of the reception when we were saying our good-byes, James gave me the biggest hug. The appreciation meant so much! 😉

Enjoy the photos + congrats you two!
