Nehley + Dustin | St. Louis Wedding Photography

How amazing would it be to get married at your parent’s water-front property? From the moment we started following the hand-crafted wooden arrows along the road, we couldn’t wait to see what was in store! And without a doubt, Simply & Forever (and the other vendors as well), put on one fabulous event. I think it’s so fun to get out of town and have a change of scenery every once in a while. Nehley and Dustin’s spectacular wedding festivities were held just south of St. Louis. Nehley was able to walk right out their front door arm-in-arm with her Daddy, down the aisle to meet Dustin standing smack dab in front of the neatest backdrop. Not just a beautiful lake, but a custom-made birch wood cross with a center floral arrangement. It was one of the neatest and most fitting backdrops for an outdoor ceremony I’ve seen. Just adjacent to the house sat the big-top tent, the perfect spot for dinner & dancing. Wait until you see the photos…

Dustin proposed to Nehley on his 30th birthday. Now, after getting to know these two, I can totally see him telling his parents that he “was ready to settle down and have a wife” as Nehley put it. I love how animated he is with funny expressions (Nehley – I saved a few of these for you to see!) and completely in love with Nehley.

We had such a great time! I even had a little sidekick flower girl who followed me around and took pictures alongside me. I think I may have taught her a thing or two. 😉 Go Macy girl! Thank you so much N + D! Congrats to you both.

Enjoy the photos!
