St. Louis Wedding Photo Locations

Well, I am back from St. Louis, and I had a wonderful time! It is truly an enchanting city. And let me just say love is certainly in the air in St. Louis. As a matter of fact this was one place I didn’t have to go looking for weddings; I was bumping into them all over town. But I am getting ahead of myself, let me just back up and start from the beginning.

We stayed at the lovely Crowne Plaza located in the heart of downtown St. Louis. The hotel was beautiful, the service was impeccable, and the view (the Mississippi River and the Gateway Arch) from our room was amazing. This picture was sunrise from our room. The feature I loved most was the Atrium Lobby lounge if you are planning an event. I think this is a perfect place for guests to gather for any occasion. We met our friends here and ended up spending the afternoon, it has such a comfortable atmosphere.

Then we set out to explore the riverfront (tons of restaurants and nightlife) while walking through the park we came across a bride and groom having their wedding photos taken. The scenery was absolutely beautiful and so was the bride. These magnificent trees provided the back drop and the fallen autumn leaves were at her feet. It was the perfect location for fall wedding photos. But the next location I was about to discover was even more surprising.

Kiener Plaza, turns out to be overwhelmingly popular for wedding photos, so much so, that the wedding parties were literally lined up. I was surrounded by weddings! It was wonderful! I found a seat on a park bench and just soaked it all in. Each wedding party had its own style, of course, so I got the chance to see an array of bridal gowns, hair styles, and shoes, I could go on and on. I spoke with a photographer (in line) and she told me every Saturday from May through October there is a steady flow of weddings coming to the plaza for photos.

Now that you know where to get your wedding photos taken you need to find a place for your reception.  There are several first class hotels right near the riverfront and Keiner Plaza including the Crowne Plaza, the Hyatt, the Hilton and others.  You can also check out the list over at mywedding.com.
