Mr. & Mrs. Buhr | Westphalia, Missouri Weddin

Bridget and Luke were married on a beautiful October fall day in Westphalia, Missouri! Bridget prepared for the big day at the new Westphalia Inn while Luke and the guys got ready at his cousins home. The Westphalia Inn is such a gorgeous space and perfect for getting ready on the morning of a wedding! The suite was a pretty large space with many adjoining rooms. There are even several mirrors set up for hair and makeup. This made it easy for all of Bridget’s bridesmaids to get ready. After everyone was all finished with hair and makeup, we snapped a few quick portraits of Bridget and all her girls in their matching pjs.

Bridget got ready with the help of her mom and sister’s! She was fully dressed and ready to go incredibly fast! We were quite impressed with their efficiency! She shared a quick reveal with her bridesmaids before heading to church for portraits. All her gals exclaimed the happiest of cheers! Over at church, we photographed bridesmaid portraits and groomsmen portraits before the ceremony. Bridget and Luke shared in a traditional Catholic mass ceremony at 1PM at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Westphalia. Within the hour, the two exchanged vows and rings and were pronounced Mr. & Mrs. Buhr.

After the ceremony, we documented family formals and then headed to the Sinquefields in Folk, Missouri! This location was absolutely stunning. All the fall leaves were showing off on their wedding day! Bridget and Luke were blessed with such a beautiful sunny day! The golden glow from the sun filtered through the fall foliage adding an extra level of vibrancy to the portraits. Bridget and Luke were cute as can be as we documented their newlywed portraits! These two were up for anything and their giggles carried though portrait time.

We headed back to Westphalia after portraits for the reception! Guests were excited for the arrival of the new Mr. & Mrs. Buhr. Toasts were delivered and then guests enjoyed dinner. After Bridget and Luke finished up with dinner, we whisked them away just down the street from their reception for a few sunset portraits. The sun was just dipping behind the trees when we arrived, but we managed to get that last bit of glow before sunset! Bridget and Luke made these portraits a breeze! We documented so many romantic shots in just five minutes.

Back at the reception hall, Bridget and Luke along with their bridal party were officially announced onto the dance floor! The night of celebrating was officially kicked off! The remainder of the evening was spent documenting guests dancing the night away. We had such a perfect day with these two!

Bridget and Luke, thank you so much for allowing me and my team to document day one of your marriage! You two had such a perfect day and we feel so honored that we got to be there to capture it all! Wishing you all the best and you enter this new chapter as husband and wife! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Buhr!
