madrid theater Archives - Sarah & Ginger Photography

Back today for part two of Scott & Cailin’s wedding. We headed over to the Madrid Theater for ceremony & reception time. It’s a beautiful space. Often couples get trapped by beautiful spaces and opting to do too many small things and miss making an impact. We were super impressed by Cailin’s choice to do large focal florals for her ceremony (that doubled after the reception space flipped). They added interest, color and impact without a lot of work on her part! The table designs were simple and tasteful spread with their favorite literature quotes, candles and homemade apple butter favors!

After all the nerves which melted beautifully into contented joy, everyone was ready to let the party begin! The Madrid does such a fantastic job and accommodates wedding/ceremony combos so well! While the staff flipped the ceremony space for dancing and dinner, the guest enjoyed drinks upstairs! BBQ for dinner, great live music, quilt-square guest book, good friends and lots of laughter carried this event into the evening. As we mentioned before, this wedding was particularly special for us since we grew up with Scott – so we got to enjoy the evening with lots of familiar faces!!

Congratulations Scott & Cailin! We wish you much love and adventure. XO – Sarah & Ginger

Scott & Cailin got married in a cool October weekend. Their day was full of personal touches, family heirlooms, intentional choices, nods to their passions/interests and best of all, celebration. All things, that weddings should be in our opinion! We began the day at The 816 Hotel in the heart of Midtown where Cailin was gathered with her ladies, her mom, Scott’s mom & sisters. Just one floor up Scott & his groomsmen were preparing. It’s always amusing to compare the hustle and bustle with a bride with the relaxed joking and video games surrounding grooms. It was easy to tell that both Scott & Cailin were nervous as well as excited for the day the lay ahead.

Because of the fall season and their ceremony time and Missouri – for real – they opted for a sneak peek. We were able to duck out of the hotel with just the bride & groom and head to The Nelson Art Galley (where Cailin works!) for their first look. The couple decided to exchange rings during this time, which we felt was a very special touch. We met up with the bridal party at a local arcade. This felt like the perfect spot for Scott, the comic & game enthusiast! With a few tables moved around, a few chairs to stand on ;) and some creative thinking – we were able to snag some fun images of the group as well!

We then took a trolly over toward Pilgrim Chapel and had a lot of fun with group portraits on some stairs on the side of an old building. The weather was turning on us and getting seriously SOO cold, so we were all happy to get moving toward ceremony time!
