Emily & Derek | Ameristar Resort & Casino, St. Charles, MO Dusty Rose Spring Wedding Photographer

Emily and Derek had a pretty large challenge just a couple of months before their wedding. Because of capacity limitations, they we forced to move their wedding to Missouri because having all of their friends and family surround them for the start of their marriage was so important. It truly was such a beautiful day as Emily and Derek said I do at the Ameristar Resort in St. Charles. The weather was a perfect 70 degree day. Emily worked so hard on all of the perfect details of the day. Their bridal party was so sweet and helpful and you could tell that they just wanted Emily and Derek to have the best day possible! Their pastor from back home was able to join them together and spoke an amazing ceremony about keeping God at the center of their marriage.

After the ceremony we took some really fun portraits on Ameristar’s gorgeous rooftop patio. Derek and Emily really bring out the best in each other and kept each other laughing and smiling all day. The reception was a beautiful celebration of the newlyweds. They spent the evening dancing with all of the people so special to them. I could not be more excited to finally share their wedding day and wish so many years of love and happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Simmons!
