Robyn and Chad tie the knot

When I told Jon we were going to Mexico to shoot Robyn and Chad's wedding, I could see visions of sombreros and margaritas dancing in his head. I chuckled a little and nudged him from his taco-filled daydream.

Chad and Robyn both grew up in Mexico, MO, and even though they now reside in St. Louis, they said their vows in their hometown in front of all their family and friends. We do a lot of shooting around the St. Louis area, and I must say, it was nice to get out of town just a little for a wedding in a smaller town.

We began the day at a local hair salon where this cutie entertained me with a variety of expressions. This was a wedding with super-cute kids. Exhibit A....

and pianos. Chad works at the Big Bang, so he called a few of the musicians and had live dueling pianos all night long. We seriously did not want to leave it was so fun. Jon snagged this shot of this little gal having some fun too :)

The one of the little girl by the piano is priceless. Josh was just in Mexico, MO. The first time he told me he had to go to Mexico for his job I thought, "Lucky." (imagine in a napoleon dynamite voice) and then I realized it was just Mexico, MO. Heh.
