Ben & Ashley Kline's Modern Rooftop Wedding at Le Meridien | St. Louis Wedding Photography & Videography

Ben and Ashley’s rooftop wedding at Le Meridien in St. Louis, MO was one absolutely gorgeous day! There were so many details that made this weekend absolutely stunning! 

Ashley and Ben met each other at the ever so romantic Talayna’s (iykyk). Ashley was on the dance floor when Ben came up to her and told her she was beautiful and wanted to take her on a date. While Ben neither can pinpoint the exact moment they knew they wanted to spend their life together, both recalled that it was just easy to be together and they were each other’s best friend.

Ben & Ashley define class. They are poised and thoughtful of one another, tender and gracious towards each other. Their love for one another was evident in everything they did this weekend.

We were outstandingly lucky to have a beautiful engagement session at the Art Museum in Forest Park earlier this year and their wedding day was even more perfect!

The day started with the girls getting ready in the President Suite at Le Meridien where hair and make-up was done while the guys hung out poolside in the Grooms’ suite nearby. Ashley was surrounded with so much love from her girls, mother, and grandmother. When Ashley got her dress on and everyone shed a few tears when she came out. She was jaw-dropping!! 

The ceremony took place outside near the rooftop pool with the sunset over downtown Clayton behind them. They chose to do a unity candle lighting and breaking the glass as a reminder that marriage holds sorrow as well as joy, but their commitment to stand by one another even in hard times.

After the ceremony we took family photos and guests enjoyed cocktails around the pool with floating flowers before getting the party started at the reception downstairs. Ashley’s dad built a super cute champagne cart for the day!

Ashley and Ben had several influential people in their lives give toasts that were so touching. Guests brought their A-game to the dance floor all night long and we loved being able to watch the families participate in the Hora. 

All in all, it was truly a perfect day! Together, Ashley & Ben completely compliment one another. They are, indeed, a perfect match, and I am just bursting with joy that I get to document their love.

Ashley & Ben, no one deserves this perfect day more than the two of you. We are so beyond happy that I got to be there to witness the beginning of your next season in life. Thank you a million times over for being so incredible. We hope your marriage grows better each and every day. Your joy is contagious and I absolutely loved being surrounded by it on your wedding day. Cheers to many more decades of love and happiness!
