St Louis Ritz-Carlton Solarium Wedding Photography

Erika and Doug’s wedding day was a timeless and intimate celebration held at The Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, one of St. Louis’s most iconic wedding venues. With both their ceremony and reception taking place in the stunning Solarium, their day flowed seamlessly from heartfelt moments to joyful celebration. One of our favorite things about Erika and Doug is how much fun they have with each other. They just crack each other up, and in many ways…they remind Shannon and I of us. Doug and I (Joel) have a lot in common about how we love to make people laugh…usually with random acts of weirdness.

The Solarium’s glass ceiling, warm brick walls, and hanging greenery created a romantic indoor setting filled with natural light. Erika and Doug exchanged vows surrounded by close family and friends in a ceremony that felt deeply personal and emotional.

After the ceremony, the space transformed effortlessly into an elegant reception. Candlelit tables, lush florals, and soft lighting set the tone for an evening filled with meaningful toasts, laughter, and a lively dance floor. From emotional first dances to joyful moments with guests, the reception perfectly reflected Erika and Doug’s love and connection.

Their wedding was a beautiful example of how classic design, thoughtful details, and genuine emotion come together to create an unforgettable day in the heart of St. Louis.
