I love finding unique spots in town for wedding pictures, mostly because I’m still scoping places out to hit for my wedding in September. I have had this particular location on lock down and tried to keep it a secret for some time. Now, I’m quite the awesome secret keeper, if I do say so myself. BUT, I really couldn’t keep this one quiet for much longer. Now, if I can just make sure no one will be on the ferris wheel when I need to be in September, I’d be golden.

A little background:
The City Museum is practically like this huge indoor playground for people of all ages (yes, we held sorority events here during college). It is also a great venue for weddings (I’ll save this one for another post). It has all of this re-purposed material used to make slides and things to climb on. Plus, on the roof, there are more things to do, including riding the ferris wheel.
Local bride (and wedding planner), Katie, and her husband took a ride on the Ferris Wheel after their wedding. Their photographer, Todd Studios got some awesome shots – including this one, featuring the night sky in Saint Louis.

So, for every obvious reason, I love this shot. And, I’m very excited to ride the ferris wheel in September with the Pilot. Lets just hope Lisa isn’t afraid of heights.
Are there any great spots in your hometown to get unique pictures? Please share them (or don’t if you’re uber protective)!

So, I am actually TERRIFIED of heights.
But…
more than I am scared of heights, I am in LOVE with getting the shot! Let’s for sure do this!!
