Names: Samone & Gene Wedding Date: 2/22/20 Tell us how you first met? who what when where why? give us the dirty details. We actually met through my little sister Candace. I became single and she told Gene to text me and he randomly hit me up at midnight one night! I blew him off for a month or so before going on a date and 6 years later here we are. Tell us about the proposal. (Did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning?, how did you feel? nervous, excited, freaking out?) We moved into our first house together on 11/22/2018 which happened to be our 5 year anniversary. We spent that day moving in and eating at my parents because it was also thanksgiving. That night while we were putting furniture together and unpacking. Gene was in the bedroom and I was in the…
Patti Wedding Photography in St Louis Name | Kristen + Gary Date | 8.4.18 Ceremony | Oakland House, Shrewsbury, MO Reception | The Sunset Room, Shrewsbury City Center Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa Zimmerman Probably one of the most unique weddings of the year. Very small and intimate, but most importantly, LOTS OF TIME FOR PICTURES. I knew we would hit it off when they came in for a pre-wedding consultation and the conversation quickly went to the type of images they were looking for and we ended up with "I don't know, but we want unique." YES! This is what I do. Unique. Because we had so much time in our timeline it allowed us to drive all over and create some very unique images. We ended up bringing Kristen and Gary with us in our car and drove all over town. Everything from Forest Park to…
Shrine of St Joseph Wedding Photography in Downtown St Louis Name | Alex + AlyssaDate | 7.14.18Ceremony | Shrine of St. JosephReception | Windows on WashingonFlorist | Lasting ImpressionsHair and Makeup | New Seasons Salon and SpaDress Salon | Bridal ManorWedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa Zimmerman The Shrine of St Joseph is one of the most beautiful churches in St Louis for wedding photography. They have done an incredible job at maintaining the architecture and the beauty of this historic church. For Alex and Alyssa, the journey was just beginning on this day. The summer storms in St Louis, make your wedding day a little unpredictable. The weather report called for rain during the creative part of the day and we had our fingers crossed it would pass. And sure enough, it did. It let up just as we arrived at Lafayette Park and started up again, just…
Washington DC Wedding Photography Name | Yaser + HomaDate | 6.16.18Ceremony & Reception | The Crystal Room @ InterContinental The Willard Washington D.C.Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa ZimmermanHair | Nadia HijaziMakeup | Marcus CuenoFlorist | Platinum Wedding and Decor Yeser and Homa are probably two of my favorite people! Their wedding was in Washington DC and we got to photograph them all over the monuments. It was a blast for sure. This was one of the first weddings we got to photograph where the bride and groom helped each other get ready. If you are a bride and considering this, I am telling you, this is a much more intimate and memorable way to get ready. It was just the immediate family in the ready room and it made for a much more relaxed and memorable experience for the family. After Yaser and Homa finished getting ready, we…
Far Oaks Golf Club Wedding Photography Name | Ryan + DarinaDate | 5.12.18Ceremony | Far Oaks Golf ClubReception | Far Oaks Golf Club Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa Zimmerman This spring we got to work with Ryan and Darina on their very small and intimate wedding at the Far Oaks Golf Club in Illinois. May weddings in the St Louis area can go one of two ways, brutally hot and humid or just raining miserably. Well, we got one gorgeous day for a wedding! It was a beautiful day and it was an incredible celebration. We met the bridal downtown St Louis for some urban shots. Ryan and Darina had their first look here before heading off to Far Oaks Golf Club for the ceremony and reception. We snuck out at the end of the night for a final shot, something I love doing when I can. What a gorgeous sunset! Check out…
Sunset Hills Country Club Wedding Photography Name | Abby + NickDate | 6.23.18Ceremony | Salem United Church of ChristReception | Sunset Hills Country Club, Edwardsville, ILWedding Photographer | Sal Cincotta and Alissa Zimmerman Check out this Sunset Hills Country Club Wedding Photography event by Salvatore Cincotta Photography. What a gorgeous day it was for Nick and Abby! We got to shoot on a golf course - what could be better than that? For Nick, he was in his element for sure. It was a hot and muggy St Louis Saturday, but that didn't stop us from having fun with this crew. They were all close friends and we made the best of it. Now, I would be lying if I didn't say some of the cart driving was out of control. Mostly by the girls... let's just say they were having a little too much fun. Congrats you two! Thanks…
Name | Rob + Devin Date | 4.28.18 Ceremony | Holy Name Cathedral Reception | Maggiano’s Little Italy Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa Zimmerman DJ | O'Dea Entertainment Makeup & Hair | Monica's Make Up Studio, Blush Events Event Planner | Couture Events, Suzanne Halaska Limo Service | Windy City Limousine What an incredible day we had in Chicago with Rob and Devin. The Chicago Wedding Photography we were able to capture was incredible. The weather was gorgeous and the locations to die for. The day started with the girls at the Marriott downtown where the girls were partying, getting hair and makeup done, and waiting for the big reveal by Devin. While the boys were spending their time trying to figure out how to make a bow-tie. :) For creative pictures, we traveled all around downtown Chicago to create some of the epic images you see below.…
Sal Cincotta Miami Wedding Photography Name | Vince + Samantha Date | 3.9.18 Ceremony | The Hotel Colonnade, Coral Gables, Florida Reception | The Hotel Colonnade, Coral Gables, Florida Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta & Alissa Zimmerman Florist & Decor | Daniel Events Wedding Photography Location | Miami, Florida Vince and Samantha. These two. What can I say? See, Samantha is the daughter of good friends Rick and Yvonne, but that's really just the first fold of this story. I taught Samantha how to hit her first tennis ball when she was barely walking. Now, Rick would like to think he did, but, I am stealing the thunder on this one. :) Sammy would sit up at the tennis courts with us for hours because Rick was supposed to be babysitting, but he and I were tennis junkies! Sammy sat there patiently watching, waiting, and eventually would begin to chase…
Libby Wedding Photography | Sal Cincotta I have been a wedding photographer in St Louis for over 10 years now. I thought I had seen and experienced it all, but I was wrong. March weather is always unpredictable, but this was a new one for me. See, I was in Las Vegas at a conference getting ready to board a flight to Boston for a wedding I was shooting in New Hampshire. When I arrived at the airport, I found out all flights were cancelled due to a nor'easter hitting the east coast. Soonest they could get me in was Sunday night. Well, shit, that wasn't going to work, the wedding was Saturday morning. My bride and groom, as cool about things as could be. She said, "don't worry about it, I understand if you can't get here." Weather be damned. I was not missing this wedding. The journey soon…
