We were in for a bit of a surprise when we got to the arch and found that the entire grounds were under construction and torn completely out and surrounded by 10-12&#8242; high fences! We knew it was undergoing some construction but neither of us anticipated NO grass left and no access to any grounds beyond the pedestrian filled paths. So&#8230; we improvised! I&#8217;m a wedding-photographer so reacting to the unknown and unexpected isn&#8217;t new to me and we grabbed a few shots at the base of the arch and decided to venture into downtown to find some greenery elsewhere and we had some great luck.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know about you guys, but I&#8217;m VERY ready for spring and some more of this beautiful weather and pretty flowers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17385 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3436copy-1_2000px.jpg\" alt=\"stl, stl portraits, st louis engagement portraits, st louis wedding photographer, engagement photos at cardinals stadium, cardinals stadium, downtown st louis, st louis mo, sjp, sjanephotography, engagement photos, outdoor engagement photos, engagement portraits, pictures, pics, \" width=\"1000\" height=\"481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3436copy-1_2000px.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3436copy-1_2000px-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3436copy-1_2000px-768x369.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17386 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3517_2000px.jpg\" alt=\"stl, stl portraits, st louis engagement portraits, st louis wedding photographer, engagement photos at cardinals stadium, cardinals stadium, downtown st louis, st louis mo, sjp, sjanephotography, engagement photos, outdoor engagement photos, engagement portraits, pictures, pics, \" width=\"1000\" height=\"997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3517_2000px.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3517_2000px-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3517_2000px-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.sjanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/23-17381-post\/Asjp_I3A3517_2000px-768x766.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>February is rare disease month and to celebrate we are doing another KDVS fundraiser this time to help the families effected by this rare syndrome.
