A Traditional Muslim Wedding

5/15/2022

Comments

A preview of Savana and Sami Muslim wedding.

We started the day at Savana home. This would be the last day she spends in her childhood where she met Sami for the first-time years ago. So, it was the perfect place to have the first look. Of course, it wasn't a traditional first look, they danced and celebrated. A theme that would exist throughout the day.

We then headed to Forest Park with a couple for a few bride and groom photos.

After that we return to the home so that the couple could relax and have a bite to eat. Then, when the band showed up was back to celebrating again. from inside the house out to the front lawn where are the dancing and celebrating continued. This time with a five-piece percussion band complete with megaphone! Needless to say, everyone came out to watch in the neighborhood!

Then, we all got in our cars and paraded to the venue, The LiUNA Event Center, honking our horns the whole way!

When we arrived at the venue, more dancing and celebrating on our way to the actual room where the ceremony/reception would be happening.

The room was decorated beautifully. Even a special spot upfront on a platform stage for Sami and Savana. A beautiful white couch arced over the top of the couch and ornate flower structure, and above that their names in gobo lights.

We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding!

Engaged in Clarksville, Missouri

5/14/2022

Comments

A few of our favorite photos from Rebecca and Nathan‘s engagement session in Clarksville Missouri.

We met these two at the cute and quaint, Clarksville Missouri. A small river community off the Mississippi River with a population of just under 500.

We simply loved it! It kind of felt like we had the whole town to ourselves most of the time!

Rebecca and Nathan complement each other very well and are simply perfect together. They are sweet and playful together and keep each other giggling throughout the session! It is so cute♥️

Becca and Nate will have a "horse themed" wedding so when they showed us the sign they brought along, they made it for the wedding (It's their last name spelled out using horseshoes), we simply loved it and had to use it for pictures! It was very heavy though! We joked about it throughout the day😅

We had a great time getting to know these two and can’t wait for their wedding in August!

Engaged at Cuivre River with Brittany + Joe

3/20/2022

Comments

Check out this amazing preview of an engagement session we shot at Cuivre River State Park in Troy Missouri.

Brittany and Joe are one of the first couples to come to our office to book their wedding. We talked for well over an hour! So, we knew this engagement session was going to be so much fun!

Brittany and Joe live in Troy so when talking about engagement session locations Cuivre River was number one choice.

We met Brittany and Joe at the top of Frenchman's Bluff. It is a lookout area where you can see the Cuivre River. We love the amazing rocks that you can walk out on to get a better view. We had to snap a drone photo of these two on this fantastic view.

Check out the double exposure photo we did to show off this rocky landscape!

After that we walked down the pathway that was very neat and then went down to more non-rocky ground to get some other types of shots. We had these two giggling and laughing throughout the session.

We had a wonderful time photographing and getting to know these two! We can’t wait for the upcoming wedding in November!

A classic wedding with a floral theme at St. Francis Xavier College Church

1/15/2022

Comments

A preview of Libby and Mike's floral themed wedding at St. Francis Xavier College Church.

Libby and Mike met at friends Halloween party back in 2017. For the first date, they went out to dinner at a burger bar.

On Memorial Day weekend they had planned a little trip and Mike suggested that they take their dog, Uno, for a walk before they go so, he won’t be so rowdy. They headed over to Lafayette Square Park to take the dog for a walk, walked to the gazebo where Mike got down on one knee. Libby started crying but most important of all, she said yes!

This made for a great location to photograph their engagement session! We even started off the session at the very gazebo or Mike propose to Libby. Uno was even there for a few shots! He’s such a cute, rowdy rambunctious puppy!

These two say their favorite TV show is “The Good Place" and they also enjoy going for walks, watching TV and traveling to new places.

If asked if they could describe the relationship in one word Libby and Mike use the word "support". This is truly a perfect word to describe their relationship. We saw this throughout their engagement session, and on the wedding day.

Libby and Mike had a traditional wedding ceremony at Saint Francis Xavier College Church. We loved Libby's beautiful white and floral wedding dress along with floral crown. She was determined to make this winter wedding feel like spring.

Libby went to school at SLU, along with her two bridesmaids.

So, after the ceremony and formals we walked a bit around the SLU campus to take a few more photos. Since it was a blustery cold winter January day, we only did a few photos outside before finding a building we could take more photos at inside.

We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing their wedding!

Congratulations and Best wishes!

A non-traditional wedding at The Jewel Box + Genesis catering.

12/11/2021

Comments

A preview of Rachael and Josh's wedding at The Jewel Box in Forest Park and Genesis.

We started the day with a few getting ready photos at an Airbnb the couple rented near Forest Park.

Next, we headed to Forest Park to The World's Fair Pavilion for a first look and other formal photos, since we had such a limited time in-between the ceremony and reception. It was a very sunny and beautiful but very windy, December day. Everyone tried their best to tough it out for pictures, but we found them often huddled around a circle trying to keep each other warm.

The wedding ceremony took place The Jewel Box in Forest Park. This amazing greenhouse is a great place for ceremonies! With lots of natural light and seasonal plants and flowers!

Next up, the reception at Genesis Catering. Rachael and Josh had a private last dance at the end of the reception, where they asked everyone to leave the reception Hall. It was just us (videographer and photographer) and Rachael and Josh. It was such an intimate and romantic moment, and we captured some really great photos and video.

We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding!

Congratulations and Best wishes!

A preview of a maternity session shot at Klondike Park in Augusta, Missouri.

Maggie and Frank will be welcoming their baby boy into the world very soon!

We were so excited when they reached out to us to photograph their maternity and newborn session!

We photographed their engagement session and the wedding, and we are so excited to get a chance to capture another milestone for this sweet and fun couple.

I wish I could tell you all it was perfectly beautiful sunny skies and no wind at all, unfortunately that was not the case.

Maggie and Frank were troopers as they braved the cold with us and we ended up with beautiful pictures!

We had a great time yet again photographing Maggie and Frank and look forward to meeting baby Xavier soon!

Retro/Classic Wedding | Old Stone Chapel + New Town Event Tent | Amanda + Jason

10/23/2021

Comments

A preview of Amanda and Jason‘s wedding at Old Stone Chapel in Saint Charles, MO and New Town Event Tent in New Town Saint Charles, MO.

These two met online through the site "Plenty of Fish". for their first date they met at Ethel's Smokehouse.

At the time Jason was living in Barry, Illinois and drove all the way to O’Fallon, MO to meet Amanda.
A 2-hour drive! At the restaurant they enjoyed dinner and talked for several hours.

Their usual date style is laid-back and love to laugh together. They enjoy walking around Main Street St. Charles and trying new barbecue places.

During a family photo session with their dog Ollie, A seven-year-old Sheltie, Jason proposed to Amanda! It was a complete surprise to Amanda, and they were able to capture the whole moment on camera!

If asked if they could describe the relationship in a couple of words they said, selfless, strong, beautiful and loving. Definitely perfect words to describe these two. They are truly a strong and selfless couple that loves their family and friends and each other with all their heart.

The wedding ceremony took place The Old Stone Chapel in St. Charles Missouri on Main Street. We love the brick and neat chandeliers throughout the building.

After the ceremony and formals with the family, we did a few more pictures in Saint Charles on Main Street, mostly the riverfront. Then we all headed to New Town to get ready for the reception and a few more pictures.

Amanda and Jason ‘s dog Ollie, met us there in New Town. We love when couples have someone to bring their pet to a location for pictures on the wedding day! We had a great time walking around and just getting some casual fun pictures with a couple, the wedding party, and the doggy.

Finally, it was time for the reception, at New Town Event Tent. Towards the end of the night, we were able to sneak Amanda and Jason out for one more "nighttime picture" in front of the fountain. We love when couples give us the opportunity to take nighttime photos!

To end the evening, a sparkler exit! A great way for your guests and the couple to enjoy a final goodbye at the end of the night.

We loved getting to know these two and had a wonderful time photographing and filming their wedding!

Congratulations and Best wishes!

A preview of Monica and Cody's traditional/classic wedding at
The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis and
Silo Point at Brookdale Farms.

These two met at a friend's wedding. They must’ve hit it off right away, because Cody came all the way to
Chicago, for their first date, where Monica was living. They went to mass, went to lunch and then walked around downtown at the lakefront.

Their usual date style, casual, dinner out bowling or movie.

The proposal story sounds like a usual night at home. they were cooking at home talking and dancing around the kitchen while cooking. After dinner Kodi said he had made dessert and had to go get it from his truck. When he came back, he had a big smile on his face and his hands behind his back. He walked over to Monica was, got down on the knee, and pop the question.

They enjoy gardening, reading, taking walks and watching movies together.

If asked if they could describe the relationship in one word, they used intentional. Definitely perfect word to describe these two. They are so love and caring for each other. We saw that throughout the wedding day.

The wedding ceremony took place at The Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis. A huge and amazingly beautiful church.

After the ceremony and formals with the family, we headed to Forest Park for some wedding party and bride groom pictures.

It was unbelievably windy at the park, but everyone made the best of it, and we captured some amazing photos!

Finally, it was time for the reception, at Silo Point at Brookdale Farms in Eureka, MO.

We had a wonderful time photographing and filming Cody and Monica's wedding and getting to know these two!

Congratulations and Best wishes!

Schroeder Wedding Preview | 8.7.21 | Trinity Lutheran Church + Smartt Field Airport

8/7/2021

Comments

A sneak peek of Casey and Paul's wedding at Trinity Lutheran Church and Smartt Field Airport.

These two met when they were just kids and both love boating!

For the first date they took the boat out for the evening, obviously it went well😂

Their favorite date style is eating some Mexican food or being on the river.

Paul had one of Casey ‘s friends gather a bunch of photos of them a plan to set them up with candles, champagne, flowers etc. at one of the boat harbors near the river. It was pouring down rain so instead he asked if they wanted to go for a drive before dinner instead (something they did often) and he had Casey’s friend come and said everything up in their kitchen instead while they were out. Paul “intentionally“ left his wallet at home so he'd have to go back before dinner and grab it at home. He ran inside and then called for Casey to come inside because one of the windows was leaking. These two had recently bought their first home together and have been remodeling it. they had had continual problems with the window, so she didn’t think anything of it when he called her in. When Casey walked inside Paul was already down on one knee! Casey of course said yes, and afterwards they went to celebrate with family at a nearby restaurant.

If asked if they could describe the relationship in one word, they used supportive and unfailing. Definitely perfect words to describe these two. They are so loving and caring for each other. We saw that throughout the day and throughout their engagement session as well!

They say their favorite show they have to watch together is Yellowstone.

These two say their favorite way to spend time together is of course on the river, but when it’s cold outside they like to stay home watch movies and play games.

They had a beautiful ceremony at the gorgeous Trinity Lutheran in old Saint Charles. After a few family formals at the church, we headed to a very neat old barn, of the families for some more formals. Then with just the wedding party we went to the river where they like to hang out and drink and then froggy ‘s bar so they could all finally relax before the reception.
The reception was at the very unique Smartt Field Airport in Portage Des Sioux, a small river town in Missouri, not far from Saint Charles.

We had a wonderful time filming, photographing and getting to know these two! Congratulations and Best wishes!

Winter Engagement Session | Main Street St. Charles, MO

2/20/2021

Comments

Check out a few of our favorite photos from the first engagement session of the season!

We met Casey and Paul in St. Charles on Main Street. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday and it was very crowded. We did our best to stay away from the crowds but Casey and Paul did have to display their affections a few times in front of quite a few people who gave them nothing but praises😂

Paul and Casey have known each other since they were kids, and can’t even remember how they first got to know each other.

Casey and Paul both love boating and for their first date they took the boat out for the evening.

Their favorite way to spend time together is anywhere on the water, such as boating, hiking and fishing, when it’s nice out.

When it’s cold out they stay in and watch movies, play games, bake and craft.

They also have two black labs that keep them quite busy and say their TV show they can’t miss is “Yellowstone”.

Paul had the perfect idea for a proposal!

He was going to have candles, champagne and flowers all set up on the boat harbor near the river.

Unfortunately, it started pouring down rain so he planned a dinner instead. What Casey didn’t know is that Paul had friends gathering at the house setting up everything. He intentionally left his wallet at home.

When he ran inside to grab it he asked Casey to come inside and look at the leaky window that was in their new house that had been having problems.
So she thought nothing of it and walked right inside...

When Casey walked in, Paul was already down on one knee, everything set up behind him, candles, Champagne, flowers, etc. It was a beautiful scene❤️ Paul then had family waiting at a nearby restaurant to celebrate after.

We had a great time photographing at getting to know this wonderful couple and look forward to their wedding in August!

A little preview of the holiday session we had with the Bishop family + the in-laws.

We are so happy to have met this sweet and loving family.

Some of you know that during the week I work at St. Louis Bread Company. This is where I met, Stephanie. Although our interactions are not very long, I noticed her sweet smile and loving personality. I loved her instantly! ☺️

So, once the holidays came around I had to show off the beautiful scenes for the year to her. She loves them and thought I would be a great idea to have a holiday photo session and since she was going to have her inlaws in town for Thanksgiving it was going to be even more special.

We had a great time photographing and getting to know everyone!

A little preview of the holiday session we had with the Johansen family.

We photographed Jyoti and Ken’s gender reveal in September and now we are so happy that we got to see them again, for this holiday session.

They brought their puppies in their cute Christmas sweaters. They were a little hard to wrangle but we still manage to get some awesome pictures.

Another great holiday session with a wonderful family. We can’t wait till January when little baby Johansen is due!

Senior photo session | Zoie
Indian Creek Camp Park

As many of you know, senior portrait sessions are one of my favorite type of session and this lovely lady did not disappoint.

We had a great time laughing and carrying on throughout the session as Zoie tried to keep a straight face...lol

This gorgeous girl is a love to wrestle, and is an MMA fighter, when she’s not working or going to school.

We had a great time getting to know Zoie and talking about her plans for the future.

This girl is beautiful inside and out and we wish her all the best in the future!

Until next time:)

Samantha + Benjamin Engagement Session | Sandy Creek Covered Bridge + family farm

11/7/2020

Comments

Check out this engagement session preview starring
Samantha and Benjamin!

We started out at The Sandy Creek Covered Bridge in Hillsboro, Missouri. It was insanely crowded on this beautiful fall Saturday, so we just got a few photos and headed to our next location.

We had to follow Sam and Ben to the next location, the family farm, which was Sam’s grandfathers property. We are always so excited to go to a family farm, or any private venue. No cars, people, clutter, etc. to have to worry about.

We had a few things about the property that we love. Such as, the field with the trees in a perfect line, the retaining wall/gardening wall that Sam’s grandfather built. Such a unique structure and it’s so awesome that is still intact today. Lastly but not least, is the creek you have to cross to get to the property/farm. For being such a little creek, it sure ended up being a gorgeous picture!

We had an awesome time photographing and getting to know Samantha and Benjamin and we look forward to photographing and filming their wedding in November!

Fall Family Session | Medrano family at Dames Park

11/1/2020

Comments

This sweet little family session was shot at Dames Park in O'Fallon, MO on a very windy and sunny fall day. They did a fantastic job of making seem like they were not cold and about the fly away..lol

We loved getting the opportunity to see Anne and Sergio again! We have not seen them since their wedding in July of 2018! Since then they have added to their family.

We finally got to meet the sweet and shy little Giancarlo. Although he was not super "into" me yet, we were still able to get a few smiles from this little guy. He loves the sound and sight of a little bell (how we got most of our shots) and of course Mom and Dad.

We could not be happier for these two and this wonderful little family they have created together. We look forward to watching them continue to change and grow over the years.

Until next time,

Hi Sure Shot Fans! I'm Erica Dennis

I love the outdoors, movies, music (especially outdoor concerts), animals, photography, and of course video. Videography and photography are not only my hobbies but my passion. Every shoot is different which always makes for a great time. My husband and I work closely together to ensure that everything runs smooth. After working together for over 8 years, we have developed a great connection. My objective is to continue to grow our business, striving to always do our best for our clients with highest level of quality. I'm excited for our future and for what lies ahead.
