Denash - A St. Louis Photography blog

Studio news

After a "little" break in the blog action, were back. We're  in the process of moving into a new studio, so I'm sure things will be busy for the next few weeks. The studio, if everything works out, will be located along Historic Antique Row" on Cherokee, near Missouri Street.

We'll be about a block from the Mississippi Mud House, YUM. The new studio should add a little convience for  our high school senior and other portrait work.

If you haven't been there before, come down for the 8th Annual Cherokee-Lemp History Fair on Sat. May 19 & Sun. May 20 2007. We'll be shooting a wedding on Saturday but we're hoping to make it down on Sunday.

The Ceremony took place at Trinity Lutheran, our favorite church and we can't forget to mention - The St. Louis Cardinals are the World Champions!

Rev. David Marth - Simply the best, by the way, - The St. Louis Cardinals are the World Champions!

Sisters Flowers - Beautiful

Wedding Party - what a great bunch!

And the best part - Liz and Dennis!  Congrats!

Vincent and Shayla

October 21, 2006

Vincent and Shayla's ceremony was held on what had to be the most beautiful day in October. The sky was painted blue with perfect clouds and I couldn't wish it upon a better couple. Vincent and Shayla are why we do what we do. From the first meeting, to an engagement session that took place on one of the hottest days in St. Louis, to the ceremony at the Jewel Box and reception at Windows off Washington, Vincent and Shayla were great. There's a whole lotta love going on here.

Ian and Amy - The Falls

September 29, 2006

Shooting posed photography in the dark is always a challenge but we loved working with Ian and Amy. The ceremony was located at The Falls in Columbia, IL. The staff at The Falls is always super helpful and some of the friendliest vendors that we've ever worked with. It's been a year since we shot there and it was great, at usual. The ceremony was beautiful and the bridal party was a blast. 

Congrats Ian and Amy!

Scott and Tania - Sept. 23, 2006

September 23 - A perfect date for making memories.

The weather wasn't exactly predictable but these two doctors seem to be able to conquer just about anything. A wedding on our own aniversary Sept 23rd, with 11 bridesmaids and 11 groomsmen + Chris, an outdoor wedding, and a forecast for rain,  turned out to be an multi-cultural celebration like none we've had before.

This wedding shook the Piper Palm house like we've never seen. All the vendors at this one put as much effort as we've ever seen to make sure Scott and Tania had a great time. We want to send out a special thanks to Danielle, from St. Louis Wedding Design, for all her hard work, along with the staff at Piper Palm, and the caterers - The Butler's Pantry.  Karan "DJ N2DEEP" Pujji is the one responsible for the dancefloor insanity as seen below. He did an awesome job!

Back in to it

Back into the swing of things...

After a nice couple trips, Vegas and California, we're shooting till mid November every weekend and some Friday and Saturdays. We started of the second half of our season with Ryan and Jennifer this past weekend. We'll wrap the season up with a much needed trip to Chicago in late November. 

My first time in Old Town Florrisant. The ceremony was held at Sacred Heart Church - Beautiful!

Congrats! Ryan and Jennifer  

Steve & Carrie - June 17, 2006

10 Bridesmaids + 10 Groomsmen = That's Entertainment!

That's enough to make any photographer a little nervous, but the day went great with the exception of a small monsoon that blew through downtown as we prepared to head to the arch grounds. Trolleys and monsoons don't mix.

The day started at Trinity Lutheran - One of our very favorite churches - Almost a year ago, Trishia and I tied our own knot at Trinity Lutheran in Soulard. Reverend David Marth does an absolutely awesome job with weddings. From the most organized rehearsals to the ceremony, Reverend Marth gives every wedding a personal touch that I won't try to explain. He's a great person, not just an officiate. 

I hope they like their panoramic shot from the balcony, it's actually two shots from my Mark II and spliced together. That was a total of 23 people at the front.

I think it safe to say Carrie has a pretty big background in singing, acting, and performing in front of large crowds but I think she was a little surprised, when during the ceremony, Reverend Marth mentioned he was at a recent cardinals game, and suprised, when they announce that the National Anthem was being sung by Carrie Wanos.

The reception was at the New JA, previously known as The Jefferson Arms. The Boulevard Room is a great reception site. Chris Locsin is running things in the Boulevard Room and stayed on top of things all evening. It's nice to see someone capable of managing a room that size and still be so attentative to everyone's needs.

While reviewing the cake cutting shots, I noticed I captured Chris in the background watching the couple, with the biggest smile on his face. It's great when all this happens, and we still have time to smile, enjoy and celebrate what the whole day is about.

I think I wrap this one up with one of the many pictures of fun on the dance floor.

Congrats Steve and Carrie!
