Being fully present in each moment and enjoying the heck out of your wedding day, each other, and your loved ones is what your wedding day is all about! I'm here to make sure this process is seamless and stress-free! After you inquire, we'll set up a time to connect so can really get to know you, your story, and your vision for your big day! Then I pull together a customized collection that is specifically tailored to your needs. 

You've signed your contract and paid your $1,000 retainer, so now the real FUN begins! I'll send you my 90 page bridal guide in the mail that will help with ideas for your engagement session as well as answer questions you didn't even know you had! I've been told by past brides that I should sell this, but this guide is EXCLUSIVE to Erika Rene couples only! I'm here to offer as much help as you'd like during the planning process. We'll talk timeline, family formals, shot list, special traditions, and anything else that will bring your vision to life on your big day!

The engagement session is one of the most crucial parts of our time together as it helps us to truly get to know each other as well as enabling you to get comfortable in front of the camera. No worries if you feel awkward- I promise you can't do this wrong! I'll guide you the whole way and promise we'll have a ton of fun together! (These sessions have been known to run an hour over time because of the connection I develop with my couples...don't worry- I'm not charging you for extra time!

The big day is here and I couldn't be more excited! Just relax, soak every moment in, know that I'm here to serve and support you and that I will do everything humanly possible to give you the best experience and best photos ever! I can't promise not to cry though! I've never photographed a wedding without crying at some point because I'm just so happy for you all!

Within a month of your wedding, we'll schedule an image reveal party- at my office for those within driving distance of St. Louis, and over zoom for couples not local to St. Louis. Feel free to bring anyone who wants to relive the experience of your wedding day through your photos! We'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll design your album, and I will personally deliver it to you when it comes in!
