At Bernie Elking Photography, couples get to keep the high-resolution files with copyright release no matter what their budget is. That's right, no matter which package you choose, you get to keep the files and print your images without having to come back to us after you have received the items that are included in your package.

We have been delivering outstanding photographs to literally thousands of satisfied couples in the St. Louis area as well as around the country for more than 26 years. Our studio has been recognized in The Knot's "Best Of" issues in 2007, 2008 and 2008/2009. With just the right combination of traditional, journalistic and illustrative coverage, our photographers capture candid moments and expressions as well as the details that couples put so much into during the planning process.

We use only high-end, professional digital equipment to capture the special moments of the day. This offers more flexibility when prepping photo selections and allows us to create beautiful coffee table-style books that are truly works of art the couples and their families will cherish for a lifetime.
