About

Hi! I am Dana Tate, a St. Louis based wedding and portrait photographer.

Your wedding is a unique reflection of you.

That’s why I love getting to know you personally — so I can tell your story beautifully. Sharing all your wedding dreams and details helps me create authentic, meaningful images that reflect the true you. Your unguarded moments. Your natural emotions. All the cherished images of your very special day.

My shooting style is quietly unobtrusive.

My images naturally reveal the expressions of love and commitment that you both share. This is my passion. The heart of what I do. And it shines through in every image. Your wedding day will be filled with extraordinary moments — intimate, surprising and joyous. Those fleeting moments, captured creatively, are the timeless visual heirlooms that will instantly bring you back to the essence of your wedding day.

Let me tell your love story.

The best of the best!! Anyone who is getting married needs to pick Dana as your wedding photographer! You will not be disappointed! There are truly not enough words to express how pleased we are and how truly blessed we are to have had Dana as our wedding photographer. She did our engagement session which was wonderful and our pictures are phenomenal. Coming from someone who recently got married, your photographer is by your side through your whole day. Your photographer is the person that makes your special day run smoothly, make decisions that you don't need to make on your wedding day, keeps you calm, and creates the memories you will display on your wall and in books for years to come. Dana is truly a gift! She made my wedding day run so smooth. Here is one of many examples: right before our first look, my husband had misplaced his letter he wrote to me-so there was some hustle and bustle going on-but I had no idea it every happened until on our honeymoon when he told me. We were also racing a storm on our wedding day, but Dana still worked in all of our photos that we wanted plus some-and kept us safe lol. Our photos turned out fantastic and no one would even know that there was a storm happening unless you were there. Dana is so fun to be around, so sweet, and so professional. She even put my vale and floral hairpiece in for me. So not only was Dana an incredible part of our wedding day as a person, but our wedding pictures are INCREDIBLE! So many people told us how wonderful Dana was and how awesome our pictures turn out. Dana, thank you, thank you, thank you for all that you did and are still doing for Thomas and I!!!

Dana was truly wonderful! She has such a sweet personality that it makes working with her truly a joy. She is also wonderful at organizing sometimes "rowdy" wedding party members which is really important when you need to get pictures done pretty quickly. The photobooth that we rented from her was also the hit of the whole reception! The props provided are A LOT of fun. I 100% recommend Dana Tate to any and every bride looking for a photographer!!! Our wedding pictures turned out SO GORGEOUS! I can't even decide which ones to order.

I really stressed about finding the right photographer for our wedding because they are a big part of the budget and because other than the memories, the photos are what you have left at the end of the day after your wedding. Had I known how amazing Dana was going to be, I would have stressed way less, and maybe not at all! First of all, Dana must be one of the most kind, lighthearted, fun people I have ever met. She instantly makes you feel comfortable and puts you in a good mood. Second, it is very apparent that she wants to get to know you and wants to make you feel like your wedding is the most special wedding she has ever photographed. Third, our entire wedding party loved her! And you don't really think about this when you are wedding planning (or at least I didn't), but you spend a significant amount of time with your photographer and it is really important that you like her... and it is really great when your wedding party enjoys her as well. Dana totally saved the day when one of my bridesmaids disliked her hairdo and was trying to redo it. Dana politely asked me if I would excuse her for 15 minutes, and in those 15 minutes, she redid my bridesmaid hair and created a beautiful up do that she LOVED... it was awesome!... and then she was right back to taking pictures :) Fourth, we are just now starting to go through all of the pictures that she took (there are TONS of them) and we are having a hard time because we love SO many of the them! Fifth, Dana is so professional and is always available and responds quickly to emails and phone calls. As an out of state bride, that was EXTREMELY helpful to me and made my wedding planning process at lot easier. I will definitely be recommending Dana Tate to all of my friends and family who are looking for a wedding photographer
