ABOUT LUNU PHOTOGRAPHY
An Artist’s Eye
ST. LOUIS WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
TANYA KANO
Some moments need a gentle nudge. Others are better left to unfold.
For me that way of seeing started early. I once came across a box of old family photographs. My grandmother in full 1970s glam. My great-grandmother’s studio portrait from the 1940s, taken in Austria.
MEET
What stayed with me wasn’t the styling or the era, but the feeling it carried. The warmth in their eyes. And a presence you could feel through the photograph. It stayed with me in a way I didn’t expect.
It became the reference point for how I photograph people today.
I photograph with the understanding that your cherished relationships will become your most beloved memories.
CREATIVE FOUNDATION
I approach each wedding as a visual narrative of its own. The work follows the relationship rather than a formula, resulting in photographs that feel personal and specific to the people involved.
I take a measured approach to every image. Nothing gets pushed too far or overworked. The result feels polished without losing what made the moment special.
CREATIVITY
You should feel genuinely excited when you see your photos. This is why I won’t move on until an image feels right. And I’ll give each one the attention it deserves
When I promise you something, consider it handled. I stay on top of communication and timelines so nothing falls behind. And you never have to track, remind, or worry.

The Heart Behind
Lunu Photography
Lunu is named after my kids. Their baby nicknames, Lulu and Nunu, became the name behind my work.
THE NAME
Watching my kids grow has taught me how fleeting the small details are. Photography became my way of holding onto what would otherwise slip by.
THE INSPIRATION
I admire classic films for the elegance in every scene. The language, the wardrobe, and the deliberate cinematography.
THE CLASSIC INFLUENCE
Painting was my first creative language. Studying it taught me to slow down and really see what was in front of me. That way of looking stayed with me and continues to shape how I photograph.
THE CREATIVE START
ASHLEY
She was very accommodating, patient, and made us all feel very comfortable and relaxed.
“Tanya captured precious moments for us that we’ll cherish forever!”
