Haley and Shawn,

I am so happy that your inquiry has come my way. I know that picking a wedding photographer can be a bit overwhelming, but I want you to know that with me, you can be confident in your choice.

After 9 years of photographing weddings, my style of photography has become the perfect blend of candid while also creating beautiful portraits that will last for generations. My goal for each wedding is...

I hope that this is just the start of a beautiful relationship. 💕

I know that the last thing you want to do is spend hours taking photos. I make taking photos quick and easy.

You deserve to spend your wedding day with those you love most!

My approach to photographing weddings is to be photo journalistic/documentary during the documentary times and flip into portrait photographer mode and guide you during the portrait times of the day when you need direction.

authentic style

If the day gets behind, I work quickly and efficiently to get us back on schedule, yet still maintaining the highest of standards. I instinctively rely on my intuition to make quick decisions as unexpected events unfold. To you those moments might seem like chaos, but my calm response will reassure you that everything is ok.

smooth process

From periodic email check-ins that answer questions you might have to creating your family portrait shot list and working with your planner to build your timeline, I prepare myself as much as possible BEFORE your wedding day so that when the day comes, I arrive ready to capture every detail.

"We loved your fun, easy energy and how you directed us and everyone around us to get all the photos we wanted and in the amount of time we had to get them done. It was very easy and you can see that in the photos."
~ Bethany and Kyle

I'm sure you are nervous about if you are choosing the right photographer for your wedding day, but I want you to know that with me, you can feel 100% confident in your choice. I want nothing more than for you to enjoy your wedding day and I know your experience behind my camera is a huge portion of that. With me, you can feel at ease and confident knowing that you are in safe and experienced hands.

Hi, I'm Erika!

I know wedding planning can get overwhelming and that you'll have a lot of things you're unsure of. I know what it takes to leave your wedding day with the best photos possible.

I am here to answer any questions you may have and to help guide you along the way.

I'm Here for You

Things don't always go according to plan and because I have photographed hundreds of weddings, I instinctively rely on my intuition to make quick decisions as unexpected events unfold. My calm confidence in those situations will reassure you that everything is under control.

If the day gets behind, I work quickly and efficiently to get us back on schedule, yet still maintaining the highest of standards.

Relying on Experience

Many of my couples have told me that they are awkward in front of the camera or that they are nervous about having their photos taken, but I'll have you flowing from one photo to the next so that you are never left wondering what to do.

You will leave your session remembering that being in front of my camera was actually a lot of fun and that you felt comfortable through the entire process.

Easy + Comfortable

I prepare myself as much as possible before your wedding day through a series of questionnaires about your day and your vendors so that I can work hand in hand with your planner to come up with a well written timeline and an efficient family shot list that will help me get the photos you want in the quickest time possible. My number one goal is for you to enjoy your wedding day with your friends and family.

Systems + Preparation

During documentary times of the day, I blend seamlessly into whatever situation I am in, walking around catching interactions and moments as they happen, but making suggestions when you need them.

During portrait parts of the day, I guide you through photos efficiently and quickly with my system of shooting that I have developed from 8 years of photographing weddings.

Portrait-journalistic Style

"I felt comfortable immediately and knew I would be well taken care of.

Since wedding photography is an active part of the wedding day, it was important to me that our photographer was approachable. You made us feel at ease, supported, and encouraged."

When you're ready to move forward, I'll send an agreement and a link to pay your 30% retainer fee. After both of those are completed, you're booked!
