Thoughtfully curated packages for intimate weddings and meaningful life moments
Designed to help you slow down and actually enjoy the experience of celebrating your love
“We felt that she went way above and beyond our expectations.”
From the first conversation to receiving the final photos, she was always well organized, paid high attention to detail, and most importantly fun to work with. We were told by many of our peers that the most important thing in a photographer is having someone you can count on, who has a great personality, and is fun to be around. (I mean, they are with you for pretty much the entire day on the biggest day of your life, lol). SHE TICKED ALL THE BOXES. We will definitely refer her services to our family and friends and hope to see her at more events. Do yourself a favor and stop shopping for wedding photographers now, call up Erika, and lock her in ASAP!

Someday years from now, as you flip through your photo book together - what do you hope the images will look and feel like?
Couples I work best with:
You care more about how your relationship feels than how it looks to others
1
I love working with couples who want photos that feel honest and “like us” because they value their relationship over appearances. Instead of only focusing on the aesthetics, I want to reflect how your connection and presence truly feels in real time. If you’re naturally affectionate, loving, and silly with each other, we’ll be a great fit!
This is also why I choose to focus on small weddings and elopements, and never treat your wedding day like it’s a photo shoot. I work best in spaces that feel intimate and intentional, where the day is experienced with meaning rather than feeling like a performance or big production.
You love candid and documentary photos more than editorial photos
2
While editorial photography has its own kind of magic, I’m drawn to capturing candid, authentic photos of you being in the moment. I’ll still offer gentle guidance to place you in the best lighting, beautiful backdrops, and suggest simple poses that are classic and timeless. But over-directing every movement, or interrupting a genuine moment for the sake of getting a photo with perfect composition and lighting is not my preference. I prefer to document how you naturally connect and spend quality time with your partner and loved ones.
If you’re specifically looking for highly posed, heavily retouched images like the ones you might see in Vogue or from luxury wedding photography, I’m not the right photographer. And that’s okay!
You want your photos to be preserved in photo books and prints
3
In a time where so much of our life exists digitally, there’s something deeply meaningful about having physical copies of your photos. Photo books and prints allow your memories to exist beyond social media feeds and hard drives by becoming something you can hold, flip through, and return to whenever you need a reminder of what it was like experiencing a big milestone with your partner.
That’s why I love putting a lot of thought and care behind the images I take for you. When you open your photo book years from now, I want you to feel the same warmth, joy, and closeness you felt in those moments. Your future selves deserve to relive something honest and meaningful — the whole point of celebrating your love together!
You value trust, emotional safety, and a calm presence in a person
4
Feeling safe and comfortable with the person documenting an important moment in your life, especially a wedding, matters deeply. I prioritize clear communication, a positive and cheerful attitude, and a calm, steady presence when things feel overwhelming or timelines get delayed. Adaptability and problem-solving are essential when stakes are high, while having empathy and emotional awareness are important so you can feel supported as a person, not just a client being photographed.
Because energy translates into photographs, my biggest priority is helping you feel confident in the connections you already share, and excited to immerse yourselves in the experience. The best photos happen when you forget the camera is even there and you can relax, trust the process, and simply enjoy your time together.

FAQs
-
If I chose a photo you didn’t like and want to see if there are better variations of it, I’m more than happy to share those.
If my edits end up not being what you’re looking for and want them re-edited by someone else, I can make the exception by selling them to you at an additional cost. Ideally I would love to just re-edit them better to your liking, but I care more that you’re happy with the final photos. Please let me know and we will work something out.
-
I don’t offer heavy retouching and editing. I can remove pimples and smooth out some skin texture, but nothing crazy. I can also remove distracting objects or people in the background. Anything beyond that like making yourself look “skinnier” or airbrushing your skin to look like a Vogue model is not something I can support - that’s not my style.
If you’d like to hire someone else for professional retouching, please ask for permission first so I can send you the RAW file.
-
Yes of course!! Even though I have ownership over the photos via our contract, I completely understand not wanting your photos to be shown on the internet for everyone to see. I’m more than happy to accommodate, no questions asked.
I’ve had a couple ask me not to use their photos because they broke up. You don’t need to over-explain yourself, just send me a DM or email and I’ll remove it right away! I can take all of them down or the select few you didn’t like/want to keep private.
If you see this before we work together and want to bring it up during our call, please do! You’re free to change your mind too, so don’t hesitate to communicate with me whenever you feel uncomfortable about it.
-
I’ve done 16 as the lead photographer for traditional weddings, 2 as the lead for elopements, and 3 as the 2nd shooter.
-
Yes! My favorite part about our first call together is that I get to learn more about who you two are and offer any ideas that come to mind that makes sense for the relationship you have with each other.
If you have no idea where to start, I’ll ask some simple questions like what your favorite memory of a date was, or explore any dream dates you always wanted to go on! From there we can start going through ideas together to see what works the best for you both.
-
It will be up for 1 year! However, I can’t guarantee I’ll have all the RAW images after 3 months of delivery. Please ask for additional photos, swaps, re-edits ASAP.
-
Of course! I’m more than happy to discuss a payment plan, everyone has different budgets and weddings especially are notorious for going over. I won’t charge any additional fees and we can spread them up to 3 months.
