Hey I’m Erika, a portrait and documentary photographer with a fresh artistic style. Always original and a little unconventional, I have an accommodating artistic approach that is all about making it easy for you to be yourself, documenting your love story in a warm natural way that feels nothing short of authentic. My craft focuses on capturing your legacy through the warmth of friends and family, timeless and artistic portraits, and wildly unforgettable moments. Let’s preserve the memory and make it tangible
We’ve got a lot in common, you and I. We both have an unyielding passion to tell a story of genuine love and beauty. We are lovers of art and seek to remember the world a bit more beautiful than we found it—whether that’s telling the story of a once-in-a-lifetime wedding day, or creating a canvas of beautiful portraiture that will capture your beauty for decades to come.
The emotions are real in that moment. Its a once in a lifetime kiss. Its once in a lifetime dance. The reels, the hugs, the toasts, the beauty, and the tears. These moments are fleeting and precious – like grandpa crying during the ceremony or the look of overflowing pride on dad’s face during the father daughter dance.
I am humbled to have the opportunity to share in your most important moments and document the legacy of your family. If my works vibes with you then I am all in !
I started my career as an IT Project Manager taking roles at multiple fortune 500 companies.
With a Master’s degree and a curated resume, I found myself at the top of my profession by the age of twenty seven.
After the birth of my second child, my husband gifted me an intro DSLR . It was at this point that I found my true passion. A few years later, I would make the unlikely choice to trade in my laptop for a camera indefinitely.
In 2016 my l
ove of a portraiture would find a new place in bridal beauty and wedding canvases. My skills in corporate projects would yield to intricate details of wedding planning and coordination. That was 10 years (and a 100 weddings) ago. Today, I am still in love with what I do. Every wedding . Every Day.
It’s really important to me that the process of documenting the day feels effortless to the bride and groom. I scout locations and master the schedule so that I come into the wedding weekend completely prepared.
Be a bride on your wedding day! Do all the planning beforehand. Hire people you trust; then on the day, trust the people you have selected.. The combined wisdom of your planner, florist, caterer, and photographer will often add up to more than 1,000 weddings so just let it go. A relaxed bride and groom who are in the moment provides not only the best experience for you but also the best photos for us.
I combine authentic moments with artistic and dramatic portraiture. Artistic, ethereal, and timeless. I study photography that mimics fine art and I love portraiture that looks like a dream. My style captures the real and candid moments of the day and artistic interpretation of the beauty and love of the couple and eternally preserves it.
My approach to wedding photography is all about capturing the essence of your love story in a way that feels authentic and true to you. I believe in a balanced approach that combines classic, photojournalistic, and artistic styles to create a wedding album as unique as your love. We'll capture those timeless, posed moments like family formals and romantic portraits, preserving the memories you'll cherish forever. But it's the in-between moments, the candid laughter, the stolen glances, and the happy tears that truly tell the story of your day. I'll be there to document those genuine emotions as they unfold naturally, creating a visual narrative that captures the magic of your wedding. And for a touch of artistry, we'll create stunning, frame-worthy portraits that blend fashion and fine art, capturing your love in a way that is both timeless and captivating. If you're looking for an extra opportunity to create some truly artistic images, we can even schedule a post-wedding session.
Your wedding day is a celebration of love, not just between the two of you, but also the love of your families and friends. I love capturing the warmth and connection between family members – the shared laughter, the heartfelt hugs, the joyful tears. These are the moments that truly define your legacy, and I'm dedicated to preserving them in beautiful, authentic images that you'll treasure for generations. Whether it's a stolen moment between siblings, a tender embrace between a parent and child, or the joyous energy of everyone celebrating on the dance floor, I'll be there to document the love and connection that makes your family unique.
Every wedding day is filled with beauty, from the intricate details of your dress to the stunning backdrop of your venue. I have a keen eye for capturing these aesthetic moments in a way that is both artistic and timeless. Whether it's the delicate lace on your veil, the vibrant colors of your bouquet, or the golden light of the setting sun, I'll find the beauty in every detail and preserve it in stunning photographs. My goal is to create images that not only capture the beauty of your wedding day but also evoke the emotions and memories associated with those moments.
