  Erika Dotson is not only a great photographer but an amazing person. She was absolutely the best person to deal with! She helped me so much in deciding what to do for my wedding, I texted her and called her for ten months to see what would look good for pictures and what would work for our families. My husband and I had never had pictures taken professionally before we met Erika and she made it so awesome and not awkward in the least bit. Recently I have been in 3 other weddings and that really made me realize how amazing she is. We sat down before the wedding and discussed shots I really wanted and what our families wanted. We made a time frame for our big day and she knew exactly what to say and do. Literally our day was absolutely perfect and I believe that without Erika we would have been lost.

  Erika is extremely professional and great at what she does! A week before the wedding, Erika had a slight accident and broke her elbow. Needless to say we were a little worried if she would still be able to cover our wedding. She not only covered our entire wedding day, but she did an awesome job too! She even got a second shooter free of charge. We loved her and so did our families!

  Erika Dotson was absolutely exceptional to work with, I couldn't have asked for a more talented photographer. She did our engagements, bridal, and wedding photos. She is genuine, caring and very professional. I am a very indecisive person, I told her it was completely up to her where she wanted to take the engagement and bridal portraits. She did an amazing job with choosing the perfect spots! She was so flexible and so patient with all my indecisiveness. She was 8 months pregnant during our engagement photos and photographed us for 3 hours, she was such a trooper! I was a little anxious about how the photographs were going to turn out, but when I recieved a preview of the photos the next morning my worries went away, they were positively gorgeous!!!
  
  Of course out of all the beautiful sunny weekends leading up to my wedding day there would be a torrential downpour on our day! The wedding coordinator was telling me that the wedding will probably be inside, but I insisted on having an outside wedding anyway. Erika told me rain or shine she would be right outside with me taking pictures. She was more than just a photographer that day, she was a caring friend who made me feel non-Bridezilla-ish for pressing on an outside wedding. With minutes to spare the rain stopped and we were able to have our outside wedding! I was impressed with how quick we were able to view and upload our photographs! Every photograph that she captured seemed like special moments! I highly recommend Erika Dotson to anyone who wants beautiful and timeless photographs ;)

  We have known Erika for a long time and couldn't picture anybody else as our photographer. We were so lucky that she had an opening on the day of our wedding because we had a pretty fast engagement. She was so helpful in planning out the dates of the shoot and went above and beyond for each photo session. Erika makes you feel comfortable and the images we got we will treasure forever! Thanks Erika for capturing our big day and giving us gorgeous pictures to remember it by.

  We were planning our wedding out of state so we found Ericka's website and immediately fell in love with her style of photography and the photos reflected the emotions of each event so perfectly you felt like you were there in person. We had several phone calls and plenty of emails with Ericka and she was always professional and responsive to all of our questions. She was such a joy to have at the wedding and our second photographer was too. They fit in well with the bridal party and our guests. Our photos came back and looking back on them I am amazed at how wonderful they all turned out. I cried as I looked back at our first look photos because the emotion on our faces were so real that I felt I was standing back there that day. We have had so many compliments on the photos and how beautiful everything turned out. There is nothing we would change about it and are so happy that we chose Ericka to capture our special day.

  Erika does a fantastic job! Her pictures are absolutely amazing. They capture "real" moments. She is very creative in that she finds ways to make you look your best and make pictures stand out. I will definitely use her again for any other occasions!

  Erika is an artist. She thinks and shoots completely outside of the box. I am the MOB (mother of the bride) and my daughter's wedding was June 5, 2011. The journey with Erika was more than I could have hoped for. Check out her website and you will see what I mean. One shot in particular came from the Engagement session. She balanced on a log and shot the most amazing picture of Ben and Jessica sitting on a dock yet captured a perfect reflection of them in the water. It is stunning. She sees light and background in a way that captures non "posed" pictures. I am so very thankful that my daughter chose Erika Dotson Photography....here I am 4 months later and I can still feel the moments through the pictures she captured. What a blessing!!!!
  
  Beyond her abililties, she is professional, and very easy to work with. She was always on time and did not even break a sweat when what we all thought was to be a normal "First Dance"....was a surprise choreographed hip hop dance. She calmly changed position and captured some amazing action shots!
  
  If you are looking for a photographer that shoots beyond the expected posed photos, Erika Dotson is your girl.

  Erika is simply amazing. She was so helpful, and really worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. We had some unexpected issues arise the week of the wedding, and some of our parents couldn't make it to the wedding. Erika took what could have been a sad wedding day and turned everything to cheer. She took beautiful photos that we will cherish for a lifetime, and we're able to share those with our family that couldn't make it and they can really see our 'story.' Thank you SO much to Erika. We would definitely recommend her to anyone!

  I had a great experience with Erika. The whole staff were so sweet and made sure we were comfortable. We took her assisstant at the time to Jamaica and she joined in the fun and my family loved having her with us. I would recommend Erika for a fun care free experience.

  Kezia Tunnel of Erikaliz Photography was amazing! We didn't meet Erika until the wedding day, but she was just as fabulous! The quality and style of the pictures produced from Erikaliz Photography are phenomenal. Kezia took a lot of time to make our pictures outstanding! We won an engagement session from them at a bridal fair, and I went into it thinking our pictures would be ordinary. I was totally wrong when we received them back! They were so incredible, we decided we had to have Kezia shoot our wedding! I am so glad we chose Erikaliz Photography, because our pictures were absolutely beautiful! I wouldn't recommend anyone else to do your wedding pictures! It has to be Erikaliz Photography!

  I had no worries on my wedding day! Everything was taken care of and Erika Liz Photography definately went beyond my expectations! They were usually available and if they didn't answer they would call back within 24 hours. I really appreciated having the two girls to contact with all my worries. They are very down to earth and able to handle everything we threw at them. It only took 2 weeks to get my pictures back and they said it would be at least 3!!!! They were amazing!!! If you want individualized pictures I recommend Erika Liz Photography for everything! THANKS!

  Amazing!!!! We are so thankful for everything Erika has done for us. She was so easy to work with and I could not be happier with our pictures! She really captured our special day and I'm so thrilled that we have so many pictures to choose from, I will be recommending her to all of our friends and family. We will definitely be using her in the future for family photos, celebrations, etc.
