Recommend Erika as your wedding photographer

My husband and I celebrated our wedding in Long Island in September this year and we hired Erika as our photographer for the whole day event. We are very satisfied with the photos she took as well as the services she provided during and after the event, which were important in making our special day a great success. 

We first posted an ad on Craigslist and got over two dozen replies in the next couple of days. Among the replies, Erika's portfolio immediately stood out as one of the top three. She had quite a bit of experience in shooting weddings and family-related occasions. Her captures were natural and sharp, with excellent control of light and composition, she was exactly what we were looking for.  Later during the interview, Erika was professional, punctual and attentive. She readily offered to help with a few logistics tasks during the event and surprised us by offering a photo album service to memorialize our day. Because of all the above reasons, we chose her as our photographer on the spot. 

On the day of the event, Erika was on her feet all the time proactively searching for the best angle and lighting for the photos for each person and the whole group. Everybody liked to talk with her and smiled in front of her camera. She scouted the best location for our group picture and kept shooting until she got a good image. We were very comfortable handing this big task to her and had full trust in her approach and expertise.  

Everyone was impressed by her work. She caught so many wonderful moments for me and my husband, which we were not even aware of and were an absolute surprise! The shots we posed for were also sweet and natural. We were very satisfied with the photos with our family and friends.

Erika also produced high-quality prints and photo albums at reasonable prices, which saved us a lot of post-shooting efforts for the photos. Over a dozen prints and a large album were handed over to us punctually, with great care and we like the layout and the quality of the album very much. 

We strongly recommend Erika for photography. She definitely performed beyond our expectations and we wish her a great, bright future as a photographer!

Very responsive and easy to work with

Erika was a great photographer for our wedding. She was very easy to communicate with and had answers for all of our questions. She was with us all day from 11am-8pm and I have no clue where she got all her energy from but she was great!

Absolutely incredible! Amazing photos, dedicated professional

I honestly can't say enough about Cuacuas Photography. Erika was beyond professional, willing to go the extra mile at every turn and came out with such BEAUTIFUL photos not even a week later! Three hundred photos, edited and emailed to me within a week for an affordable price. She completely saved me when I realized I'd forgotten to book a photographer and I couldn't be more grateful for all of her hard work. Erika even dealt with my absolutely insane family, which is no easy task.
