About

Lifestyle wedding photography for sentimental, free- spirited and natural couples that love celebrating outdoors. Camping has always been my church. The outdoors are my sanctuary. I believe in presence over presents. I believe in pushing boundaries, giving time is better than gifts and comfort over style. Let's grab a beer or coffee and get to know each other!

Amazing on mountain wedding with Erica

Erica did an amazing job capturing our on-mountain wedding. She was super creative with her shots and created beautiful wedding memories for us. Super talented and flexible, she truly helped shape our wedding.

I would highly recommend Erica as your engagement and wedding day photographer. From the moment we met her she was able to put us at ease around our photo shoot hesitations. Once we received our engagement session "sneak peeks" and gallery I knew we were in great hands! Erica has a real talent! She our us both at ease and working with us both to capture our events better than imaginable. I couldn't be more in love with the pictures that so accurately reflect our personalities, love and appreciation for each other and our guests!

A Dream to work with.

Erica was a dream to work with. Her gorgeous photos speak for themselves. She was flexible, fun, prompt and a great collaborator. She totally put us at ease as we tromped around the wilderness in our wedding clothes. She also listened to all of our ideas and was careful to get every single photo we could possibly think up. My wife and I were really impressed with how everything came out - mostly because we don't envision ourselves as photogenic. Still, Erica captured our best selves behind the lens. We would highly recommend Erica to anyone and we would absolutely book her again!

Amazing photos

I cant tell you how thankful I am we decided on Erica for our elopement in Bend. She was easy to talk to, responsive with emails and ideas for our day, and extremely quick to send us our gallery!
Before our big day, she asked all the right questions and made me feel 100% secure that all our photo needs would be met, all over email! On our wedding day, she was everywhere! Getting the perfect shots and giving us feedback. She was easy to trust and we were so happy to try all her fun photo ideas! After our big day, she was so quick with first looks and the whole set of hundreds of photos came within weeks of our day! I have so many favorite images from our day thanks to Erica!

Erica is so sweet! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera! I appreciated her so much on our wedding day— she got a great mix of candid photos, formal photos and detail shots! It is so apparent that Erica loves what she does because it shows in her work! We had a great time working with her and would absolutely recommend her for your wedding day.

We LOVED Erica. She was dedicated, flexible, and charming to work with. She was there whenever we needed her, and quietly in the background taking amazing photos when we didn't. Highly recommended!

Photography was the most important thing to me on my wedding day. I knew photos would be the only tangible piece of my wedding to have, years from now, and I wanted to make sure the day was well documented. Enter Erica. She was a delight to work with, and she completely understood my needs, desires, and concerns. She worked with them and around them, communicating with me so I had a clear wedding day timeline and knew what to expect day-of. I didn't have to think twice about her or her work, and the photos we received are STUNNING. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and by doing so she authentically captured us on one of the most important days of our lives. Organized, professional, creative, warm, and communicative—absolutely wonderful to work with!

Wonderful to work with and wonderful pics!

Erica was so wonderful to work with and her photos are absolutely GORGEOUS. We loved her positive and relaxed attitude, which matched our own. She helped us plan for all of the moments we wanted to capture and provided helpful tips for posing, while also giving us room to be ourselves. She captured so many lovely candid moments throughout the day that are so fun to relive and get to see everything that was happening. With all of the uncertainties and plans changing around covid, Erica was great at communicating and willing to work with us as plans developed. We're so glad she was available and are so happy with the photos. We highly recommend her for your wedding or event!

Erica was so friendly and fun to work with! We loved her energy and appreciated that she always gave just enough direction to feel comfortable but never so much that it didn’t feel natural. Love her work and hope we find an opportunity to work with her again in the future!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
