About

I am Erica, a natural light photographer that specializes in serving couples in love throughout Northern California and beyond.

While weddings can be so much fun to be a part of, there is so much more about wedding days that I truly care about.
I believe in love, marriage, and trusting relationships. I come from a family who's marriages go back hundreds of years and not a single failed marriage runs through my family tree. I was taught that if you want some thing to last you work hard at it and never give up. I love to work with couples who cherish marriage in the same manner as I do.

I'd love to be there on your special day to capture the love between you both. Please, allow me to document your memories for your future children and grandchildren to see, to look back on and be a reminder of what marriage is truly about. The flowers, dress and cake aside, a couple who cares more about getting to say "I do" is my kind of couple!

Amazing Husband and Wife Team!

We had an incredible experience working with Erica and Miguel for our wedding last year! They are so kind and professional, and immediately made us feel at ease with being in front of the camera. From our first conversation with them we knew we wanted them to photograph our wedding - and we are so glad they did! Erica was very communicative throughout the whole planning process and we always knew we were in good hands. The photos they took were stunning (both for our engagement photos and wedding photos) and we can't wait to look back at them through the years. Erica and Miguel are an amazing team and we cannot recommend them enough!

Erica is the absolute best!!

Erica was the absolute best!! I had reached out to her about 2 months prior to our city hall ceremony which is pretty last minute and she was able to accommodate our date and time. My fiance and I wanted someone to capture portraits at the beautiful San Francisco City Hall and Erica was able to capture all of our wonderful moments perfectly. This was our first time getting professional photos taken of us so we were nervous about what poses to do. She guides you in all of your poses so you don't have to worry about that part at all. She also captures some of your candid moments which are so great to look back on. She made the entire photoshoot so much fun! After we received our edited photo gallery, we were soooooo impressed by all of the photos. She has a light and airy feel to her editing which was exactly what I was looking for. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Erica.

If you're on the fence, I say bite the bullet and hire Erica! I 100% recommend Erica for all of your wedding photographer needs!! You won't be disappointed!

Phenomenal wedding photographers!

We are SO thankful that we chose Erica and Miguel to photograph our wedding! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable throughout the entire process and were such a calming presence amidst the chaos of the wedding. They are incredibly professional and take their jobs seriously, they went out of their way to scope out the engagement shoot location and the wedding location beforehand to ensure we got the best photos. They were also so patient with all of our questions (we had a lot!) and put us at ease during the photo sessions, which really helped me and my husband look more natural in our photos!

In addition to their wonderful personalities, their photographs of our wedding are absolutely stunning. We have already referred them to several friends with upcoming weddings and have received so many compliments on our photos. Thank you so much, Erica and Miguel, for capturing our special day!!!

Amazing Photographer !

Erica and Miguel are AMAZING ! We hired them for our engagement and wedding photos and we are incredibly happy with the pictures. We were not planning on doing an engagement shoot but are so happy we did because it gave us a chance to get to know them and get in front of the camera before the wedding. They are both very professional, nice and have a great sense of humor. I really wanted to hire a photographer that could take good still photos but also capture great candids. We could not be happier and highly recommend Erica and Miguel !

Amazing to work with, beautiful photos

We were so lucky to hire Erica (and Miguel) to be our wedding photographers. We originally booked with them back in 2019 for our Sept. 2020 wedding and had to reschedule due to COVID but Erica was amazing and so understanding throughout the whole process and we were able to move our booking to be for our new date in 2021 and we had them come photograph our small ceremony in 2020 as well. They are such a pleasure to work with from start to finish, so friendly and easy to talk with, and can make anyone feel at ease in front of the camera, even my husband who doesn't like having his picture taken. All of our pictures from engagement shoot, to small ceremony, to main event this year have turned out beautifully! I would recommend Erica to anyone looking for a photographer, I look forward to having more life events captured by her going forward!

Flexible, Warm & Welcoming, Extremely Talented, and Very Communicative!

We had our wedding this past June 2021 and we booked with Erica back in 2019 for our wedding that was supposed to occur in June 2020. Due to COVID, we had to postpone. During a time that was extremely emotional and unbelievably stressful, Erica provided flexibility along with a very warm and welcoming personality that kept my husband and I at ease. From our engagement shoot where she was incredibly creative and willing to travel/stay longer than we originally anticipated to get the perfect sunset photos to being communicative beyond the day of our wedding; Erica has been amazing! We plan on continuing to book with her for all our future family photo shoots and highly recommend her to anyone looking for more than just a wedding photographer but also a fun and friendly personality present on your wedding day. She always goes above and beyond to get the perfect shots that truly capture all the emotions, joy, and fun we are experiencing in those big moments of our lives.

Best Wedding Photography - Amazing Pictures!

I am so grateful to have met Erica and Miguel!  With less than 2 months to go, my now husband and I were looking for a photographer to capture our special day.  We are so glad that Erica was available! Due to the pandemic we had to scale down our wedding to a backyard celebration. I was a bit concerned about how the lighting and shadows from our fence and pergola would affect the pictures on the day, but Erica and Miguel assured me that they would work through it. On the day of the wedding, Erica and Miguel were super detailed and thorough, making sure they captured all the photos we had asked for. Being a team of two really helped because they were able to work through the tricky lighting to capture some really amazing pictures! They were so nice, easy going, and great to work with - a truly dynamic duo. Our pictures were not only beautiful, but they were able to capture the warmth, love and happiness of the day. Every time I look at my pictures, I feel as though I am reliving our special day! 
Erica and Miguel, we are so lucky to have worked with you and we are so incredibly grateful that you were there to capture our wedding. Thank you for our beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever!

Amazing experience

I could not recommend Erica and Miguel more! They were a pleasure to work with, from our initial correspondence, to meeting them on the day of our elopement. They were incredibly caring and helped us define exactly what is was we wanted covered for our low key occasion. They put everything they had into making sure they captured our day in a thoughtful & meaningful way. We cannot thank them enough for making our day so special and giving us such beautiful photos to share with family and friends. We will be forever grateful!

Amazing Photography and Experience!

Erica and Miguel (her husband and second shooter) are the best photographers we could have asked for to document our wedding and engagement shoot! For the engagement shoot, we felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout the shoot since Erica would provide prompts and made conversations during the shoot that it just felt like a day out with friends. We had our husky/shiba pup with us and did not feel rushed or frazzled since they are dog lovers!

Erica was also very accommodating and understanding during the chaos of rescheduling due to covid. A few days before the original date of our wedding, the Bay Area went into lockdown and we were forced to reschedule our wedding. We scrambled that day and Erica was very responsive and flexible in aiding us to make the reschedule happen within the day. Even as we had to reschedule a second time (both day and location) due to covid restrictions and venue availability, Erica was accommodating, supportive, and flexible throughout our constant communications and last minute changes. She even went to scout out the new venue quickly so as to help us draft a realistic wedding day photo timeline.

On the day of the wedding, Erica and Miguel made sure we were on time and still got all the pictures we wanted. They definitely felt like a part of our bridal party. In addition to photos throughout the wedding day, Erica was fluffing dresses/grabbing bouquets while Miguel was removing poop (from the park location we took first look photos at) to make sure we have the best photos and experience. As our wedding was outdoors, they also had extra no-flash lighting set up to help with the nighttime photos. All in all, Erica and Miguel are super personable, fun, and enjoyable to be with - we consider them as friends and would definitely use them again for any future professional photography needs. Highly recommend Erica!!
