About

Hello! I'm Erich!

I love animals of all kinds, being a plant parent, traveling, connecting with people, and sharing stories. And of course I love photography, especially wedding photography! I've been fortunate to have been in the wedding industry since 2005 and I still am passion about what I do! I've met hundreds of couples and shot hundreds of weddings, and still with each couple I do my best in creating visual stories that are unique to each couple.

I do that because I consider myself to be a "creative lifestyle" photographer. That means if you love In-n-out like I do, I want that to be part of your story, I want to photograph you and your partner at In-n-Out! If you love being at home with your partner, let's photograph you being at home with your partner enjoying each others company (whether that means eating ice cream on the couch together or cooking together)!

During the wedding day I photograph photo-journalistically. That means I'm looking out for those precious moments during the first dance, first look, toasts, vows etc. I'll also be there to guide you through the whole process of posing in the most natural and relaxed way possible.

Please reach out and say hello! When we talk I'm going to ask you about your wedding, what your interests are, and maybe even what your favorite food is!

Hire Erich!

Go with Erich, I promise you won't regret it.

When you work with him you can tell he has so much experience because he asks you silly, random prompts to elicit the most honest, pure reactions. My husband and I did our engagement shoot with him and were soooo pleased with the results. We, admittedly, are pretty awkward in front of cameras but Erich made us feel so comfortable.

We just got our wedding photos and our jaws dropped. We had a sense of overwhelming joy, nostalgia, and a little bit of sadness because the day passed by so quickly. We'll have these photos to cherish forever. I can't thank Erich enough for what he's done for us!!

I have a mini gallery in my dining room of Erich's photography and artwork - we are huge fans of him, through and through.

100% Recommend! Erich was the best!

Right off the bat 11/10 would recommend Erich to be your photographer. Don’t even hesitate, just do it.

We were looking for a wedding photographer and we discovered Erich through our day-of coordination from Ah, Love Events (Helen Hong). What was important to me in our vendor selection was how well I *clicked* with each vendor. From Erich and I’s first video call, you could tell that he knew his craft, was very professional, and genuinely wanted to capture our special day the way we saw it.

Throughout our time together, Erich was timely in responses to our questions, receptive to our feedback, and helped two very camera-awkward people capture some amazing moments.

We had the lucky experience of shooting our engagement photos in Tokyo! Here we both got a feel of how photo+couple worked as a unit (I will always recommend the engagement shoot with your photographer. It’s worth the money to get a preview of how your wedding will be). I personally have a hard time with the thought of being as a direct photo subject. Erich’s direction style is a mix of how-to pose (which is what we desperately needed) and conversation prompts to capture our genuine expressions (which is what was most imps to me - big ugly smiles). By the end of the night I was much more comfortable and kept telling

We had such a fun time doing a nighttime shoot and will now forever have photos to commemorate such a special trip for us. Bonus - we used a bunch of those photos as decorations around our wedding!

On our actual wedding day, it rained and we had to pivot last minute to our rain plan. Erich and his second shooter Jackie were incredible, both standing the rain as the rest of us stayed dry under the awning for wedding party photos. Throughout the night, they were calm, professional, and honestly I didn’t even notice them around after we were done with formal photos (In the best way possible!). They were blended seamlessly in the crowd capturing all the little moments that were so impt to me. When we got our previews the next morning (and so early in the morning too!) I literally was tearing up at how much I loved them already. Our friends and families are obsessed with the previews and we cannot wait till our full collection is finished! 



We look forward to working with Erich in the future to capture our next big moments!

The Best Engagement Photography Experience!

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Erich for our engagement pictures and we cannot speak highly enough of the experience. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, understanding our personalities and what makes our relationship unique. This personal approach translated into photographs that truly reflect who we are as individuals and as a couple. He has a remarkable ability to capture genuine emotion and connection, resulting in images that feel authentic and timeless.

On the day of our engagement shoot, Erich created a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera. His warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease, and it felt like we were simply spending time with a friend who happened to be taking beautiful photos along the way.

Our pictures came out amazing! They beautifully encapsulate the excitement and happiness of this special time in our lives. We also loved his play with lighting and lines which made for some truly stunning photos.

If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the love and joy of your relationship, look no further than Erich Chen!
