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!

Erich is the best!
Erich did an incredible job with our engagement and wedding photoshoots. He made it fun for us and it felt like we were just laughing and hanging out with a long time friend, and the pictures came out amazing because of that energy too. He also really knows the best places to get great pictures in LA and is also open to any of our ideas and finds a way to make them work and look good.
Would highly recommend Erich to anyone and we are planning to ask him to do all of our family photoshoots in the future!

Amazing photos and such a smooth experience!
Our experience with Erich has been amazing. He did our engagement shoot and our wedding, and he was everything we could have hoped for and more. He was so good at eliciting and capturing genuine emotions and moments. The engagement shoot was so fun! And I was amazed by the intimate, fun, and action moments he captured at the wedding. He has an amazing eye! Highly recommend!!!

Best decision you'll make!
I forgot how I came across Erich's website, but we were extremely fortunate to hire him as one of our first wedding vendors. He worked with us on the engagement shoot, our tea ceremony, and wedding day -- all the photos turned out remarkable. It was important to us that Erich was aware of our outfit choices and details along the way. They are images we will remember for the rest of our lives! In particular, we love how the candid shots really captured precious moments of interaction and particularly the smiles among family and friends.
Erich's technical sensibility was impressive and he knew how we should pose. Since we are similar in height and size, Erich knew what to do. Everything felt right and we felt comfortable. Though we got tired towards the end of each session, he was always there to keep our energy up and the photos do a remarkable job of showing his ability to capture a feeling. He knew how we should be framed and some of the best photos he captured were ones we felt awkward posing in but we never doubted the vision!
He also came with referrals for a videographer, which we were so lucky to have found through his help. They made a great team and worked well together.

Amazing Photographer
Words can't describe how positive our experience was working with Erich and his team for our wedding. All the photos were extremely well taken. Everyone always told me that their wedding day goes by so fast, and they were NOT lying. Going through all the photos, I felt like I was reliving moments that I knew I probably missed because your girl had to go to the restroom a million times. LOL
Aside from the photos itself, Erich and his team were so accommodating on all our requests. I know we were a bit delayed, but Erich made sure we stayed on time AND got all the photos we wanted. He was extremely communicative and professional before the big day as well. He had an extensive questionnaire to make sure he doesn't miss a beat on what the couple wants.
I seriously cannot recommend Erich and his team enough - we'll definitely be booking him again and again for our future family portraits and any other photography needs.

Perfect Photographer for Our Wedding Day!
We couldn't be happier with Erich as our wedding photographer! From start to finish, he was incredibly helpful, funny, and personable, making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera. His warm, professional demeanor helped capture the joy of our day perfectly. The photos are beyond beautiful; he captured the essence of our wedding through genuine smiles and candid moments that truly reflect the happiness and fun we felt. Erich's skill in capturing these emotions brought our memories to life, and we're so grateful for his talent and kindness in helping make our day unforgettable. Highly recommend!

We are forever grateful for Erich - 12/10 recommend!!!
Erich was the most amazing photographer we could have ever asked for!!! We had worked with Erich as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. His has this amazing quality of making you feel comfortable especially if you haven't had much experience doing photoshoots. He puts in an effort to get to know who he's photographing, asks fun questions, and makes you laugh. On our big day, he was so thoughtful, patient, and efficient - he scoped out the venue, found great spots to shoot, made sure we were on our timeline, and was able to effortlessly organize group photos. He captured everything we wanted for our big day and so much more, and we are forever grateful. Highly recommend!!!

Hire Erich!
Erich is incredibly talented. Great eye, beautiful retouching, friendly and easy to work with, and knows how to get everyone comfortable in front of the camera. We received so many gorgeous photos from our reasonably modest backyard wedding and he captured not only the big moments (coming down the aisle, first kiss, recessional, cake cutting, etc), but also amazing candid shots of us getting ready and our guests at the reception. I was also worried that Erich had to work around some challenging direct sunlight, but it was not an issue for him at all. I highly recommend Erich!!!

Amazing! Gorgeous! Fun! Yay!
I really can't find the right words to describe how incredible our experience was working with Erich as our photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. He's not only a pro with years of experience (and it shows in the quality of his work) but also delightful and fun to work with.
Highly recommend doing an engagement session with him first, so by the time your wedding comes around you're practically best friends. Who text each other about the Clippers. True story.
Honestly, for whatever your photography needs are, he is your guy. He will make sure you are taken care of, look good and enjoy yourself. He'll help you pick out outfits, knows how to get the right lighting at golden hour and can make your decision of picking a high traffic, under construction intersection photo location in Inglewood look AH-MAZING. Also true story.
I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with him. So if you're looking into booking him, just DO IT!
