About

Hello! My name is Erin Bathurst and I'm an Orange County wedding and brand photographer living the good life in Southern California! I am the primary photographer at each wedding and I am backed up by a team of talented and experienced photographers who assist and second shoot.

When I'm not behind the camera, I love to travel, cook, and ride my bike at the beach. I'm a total foodie and LOVE trying new foods. A good happy hour is the way to my heart, and I’m convinced that wine makes everything better.

I like to describe my style as fresh, bright, and airy and I love capturing the story of your big day in a way that is timeless and not over-processed with a photojournalistic approach. Give me beautiful light and good vibes and I am set to go!

Amazing wedding photographer!

You need to hire Erin as your wedding photographer! She was our dream wedding photographer and took the MOST beautiful photos for us!! There were happy tears in our eyes as we were looking through our entire wedding gallery. She made our wedding day feel like a magical movie and I love her editing style and how she really captured the memories that will last us a lifetime!! Erin herself is so sweet and calm and really makes you feel at ease during the stress of a wedding day. She also is amazing and coordinating family photos and making sure it’s done in a time efficient way. She really prioritizes getting the shots that you want on your day. We are so in love with all of our photos and cannot recommend her enough!!

Best photographer we could have ever asked for!!

Erin was AMAZING to work with. She did our engagement and wedding photos and they all turned out incredible. She made us feel SO comfortable taking all the photos and was great at wrangling our families for the larger family photos. We will definitely be using her in the future for more milestone event photos!!

Best wedding photographer!

I used Erin as my wedding photographer and I could not have made a better decision. Erin and I started out journey with a quick video call to get to know one another. She was very transparent and so easy to talk to! We quickly bonded and found out we live near one another and had a mutual friend! I chose a package that included engagement photos plus 8 hours of coverage for my big day and what a great investment. We had multiple planning sessions to go over timeline. She seamlessly worked with my coordinator and make up artists so that everyone was on the same page. Our initial photo spot post ceremony wasn't going to work and she quickly pivoted and found a stunning place to capture the magic of the day. At the end of it I would consider Erin a part of the family! I know that I will be reaching out to her again for all of our family milestones!!! Erin is one of the most down to earth person you will ever work with and she is just so genuine!

Erin and team were absolutely incredible. They made our wedding day so memorable and special - and they made us feel so special and comfortable throughout the day. We just got our photos back and they are absolutely incredible. Will be treasuring these for a long time!

MVP of our wedding day!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day! From the engagement photos to our special day, Erin was the MVP. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and kept us on track with our day of timeline. She streamlined our family portraits and made sure we finished with plenty of time for romantics. We brought our '69 Charger out on the tarmac for golden hour and I'm still not over how breathtaking they turned out. Her easy going, fun personality makes working with her even more special. Best choice you can make for your big day is hiring Erin!

Erin does an amazing job!!

Erin did an incredibly beautiful job capturing our wedding day. It was a bit challenging due to a little wind that kicked up, but she handled it so professionally and managed to get perfect shots. She's genuine, sweet, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She handled all details leading up to the day so professionally and timely, and even delivered our photos earlier then expected. We were so lucky to have her!

Absolutely STUNNING Photos!

If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further and hire Erin ASAP. Our wedding photos are STUNNING. Our friends and family cannot stop talking about them! She also did an engagement shoot for us earlier in the year, which was just as breathtaking. Erin does an amazing job capturing the perfect moments.

On top of that, Erin really made us feel at ease through the whole process. She gave really good direction and told us how to position our hands, faces and bodies for the best shots. I really appreciated how detail-oriented she was, making sure not a single hair was out of place! She also gave great advice on our shot list and schedule to make sure we made the best use of our time.

Lastly, she is just the sweetest person ever!

Wonderful, lovely photos

Working with Lovisaphoto was a smooth process from start to finish. Erin was prompt, professional, and personable. Her team was SO much fun to work with and made our day even better. They were creative with posing and finding stunning places to shoot. The pictures came out beautifully and their style felt fresh without appearing overly edited, which was the look I wanted. They have several very reasonable pricing options so you can get beautiful pictures whatever your budget may be. We were thrilled with the final product; they really captured the day perfectly and we will cherish the memories forever!

The BEST wedding photographer

Erin is amazing! My now husband found her to capture the proposal and I am so thankful that he did! We loved her so much that we used her for our mini-wedding in 2020 due to Covid and our big wedding this year! She takes beautiful photos and the lighting and composition are to die for! All of her photos are bright, happy, and classy. You can feel the happiness and love by looking at the photos. My bridesmaid said it best when she said that Erin makes normal things like a hotel wall or an ordinary table look perfect!

She is the sweetest person and makes everyone feel so comfortable and is so great at directing people on how to pose. My husband and I can get awkward posing for photos but she makes you feel right at home. At the wedding all of my family and friends kept commenting on how nice and friendly she was! She was able to capture every perfect moment of our wedding! Photos are something you do not want to skimp on. Her prices are reasonable for the quality you get! If she is available for your wedding date do not hesitate to book her because she will book up!

Erin exceeded my expectations in every way possible!

Erin is truly one of the most talented and genuine photographers you'll come across in the industry. From day one, I connected with her through a phone interview prior to hiring for our wedding. She was with me every step of the way through the pandemic, leading to a postponed wedding. She gave me a sense of calm and guided me through the difficult time, all the way up to the best day of my life. Any question I had through our year-and-a-half long engagement, she answered; and answered promptly. She even took it upon herself to add in our videographer for their input as well with wedding theme picture locations and such (especially since they've worked together before).
On the day of our wedding, Erin, and her team, came to our "getting ready" place (ahead of schedule I might add), and just took charge. They got all Wedding Details together (dress, heels, rings, perfume, invitation, hairpiece, etc.) and just starting doing their thing. They were great at staying hidden for those beautiful cameo photos and for the staged ones too as well. At the venue, they did the exact same. As long as you fill out the required materials she sends [well] ahead of time to help her move the day along, that's exactly what happens. We stayed on schedule and didn't fall behind because they knew exactly what they were doing.
The prints of the Wedding Album were stunning! She really has a knack for making the natural light compliment the person or thing in the photos. If you are looking for a professional who gives her all from the day of hire to the day you receive your album, look no further! Lovisa Photo is the absolute best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Lovisa Photo is such a talented dup to work with! I had the honor and pleasure to work with them at a recent wedding in March of 2012. They did a phenomenal job with keeping everything on time with the schedule we created and making sure to get all the shots the couple would want. The best thing for myself was seeing the photos after the wedding! They were able to have the photos finished in such a timely manner! I would definitely suggest Lovisa Photo and would hope to work with them again in the near future.

As a wedding coordinator, it's really important to find an amazing photographer who can capture every moment beautifully, while still working on a schedule. Dan and Erin are a phenomenal team who truly have a talent to portray the personalities of the couples they photograph through their images. I absolutely LOVE working with them!
