About

I fell in love with telling a story through taking pictures. A picture is more than just an image, it captures the essence of a time, a place, a person. The beauty of telling a story in images is in the details, its in capturing the twinkle in your eye, or the way the sun lights your hair. For me, all of this translates into wedding photography. Capturing the love between two people on such a special day is telling a story full of its own details and charm. Wedding photography is the art of telling your story. I love being a part of your special day, I hope to make you feel comfortable, and I want you to have fun. Most of all I want you to have pictures that will make you glow every time you look at them for years to come.

Beautiful work and a beautiful person

I know this review isn’t necessarily about Erika personally however I have to say she is so incredibly professional and kind. She is easy to work with and her personality makes you feel comfortable immediately. Erika quickly became one of our closest friends and vendors through the wedding planning process. She is always 100% on it, she is responsive and makes time to talk and answer any questions you have. She is timely and a true professional, helping you through each pose and making sure to get all of those Must Have shots.

Now, onto the work! Her photography is stunning. The pictures were beautifully done and timeless. She made sure to capture the essence of the day and provided the pictures within the estimated time frame. They were organized and I would highly recommend having a second shooter because not a single important moment or shot was missed!! We had so so many favorites to choose from and looking through the pictures you can see and feel the energy of those moments.

I can’t say enough positives about Erika and her team. She is a necessity for your big day!!

Erika’s work is amazing!


Choosing Erika to photograph our wedding was the best decision we made in the entire wedding planning process. And that’s saying a lot because we chose to get married in beautiful St. Lucia!

We first met Erika when she shot our engagement photos on our sailboat, where she embraced the challenge of shooting while simultaneously managing our dinghy. That’s when we knew she would be perfect for the wedding.

Erika has an eye for landscapes unlike any other photographer we considered. The way in which she captured our wedding weekend, guests and the scenery of St. Lucia helps us to relive those precious moments every time we look at them. They are simply STUNNING. I feel like our wedding came straight out of the pages of a bridal magazine.

If you are having a destination wedding, Erika is particularly adept with international travel and navigating unfamiliar places and cultures. This is super helpful as you won’t have to worry about taking care of her - she’s got that covered. She comes with her game face on and works tirelessly to get all the shots to help you relive that magic. We are so grateful for her.

I could not imagine my wedding without Erika! First of all, we had a destination wedding to New Orleans so I was completely lost as to where to start to find a vendor. Photography was one of the more important items on our list and Erika more than exceeded our expectations! I also ended up using Erika's referrals for hair, makeup and flowers, all of which turned out great, so she was really a key part of making my dream wedding come true in so many ways! Erika spent time with me over the phone ahead of time to discuss planning and ideas for my big day. Her flexibility was something I appreciated most about working with her, as I tried to squeeze a lot into a single big day! Also, if it is important to you to have a photographer who pays attention to the little details that make a wedding day so special, Erika is the person you are looking for. She was so easy to work with, knew all the great spots around town to get wonderful photos, and captured such amazing shots! We were extremely happy with all of our photos and whenever we show our wedding pics to friends or family they always compliment the photographer! She really went above and beyond, we highly recommend her!

So, I used Erika for both my engagement photos and wedding day photos and I could not be happier with my photographer selection! To start, Erika is a very friendly, easy going person to work with. She was very prompt in all of her communication with me and presented all of her photography options to me in a very non-aggressive or pushy manner, which I really liked. As a bride a lot of people are trying to force their services on you and Erika simply sold me on her personality and also her work, which she allowed me to see before I even selected her. Her easy going personality made taking pictures very fun. She does a great job getting you to do things you would normally do with your special someone, and capturing those moments. My wedding day was no exception. She arrived plenty early so she was ready to go at the time I had selected to start photos and was so organized throughout the entire day. I actually really enjoyed taking photos with her. My groom is not a picture person either and even he enjoyed being in front of the camera and really liked having her as our photographer. And that's just her services! The photos were AMAZING! I have yet to see my wedding photos, but I am in LOVE with my engagement photos and I am sure my wedding photos will be just the same! She does amazing work and is so awesome to work with. I honestly can't say enough good things about Erika and would absolutely recommend her to any bride!

Erika is a joy to work with. She is so easy going and makes taking pictures on your wedding day a breeze and FUN. I just received my wedding photos back from her (in a VERY short period of time!) and they are STUNNING. She is so talented and wonderful!

Both Kev and I enjoyed working with Erika immensely. She is a wonderful photographer and very professional. She also gave us a lot of advice on how to enjoy our wedding and the planning process. She documented both our wedding in Malaysia and New Orleans and was able to photograph 2 distinctly different weddings with poise. I have a large family and she was able to manage the crowd and get crucial shots of family and friends that came out beautifully. She is very eagered to learn about various cultures and tailored her photography to highlight the cultural components of our weddings. I highly recommend her to all my friends and family. You will not be disappointed!

Erika was great to work with. In the beginning, she was easy to get a hold of and always answered my questions promptly (this was especially important to me, since New Orleans was a destination wedding for us). Her prices were very reasonable, and I feel like we got what we paid for. On the day, she was friendly, relaxed and had great insight as to what would make great photographs. We were really happy with the product, and we received our photographs promptly! I would definitely recommend Erika to other couples getting married in New Orleans!

Erika is a true professional! She managed the hustle and bustle of my wedding day so well and really tuned in to what I wanted captured. Plus, our second shooter, Samantha, was just as great! I was able to see a couple of sneak peak photos and WOW, can't wait to see the final product. I definitely would recommend!!
