Welcome to Picturist Photography, your artistic wedding photography specialist. I'm Danieka Erasmus, operating out of Santa Cruz and extending my services to the magnificent Monterey Bay and beyond. I'm dedicated to transforming your genuine moments into timeless pieces of art.
With roots in South Africa and an artistic awakening in Amsterdam's vibrant art scene, my approach to wedding photography is a unique fusion of photojournalism and fine art. I strive to capture the authentic moments that narrate your love story, and beautifully complement them with the natural landscapes of California. My expertise lies in manipulating natural light and my love for nature, ensuring your photos are as exquisite as they are heartfelt.
From planning a simple beach elopement in Santa Cruz, orchestrating a grand wedding gala in Monterey, or even a breathtaking destination wedding in locations as far-flung as Utah or Cape Town, I'm here to craft artistic mementos that resonate with your unique love story.
Discover a unique and special wedding photography experience that beautifully intertwines your love story with natural landscapes. Allow me, at Picturist Photography, to document your Monterey wedding or destination event in the most artistic and genuine way!

Master Photographer to say the Least!
Great wedding memories thanks to Danieka!
Finally, Danieka went above and beyond by sharing a wedding day of timeline with a suggested sequence of events and timing that helped us run ahead of schedule on our wedding day.
