We are so happy we found Erica for our engagement photo session! We wanted something that felt super natural, just bopping around our neighborhood together, and she achieved that vision perfectly!! We are so incredibly happy with how the photos turned out, and Erica herself was a dream to work with!!! She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is something we were both nervous about. The photos came out looking so natural, exactly how we wanted. Highly, highly recommend Erica for engagement and wedding photography!!! Thank you so much!

Erica was amazing! Working with her for our City Hall wedding was a dream - she captured our day perfectly. She is very communicative leading up to the day. My husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Erica made us feel so comfortable. We enjoyed the whole process. She is so experienced with ceremonies at city hall, her knowledge made the most stressful situation a breeze. Our photos turned out even more incredible than we had hoped for. She perfectly captured the day. We can not recommend Erica enough!

When we decided to get married at City Hall, I knew we had to have Erica take the photos. I’ve been a fan of her wedding photography for years and I was sure we would be in experienced, capable hands!

Erica was super communicative in the lead up to the wedding, making sure we had the timeline and everything in order. On the actual day, it was such a fun, relaxed vibe, which was a dream!

Erica knew just what to say to get the shots and was super easy and professional when it came to rallying the friends and family outside as well. She has such a great eye and was able to capture beautiful candid moments, too. We felt so comfortable working with her!

When we got our sneak peak later that day, we were totally blown away. I can’t say enough good things! Working with Erica was the best decision, it really set the tone for a beautiful day.

This review is LONG overdue, but that's entirely my fault—nothing to do with Erica, who is absolutely AMAZING!

The photos were perfect and exactly what we wanted. Communicating with Erica was so easy and straightforward. We really wanted to work with down-to-earth, genuine people who could deliver the look we envisioned, and Erica exceeded all of those expectations.

We received our sneak peek the day after the wedding and were blown away—not only by the number of photos included in the "sneak peek" but also by the incredible quality and how perfectly she captured the moments.

I would call Erica for any and all future photography needs. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Erica was such a pleasure to work with! We couldn’t recommend her more. She made us feel at ease not only on the day of, but leading up to our wedding. We’re so grateful for Erica’s guidance, expertise, and thoughtfulness throughout the whole process. We’re excited to see the final set of photos, but if it’s anything like our sneak peak, we’re not worried at all!

Erica was amazing. She was prompt and professional in all her communication, and answered many of our questions before we could ask them. Neither of us are used to having our photos taken, but she went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She provided our "sneak peek" pictures within days, the curation and skill of the shots was fantastic. We would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for a photographer.

Erica took some of the best wedding pictures I've ever seen, and I don't just say that because they are my own!

We knew we were going to like them. From the top, Erica asked questions about what we wanted and held our hands as we came up with answers beyond "nothing stereotypical". We had several conversations before the day about details and vibe. She checked in at all of the important planning stages, did research on the venue and surrounding area and made us a schedule. She shared opinions but never pushed. She even recommended some of our other vendors.

You spend a lot of your wedding day with the photographer. It really helps to enjoy their company. We had a blast goofing around with Erica and Senshi (the second photographer), before the ceremony. They shepherded our family and friends with tact and humor. They were present for all of the evening's most important moments but never crowded or distracted us. A few guests even proactively told us how much they liked our photographer.

We got exactly what we hoped for: Pictures capturing the mood of the party, the details and facial expressions we couldn't see on the day, and people looking happy because they actually were happy and not because they were told to pose and smile. She sent us a sneak peek almost right away, which extended the wedding vibe high. The final gallery she sent a few months later has made us laugh so many times. My mom plans to order some prints and cannot stop saying "IT'S SO HARD TO CHOOSE!"

On top of all of this, her pricing is very fair. She included a second photographer as part of our package and offered different options to fit our budget.

Couldn't recommend her more highly.

We are forever grateful for the personal touch and style in Erica’s photography. Our wedding photos feel like us, but artwork! My husband and I are not at all familiar with being in professional photos, so we were both concerned about feeling uncomfortable with the camera and/or looking awkward in pictures. However, after meeting with Erica, her excitement, creativity and care made it clear that everything was going to be -not just fine- but fun!

Leading up to our wedding, Erica communicated with us frequently to make sure that we were all on the same page about the schedule of the day and what we wanted from our photos. Erica provided thoughtful suggestions about what would work the best, while truly honoring our vision for the day. On the day of our wedding, my husband and I hardly thought about the camera being there at all. Erica asked us questions to keep us focused on each other and why we were celebrating that day. Erica also seamlessly navigated organizing the prepared shot list of family photos. It is hard to find all the words to stress how grateful we are to Erica and how wonderful her work is.
