WEDDINGS

In your wedding day, there is no "One fits all". Your wedding portraits and video will be carefully crafted with the love, joy from your wedding day. Emotional and candid as it was but with the beauty of a love story.

It will mean everything to you the day you receive your photos and video, and in the next 20 years from now. Your portraits are an heirloom for your future selves, children and grandchildren. Your love story is already beautiful, I am here just for you to see it.

COUPLES

I’ve been shooting weddings for over three years and now taking a max of 15 special couples to bring the best experience and energy to your big day. There isn’t a day that goes that I am not excited to elevate your experience and to tell the love story that represent you.

II

PORTRAITS

I am here for every milestone across your journey and love story. It all starts with two individuals, and that is how I get to celebrate maternity, newborn, senior and immediate and extended families across my journey. Let’s capture your new milestone because you have every right to celebrate and enjoy it. I will take care of the rest!

MORE THAN PHOTOGRAPHY

picture it:

Years from now, your grandchildren will look through a collection of photos and videos, each one telling the story of your love and capturing the emotions and authenticity of it. No fake staged or awkward moments, just you two—full of joy and laughter plus the full celebration and emotions: like the tears in your parents and grandparents’ eyes when they first see you, and ALL those funny, unforgettable moments. Those memories won’t just be images, they are the soul and watermark of your love story; they’ll bring your story to timeless life, showing the strength of your bond and the beauty of your journey on your best day ever together along with all your loved ones.

  • Logan and Kaylee Fancher

    “Erika, THIS WAS AMAZING. It was all happening so fast. We don't remember it all. We are so lucky we got to have you. Today is the day my dad passed 8 years ago, so getting the video yesterday and watching it today was so special. We appreciate all your hard work on putting this together. We love it so much. Thank YOU again.” -Kylee and Logan

  • Karina

    “I LOVED that you included the unedited parts such as when my friends were trying to figure out what to say or do, or my grandma trying to say things in English. There were some tears shed as expected. I LOVED the video and the photos. You made a customer for life not only for your work but for the beautiful person that you are. Even though I was embarrassed for a few seconds for crying in front of you guys, you BOTH made me feel like everything was going to be okay and you guys felt like family right away. You both have awesome personalities, and I will forever be grateful to you guys for making me feel so comfortable, especially when taking photos.”

  • Nick and Alison Jochimsen

    “Erika was so easy to work with and had really great lines of communication through our whole wedding videography experience. She had lots of questions for us beforehand to ensure she got to know us and could make our video personalized to us. She has a really great soul and that translates into her work.”
