We are a husband and wife photography team.
Not because we shoot weddings together, but because I couldn't be living my dream as freely as I am without you.

For all the airport runs you make with me in the dark hours.
For all the post-it notes you leave around the house telling me that I've got this.
For all the photos I make you look at and tell me what you think.
For all the times you patiently listen to me gush about a shoot or a wedding day.
▽
But more than that, for all the everything that you are. You are content when I'm restless, thankful when I'm selfish, funny when I'm stubborn, and by far the better-looking half of this team.

Happy birthday to my best friend. Life is sweeter with you in it, Greg.

Her dress was piled up over her arms as she walked back to cocktail hour, the rest of us trailing behind.
Chad saw Rachel walking alone in front, and picked up the pace so he could be with her.

That moment wasn't the biggest romantic gesture of the day, but it's one that I remember so clearly. Because life is lived in the in-between moments of seeing each other and being together.

Lost all my chill in Maine. 〰️ And this may or may not have looked like tears welling up in my eyes as the overwhelming sense of gratitude sunk in for this work I get to do.
〰️
So, friend, let me in on what you’re grateful for today.

"You better not say that, Chad. Erika puts quotes on her instagram posts..."

Sorry, @rachdanforth, I couldn't resist!

But really, my heart has nothing but thanks in it for being able to spend the weekend celebrating two of the most deserving people committing to forever in what I can now say is the most beautiful place on earth.

Erika Aileen Photography International Wedding Photographer

I graduated from Purdue University with an engineering degree (bet you didn’t see that one coming) and worked for some time in the corporate world. Fully convinced that a change was required, I left my job, kept pursuing photography, and haven’t looked back since...

Testimonials

"As we sipped hot Starbucks (Erika’s treat) about 7 months before my wedding day, Erika asked me to describe what I wanted my wedding photos to be like. I wanted to look back on our wedding photos, and feel like I could see a love story. Our wedding day was an absolute blur. I remember IT FELT MAGICAL. However, it wasn’t but a few days later I realized I could hardly remember how everything looked. I had so many happy memories and fuzzy feelings, but almost no mental images! When Erika delivered the photos, I was able to totally relive the beauty! Our photos truly captured the underlying vibes I stumbled to describe months before: the colors soft, candid moments captured, and romantic foliage a common theme. My wedding day LOOKS as magical as it FELT."

- CARLY & TREVOR

"Erika has taken multiple photos for my husband and I, including our engagement photos and anniversary photos. Each time she has made me feel so comfortable and has made the whole process simple. For each session, I have MANY photos that I absolutely love. Erika directs you in an effortless way and makes you feel beautiful, even if you aren't comfortable in front of the camera. From these sessions, I have photos that are true to who my husband and I are. Which is such a treasure to have."

- RACHELLE & DAVID

"When my husband and I began shopping around for local photographers for our wedding, we were blown away at how many choices there were. We looked at what seemed like hundreds of portfolios and didn't feel a connection with anyone's style until we found Erika. Erika has a raw and natural talent that is insurmountable and is one of the most genuine, caring, and down to earth individuals that I've ever met. Throughout the sessions, she has taken time to just talk with us and hear our story - truly making us feel like we were more than just an appointment on her calendar."

- CHRISTINA & GEORGE

I started my business officially in 2012 while still in college. After finishing my engineering degree and launching a corporate career, I couldn’t shake the desire I had for more of the beautiful moments and precious souls I came to know through photographing weddings. Now, with an ever-growing desire to value and photograph love, I’d love to experience that with you! So, would you take a minute and introduce yourself?
