Rachel & Mike sat comfortably listening to each other telling inside jokes and raving about the pear tart that was out of this world.
☕️
As the staff was milling about closing things down for the evening they were still riding the wave of an evening together in Beacon Hill finally having their photos taken (after 8 years of being together).
🥂
More of our time together is up on the blog. So, grab yourself a cuppa along with them and peruse.

He found me at the reception and said to me "oh, I have to show you something!"
〰️
My past groom took out his phone, scrolled to a video, and told me to watch it. It was from the day I delivered their wedding photos.
〰️
The video showed them opening the gallery together and his newly minted wife's reaction as she opened the link.
She started crying and saying "oh, remember this? ah, everything was perfect! I just can't believe it! wait...are you videoing this? Stop and come over here!"
And then I started crying...It was just all too much.
〰️
That 30 second video couldn't have summed up better why I value so much capturing weddings days in their most genuine and joyful moments.

Actively combatting the desire to be a grumps today by taking stock of things I'm grateful for:
1. Morning walks with coffee
2. A fresh style by my girl, @lolahairartistry
3. Completing projects that have seemingly been taking forever
4. Amazon Prime shipping (yes and amen 📦)
If you have things to be thankful for (and I’m a firm believer that we all do), spread the positive vibes and let me know!

There was plenty of sunshine on yesterday's cloudy day.

Safe from the drizzle, these two pledged their love to each other. It's been a whirlwind, intercontinental kind of love that's been through so much together (not least of all adopting 2 adorable cats).

As close family toasted, every person shared so much kindness and thankfulness for Lara & Grant and I couldn’t have felt more of the same. Thank you, Chapmans, for treating me like one your own.

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?
