focusing your wedding photography on capturing romantic, not overly posed, moments together & celebrating with family & friends —

a personal note

Caitlyn & Matt -

It’s a privilege to put together this proposal for your wedding. I loved hearing from you both about your story and what has led you to planning this day.

I want to ensure that you don't look back and regret any decisions you made with your wedding and photography - making sure your photos feel in the moment, not overly formal; your friends and family being involved and enjoying the day, no one on the sidelines; and that you have photos that feel like you and bring out the softness of the landscape, not just the golf course.

So, based on what you shared with me, I've crafted the collections below with your vision in mind!

xoxo,
Erika

SO, TOGETHER, LET’S CREATE GENUINE IMAGES THAT REPRESENT YOUR STORY.

Erika’s work is timeless, elegant, authentic, and creative.

IMAGES THAT BRING BACK THE FEELS
I’m all about diving deep into your love story and vision, and I’ll really get to the heart of what matters most. Through this connection, I can anticipate the real moments. And uncover the small details that will take you back to your day.

FINE ART STYLE WITH A PERSONALIZED EDGE
After uncovering the aesthetic details and inside scoop on your wedding day plans, I’ll use a personalized and artful approach to create light-filled and classic images— with a bit of personality, a touch of trend, and a whole lot of you.

COMFORT ON AND OFF CAMERA
Before your big day, I’ll seek ways to support and encourage you as a whole person—not just another client. And I'll be your biggest advocate while I anticipate your needs. So by the time your wedding day arrives, you'll naturally feel cared for and free to be yourselves.

COLLECTION II

Ten hours of wedding day coverage with myself and a second photographer, focusing on and capturing the heart of your celebration.

You want her to take your pictures!

She was so incredibly fun to work with & her authentic kindness made everyone she photographed feel so comfortable. She is intentional about all details & made a busy day stress-free. When my friends & family looked through the photos, they raved about how every single one of them captured us, our loved ones, & our day perfectly. She BLEW it out of this world & worked her magic in every way!

A Process Tailored to You

By listening more than I talk and tailoring my services and communication style to what truly matters to you, you’ll enjoy a personalized experience that makes you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood.

Photos That Represent Your Story  

I won't just document your day or recreate poses from the last wedding I photographed. Instead, I'll create personal, meaningful, and unique work for you and your day so you receive beautiful images that are truly one-of-a-kind.

Images You’ll Love Now & Later

I provide true-to-life, clean, and elegant images with a touch of personality and edge. This approach ensures you'll still love your photos in 10 years, even after the trends have changed.

Photography That Feels Effortless

I’ll ensure you can let your guard down and fully enjoy your day by giving you the space to be your true selves without intruding on your special moments. At the same time, I’ll offer guidance to help you look and feel your absolute best—on and off camera.

Moments That Count

I care as much about you and your experience as I do about the photos I provide. That's why I’ll help you find pockets of time to stop, breathe, and take it all in. And I’ll strategically plan out family formals to quickly get everyone back to the celebration—including you!

Imagine a photographer who not only sees you but also understands the depth of your connection. I’m able to do so through an intentional approach I’ve honed over 15 years. And it allows me to create images as meaningful as the moments they represent.

Featured Galleries

Enjoy these thoughtfully designed weddings and legacy-defining moments—captured with heart.

I wanted to send along this gallery because it also took place at a golf club. The couple wanted it to feel more romantic, and I loved how we were able to achieve that! The day was also focused on honoring the bride’s family traditions and the two families coming together; no detail was overlooked.

Romanced by the southern charm of Charleston, Lesley & Curtis wanted engagement photos as unique as their love story. Together, we crafted an experience seeing all the best low country has to offer from sailing the harbor to walking the last hole of the Ocean Course, their season of engagement was made even sweeter through sharing these memories.
