Central Coast, CA
focusing your wedding photography on capturing candid moments together & celebrating with family & friends —
a personal note
Morgan,
It’s a privilege to put together this proposal for your wedding. I enjoyed hearing more about your wedding vision when we talked over the phone. How special to document savoring these moments in California with your family and friends all in one place to celebrate alongside you and Clay.
I want to ensure that you don't look back and regret any decisions you made with your wedding and photography or feel like the photos were not true to color, overly posed, and don’t truly capture the candid moments as well as the guided ones.
So, based on what you shared with me, I've crafted the collections below with your vision in mind!
xoxo,
Erika
Your love and your wedding are too unique to throw into the same box as every other couple.
SO, TOGETHER, LET’S CREATE GENUINE IMAGES THAT REPRESENT YOUR STORY.
Erika’s work is timeless, elegant, authentic, and creative.
Her perspective looks like a painting, and she captures genuine personalities through her photography.

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.

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!

Set in a picturesque location with sentimental ties for the couple, the weekend focused on an intimate, joy-filled celebration. The florals and decor were kept very flowing and colorful to complement the wildflowers and lush greens.
Colorful & Joyful
Intimate Wedding
It only made sense to take engagement photos for Amity and Clay in the mountains they’ve explored together since they met. Driving up over a pass into the national forest, they revisited the tree they carved on the day of their engagement.
