in their words

"I feel like I hired my best friend to take our wedding pictures. Erin is magical!"

Hello!

Meet Erin

Hi, I'm Erin, and I LOVE WEDDINGS. Photographing weddings is my literal dream job. My love language is gifts (both giving and receiving). It's a gift--isn't it?--that God gave me this business to combine my artist's eye, desire to serve, and absolute exuberance meeting strangers. I am honored to receive.

The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

based in

Born and raised seaside; in local terms this means my floors are covered in sand at all times. Summer swims and winter walks, give me every bit of beach time possible! Besides this glorious coast, past couples have brought me to Europe, Alaska, and all over the continental U.S. I'd love nothing more than to help you celebrate anywhere in the world!

2017

The Beginning

I first learned to photograph at a professional level back in 2014, but after several years of practice, I finally knew I wanted to pursue it as a full-time career in 2017! This was the year I built a website, experimented with the types of shoots I liked the most, and dreamed about the future (all while still working a different full-time job).

2018

The Leap

I officially took the leap from part-time photographer to full-time wedding photographer in 2018! I used this year to second shoot and assist for other photographers while also photographing weddings and shoots of my own. I was over-the-moon excited to finally be doing what I loved!

2019

The Process

2019 was a crucial year for me! I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars investing into my business. From buying new gear to attending workshops to practicing new photography techniques, I did everything in my power to elevate my skillset and make sure I was prepared for any situation at a wedding! All the time and effort paid off, and I had a fantastic experience with every single couple I photographed.

2020

The Pandemic

After plenty of time in the driver's seat figuring out my place in the wedding industry, I solidified my brand and approach to wedding photography to better serve my clients...just in time for a global pandemic. I quickly pivoted my approach to weddings and photographed dozens of modified celebrations in the form of elopements and micro weddings that felt all the more special in the midst of a dark year.

2021

The Busy Season

In the midst of cramming two years' worth of weddings into one, 2021 inspired me creatively to add film into my work as a way to slow down and bring a sense of nostalgia to your wedding photos. I launched a custom heirloom wedding album collection this year so you can relive your wedding photos through a distinctly tangible experience. This year gifted me the chance to photograph some of my past couples again with new babies joining families - what an honor to be a "lifetime" photographer!

2022

The Present

I’m excited to continue growing my business in 2022! This year I look forward to creating a separate family photography business to serve all my couples who are adding children to the mix along with continuing to share about my recent print shop endeavor featuring minimalist yet colorful details and landscapes to cover the walls of your homes. Weddings are back in full force on my calendar with even some travel opportunities on the rise. Can’t wait to see where the rest of the year takes us!

on a personal note

Meet Manoah

I met my husband Manoah when we were both 13 years old. Half our lives later, we are still the best of friends. You can thank him for encouraging me to start photographing weddings; my ultimate cheerleader! On my off days, we tan at the beach, try out a new restaurant, and experiment with cocktail-making in our kitchen.
