I am Erica and photography is my passion. It makes me happy that you are here reading this! My photography journey started not too long ago when I was dabbling in product photography for some local jewelers. I had taken some photos of engagement rings by themselves but it didn’t really hit me until I started working with models! From then on I realized I really enjoyed photographing people and connecting with them. Shortly after this revelation, my good friend asked me to take her engagement photos and the rest is history! Ever since I have been photographing every moment I can for my clients!

I don’t know where to begin! One of the first times I talked to Erica was when I sent her a LIST of questions I had. Like, can she send a full wedding gallery, does she have a backup plan, what’s it like to work with her during the wedding day, etc (LOL).
These are questions I asked other photographers too, so when Erica got back to me within minutes, I was impressed! All of her answers were straight to the point, and I could see how thorough and intentional she was with caring for her clients.
I also saw this throughout the year and a half we got to know her and Tom (2nd shooter/husband). From driving 10 hrs away to Big Bend for our engagement photos, to another 9 hrs to Palo Duro Canyon, and all the way to our wedding way - Erica always took care of us, treated us like close friends and family, and made us laugh!
Most importantly, not only did Erica deliver AMAZING photos, but she didn’t make us feel awkward while taking them! She directed us with ease and laughter, so the whole experience was actually fun!
Our time with her was truly a blessing in disguise amidst the chaos of wedding planning. They were the highlight of our engagement period.
Before and during our wedding day, Erica & Tom also stepped in and helped us and our guests when needed. I think this shows how much they both care about their couples and ensured that we got to actually experience our wedding day (and not having it feel like a posed photoshoot).
All of that being said, I recommend her 10000%. Do it, book her!

Erica was so wonderful to work with. She took the most beautiful photos of our engagement and wedding. I absolutely treasure the shots I have. I'm really camera shy and wedding planning was incredibly stressful, so I really appreciate how flexible and patient Erica was. We also got to meet Tom, her second shooter, who was so kind and helpful. They are so great to work with!

Erica did an incredible job with our wedding and engagement photos! My husband and I didn't want our wedding to feel like a big production, and Erica and her team did a great job documenting the day without it feeling too overwhelming. We received a great mix of candids and posed photos that we will treasure for many years. ❤️

Erica exceeded our expectations when we booked her 2 years ago and shot our wedding this March 2024. She became more than our wedding photographer. Not only did she over deliver artistic and wonderful photos, her kind, friendly, and witty personality also made the whole experience fun! You won't regret choosing her! We love you, Erica!!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Erica is an amazing photographer that is easy to work with, diligent, incredibly helpful, and easy to get in touch with. Our wedding photos turned out better than ever expected. We are so lucky to have hired her as our photographer. Her work is worth every cent! Would recommend her to every Harris county bride.

My husband and I loved working with Erica. Her personality and energy made us very comfortable since we’ve never taken professional pictures before. She did our engagement photoshoot & our wedding! She was able to capture our personality and love in the pictures. Plus her edits were chefs kiss! If you’re looking for a good laugh & stunning pictures we 100% recommend! 🥰💗🤞🏼

It’s been 4 months since we got married and since we had Erica and her husband Tom be our wedding photographers. They are the most enthusiastic, supportive, unobtrusive, helpful and lovely photographer team! It's like the bonus was that they take absolutely amazing photos, cause you're legit going to want to hang out with them. From my wives beautiful bridal photos to our wedding day, we could not be happier with the end result and we would happily recommend them to anyone. Our wedding day rained….a lot! The rain not only did not stop Erica and Tom from snapping away but it also didn't stop them from being creative with the shots and still capture every moment despite the rain. Also, they worked so well with the other vendors, which can be difficult at times when you book a video and photography vendor who are from two different companies. My wife completely adored Erica's energy during her bridal shoot. My wife immediately called me and told me that Erica was amazing and so full of positive vibes, she could be one of her BFFs, lol. They are such a lovely photography couple and really made our day special and have given us photos (a generous amount) that will live with us forever. You will not be disappointed if you choose them for your event and they were a pleasure to work with throughout and very reliable. So go and book them now! Seriously, you will not be disappointed. Now my wife and I just need to find an excuse to see them working their magic again! Thank you again Erica and Tom!

Erica B Photography took our engagement & wedding photos, and I LOVED everything about the experience. Communication, professionalism, friendliness, photo taking and editing were spot on!!! The vibe with her is great and her vision is impeccable. We received beautiful sneak peaks, and the photos were timely delivered as promised. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! You will NOT be disappointed. Erica B is the kind of photographer that you hang onto for a lifetime and have captured your life in pictures.

Erica (and her second shooter, Tom) were fantastic to work with. We hired them for our wedding day photos as well as our engagement photos. We had a relatively short engagement and Erica's responsiveness and flexibility were A+. She took all of my inspo pics and made sure our photos were the right vibe and aesthetic we were looking for. I am the most unphotogenic person on the planet, and I normally hate looking at photos of myself, but I truly love all of our photos!! 100% recommend Erica!

I don’t think I could say enough about how great Erica is! I saw her style a year before the wedding and instantly knew I wanted to book her. Everything has just been too notch. She was super easy to work with. When we did our engagement shoot it was like hanging out with a friend. Erica and her husband Tom were so reassuring, calm and efficient on our wedding day and helped make the day run smoothly! We’re already trying to decide when to book her for family portraits. You won’t be disappointed if you book with Erica.

Erica was such a wonderful choice for our wedding. I don't think I would've been happier with anyone else. She was very flexible and understanding while working with us through a date change for our big day. On the day of the wedding, she felt more like a friend than a vendor.
My bridal portraits were more than perfect, and our wedding photos were absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait to go back and look at our gallery a million more times and relive that perfect day over and over. She will be my go-to photographer choice for any future photoshoots!

Erica was AMAZING to work with! She did such a great job of directing and posing us so that we didn’t look awkward in any of our photos (which is no easy task). She really understood the aesthetic we were going for and we could not be happier with the end result. 10/10 would recommend

Booking Erica as are engagement and wedding photographer was the best decision I could ever make. I had no worries going into either of these days. Erica radiates confidence and it shows in work! Not only will she be your photographer but she will be your friend. Erica always made sure my husband and I always felt comfortable being in front of the camera. She asked questions to get to know us as friends instead of clients. We both love her!! Are photos turned out absolutely amazing! I CANT STOP LOOKING AT THEM! These photos will be cherished forever and she will be my forever photographer these no doubt about it! Also, we had the privilege of having Erica’s husband Tom take photos on the wedding day as well! It was super cool having a second photographer, and his photos were equally amazing. Book Erica today!! You won’t regret it!

We worked with Erica and Tom for our November 2022 wedding. Erica is great with dogs which was very important to us. She accommodated our dog for our engagement photos (solo!) and made sure we got great photos with her on our wedding day as well. We were impressed with our wedding album especially our couples shots and really appreciated how they were able to capture both of us separately before the ceremony and do double duty for the rest of the day. Thank you Erica and Tom for capturing our wedding day memories!

If you want the most perfect and unique wedding photos, hire Erica. This review would be 10,000 pages long if I got to say every nice thing about her…but she is so incredibly talented and such a fun person to work with. I hate getting my photo taken but with Erica it’s so fun and they always turn out incredible! She truly cares about her brides and you get so much more than just incredible photos, you also get a friend. My engagement and wedding photos were an absolute dream and everyone raves about how amazing they are. She DELIVERS EVERY TIME. It’s insane how amazing she is. If you want GREAT (not just good) photos and memories to look back on forever, you need to hire her. She makes your wedding day so much more special. I’ll never let anyone else take my photos.

We used Erica for our engagement pics and our elopement/family wedding in Houston! Not only are her and her husband, Tom, great photographers, they are the sweetest people. When Erica was already booked with a wedding on our date, Tom stepped in and did it for us! They were very flexible with timing and came prepared. I definitely recommend her and Tom to anyone!

Erica is truly one of a kind!!! We were lucky enough to find her through family, and when we realized she was available for our last minute ceremony we booked her immediately! We honestly didn’t know much about Erica besides the fact that we liked her photos! We truly were so blessed to have her as our photog, from the moment we met her at our engagement shoot to two months later at our wedding! She immediately makes you feel comfortable and at ease! I think I told her several times at the wedding I was so glad she and Tom were there with us! It honestly felt like I had an old friend there with me by my side. She made the photo sessions go smoothly, she’s full of fun ideas, and is literally the sweetest! My husband and I loved having the two of them with us for 7 hours on our wedding day 😂😂! Our family and friends loved her as well and several people asked us for her info after the wedding!
Ok now onto the photos- the photos were beautiful!!!! She has such a great eye and doesn’t seem to miss anything!!! We absolutely loved our photos! Her work speaks for itself.
I’m trying to find every reason to have her by our side again!!! Thank you again Erica!!!! And Tom!!!

“When I got my pictures I felt like I found treasure. There’s pictures of my parents dancing, the ones of [the groom] and his dad, the ones of my girls praying for me... I just love all of these pictures! I am so excited to print them! She captured the feeling and the peace of our day (even though she was probably the busiest person there!) and I am so grateful! And omg. The pictures of [the groom]- I think I blushed! hahaha”

Erica is the ultimate professional from start to finish. We had a destination wedding and we coordinated across many miles. She made sure that she knew our story and all of the family who would be part of the event. The pictures captured the sheer joy of our union. Every picture is perfect!

I want to leave 10/10 stars! Erica is absolutely THE BEST! From our engagement photos to my bridal portraits to our wedding day Erica made us feel so comfortable and made taking pictures so much fun, since we (especially me) am so awkward with phots! On top of that the pictures were absolutely fantastic and we couldn’t be happier. While planning, she was very responsive and accommodating! Her husband helped at our wedding and he was just as awesome as she was! I would hire Erica over and over again! She will not disappoint you by choosing her as your photographer!

Erica, darling!
I can speak for every woman when I say we are highly critical of ourselves. When it comes to pictures there’s always the angles, “feeling fluffy”, or having an incredibly goofy face. I cannot tell you how many times we said “wow” to our wedding pictures. They are flawless, cody and I joke about decorating all of our walls with our pictures because they are all so beautiful, even some of the “goofy faced” ones came out perfect. How is that even possible? It’s all because of you and your photography amazing skills. You and your husband caught every moment that we didn’t even realize was happening and looking through our pictures brings us pure joy. Not only are your picture taking skills out of this world, both of you handled the entire day better than I could’ve imagined (you know 😜). Thank you for giving us memories that will last forever❤️

Erica was so amazing throughout the entire process!
I booked her about 4 months before my wedding after my last photographer ghosted me and I’m so so so grateful we found her.
Erica’s communication is 10/10! Communication was super important to me since I had previously been vendor ghosted but Erica was seriously amazing and never had me doubt. She’s the perfect hype-woman and so easygoing to talk to while still being professional.
We got our pictures back pretty quickly and I can not stop looking at them! I’m so obsessed with them! She and her husband captured all the best parts. She even managed to get a picture with both ring bearers + the flower girl looking at the camera which is nearly impossible with 3 toddlers lol.
Thank you so much for making my dark rainy wedding day look so beautiful!!

I honestly wish I could leave a higher review!!! My now husband and I hired Erica as the photographer for our wedding and engagement photos, and it was the easiest and best decision ever! Right away I felt a friendly and supportive energy from Erica, and she consistently surprised me with her knowledge and compassion! She was a relaxing force on the wedding day, and posing for photos felt so natural with her! We love every single photo of ours with a passion, and she made us feel so at ease during all the photos. She captured so many magical moments, including the surprise on everyone’s face when my husband dipped me for the first kiss! It is practically impossible to pick my favorite photos, because she made every moment of our wedding day feel so golden and perfect! I love how her photography style seemed to be perfectly suited to our energy and love for nature! She constantly made us laugh and she captured so many candid beautiful moments! We definitely plan to hire Erica again to celebrate all of our future moments!! We are so thankful for all the beautiful and stunning memories she captured from our wedding! ☺️

Erica is honestly THE BEST photographer I could have chosen. I was sooo flustered with my wedding planning at first and I don't even remember how I found her but THANK GOD I DID!! I'm very nervous and awkward around new people and when my husband and I met her it was as if we'd been friends for years. We had an absolute blast with her and the photos were amazing! She went out of her way to make everything smooth for us and had us do new poses that I hadn't even thought of. Our wedding photos came out and I instantly cried from the way she captured our special day. We love her so much that we're wanting her to do all our photo sessions forever ❤

•They are on time, and check in with you, and give you updates along the way. A pleasure to work with them always!

We used Erica B Photography for our wedding pics. First of all, let me say my husband and I hate taking pics. I never like myself in pictures and it makes me uncomfortable. The day of the wedding she really made us feel comfortable. She felt like part of the family. She found really pretty backdrops at the venue to pose us in front of. We laughed and made jokes the whole time. When I got the wedding portfolio it made me tear up. She captured the best day of my life from start to finish so beautifully. I looked at the pictures for hours. They just make me smile. I love them so much! I love her color choices in her edits! From the time she takes on site to how ever long it took her to edit hundreds of pictures she is a definitely worth every penny.

Erica was friendly and very responsive beforehand and was on time and wore a mask to the event. She was very helpful, friendly, funny, and made it very easy, she had many great ideas for poses and even helped with decor to make sure the photos would be good.. The photos came out beautiful and myself and my family raved about them. Would recommend her for any event not just weddings. :)
