Couldn't have been more pleased with our engagement and wedding photos. Once we saw a samples of Erica's photo's we knew she was the one for us. Erica and Antonio are true artists of the craft. She captured every important moment and went above and beyond to produce beautiful photos. Not only are they incredibly skilled but they put the effort into each shot as if it was their own.
Photographs were high on my priority list for my wedding. I fell in love with Erica’s work from the first time I saw it. Fell even more in love once I met Erica and Antonio. Truly amazing individuals with a wonderful eye for photos. I couldn’t be more please with our experience.
Choosing Erica as our photographer for our wedding was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Erica made the entire process seamless while also providing great advice and insight into other aspects of our wedding day we hadn’t even thought of! Erica set up different pricing options for us, allowing us to pick what was best for the small ceremony we had. Erica and her husband, Antonio, were professional and made us feel so comfortable being photographed. We wanted them to capture the candid moments of our small wedding and asked that our day didn’t feel entirely staged for photos, and they did that beautifully. The photo reveal process was intimate and unique despite Covid and was the perfect way to look back on our wedding day. We cherish our photos and would highly recommend Erica for her services. I look forward to working with her again as our future unfolds.
Erica was amazing from the moment we met her. She was the last of our meetings with various photographers around Columbus and we immediately felt at ease with her. It also helped that she offered us our favorite beverages and treats. Big win! After that first conversation, there was no doubt she was the best fit for us. She totally ran with the idea of having our engagement photos done at Hofbräuhaus (a place we spend a lot of time) and even joined us for dinner after the session. We also loved getting to know Antonio and their amazing relationship absolutely transcends the moments and photos they capture as a team. They didn’t pose us during our engagement shoot, they just wanted us to be our genuine, happy selves and we feel this is reflected in all of our photos.
We also loved all of the little things Erica did for us throughout our 16-month engagement. From the photo reveals to the surprise goodies that occasionally showed up at our door. It was a constant reminder that while she may not be actively doing something for us wedding prep-wise, she was still thinking of us.
On the day of the wedding, Erica was exactly how we wanted a photographer to be. She was in charge and organized, but still very fun, creative, and personable. She had a lot of great ideas for detail shots and we trusted that whatever she did and wherever she put us, it would look great. Not only did we love the relationship between us and Erica, of course our photographs were beyond perfect! We loved that Erica worked with us to create a wedding album that is beautiful and tells the story of the day. Everyone who has seen the album has commented on the quality of both the photos and book.
We would recommend Erica Kay Photography to anyone who is looking for amazing photographs of their most important moments in life from a creative, positive, and loving individual who is bound to become a friend.
If you stumbled across my review you can stop looking for a photographer immediately! Erica Kay Photography will be everything you expect and more. Erica is extremely professional, energetic and supportive during the wedding process. She is beyond organized and makes NOTHING stressful. Seriously, my wife and I are very organized and she met and exceeded all of our expectations. Not to mention she is highly knowledgable in every aspect of the wedding process. She takes care of all the details, so you can just enjoy your day. What will be the most challenging part while working with Erica? Well, every picture turns out spectacular, so best of luck picking your favorites. There are no challenges with Erica, just exceptional customer service; a friendly and comfortable environment she purposefully creates; and high quality photos. When you hire Erica, you hire the best and don't you want that kind of guarantee on your wedding day?
Amazing job! From our professional headshots 5 years ago to our engagement and weddings photos last year.
Erica provide a great experience. She made the process easy, fit right in with us and our guests and delivered outstanding work (photos, blog, albums, etc.). The photo reveal party was a nice touch and great time to reflect on our wedding given how quickly it flew by and our busy schedule.
Also, it's nice to know we gave our business to two truly great people (thanks Antonio as well).
Erica was our wedding photographer in October, and we were so pleased that her and Antonio were able to capture the day so perfectly! Erica was very thorough and professional, but also made our wedding day (and leading up to it) a fun experience. We had the idea of wanting our engagement photos at the Columbus Zoo, and Erica was totally on board and made it happen which we were so excited about! The photos of our wedding day are beautiful and we will cherish them for a lifetime. Erica made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, has an amazing eye for creatively catching the moment, and threw in several sweet surprises for us along the way. Thank you, Erica and Antonio!
We must say we loved Erica the day we met her. We met with multiple photographers but once we met Erica we instantly knew we found our photographer. We must say she was more than a photographer, she was our partner who made parts of the wedding process so smooth. From the engagement photo session, follow up meetings, to the actual wedding day. She was able to put a vision without us able to articulate what we wanted. She is very creative and we couldn’t be more happier with how our experience and photos came out. We don’t really know photography but we knew what we liked when we saw Ericas portfolio. We appreciate all she did for us and would highly recommend her for anyone!
Amazing to work with!
Erica was so wonderful to work with from the very beginning! We loved everything we saw before we even met her and loved it even more as we saw the way she got to know about us and then captured our own story. She went above and beyond our expectations and helped with the entire timeline of the day and different options just in case Ohio weather didn't cooperate. The photos are amazing and captured so many moments we'll cherish forever. We absolutely love the photos and can't wait to put them up in our house! The only downside is we only get to go through this wedding experience with her once but look forward to hopefully doing other photo sessions with her in the future!
Erica is AMAZING! We are so grateful she was our wedding photographer! Her artistry and skills are incredible. We are so thrilled with how our engagement photos came out (shot in Coney Island, NY as Erica made a business trip coincide with our shoot!), and we can't wait to see the photos from our 9/1/19 wedding at Wren Farm. Erica is so talented behind the lens. There is no suggested shot she won't complete, and she always comes up with great shot ideas. Erica was knowledgeable, friendly, and calm throughout the wedding planning process. Both Erica and Antonio have wonderful personalities that made them a pleasure to work with. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we began wedding planning. Erica was a major help, as she laid out what decisions to make and when to make them by when it came to wedding planning. Erica is fountain of knowledge when it comes to weddings. THANK YOU, Erica! We could not have have done our wedding without you! We love you and Antonio!!!
Erika Kay Photography did the photography for my sister Kaitlin and her husband, Alan's wedding- AMAZING photos! They all looked really great, and the bridal party could, at times, be a little much to handle- she worked with all of us really well. There were so many good pictures of everyone who helped celebrate their special day.
Erica and Antonio made our wedding day even more special than it already was. We are absolutely in love with all of our photos and she did and amazing job taking pictures in a tricky lighting setting. We had our reception in the Toledo Zoo aquarium so the lights were reflecting everywhere and she did an absolutely amazing job catching every meaningful moment. We loved her and the experience we had with her. <3 highly recommend Erica Kay!
Erica was great to work with! She was wonderful for both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. For our engagement photos, she was willing to travel with us to Hocking Hills and took some incredible shots. For our wedding day, we had elegantly composed and candid snaps at the Ohio Statehouse. The blog preview you'll receive does not do any justice to how you will feel when you receive your full set of photos!
Erica Kay Photography made the entire process AMAZING for us! Her willingness to travel and explore for the perfect locations made for the BEST photos! Planning a wedding is stressful, so I was incredibly relieved to find Erica. Everything was very relaxed, but still attentive. One thing that sets Erica apart is the 'photo reveal' she did for us at the end. She gathered snacks and our favorite beverages and met with us to view the pictures and create an album together. From engagement pictures, until receiving our final album, everything was amazing and so effortless!! I couldn't be happier to have had her capture our big day!
My friend's wedding pictures turned out great! Creative ideas and good results!
Erica and her spouse did a fantastic job photographing our daughters wedding at Scioto Audubon Metro Park. When we got the photos back I sat crying happy tears. I also couldn't believe how many happy and funny shots she captured. I highly recommend her.
Thank you Erica

Erica photographed myself and my husband, Alan's, weddding on May 18, 2019. She, and her husband, did a FANTASTIC job! Our pictures are amazing and she captured so many little things I never even got to see at the wedding. When I look back at our pictures it gives me such a happy feeling to remember such a great day. My favorite part of her pictures is she captured all of the happy emotions of the day including myself, Alan, and all our family and friends. She is truly an exceptional artist.
Erica Kay Photography captured our wedding perfectly! We LOVED working with Erica and her husband, Antonio. They're both so full of love & joy and truly cared about capturing every aspect of our wedding through photographs (beautiful photographs I must add 😍). They took the stress right out of our planning. From creating a timeline together, to understanding every detail, Erica had it covered. On our wedding day everything fell into place, photos were taken on time, which meant we weren't late for dinner 🤗, and she captured the most amazing sunset photos at just the right moment. After our wedding when it came time for our photo reveal, Erica and Antonio invited us into their home to view all of our photos on a large screen, AND they had delicious food for us to snack on! After the reveal, Erica had already prepped a digital version of our photo album, we just simply had to play around with layouts and photos to make it the way we wanted it. The album is perfect and I can't thank Erica Kay Photography enough for photographing our wedding ❤️
My wife and I got married back on October 21, 2017. It was a perfect Fall day. There was no rain, not too much wind and plenty of sunshine. Erica was able to capture our day to it’s fullest and we would recommend her to anyone!
I don't have enough good things to say about Erica and her husband. First off they are some of the nicest people I've ever met and they were so awesome to work with! We started planning our wedding from South Carolina and Erica was super helpful & accommodating throughout the whole process. Erica kept everything organized and professional and has been so personable throughout the whole experience. We had both our engagement photos and wedding photos taken by Erica Kay Photography and I'm so impressed with how all of our pictures came out. They are AMAZING! Our photo sessions felt laid back and Erica and her husband really took their time to make sure they got the perfect photos (which they did!). I honestly could not have asked for a better photographer. I 100% recommend Erica Kay Photography if you are in need of a photographer!
Having Erica photograph our engagement pictures and wedding pictures was one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding process! Erica really takes her time and makes sure she gets the perfect shot. You can tell how passionate she is about photography and making her customers happy! It’s truly a custom experience with her. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out! She truly is the best of the best, 100% hands down!!!! We love you, Erica!
Erica is incredible!! I can't recommend her enough! She is very professional, always on time, very kind and a joy to be around. She truly know how to capture a love story. I highly recommend her.
If you want a friendly, personable photographer that will take great photos and be a joy to work with, look no further. The wedding party had a blast taking photos at the most unique places. Erica took great photos of my sister Marisa and her husband Ben- and beautiful family photos that are hanging in my house!
My husband and Igot married in September of 2017, but as soon as we met Erica during our planning we knew it was a perfect fit. She was so helpful during the process walking us through our options, setting a timeline and working with our vendors to make everything perfect. Erica is a true professional and during the craziness on our big day, kept me calm and sane and on time! She also coordinated so well with my other vendors and made my husband and I feel so confident that things were running smoothly. Looking back on our amazing photos, I can’t wait until the next life adventure she can capture for us!
Erica Kay Photography is simply AMAZING! She photographed my daughters engagement and wedding. Erica really is more than a photographer. From the beginning through to the end she offered endless support,advice and guidance. Her experience and professionalism shines through! We got couldn’t be more happier with the results, she is talented and genuinely love what she does.
Erica did a such tremendous job working on a fast paced schedule; she captured hundreds of moment from our special day with such ease and a natural talent for the high quality any bride and groom hopes for in wedding photos. I recommend her 100%!
My friend Kelsey got married just over a year ago and Erica was her photographer. The photos are incredible, and Erica was so fabulous all day long - she made us all feel comfortable and beautiful. I know Kelsey was thrilled!
Erica was the photographer for my friend Kelsey’s wedding (I was a bridesmaid) and she was AMAZING!! Made us all so comfortable and most importantly put the couple first!!
Erica Kay enhanced my brother's already fantastic wedding, into something extraordinary. They took us (the bridal party) to beautiful locations and took amazing pictures. I love looking back on the photos and the highlight video because they really captured the love-filled, memorable day. Thank you!!
My friends Kelsey and Josh got married last August and Erica was fantastic! The pictures turned out great and we had so much fun riding around Columbus taking bridal party photos. I highly reccommend them if your getting married in Columbus!
I was the maid of honor in a wedding Erica shot. She did an amazing job wrangling the bridal party and being efficient so that Kelsey and Josh could get all the pictures they wanted. We were able to go to multiple locations and still get to the reception with time to spare. I will be recommending her to my other friends getting married in Columbus!
Erica did the photography for my sister Kelsey Ginnetti’s wedding and did an AMAZING job! Wonderful candid photos in great lighting. She was able to take a lot of great photos with different scenery around the wedding venue.
Erica took my photos October 2017 and did a fantastic job! Joe and I could not be happier! Thank you for capturing our special day!!!
Erica did our engagement and wedding photos and she was amazing! She is easy to work with and helps you relax for the camera. She really knows what she is doing and takes awesome pictures. The photos were great. We could not have been happier with our experience.
Ms. Kay was essentially invisible during the wedding and reception capturing special moments of the events. She also created unique photos at our home and in the streets of Mt. Airy of our daughter Jamie Woods and her husband Chris Sullivan.
I just can't get over how amazing my daughter's photos turned out. Erica captured every moment in such a beautiful, natural manner. Looking at the photos makes me feel like I'm reliving Jamie Woods' and Chris Sullivan's wedding day. Thank you!
We had so much fun working with Erica Kay! She is professional, creative, talented, reasonable, and so easy to work with. We were planning our wedding from out-of-state, and I was so relieved by how accommodating she was! All of our photos turned out beautifully! Each picture perfectly captured the emotion of the day! You will absolutely love your experience with Erica and her team! #WoodsSullivanWedding
Very friendly. On time. Creative shots and angles in addition to the traditional photos to make the wedding pictures unique and representative of the bride and grooms values and personailties.
Erica Kay and her team did such a great job capturing my brother's wedding. They were fun yet professional throughout the entire day. They chose awesome locations around Columbus and all the photos turned out great! From the bridal party perspective, they chose some really cool and unique group photos of us with the bride and groom that added more to an already exciting day. I highly recommend Erica Kay!
Erica Kay and her staff did an amazing job of capturing our wedding so that we will truly be able to recount every part of the day. She and her staff brought an energy and enthusiasm that was contagious with my wife, myself, our bridal party, and our families. I would highly recommend Erica to capture any occasion that you will want to remember forever.
We were very happy with our experience with Erica! She did both our engagement photos and our wedding day. She is very creative, hardworking, and easy to work with. We had ideas in mind of locations and she definitely has the best eye for finding great spots for photos! She is very sweet and friendly, and was a pleasure to spend time with. Our photos are beautiful and we would highly recommend her for wedding photography!
Five stars to Erica Kay Photography for capturing every moment of Kelsey and Josh Ginnetti's wedding day from beginning to end. Her pictures are perfection and we could not be happier. She did a fabulous job on their engagement pictures as well. Highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend Erica! She and her assistant photographed my brother (Mark Anthony) and sister-in-law (Brianne)'s wedding last year at the Columbus Zoo. They were very organized and did a great job capturing wonderful moments throughout the day!
I can't say enough good things about Erica and her work! She did my sister and brother in law, Allison Blain and Michael Blain's, wedding day, and it was nothing short of amazing! She was wonderful to work with the day of, and even came to their house after to help them design the layout of their collage of canvas prints for their wall!! (Which also turned out amaazzingggg!!) I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer!
Erica is simply the best there is! My husband, Michael, and I got married in August, Erica did such an amazing job! From our first meeting, to our engagement session, to the big day and beyond she was so helpful, and made everything so easy. She captured every aspect of our special day, even with a not so helpful toddler running around. The photographs came out better than I could have ever imagined. Erica continued to guide us long after our wedding day was over, she made multiple trips to our home to help us plan a layout for our canvases, which we received as gift from her wedding registry, another awesome perk she provides. If you are looking for a photographer there is no one better than Erica Kay Photographer!
I was recently the best man of my childhood friends Mark and Briann's wedding, and Erica was their photographer. She was wonderful to work with and was able to put us "Guys" at ease. Even though it started raining during the photos, Erica and her team was able to keep things going smoothly and capture the moments. I would definitely recommend her.
Erica was great to work with! Our wedding at the zoo was beautifully captured; in spite of our rainy wedding day, she and her second photographer were able to adapt to changes in weather and venues and produce some truly memorable shots. On an important note, and especially since we didn’t have a wedding planner, our time with Erica was well spent meeting in advance to discuss not only which photos we knew we wanted but also what the flow and timing of each part of the wedding day would look like. On the actually day, it was great to not have to think about all of these moving parts and, as promised, rarely did it ever feel like we were being posed through each photo. The genuine emotions on our faces during the ceremony (especially mine) were definitely captured, as many who were there can attest to!
Erica and her assistant photographed my friends Mark Anthony and Brianne's wedding at the Columbus Zoo in April 2016. As a member of the bridal party, I can say that Erica was an absolute doll to work with. She was very flexible with posing and working in rainy conditions with zoo animals!
Erica was very personable and easy to work with, and you can really tell that she loves what she does. We held our wedding at the zoo, which was supposed to be outdoors, but rain ended up changing that plan. Erica was able to adjust to the change, coordinate with the other vendors, and help us with the transition as well. She captured a lot of the details that made our wedding "our wedding" and we're really appreciative that she took the time to go above and beyond during the planning of the wedding.
Erica photographed a wedding for our friends Mark Anthony and Brianne. She was incredibly helpful and made everyone feel at ease during the photo sessions. Her photographs came out beautifully and we can't wait to get some prints. I will definitely be recommending her to people for future events!
Erica was a fantastic photographer for Mark Anthony and Brianne’s wedding! It rained unexpectedly that day, so we had to improvise a few photo locations and she took it all in stride. The photos still came out sharp with the appearance of us being outside in the sun even though we were under an ampitheater overhang at one point. She also did very well in photographing the animals provided by the zoo and they were very hard to keep still. You’d never know from her photos that they were actually zooming around and trying to eat our shoes. Thanks so much for capturing my best friend’s perfect day so beautifully!!!
It's not possible to choose the best thing about working with Erica. Her organization is on point. She has questionnaires, meetings, etc. to make sure we're on the same page and to ensure that everything will be perfect. She has a great personality, allowing people to be comfortable and natural during pictures. She doesn't get too posey, instead she tries to get candid moments, which I preferred. The pictures of both our engagement and our wedding turned out awesome. I'm so glad we went with Erica for our wedding.
I first met Erica when she took the photos for my friend Christine and Travis' wedding. I knew the moment I saw Christine's photos that when I got married, Erica was going to be my photographer. Once booked, Erica made sure my husband and I felt special; from our AMAZING engagement photos, to helping us pick the perfect spot for our first look and wedding photos, and making me feel and look beautiful despite the 90 degree day, I couldn't have asked for more! Erica's personality put my whole wedding party at ease and she truly captured the spirit and love that I felt that day. I know my husband and I will forever cherish our wedding photos and thanks to Erica they are the best money we ever spent on our wedding. I can't thank Erica enough for what she did and what a great experience it was working with her!
XOXOXO
I have one word to describe Erica, AMAZING!! She did a wonderful job, and was incredibly easy to work with. Erica was so helpful in every aspect of our wedding, and did great working with our kids. I would highly recommend Erica Kay Photography to anyone looking for a photographer.
My husband and I decided to go with Erica after seeing her gorgeous photos from the wedding of a friend of ours. Erica is very professional and thoughtful through the wedding process. She has lots of tips and advice for planning and she was always fast at getting back to me with questions. Erica's specialty is truly capturing the whole scene. Her shots always include the beautiful setting as well as the people in it. She is an artist at heart snapping most shots from a distance to better capture the feeling of the frame. It was very different from a typical photographer.
My wife and I got married last August in Columbus, and Erica was recommended to us by two close friends. We actually asked them about their photographer after seeing how gorgeous their wedding photos were. Andrea and I had a great experience with Erica. She did our engagement shoot and walked us through everything all the way up to the wedding. She really captured beautiful candid moments from our ceremony and reception, and all the pictures of friends and family are of the highest quality. I especially appreciated how quickly she was able to get our pictures to us (both for the engagement and the wedding) and her availability to answer questions or remind us of important steps in the process.
Let me just start by saying that this review is long overdue and well deserved. I couldn't quite find the words to express how much we loved working with Erica, because she is so much more than a photographer. From the timeline of the day, to making sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, I am so grateful to have had her with me on my wedding day. You plan and prep for this day for months, and it goes by so quickly. Thanks to Erica, we get to relive every moment over and over again. And she doesn't just capture the standard pictures that any photographer can give you. She captures the little moments that aren't posed for and that are filled with so much love and joy. It's moments that you didn't even realize were happening at the time. And they wind up being your favorite pictures. I could go on and on about how talented and wonderful Erica is, and how she would hang from the ceiling if she had to to get the perfect shot (no joke, she climbed a tree during our engagement session to get a good picture - she's that amazing). I couldn't begin to thank her for the gift she has given us in our photos and I would recommend her a million times over!
Erica was amazing the day of my sisters wedding. She made me wish I had known her for MY wedding! Working with her and seeing her work during weddings is inspiring and she's amazing at what she does. She's got a real passion for her job and will make your wedding look and feel like the greatest wedding she has ever photographed! She is very professional and on point with her ideas and loves to try new techniques in order to make your wedding photos unique
What fabulous pictures! Erica Kay made my daughter, Jamie Hughes' wedding even more beautiful than I remember! The best part was that you barely realized she was there snapping away, and yet she captured all the important moments and more!
