Erica and Antonio were absolutely wonderful to work with, and so much fun to have with us on our wedding day! They work as a power team and capture the most beautiful photos!!
We ...
knew we were in good hands all day, and our photo sessions went smoothly and were such a joy to do!
We had our engagement photos taken at the Ohio Renaissance Festival, and it was definitely one of the most fun experiences we had during our entire wedding planning journey.
I cannot recommend them enough!! You'll be in excellent hands!
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 i...
nsight 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 t...
hat 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 righ...
t 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 an...
d 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 C...
oney 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!!!

ky 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!

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!

ful, 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 bel...

gs 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.

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’...

nning 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!

Looking back on our amazing photos, I can’t wait until the next life adventure she can capture for us!

eather 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!
