Erica Streelman Photographer

Erica had taken pictures for my sister and sister in laws wedding! She takes perfection to the next level! She makes you feel so comfortable as a couple and hypes you up along the way! She guides you through the whole photo shoot with a calm demeanor! She captures every detail from start to finish! Her light and airy pictures create such a beautiful and elegant feel to them! She truly goes above and beyond! You wouldn’t want anyone else but her to make your wedding photo dreams come true!

Where do I even begin?! Erica is AMAZING as both a photographer and as a person. As a wedding coordinator, I worked on a styled shoot with Erica a few years ago and fell in love with her work. I thought it was true art and the way she shot in film was so unique & pure. When I got engaged, I knew I wanted Erica and her team to capture my wedding. Erica was amazing throughout planning, from helping me find a fabulous location to shoot our engagement shoot (which was published by Style Me Pretty!!) to being so patient and working with me as we had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic. Erica was there as a friend and an encouraging voice when I needed one. When it got to the big day (finally!) we seriously could not have been happier we selected Erica as our photographer. She made the day magnificent and I am forever grateful for her. We received amazing sneak peeks the week after the wedding and were blown away by the images. They were everything I could have dreamed of and more. When we received the full album back I cried, overjoyed by the love and special moments she captured for my husband and I that we will cherish forever. We cannot thank Erica enough and highly recommend her to everyone looking for a wedding photographer. You will love her like we do, we promise!

I can't say enough great things about Erica. Let's start from the beginning...she was super responsive when I reached out to her about using her as our wedding photographer. She promptly set up a FaceTime meeting with me where we got to know each other a bit and chat about mine and my then fiancé's vision for the wedding day. I quickly knew she was the one (no pun intended)! Throughout the planning process, Erica remained responsive and helpful. During the wedding day and night, she was such a positive and calming presence. She kept things light and fun and remained on schedule without making it seem like we were rushing. She made me and my now husband feel very comfortable. When the pictures came back, we were FLOORED with how great they turned out. I told her I was a bit worried about looking washed out in the photos and she completely adjusted the finished products to not look washed out at all. A button on the back of my wedding dress fell off the morning of and I was super worried about how that would look in the pictures. Without even asking Erica, she edited the shots of the back of my dress to have a button where it was missing. I'm telling you, I can't rave about her enough!! Her spirit is beautiful and her work is beautiful. If you can't tell by now, I 100% recommend her.

As a bride, you need to determine what the most important aspect of your wedding is (besides marrying the love of your life). For me, the most important aspect of our wedding was photography. I have always loved photography, and had an idea of my likes and dislikes when it came to photography. I had some criteria that I hoped I would find in a wedding photographer. I have always followed a lot of photographers on social media, and I have a lot of different styles that I like. I spent weeks researching photographers. I made an excel spreadsheet (slightly crazy, I know, but helpful) comparing the photographers that contained important information such as price, packages, etc. I came across Erica during my research. Her Instagram feed was beautiful. There were many eye catching images that led me to want to review more. I went over to her website, and found even more beautiful images. I knew I had to contact her to find out more. Erica was friendly, communicative, and professional from the moment I contacted her (three of my most favorite qualities in a potential vendor). She sent me her information, and gladly sent me full wedding galleries to review upon request. Tip for brides: always ask to see full wedding galleries so you can see the photographers work in its entirety. Anyone can post a beautiful Instagram worthy photo on their feed, but what about those family photos that you’ll cherish forever? You don’t want a photographer to skimp out on those. Erica sent me a full gallery and I was SOLD. Every image was beautiful. You could tell she puts her heart and soul into every single image she creates. Her film work and digital work is stunning. We had the opportunity to have an engagement session with Erica before our wedding. We loved getting to know her, and spend time with her. I expressed some things that I was self conscious about, and she was so attentive to that. The photos from our engagement session were so beautiful, and unlike any other session my husband and I had done before. She was such a joy to have around on our wedding day. She has such an ease about her that you can’t help but know everything will be alright. She is so couple oriented that you feel like royalty when you are being photographed by her. She had an amazing team with her. You spend the most time with your photographer on your wedding day that you want someone who brings you joy and a sense of peace and happiness. We absolutely loved all of our wedding photos. Each image was created with such care and looking at it brought me back to the day I looked at that full wedding gallery—she produced a beautiful collection where each and every image was created with purpose. I am so happy with our wedding photos. Erica is your best teammate and biggest supporter. She is the person you want with you throughout the entire process. In her, I found a new lifelong photographer, and more importantly, a friend. I hope to continue to have sessions with her to capture more of life’s important moments. Hiring Erica as your wedding photographer will be the best decision you make in securing wedding vendors. I highly recommend Erica!
