Erica Swantek Photography

I knew Erica was the perfect photographer for us from the moment I read her bio! She was so much fun to work with and made my husband and I feel so comfortable! Not only is she amazingly talented, she has such a great personality that makes you feel at ease. I’m so grateful to have met Erica and I highly recommend her! Thank you Erica for giving us more than we ever expected and for the awesome experience of hiking around after our ceremony to get some incredible photos! -Michelle & Tim

Erica was so wonderful to work with and her photos are absolutely GORGEOUS. We loved her positive and relaxed attitude, which matched our own. She helped us plan for all of the moments we wanted to capture and provided helpful tips for posing, while also giving us room to be ourselves. She captured so many lovely candid moments throughout the day that are so fun to relive and get to see everything that was happening. With all of the uncertainties and plans changing around covid, Erica was great at communicating and willing to work with us as plans developed. We're so glad she was available and are so happy with the photos. We highly recommend her for your wedding or event!

When researching vendors in the Sisters, OR area, I came across Erica. We set up a phone call to get to know each other better and I could tell she was exactly what we were wanting for our wedding. We did our engagement photos with her, which ended up being a great experience since my husband and I are both awkward in front of the camera… all the pictures turned out PERFECT! We had her booked for our wedding in Sisters, OR 6/27/2020. When COVID hit, we didn’t know what our plan was but Erica let us know she would be with us no matter what. About a month before our date ended up switching to a small family wedding in Southern Oregon. Erica was soooo willing to change her plans and joined us COVID stay (socially distant, mask and all) and completely ROCKED it with our wedding photos. Our photos captured such a special day and we have LOVED sharing them with all our friends and family the could not be there with us. Erica is also so much fun and such a sweet person to work with. We will definitely be using Erica in the future and recommending her to everyone we know!

Erica really helped create and shape our on-mountain wedding. Her talent for great shots really caught the essence of our wedding and created some great memories. We couldn't be happier with our photos and our time with Erica!

We used Erica for our engagement pictures and she is absolutely incredible. She answered all of our questions and explained everything very well. She tromped through the snow with us and the pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I appreciate her always keeping in contact with us so we knew what was going on. I wouldn't trust anyone else in the central oregon area, Erica is the best!

Erica goes above and beyond in EVERYTHING she does. Of all the vendors we chose, she is the one I treasure the most because of her vision, the thoughtful questions she asked and her process for photographing our wedding. As soon as I found her online I knew she was perfect for us. She always communicates super quickly, provides updates and "sneak peaks" of the photos you're dying to see, and her prices were very reasonable. I hope that I can find another way to work with her again in the future. Can't say enough great things about her!

Erica was exactly the right choice for our elopement! We wanted to document our special day, as simple as it was, and the photos came out great. She made the effort to get to know us and captured who we are as a couple. She was fun to work with, even hopping a little creek in her Chacos to get the perfect shot. 😊 We highly recommend her!

Had a wonderful experience with Erica. She was very patient with certain family members that were hard to wrangle, and she just has an overall chill vibe. We got some super cool candid pics and the intimacy of our small wedding was really captured.

We had the best experience working with Erica to do our engagement photos. We met at Sparks Lake outside of Bend, OR and the scenery was beautiful. Erica did a great job capturing the beauty of the scenery along with creating a fun experience. She made us feel comfortable and had great ideas to help us look relaxed and playful. The photos also turned out amazing!

Erica was absolutely perfect on our wedding day! She made sure all our photos were taken in perfect lighting and really worked with us to make sure we got all the shots that were important to us! She had a huge questionnaire that took time but it makes sure that you get exactly what you want. Also, I really appreciated that she was always available for last minute questions or when we had a last minute trip planned to Bend she made a venue visit and did our engagement photos. She truly made our day so special and I can’t imagine having anyone else capture our day! She even worked to get shots with our shadow crazy Golden Retriever. I also really liked how we received our photos, they were divided by getting ready, ceremony, reception etc. so it made it so easy to sort and comb through the photos when showing friends and family. She really is 5 star material!

Erica was amazing! So easy to work with, and put my husband and I at total ease during both our engagement shoot, and our wedding photos. We weren’t looking for lots of posed portraits, and wanted to enjoy our party and have great candid shots. Erica understood that and delivered the most beautiful gallery of photos that we will cherish forever! I can’t recommend her enough.
