Working with Erika was such an awesome experience. I really appreciate her down to earth style, positive attitude, and calm presence. My wife and I met with her before the wedding...
to go over our vision and she executed it to perfection. Not only is she a great person to work with, but her work is phenomenal too! We are so lucky and happy to have had her there on our special day. Thanks Erika!
I know this review isn’t necessarily about Erika personally however I have to say she is so incredibly professional and kind. She is easy to work with and her personality makes you...
feel comfortable immediately. Erika quickly became one of our closest friends and vendors through the wedding planning process. She is always 100% on it, she is responsive and makes time to talk and answer any questions you have. She is timely and a true professional, helping you through each pose and making sure to get all of those Must Have shots.
Now, onto the work! Her photography is stunning. The pictures were beautifully done and timeless. She made sure to capture the essence of the day and provided the pictures within the estimated time frame. They were organized and I would highly recommend having a second shooter because not a single important moment or shot was missed!! We had so so many favorites to choose from and looking through the pictures you can see and feel the energy of those moments.
I can’t say enough positives about Erika and her team. She is a necessity for your big day!!
Erika was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was a topnotch professional and made us feel so special and comfortable. She shot our engagement and wedding photos, and my bridal...
session as well. We really loved working with her because she has the best personality and really has an eye for taking stunning photographs. She is always easy to reach and extremely accommodating. I spoke to a few other photographers when searching for the perfect photographer and after meeting with Erika, I knew she was the one! You will not be let down should you decide to go with Erika. She is worth every penny!!
You really want to be happy with your photographer above all else, as this is the one area that beyond the wedding day, actually captures your memories and moments for you to keep ...
forever. Erika is simply amazing. We planned our New Orleans destination wedding from Australia, for during Mardi Gras, which was no easy feat. Having great vendors like Erika, who are responsive, professional and really listen and care for what you are wanting is so important. Her assistant Jordan was also just as fabulous!
We love our photos, we loved Erika's personality, the actual day was amazing, and we especially loved that Erika made an opportunity for us to have a beautiful day after shoot, and shot our post-wedding crawfish boil.
At the end of what truly is a whirlwind, the most important thing was that we could trust in Erika - and she truly delivered. We can't thank her enough!
Erika did our engagement pictures and our wedding and we absolutely loved her! She is super creative and fun to work with! We haven't seen our wedding pictures yet, but if our enga...
gement pictures are any indication, they will be fantastic!
This review is a long-time in coming. My husband and I eloped in New Orleans on October 3, 2014. We reached out to Erika via email (found her through The Knot) and she was super ...
responsive. I loved her website and the persona she projected, as well as her photography style. She was able to give me tons of tips about locations for the ceremony as well as our photos afterwards. On the actual day, she was super punctual and got right to work. She was great to work with and we all had a fun time. The ceremony shots, posed shots of us as a couple, as well as fun shots were all spectacular. She sent me the full electronic versions of the photos to download within a few months of the ceremony. I LOVE my photos. We had rave reviews from our family and friends as well. Erika did a superb job capturing the day and worked relentlessly to make sure she got great shots. Would hire her again and again!
First and foremost, I was very pleased with my wedding photos. Our reception immediately followed our 11:30 am ceremony, so there was little time for Erika to take photos of our b...
ridal party and families. Erika did a fantastic job handling the time constraint and kept our large families (and us) in check. My husband and I were married in October- the busiest month for New Orleans weddings- but we had a link to our photos in less than two months. Prints and albums are quite pricey but the quality is exceptional. My only regret is that I did not give Erika a list of photos that I *really* wanted since I missed a couple of pictures (namely, one big photo with my Mom's side of the family). That being said, Erika did a great job capturing all of our guests and as far as I can tell, no one was left out. I should also mention that I have seen wedding pictures taken by photographers from large studios in and around New Orleans and the quality and level of artistry is noticeably higher. I plan to use Erika for future events!
I could not imagine my wedding without Erika! First of all, we had a destination wedding to New Orleans so I was completely lost as to where to start to find a vendor. Photography ...
was one of the more important items on our list and Erika more than exceeded our expectations! I also ended up using Erika's referrals for hair, makeup and flowers, all of which turned out great, so she was really a key part of making my dream wedding come true in so many ways! Erika spent time with me over the phone ahead of time to discuss planning and ideas for my big day. Her flexibility was something I appreciated most about working with her, as I tried to squeeze a lot into a single big day! Also, if it is important to you to have a photographer who pays attention to the little details that make a wedding day so special, Erika is the person you are looking for. She was so easy to work with, knew all the great spots around town to get wonderful photos, and captured such amazing shots! We were extremely happy with all of our photos and whenever we show our wedding pics to friends or family they always compliment the photographer! She really went above and beyond, we highly recommend her!
Erika is both professional and warm. She truly captures a couple's story by photographing all of the small details and moments that make up the fabric of your wedding day. I love...
d working with her and would recommend her to anyone. Her photos were just so touching and so beautiful.
We loved having Erika photograph our wedding! She was incredibly easy to work with, and we're delighted with our photos. When we said we wanted to take pictures around our neighbor...
hood, she came up with several great locations and made sure we could fit them all in before our ceremony. Erika had the perfect balance of direction and flexibility while shooting our formal photos, so we felt laid back, but knew we were getting all of the shots we wanted. She offered a variety of packages and didn't require a lot of extras like engagement photos or albums with our wedding photo package. She even sent a few of her favorite photos to us early, so we could incorporate them into thank you cards before the holidays. Now we understand why two of our recently married friends recommended Erika so highly!
I can not rave enough about Erika. She is unbelievably talented, as well as professional, sweet and wonderful to work with. Erika photographed my wedding this past November and she...
did a fantastic job. My photos were so beautiful and I am so grateful to have them! I would 100% recommend Erika!
Erika is awesome! I can not speak highly enough of her professionalism as well as her creativity. She captures candid moments and beautifully posed moments. She will work with your...
vision even if you don't exactly know what it is yet! She listens to you and gets to know your style which, in turn, lets her cater to your event with a beautifully personal touch!
We got our pictures back in less than a month and are BEYOND THRILLED! Erika handled a large crowd so well and had a blast doing it!
You need to set up an appointment to meet her, look through her gorgeous books and discuss your thoughts and what you like! She will help you through any questions and will not pressure you to do something she prefers over what you prefer. She's awesome!
So, I used Erika for both my engagement photos and wedding day photos and I could not be happier with my photographer selection! To start, Erika is a very friendly, easy going pers...
on to work with. She was very prompt in all of her communication with me and presented all of her photography options to me in a very non-aggressive or pushy manner, which I really liked. As a bride a lot of people are trying to force their services on you and Erika simply sold me on her personality and also her work, which she allowed me to see before I even selected her. Her easy going personality made taking pictures very fun. She does a great job getting you to do things you would normally do with your special someone, and capturing those moments. My wedding day was no exception. She arrived plenty early so she was ready to go at the time I had selected to start photos and was so organized throughout the entire day. I actually really enjoyed taking photos with her. My groom is not a picture person either and even he enjoyed being in front of the camera and really liked having her as our photographer. And that's just her services! The photos were AMAZING! I have yet to see my wedding photos, but I am in LOVE with my engagement photos and I am sure my wedding photos will be just the same! She does amazing work and is so awesome to work with. I honestly can't say enough good things about Erika and would absolutely recommend her to any bride!
Erika was so amazing to work with! She was open to everything we wanted. We're so happy with our pictures-- it's like reliving the day over again!
Erika is a great photographer. She was able to accommodate both our weddings in Malaysia and New Orleans, and captured the essence of 2 culturally different weddings. She is very p...
rofessional and gave us a lot of advice on how to enjoy our wedding and planning process. She also helped put us at ease during our engagement photo session. I highly recommend her to all my family and friends. You will not be disappointed.

We are so glad we chose Erika to photograph our wedding! She was very easy to work with throughout the entire process. This was especially important to us since we were planning ...
our wedding from out of state. Erika was always very prompt in responding to emails and answering all of our questions honestly. I dealt with many vendors who were not as helpful, so Erika was a breath of fresh air! Erika went out of her way to take many pictures throughout the wedding day and they are all beautiful. It rained after the ceremony and she still found ways to take amazing pictures under cover. We also really like the artistry and detail on her products. We would definitely recommend Erika to anyone planning a wedding.
Erika was great to work with. In the beginning, she was easy to get a hold of and always answered my questions promptly (this was especially important to me, since New Orleans was ...
a destination wedding for us). Her prices were very reasonable, and I feel like we got what we paid for. On the day, she was friendly, relaxed and had great insight as to what would make great photographs. We were really happy with the product, and we received our photographs promptly.

nd delivered just what we were looking for. Everything from our magical first look, reigning in our large families for group shots, and candids all came out perfectly.
We couldn't have asked for a better day & photographer- beautiful memories that we will forever cherish!
My husband and I LOVED Erika!! Since we were planning our destination wedding in New Orleans, I was nervous about finding a photographer from 1,000 miles away. I was truly blessed...
with such an amazing photographer.
From the very first phone call I made to Erika to the day my wedding photos arrived in my inbox, my wedding photography experience was first class. Erika and I discussed exactly the kind of photos I wanted incorporating all our venues throughout New Orleans. On the day of the wedding, Erika was so much fun to work with (and was very patient with my non-posy groom!) My family was so happy to have her there with us for every step of wedding day.
The day my photos arrived, I was totally overwhelmed with joy. They were even better than I could have imagined and I haven't been able to stop looking at them since! Erika captured the intimacy of our wedding with every cherished, candid moment. Erika is a true artist. Wedding photos are passed down through the generations and I am so blessed to have our special day documented with such elegance and artistry.
Trying to pick a photographer was agonizing for me, as I felt there were so many different styles and choices. When I found and interviewed Erika, though, I knew that she would do...
everything in her power to capture my wedding day without me having to worry a single second about it. My mind was completely at ease. We got a taste of her incredible abilities at our engagement photo shoot, where she accommodated us beyond what I could have hoped for. She showed up early to the pre-wedding goings-on and went right to work, asking my input when needed, but was otherwise completely at home doing what she does best. There were a lot of things on my mind during the wedding day, but whether or not my pictures would be alright was absolutely not a concern. The confidence she instilled in me was a fabulous respite from the other anxieties of wedding planning. All I can say is THANK YOU, ERIKA PARKER! We are so grateful and 110% in love with all our pictures.
Erika was phenomenal. She took the loveliest pictures, and was a joy to work with. She was interested in hearing my ideas, and provided a wonderful photography experience. I would ...
recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer (and a newborn photographer as well)!
I can't speak highly enough of Erika - she is an extremely talented photographer. As my husband and I looked through our photos we were blown away by how perfectly she captured th...
e entire day. We felt like we were re-living the joy and celebration of our wedding day as we looked at the photos.
Beyond just her talent, Erika has exceptional customer service, going above and beyond her job description. She was flexible and was willing to accommodate my requests. She responded quickly to e-mails and was always professional. She also had great personality and was a lot of fun to have around on wedding day!
If you're going to be a New Orleans bride, you can't do better than Erika!
Erika is such a wonderful photographer and I am so blessed to have had her fly all of the way to India for my destination wedding. Her pictures and album blew me away. She was able...
to amplify the typical bright colors of an Indian wedding and captured all of the best photos during our ceremony that depicted the joy and happiness during that time. Not only that, during her time off she took pictures of the beautiful city that we had our wedding and truly showed the beauty that India has to offer from the beautiful flowers to the unique people without my asking her to do so. Erika is very reliable and professional and took it upon herself to contact me several times to keep me on track and discuss my expectations thoroughly prior to the wedding and promptly providing me with my edited photos and album after the wedding. The best part about my experience with her is that I never once had to ask her to take certain photos during my ceremony because she was already there taking them. She was also cheerful and so pleasant to work with and always made me feel comfortable during the process no matter how odd the pose I wanted might have sounded. I highly recommend choosing Erika to take photos for your special day. She is very dynamic and experienced and can capture the beauty of any wedding with pictures that will remind you of how wonderful your wedding day was even when looking at them many years later.
I don't even know where to begin in my praises for Erika. I was familiar with her already because she photographed my sister's wedding in 2010 so I already knew how great she was. ...
This is the main reason that I decided to use her for my own wedding. From the very beginning when she is getting a feel for the type of wedding you are having to the very end when she sends you your CD she is very professional, but yet warm and friendly. Having her there the day of the wedding is so much fun. She is like part of the family. My pictures came out beautiful !!!! They truly captured our special day!!
When we were in the process of selecting our photographer, our biggest concern was not so much finding someone who could take quality pictures, as there seemed to be an embarrassme...
nt of riches to choose from in that department, but rather with how they would present themselves and interact with us and others throughout the wedding. We didn't want anyone to care more about the perfect shot at the risk of ruining a moment, or not be understanding of our Chinese heritage/culture and our differing rituals that required a lot more set-up pictures than I know a lot of photographers would prefer.
That's why after meeting with a few different photographers and their teams, meeting Erika was such a breath of fresh air. She was extremely personable and friendly from the get-go, always willing to work around our needs and requests, and completely understanding of our worry about photographers "getting in the way". She was a single photographer which we liked as we didn't want a team or brigade of picture-takers everywhere at our small wedding. Plus, from other reviews we knew she could take a fantastic photo and her price point was exceptionally reasonable so it was pretty much a no-brainer for us to choose her.
We couldn't have been happier with our selection. Even as an army of one, Erika had a picture for every big moment from the ready rooms through the reception, but was respectful enough that we never even noticed her during our ceremony and could focus only on each other as opposed to the constant snapping of a camera. She was exceptionally calm, polite, and patient during our admittedly demanding group photos with my relatives barking tens of different directions to her. And of course the photos came out beautifully with a literal thousands to choose from in both color and black and white. We even got this wonderful non-planned photo outside our venue next to a classic car that makes it look like we were getting married in the 1930's, except for a street cone that she was able to expertly edit and remove for us!
In addition to the wedding we scheduled engagement photos and a set of post-wedding bridals with Erika, both at extremely affordable rates. During both sessions we felt relaxed and at ease, and she even listened to some of our picture ideas that actually led to some of our favorite photos in both sets.
If you're looking for a wedding photographer who you can get along with, someone who will listen to you and take your needs and requests into consideration, someone who is friendly as they come, and of course someone who can take a ridiculously beautiful photo, then Erika is the girl for you. We truly cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Erika for adding even more special-ness to our special day!
Erika was so great to work with from when we first met with her before we decided on a photographer through receiving the gorgeous CD of photos only 6 weeks after our wedding. She ...
is such a friendly, happy, and energetic person and at the same time remained calm the entire wedding day. It is obvious that she loves her job. She was patient with me and all of my questions and even took time to meet with us a second time before the wedding when we were in town. She was there early on the day of the wedding and got started on the pictures while we were getting ready. She got all of the pictures we wanted and they are all amazing! Erika was the perfect choice for us and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!
I could not have asked for more from Erika on my wedding day. She was incredibly helpful and thoughtful leading up to the wedding and on the big day she not only took amazing photo...
s but also kept me smiling and calm. She is really easy to work with, incredibly thorough and a happy person which puts a smile on everyone's face. I highly recommend her.
When my sister decided on a destination wedding in India, we knew that we wanted to hire a photographer who could travel with us and whom we trusted. Having seen Erika's work, we w...
ere excited to invite her to be part of our festivities and photograph it all. Although weddings are all nerve-wracking, destination weddings can be even more so, particularly because it's so hard to predict how smoothly things will go. Indian weddings are really chaotic and super colorful, and we wanted to make sure we hired a photographer who could capture it in its truest sense. But Erika was so dedicated - she was up with us for the early morning ceremonies, up with us 'til late evening when we were dancing, and photographing everything in between as well! She never missed a beat. Of note, we were a little nervous about making sure that everything religious and culturally-significant was photographed in a respectful manner, and we especially wanted to make sure that she didn't miss anything that was particularly important to our family. Erika took the time to really understand those can't-miss moments before the wedding. The photos Erika sent us blew us away...we were able to relive every important moment in breathtaking color, taken with clear care and deliberations, and every time we look at them to this day, we all smile. Thank you for your terrific work and for trekking with us all the way across the world for my little sister's wedding! We wouldn't have had it any other way!
Erika is amazing! She is so incredibly sweet, talented and wonderful to work with. Erika has the best ideas and always knows how to get the perfect picture. Will definitely be u...

e I spoke with Erika I knew she was The One. Not only is she a fabulous photographer, she turned out to be an amazing wedding planner. All of her recommendations were excellent, and saved me a lot of sleepless nights. Erika was so warm and friendly, while being professional and sensitive to the needs of the bride and groom. On the wedding day she seemed to carry such an aura of serenity and optimism that it had a wonderful affect on all of us, especially my daughter and her fiance. She is indeed a gifted storyteller through the art of photography, and it shows in the fabulous photographs. Erika's fees were reasonable, she was professional and cheerful at all times, and her work is outstanding. Who could ask for more? Thanks Erika!

e person! Not long after that, we booked her!
A few months went by and I asked to set up some engagement pictures. It was so fun and a great experience! The pictures turned out wonderful and she gave easy directions for us people not used to being in front of a camera! She was extremely quick at getting those pictures to us so we could print some before the wedding.
We recently got our wedding CD and it is FANTASTIC! Some pretty funny pictures from the reception and I also enjoyed seeing some of the before ceremony action since I was unable to see all of that!
Overall, Erika was a pleasure to work with and I would highly, highly recommend her!!
My fiance and I had a very small ceremony with only our parents there and Erika was a very much welcomed additional guest! Erika captured our ceremony beautifully so that we can n...
ow share our day with extended family and friends! Her positive attitude and awesome personality really helped to add to the tone of the day. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! 100% recommend Erika for your wedding!
Erika was the photographer at my destination wedding in Tarifa, Spain (see article http://www.destinationidomagblog.com/2012/12/destination-wedding-spain-bringing-two.html). Not on...
ly does Erika take amazing photographs, capturing moments & memories of a lifetime, but she is also a consummate professional who knows how to communicate in the right ways at the right times. If you have the opportunity to work with her take it - she is truly a gem, and your photos will be AMAZING!
We did a destination wedding in New Orleans aboard the Creole Queen steamboat. Erika was absolutely wonderful. She met us ahead of time to photograph me getting ready, as well as...
every last detail that went in to the wedding (and I'm all about the details). Our wedding was in the evening and since the venue was limited for bride and groom portraits, Erika took my husband and me around New Orleans to get some great night shots. I ordered the disc of photos (well over 1000) and she gave me every picture so that I could choose which photos I liked. I horror stories about photographers picking the photos they deemed worthy of giving the bride and that was not what you get with Erika. Wonderful photos, great prices and a sweet woman!
Photography was the part of my wedding that initially made me the most nervous. I was so afraid I wouldn't find a photographer who understood my vision, communicated well and was...
within my price range. I cannot express how lucky I was to find Erika. She met all of our expectations and more.
Upon our first meeting, I realized that not only is she professional and knowledgeable as a photographer, but that she is a great listener and a sweet person. She wanted to hear exactly what we envisioned and got to know us as a couple in order to provide a service of the best quality tailored and customized to us. Throughout the next few months, we communicated from time to time on logistics, and she was always timely and responsive.
On the day of the wedding, Erika arrived at the Benachi House early, which I greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, while she and I were touching base upstairs, the worst possible thing you can imagine at a wedding happened. Her equipment was stolen. While no one can deal with this sort of situation well, Erika took it in stride and quickly began problem solving. At no point did she leave us feeling more anxious about the day to come. She ensured she had a plan and helped to keep us calm each step of the way. Even though she used a colleagues camera equipment, Erika took the most beautiful photos from our wedding. She caught some of the most incredible candid moments and there are dozens of photos I absolutely love.
A few weeks later, we met with Erika to re-do the "prep" photos we couldn't take on the day of. To be honest, this was the best scenario! We spent four hours taking creative photos and having a blast!
I strongly recommend Erika for your wedding or engagement photos. She is a joy to work with and the quality of her work is superb.
Our wedding was the perfect wedding and knowing that our photographer was amazing helped out with the stress level a lot. Erika is the type pf photographer you did not even know is...
at your wedding and the pictures come out beautiful. She is a fun loving person that loves what she is doing and it shows through her pictures. I just sat down and picked pictures for the album and it was so hard to pick because there were so many great pictures. Erika was early and stayed late to make sure she captured every moment! The first time we talked to her we felt the connection because she is so easy to talk to and she cares.I have experienced other photographers at other weddings and Erika is absolutely the best one out there! We can not wait to have children and have Erika as our photographer. Thank you Erika for all you have done!
Erika is beyond fantastic! She is incredibly communicative (we exchanged many emails, met in person and spoke over the phone multiple times), very flexible (she rolled with all of ...
my strange requests!) and just nice! Erika never stopped smiling, wrangled my grumpy niece into smiling, was polite...I just can't say enough good things about my experience!
Also, this is all before seeing the photos. My husband & I talked before our wedding about what we wanted on to have after the wedding and I really wanted great photos. Erika's are phenomenal! Everyone complements each photo!
This sounds crazy, but I feel that same joy and excitement when I look at the photos as I did on my wedding day. They honestly convey the love & joy everyone experienced and that's just invaluable.
We had a good experience with Erika! She was attentive to our interests and dedicated herself to doing a nice and professional job. She worked with us with regards to timing, meeti...
ng up with us in advance and adapting flexibly to unexpected twists.
Within the first few minutes of meeting Erika in person, I knew without a doubt that my stressful & agonizing search for the perfect wedding photographer had ended. She incorporate...
d my vision with her own artistic, creative & candid photography style which produced visually stunning images that I will forever treasure. She was always easily assessible & patient with my varitable plethora of questions/mini crises. Erika was not only extremely reliable & dedicated, but also took her own time for test shots at the venue prior to the event. I am accustomed to extensive research prior to deciding on someone to memorialize a major event of my life in photographs, however my experience with Erika & the outstanding work she delivered for my wedding eliminated that need when it came time for my newborn baby's first professional photo session. I feel fortunate to have found Erika & plan to use her as my family photographer for many years to come.
My sister in law didn't hire a photog for her wedding, and that was the biggest piece of advice she gave me- make sure to invest in a great photographer. So I searched around, read...
some reviews and looked through websites, and found Erika Parker. I am so glad I did! From the very beginning she was professional, friendly, and fun to work with. On my wedding day, she was on time, took every shot that I asked her to take, but also used her own creative flair and immense talent to capture some beautiful unique shots that I just adore. Everyone that sees our pics just raves about them! I don't know how she does it being just one person, but she caught me and my Dad walking down the aisle, my groom's face, my grandmother's beautiful expression as she watched...just everything. We drove around the city after the ceremony and had a fantastic time taking really cool shots in City Park and around French Quarter. It's the first time I've felt like I could be in a magazine! And above and beyond that, she was totally calm and collected the entire crazy day, and so much fun to have there! She's just amazing, you will not regret the decision to book with her!
There simply isn't enough I could say about Erika Parker Photography, which is why it's taken me so long to write this review.
Let me break it down for you.
Talent: Erika...
Parker Photography is Erika. She is her team. And as nervous as I was, as any bride would be, 'Will every precious moment be captured?!' I was beyond pleasantly surprised, I was blown away with how many pictures Erika was able to capture. She didn't miss a thing; every traditional shot you could image, as well as all my requests. I truly don't know how she did it. And the cherry on top? Every photo was breath-takingly beautiful. It's been almost a year since my wedding and I STILL have yet to pick through every photo in order to build my album; it seems simply impossible to choose only 50 or so from the hundreds taken.
Business: Erika Parker is not only a talented Photographer, but a trusted business woman. She's punctual, dedicated, passionate, reliable, and will keep on top of you like white on rice! ;) As an incredibly busy woman myself, I've truly appreciated Erika's patience, assistance, and followup throughout the wedding events up to her continued correspondence with me today - encouraging me to finish my album; which has been sitting finished and waiting on me for some time now (I'm telling you, it's simply IMPOSSIBLE to pick my photos!)
Personally: Erika ROCKS! She's adorable, FUN, eager, full of amazing ideas, joy, and excitement, and was a true blessing to work with. She truly works her ass off for her clients. Her top priority is her bride and everything her bride wants, and it truly, truly shows. I heart her.
HIRE THIS WOMAN!!!
I hired Erika to as the photographer for my wedding. She was the best vendor we had hired for our wedding. erika is extremely personable and was very flexible working with us fro...
m out of state. Erika showed up early for our wedding and was very professonal but gregarious which made her easy to work with. Her product came out amazing. We loved all of our pictures and returned the finished photos us promptly (about 4week out) I would highly recomend Erika to any bride getting married in the New Oreans area.
I loved working with Erika for my wedding. She has so many great ideas for cool and creative shots. She definitely listened to me and made sure to capture all the most important ...
moments. The pictures were posted online and sent to me on a disc about one month after the wedding, and they look AWESOME! I would definitely recommend working with Erika.
From the minute i met Erika i loved her. She was so incredibly easy to talk to. I also loved how unique her photos were and felt like she knew exactly what i wanted. Erika took our...
engagement pics and i coul dnt pick which ones i wanted bc they were all so great. Im in the process of picking out the pictures from my wedding that will go in my album and it is so difficult. I love them all. Overall i didnt feel like Erika was just my photographer i felt like she became my friend. very very highly recommended!
