Erika was the photographer for my older sister's wedding in 2016 and I knew I wanted to hire her for mine too, and she did not disappoint! She is so bubbly, friendly, caring, and take charge. She got AMAZING shots everywhere we went and even captured great candid shots as well. I love all of my photos so much; I couldn't be happier with them. I can't recommend Erika enough!

I had booked Erika for my wedding and was very excited to have her. I tried contacting her for a few weeks in a row for a copy of my contract because I wanted to pay my remaining balance. I hardly heard back from her and when I did she said "She would let me know" or "follow up later." After not hearing back for a while I finally got an email saying she was simply cancelling on me. When I first booked her she explained that she would have somebody take her place if she had to cancel, yet didn't offer it upon cancellation. She didn't seem to have any sympathy for me and when I asked for my deposit back she explained the contract which I never received and she supposedly lost saying that I wouldn't get it back. I did not cancel, she cancelled on me only 2 months before my wedding. I would hate for this to happen to any future brides so I just say to be cautious, because I am now out $500 that she is keeping to herself even though she cancelled on me.

Erika you are amazing! I met with her more then a year before my wedding and she was able to work with my budget and give me exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. Our wedding was 5/15/15 and she was amazing, she kept me calm, took control when I was getting frustrated with certain family members and made sure my husband and I stayed in the moment. I can not wait to see my photos! Thank you so much for making our day special! Mr. & Mrs. Hall

Erika does an amazing job of making you feel comfortable through all of the pictures. We hired her because of the awesome work she did at a few of our friend's weddings and we could not have chosen a better photographer! Her work speaks for itself!

Erika is GREAT! She did our engagement pictures and will be doing our wedding later this year. She is very easy to work with, professional and prompt in her responses. Our pictures came out beautiful and we got a ton to choose from! She spent a great amount of time with us making sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Not to mention she was very affordable! So happy with our choice, can't wait to have her shoot our wedding!

My husband and I absolutely LOVED Erika...as did our whole bridal party! She was so much fun to work with and very reasonable in her pricing. The quality of the photos were absolutely WONDERFUL and she went out of her way to make our day wonderful! During the wedding reception Erika had come up to me saying that it was going to storm(which I was not aware of)...with her telling me this and getting us all outside to do our sparkler exit that we wanted to do so badly...we were able to get some WONDERFUL pictures RIGHT before it started storming! I was very greatful of this because she KNEW i wanted those sparkler pictures! She was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone! :)

I think the best part about having Erika as our wedding photographer is going to be that we trust her. She did our engagement pictures, and they were phenomenal! We know that the day will be such a relaxed atmosphere because she won't be asking us to stop what we're doing and get in a line to take a pic. Erika puts me, as a bride, totally at ease about what could be one of the most stressful parts of my day.

Erika Rice did an outstanding job!!! she was so easy to work with through the whole process. She would send me email reminders of things that would help me with the planning process. She was willing to work with any unique requests you have (unlike every other photographer I talked to before meeting her) She helped me to remember things the day of the wedding when my mind was frazzled. She hopped in when she noticed something wasn't being taken care of. All of the pictures I have seen so far I am SO in Love with. I can't wait to get the rest! She is not only very professional and exceptional at what she does, but she is a lovely person to work with. Having her at my wedding put ease on my mind. It was even hard to say good bye to her when the night was done. I 100% recommend her to take care of your photography on your big day, for she truly is amazing.

Erika did our engagement photos as well as our wedding. All of the pictures are wonderful but the fact that she stepped up the day of the wedding and helped out with things made her an invaluable part of our wedding day! I love Erika and I really don't know what I would have done without her at our wedding! Thank you so much!

Erika did an amazing job with our wedding pictures. She was very personable and willing to work with any idea we offered for pictures. Will definitely use her for future pictures.

Erika was an excellent photographer to work with! I found her information through theknot, and knew the instant I met her she would be great to work with. I was so glad my first instinct turned out to be true. She came to the rehearsal so she could meet the bridal party and become familiar with the location setting. She was the right balance of friendly, fun, business-like and take-control with taking photos. She dealt very well with our large family pictures and one-on-one time!
