Erika Tuesta Photography

ovided a clear questionnaire to help identify what was important to us. This allowed us to make sure we were on the same page of what we were expecting/how each event would go. Timely - she took photos for our three day wedding weekend. Each day always arrived ahead of schedule, helped to ensure we kept to a specific schedule during the events to ensure we got all of our dream shots + still able to have a blast with our friends! Talented - she has an amazing eye for lighting, photo arrangement and is very quick! This was so helpful when getting big group shots with our friends and family. Each photo she captured is so stunning. All of our guests have complimented how beautiful our photos came out! I cannot recommend enough to book Erika for your wedding, engagement photos or any photo shoot!!! We cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

gs (large to micro). I contacted Erika about 3 months before my wedding, as everything was last minute. I must have changed the venue, guest count, and just about everything five times. Erika was always on the ball, extremely understanding and flexible. She offered me help, talked to me on the phone, answered all of my questions before I even signed the contract. Fast forward to our engagement shoot. While my husband and I are no models, Erika made us feel comfortable, laughed off our awkwardness and directed us perfectly (which we definitely needed). She whole heartedly accepted us for our personalities and by the end of our engagement shoot, we felt we truly had a friend in our photographer. On our wedding day, Erika and her assistant put Alec and I 100% at ease. We both felt equally comfortable with them, felt their passion for their work and genuineness all day long. When I went through unexpected issues, Erika was right there with me. She shared the ups and downs of a wedding day not as a vendor, but as a friend. Not to mention all of our pictures turned out incredible! She danced the dance of allowing the bride and groom to enjoy the night while also ensuring that all of the moments on the timeline were captured beautifully. I was already planning the next events that I could book Erika at before the wedding was over (Maternity etc). Booking Erika was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, and I would recommend her 1,000x over. Just do it, you will not be disappointed!

brings fun behind the camera and makes it comfortable even if you aren't a picture person (my husband). The wedding timeline was slightly off on our wedding day, she made everyone calm, quickly reworked the timeline and still captured everything so beautifully. She captured everything so authentically and now we have the most BEAUTIFUL memories to hold on to. I have had so many compliments on the photos and would hire her time and time again!! Photos are by far the most important part of your day because after everything is over this allows you to relive the day over and over again. She captured all the warm and love that we felt on this day and it shows in all the photos. I can't stress enough how important your photographer is and she is by far the best! Thank you for the most beautiful photos!! XO Kendall & Cole

She made it fun and easy. I would not even hesitate to hire her! She is magic.

work on her website, and were drawn to her style to begin with. We then spoke to her and clicked immediately. We were nervous about not having met her or done a shoot prior to our wedding date, but we do not regret anything. She is so detail oriented, and takes the most beautiful pictures. She made us feel comfortable taking pictures. We also got a second photographer, Maria, and she was great. We are also super happy with her very affordable rates. Erika captured our special day perfectly and we will be able to look back and enjoy her pictures for a long time.

hing. We had a small court wedding here in Miami and she captured the best of us and our parents. We are planning a big celebration later next year in New York and we can’t wait for her to capture those memories.

e memories she has given us. She is fun and organized at the same time, always available if we needed any help what so ever. I couldn’t be more happy with our pics!

you were an excellent wedding photographer, but these photos just exceed my expectations and more. Thank you so much for capturing our best memories. Working with you has been a the best experience ever, and I feel so lucky to have found a wedding photographer who's so organized, detail oriented, fun and friendly as you. Chris and I get to cherish every moment of our wedding because of your beautiful work. Don't look any further, HIRE Erika for your wedding, I promise you will love the entire experience.

ally, my husband and I weren’t sure about having engagement pictures for our wedding. Eventually, we decided we should give it a ‘shot’ because we liked the packages Erika put together, and we thought it would be good to meet her before our wedding day to know what it is like to pose for pictures. Erika helped us feel relaxed while also having a great time. We LOVED all of our engagement pictures. Then, because of the pandemic, we had to delay our big wedding and decided to elope. Erika changed our contract date for our postponed wedding, but we booked her again for our elopement. Our elopement pictures were BEAUTIFUL! She sent a sneak peak so quickly, and within a few weeks of being married, we received all the shots of the elopement. They were all perfect! Our elopement was just the two of us, so the pictures were important to be able to send to our parents, family, and friends who couldn’t be there. They helped us relive the day and allowed our loved ones to see how special the day was. Throughout the whole process, despite all the changes and add-ons, Erika has been organized, understanding, relaxed, and took the most beautiful pictures. I am excited I get to look forward to having her capture our postponed celebration with all of our friends and family in the future. She is a MUST book.

ika based on her art, her professionalism, communication and overall, her personality. When planning for your big day there are so many things to consider and to take care of. Erika helped greatly by being very quick to respond to any and all questions we had and on top of that provided us with a wedding day time-line which was something that my wedding planner didn’t provide. Ladies, THIS MATTERS! Having a professional photographer that can direct everyone in a nice way and make sure everything is timely and organized MATTERS! The day of the wedding she was on time and very professional. She  was able to get everything done very quickly and smoothly. I gave her a huge list of photos that I wanted to have taken and they got through the whole list so efficiently. It was so great to have two photographers on our day as well. Erika’s assistant was also very nice and also very professional. We also wanted a video done for our wedding and she was able to provide us with the great suggestion of using Neuen Films which followed the same style we were wanting. The two have worked together before and it was evident. They communicated very well and between the two teams, I feel like our day and night was well documented. Overall, I would highly recommend Erika. She’s got a great personality, she’s very professional, she’s great at her art and she works very very hard. For hours they never stopped to take a break or missed a moment. Getting our photos back truly allowed us to relive one of the greatest days of our lives and we could not be thankful enough for all of the time and effort that she put into our wedding day and the post processing of our photos. Thank you so much, Erika, from myself and our whole family. We will love our photos forever!

your wedding planning, flexible with all of your photo needs the day of the wedding, organized to ensure that all your must-have moments are captured, and is overall very courteous and a joy to collaborate with. And for those with a darker complexion, she had a great knack for capturing women of color! I highly recommend her to all future brides!

g and even gave me recommendations for makeup artists when I was struggling to find one. On the day of the wedding, she came on time to take pictures of everything we wanted before the ceremony. She was always on top of everything which was very calming for me! Even when my ceremony was delayed and the timeline was messed up, she took charge and made enough time for pictures. While taking pictures, she made me and my husband VERY comfortable. Instead of just posing, she facilitated moments for us to enjoy while she captured it on her camera. She's cute, funny, and assertive which is a great combination for a wedding photographer! The angles and colors used to capture all the moments are beautiful. So so she was part of our special day and gave us a beautiful way to remember it!!!

ion to capture the most beautiful photos. Her photography captures real moments and real emotions. On top of that, she is super sweet and genuine. We LOVE Erika!! We hired her for our wedding as well and the photos are a dream. She told our story so beautifully and captured every smile, every dance, and every laugh. Her assistants are just as amazing as her so if you are having a large wedding, there is nothing to worry about. We would recommend Erika for anything and everything! From casual photos on the beach to our wedding day, she is the BEST! We can’t thank you enough Erika!!!! Xox

our engagement photos. Even though we were nervous, she made it such a fun experience. For our wedding day, she was very flexible and captured those details that, as the person getting married, can just get lost in all the celebration. We are so grateful for the moments she captured!

nely interested in getting to know our story and our vision as a couple. All I really wanted where the most sweetest candid moments when it came to my pictures, as to me those are the moments I wanted to capture forever... and she delivered this in more ways than I could imagine. Not only is she professional and her work is beautiful, she was able to handle my crazy, loud, all over the place family (lol not an easy task for the faint of heart).

e amazing

photographer and got many compliments. Everyone loved her. I can’t wait to see all of our pictures, she sent us sneak peaks right after the wedding. I can’t recommend Erika more!

Erika if you want the best photographer in Miami!! I’m so happy we did.

otography and editing style. She was always available for questions and suggestions. On our wedding day time was a little tight but she really made it work and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. I can't wait to see how the wedding photos came out! Thank you Erika!!!

amera. We had a horrible experience with the first photographer that we hired but Erika made the entire process wonderful and fun. I would highly recommend her to any future brides looking for the perfect photographer.

ime it would take to capture each part of our wedding. Her wedding photography questionnaire left us feeling reassured that we were both on the same page for the style of photo we like and poses/shots with family and friends. We really appreciated the direction she gave for posing, yet still allowing us to be candid. We felt extremely comfortable around her and I think it showed through in the photographs. Her photography style is absolutely beautiful, the lighting is to die for! We've only seen a sneak peek so far, but we absolutely love how they photos turned out and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends.

ng all the photo shoots. My wife and I would highly recommend her for your next photo shoot/wedding. Erika, we cannot thank you enough!

had an engagement shoot which was in the freezing cold of NYC, bless her heart. She was so excited and had planned out exactly where she wanted everything done. She was detail-oriented and creative, focusing on every single shot she took. Not to mention just a joy to work with which makes a photoshoot that much easier. I am very camera shy and she made it very easy for me and my husband to feel relaxed and just enjoy. She also was our photographer for the wedding, which was a bit crazy as weddings can be. Erika was extremely patient with all the wedding staff and guests, helping out more than necessary. Both my husband and I were so very grateful to have had her there, she truly helped make the night a success. The pictures are AMAZING of course, we will cherish them for ever. If you want not only a great photographer, but a great person that genuinely cares about you and your event, hire Erika.

n mind. I am in love with your style and the way you captured the real us. Can't wait for our wedding day!!!

ime and she made sure we enjoyed our wedding. The photos came out AMAZING!! we couldn't have ask for more. We have our wedding album displayed in our living room, we love our pictures so much.

g seem so effortless on our special day. The photos look absolutely amazing!! We could not recommend Erika more.

and the pictures come out great!

ific details or group pictures we wanted her to capture, and whether we preferred any specific locations for our pictures to be taken. The day of the wedding, Erika so perfectly captured those special details and moments that my husband and I will cherish forever. She made sure that my husband and I enjoyed our wedding day to the fullest and was by the far such a sweetheart with all our guests. Even after the wedding, we still had some of guests asking who was our photographer and commenting about how nice she was. Everyone that we show our pictures to, all agree that she did such a beautiful job. There is not one photo that my husband and I are not absolutely in love with

Erika at my side for my special day. I would definitely recommend her for weddings.

her beautiful work. And very good direction on the day. Thank you so much!

g job. She was insightful and helpful in many different ways. The pictures came out beautiful, elegant and creative. I highly recommend her to other brides.
