Erin McGinn Photography

If I had to pick one word to describe our experience working with Erin, it is wow! After we picked our wedding location, Erin was the first vendor we booked and it was truly one of the best decisions we made. Not only is Erin a phenomenal artist, she has a breadth of knowledge about planning a wedding and has lots of Newport / surrounding area recommendations (restaurants, bars, activities, venues, other vendors... the list goes on!), that she happily shares with you. Despite being in Chicago while planning a Newport wedding (without a planner!), I rarely felt stressed because we had such an awesome team, and Erin was truly the backbone of it. Erin quickly became my go-to person for advice and recommendations. She is thoughtful, accommodating, and very punctual. She is truly giving of her time and self and does her best to make sure your day is everything you dreamed of and more. Not only did we love working with Erin, other vendors love working with her too. I can't recommend Erin enough. Book her, you will be so glad you did! Thank you Erin, XO!

Erin immediately made both me and my husband feel totally at ease, which is quite the feat considering how much he hates posing for photos! She and her assistant were never obtrusive and it seemed like one of them was always nearby if there was an impromtu group photo we wanted to capture. In addition to being calm and personable, she is also an incredible artist with a fantastic eye for color and composition. The wedding took place at my parent's property and Erin perfectly captured the magical garden I remember from my childhood. We couldn't be happier with her work and we recommend her without reservation.

Erin is an absolute dream. I am in tears looking at the preview of our wedding pictures. She is fantastic at arranging large wedding parties (16 bridal party members total) and has the best ideas of how to use the unique areas of any venue space. My wedding day started cloudy (which she came into beaming about how great the lighting was going to be-easing my anxiety instantly). And then it started to POUR and the thunder started. She was right out there with umbrellas and captured stunning moments of my entrance under a crew of staff members shielding me from the rain-celebrity style, ha! During the reception she was on her game with dancing and brought us out to get some more pictures after the rain had stopped-which ended in pictures under an amazing rainbow. She never stopped smiling, she never stopped easing my worry, and she was right. Thank you Erin!

She was the All-star Vendor of the Wedding. From helping my wife finalize decisions to managing various situations she really went above and beyond. Oh and then she takes and captures the most beautiful moments with her photos. She is truly gifted as a photographer. Stephanie and I both feel incredibly lucky to have chosen her to preserve the day the photos she captured are beyond amazing.She is also a genuinely cool person. The other reviews stating that she integrates effortlessly into the day and with the bride and groom during some truly special moments are right on. She was a consummate professional and I cannot be more effusive. If you are lucky enough to book her rest easy in that decision.

Erin was an AMAZING photographer--we feel so lucky to have worked with her for our wedding! Erin is a such a genuinely nice person to be around and is incredibly talented. My husband and I both felt a little awkward and uncomfortable going into our engagement shoot, but after spending a little time with her, she really put us at ease. Because we felt so comfortable in the engagement shoot, we felt really at ease on our wedding and were confident that we would love the photos. It almost felt on the day of like she was just another friend or family member hanging out with us as we got ready and did our first look. We are so happy to have such beautiful photographs from our wedding day. We really feel that she captured all of the most special moments. There were many times I had no idea I was even being photographed during the ceremony, cocktail, and reception. I felt that she did such a great job capturing everything, but making everyone around her feel comfortable and she was never at all disruptive. I really could not recommend Erin enough. If you are considering her, you should definitely go for it!

Erin was absolutely amazing to work with. She was so professional and helped answer all of our questions before our big day. She is one of the nicest people you'll meet and her sweet personality kept us as ease during the wedding day. We fell in love with her images before we even booked her. She is so incredibly talented! We knew we would love our engagement and wedding photos but were blown away by how gorgeous they came out. We can't thank her enough!

Erin is an absolutely amazing photographer and it was a pleasure working with her. From my first encounter with her, she was warm and professional. She was helpful in planning the schedule for the day and she did an amazing job of capturing every moment of our wedding (without ever being in the way). I was at east our entire wedding day knowing that she was in control. She is a true artist and is unbelievably talented. We were blown away by our engagement and wedding albums and are so happy that she was able to capture our day! Thanks Erin!

There are no words to describe how amazing Erin is to work with. Not only are her photos breathtaking but she is the kind of person you love to be around and work with. Erin exceeded all expectations for our engagement photos and wedding photos. I love her so much we are going back to take more pictures with her post wedding! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Could go on forever about her work!

Erin was the perfect wedding photographer for my wife and I. She was warm, sweet, and never pushy. We barely even noticed her on the day (in the best way possible). We felt completely comfortable around her. And the best part is that the photographs she takes are gorgeous. They're authentic, romantic, intimate, and crystal clear. I'm incredibly happy with the photos from our wedding. If I had to hire another wedding photographer, I'd pick Erin again for sure!

I'm super late in writing this, but I couldn't NOT post a raving review for our photographer Erin. Hands down, Erin was the most professional, talented, and fun vendor we worked with for our October 2016 wedding. From scheduling our engagement photos to receiving our wedding album, Erin was incredibly friendly, helpful, communicative, and reassuring. Thinking back to when we were deciding on a location for our engagement shoot, Erin asked what we typically do on a weekend afternoon. We said, "Uh...drink craft beer?" Erin arranged for us to do the shoot at Grey Sail Brewing in Westerly, RI -- which was a complete blast! The beer samples definitely helped us loosen up, but Erin's awesome personality made us feel like we'd known her for years. When it came to the actual wedding day, Erin was a complete pro at helping us with the schedule, wrangling unruly friends and relatives, and capturing our intimate moments. I thought there was no way we'd have the albums in time for Christmas, but Erin was on top of it and helped us lay out our big album and two smaller ones for each set of parents. We've gotten SO many compliments on our photos and the albums themselves -- they're crazy high-quality. Bottom line, Erin is amazing and we're so, so happy we were able to work with her. Thanks Erin! :-)

Erin was a dream come true to work with. She made us feel comfortable from the first time we talked to her over Skype and that continued to be true throughout our entire planning process. Erin was always available to answer questions, provide insight and give recommendations whenever I asked for them. Her artistic eye and experience was invaluable to me throughout planning. She was also so responsive and happy to help in any way she could. My entire wedding party and family was immediately comfortable with her at our wedding and I think that just proves more how great she is! We've seen a few preview photos and they are beyond amazing - I can't wait to see the rest. I would very highly recommend Erin and am sure I'll see her again at some of my bridesmaid's weddings!

What can I possibly say about Erin that all of these other reviews didn't? Probably nothing... she is just as wonderful as every one of the reviews would lead you to believe, almost a photography fairy godmother of sorts. Truth be told, I am a wedding and event planner myself. When it finally came time to plan my own wedding, Erin was the only photographer I met with. Having seen my fair share of photographers, I knew that Erin was the right one for me. Between her calming demeanor, background in wedding planning, and AMAZING eye; Erin has been my dream photographer for years. Executing weddings for a living, I knew I would be on edge about all of the details that day. From panicked e-mails about the color of the groomsmen's tuxes vs. the bridesmaids dresses, to rescheduling the engagement shoot because of my crazy schedule... Erin has been nothing short of a godsend. Do yourself a favor and book vendors, like Erin, that will help you enjoy the day... it goes by too quickly to have to be worried about everything :)
