Erin Schmidt Photography

ionalism, she's the whole package. I wish she lived closer so I could use her for all my professional photos!! She's not the cheapest, but that's because her product is top notch quality. Trust me - she's worth it. All our friends and family agree that her photos were absolutely amazing.

l times leading up to wedding to ensure we had a good plan/timeline to ensure we would be able to capture everything that was important to us. Her calm demeanor made for such an easy and stress free wedding day. We asked her to capture the moment instead of mostly posed pictures and she delivered just that. Looking through our wedding album is like living the day again! Not only did she deliver more pictures than anticipated but they were all perfect! We absolutely loved working with Erin!

the chaos of the big day itself! We are so happy we were able to book her for our wedding!

and natural on our wedding day, and during our engagement pictures. She captured the most special moments from our day- big and small- and we are in love with every photo from our wedding!! We will cherish our beautiful photos forever, and our experience working with Erin was better than we could have hoped for. We cannot recommend her enough!!

fortable every step of the way. During our engagement pictures and on our big day, she made us feel at ease, capturing every precious moment beautifully. Erin has an incredible eye for detail and creativity, turning ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. Our photos exceeded all our expectations. We can't thank Erin enough for her amazing work—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated photographer!

vice I got was "choose someone you want to spend your wedding day with," and Erin is 100% the best choice.

ay (incredible!!) and every time we look through them, we find a new cherished photo. They are ALL gems. And we got them SO fast. We got married on a somewhat gloomy, gray January day at Planterra and somehow, she NAILED the lighting and you would have never known. She captured the snowfall, beautiful candid laughing moments, helped us stage perfectly posed photos, and didn’t miss a single detailed shot - from our pet napkins to every single detail on the cake, etc etc she nailed it and captured everything! Her presence on the most important day of our lives was such a joy to be around! She made us laugh, calmed us down, and felt like a true friend. Make sure you like your photographer as a human first and foremost, because you’re going to spend a lot of time with them! And there’s no way you could NOT love Erin! For our engagement photos, she traveled all the way to Chicago (thank you soo much for this) and walked with us all around the city and took gorgeous home photos with our pets, which we’ll cherish forever. She was patient, helpful, and made us feel comfortable. Erin- thank you SOO much. We will definitely be returning customers as our family hopefully grows one day : )

ne for our wedding day! Would highly recommend Erin! Her photos are beautiful.

come together in the hectic-ness of our wedding day. We have so many beautiful photos that capture our day perfectly!

s went off schedule. Her presence was calm and comforting, so much so that she managed to override our tendencies to flinch whenever a camera is present! We could not stop smiling when looking through our photos - everyone looks beautiful, the moments are captured perfectly, and somehow no one looks sweaty despite the 95+ degree heat! Grateful to have had her with us during our classically-chaotic Indian wedding festivities. You can't go wrong with Erin.

preciative of their talent in capturing the essence of our services.

that resulted in muddy walkways, and Erin jumped into action to go above and beyond to make our day incredible. I'd like to thank Erin for physically hand-washed the bottom of my wife's wedding dress minutes before walking down. I mean who does that!? Needless to say, Erin is the best of humanity, and someone who I assure you can trust to enjoy your time with, capture your day beautifully and will continue to put her clients needs first. We are so grateful for Erin!

beautiful photos. We wanted a photographer that would make us feel comfortable and capture our natural selves on the day of the wedding and she did that and more. If that is the vibe you are looking for, there is no one better for the job. Highly, highly recommend her!

super attentive to the entire wedding day and played a huge role in ensuring our wedding day went smoothly and according to plan :) We are so happy with our engagement photos and wedding sneaks and cannot recommend Erin enough to all couples in or around the area.

ots and wedding shots that we had dreamed of! She is helpful and caring and lent a hand more than once on the big day, making her feel more like family than our photographer! She is wonderful to work with and her photos are bright, cheery, and individualized. We are in love with our photos and can't thank Erin enough for capturing our special moments. Highly, highly recommend!! We are so grateful to have worked with her.

he reasons things went so smoothly! I had a large wedding party & guest list and was worried that it would be difficult to capture everything and everyone. However, Erin seamlessly was able to do that as well as capture fun and memorable behind the scenes photos and action shots on the dance floor. I feel like I was able to relive the night from looking at the photos she provided. The entire process of working with Erin was great-she helped us come up with a day of timeline and truly helped ease nerves I had leading up to the day. I also must add that we had an assistant photographer for the day and she was also amazing and wonderful to work with -I could tell the communication between Erin and her was on point . Erin is so professional but also so fun and down to earth. If I had to do my wedding day all over again I would choose her a million times over.

few weeks ago and I still cannot stop looking at these pictures - she captured our wedding so beautifully. Erin was incredible to work with. Like a lot of pandemic brides, we had some changes in our original plans and Erin was incredibly accommodating, which made a stressful time just a little less stressful. Erin also has incredible skills with lighting! Both of our venues were in settings with difficult lighting but Erin was ready for anything and the pictures turned out beautifully! You will not regret hiring Erin - it was one of the best things we did!

for vendors and constructing the day of timeline. Every time we reached out to her she was very responsive. She even helped us attempt to find a new videographer when ours cancelled just 2 weeks before our wedding. Not only is she amazing at coordinating for the big day but HER PHOTOS! OMG. She was able to capture everyone so perfectly. None of her photos felt too posed or stuffy. Everyone’s personalities were apparent in the photos but in an elevated and beautiful way. She has a knack of making you look like yourself but better. We have received endless compliments on our photos and absolutely love them ourselves. She caught those moments that were so important to our day but tiny things that could have easily been overlooked. I HIGHLY recommend Erin!

l comfortable, beautiful, and like you’ve been friends for years from the start. She is a true boss lady who knows her stuff. As someone who isn’t exactly comfortable in front of the camera, I appreciated her guidance and encouragement and excitement throughout my wedding day. And her turnaround time is out of this world! I will and would recommend Erin to anyone looking for a wedding day bestie that will hype you up and get the best photos at the same time! ✨❤️

ly lived up to our expectations. Every single guest commented on how wonderful Erin and her team was, many people requesting her services moving forward. She not only made us feel special, but everyone else in the room. Less than 24 hours after our wedding, we got a sneak peak and we are in awe of her magic and cannot wait to see all the photos. Thank you, Erin! We are eternally grateful!

away, I felt comfortable with Erin and she made being in front of the camera fun and not awkward. We did both an engagement session and our wedding day with her and so far they have all been beautiful. Erin and her team managed to capture all the important parts of the day and the feelings that were had. I am so excited to see the rest of our photos and relive the best day ever!

s to helping me through wedding day anxiety to capturing every moment of the day so perfectly, there are so many great things to say about Erin. She has great energy, fits right in with the group, calm, creative, helpful, knows Detroit, and very clearly loves her job. Her ability to capture the happiness of the day is what I admire the most about her work. I probably go back and look at our sneak peek once a day because I’m so impressed by her work and who doesn’t love reliving such a special day? And I’m sure all do the same thing when we get our full album. I want everyone we know to hire her and you should!

nd vibrancy she is able to capture. She was very easy to talk to and open minded to our photo ideas! We would hire Erin again and again.

ancy in photos. We did engagement photos with Erin back in August 2021 and she was able to make me laugh and smile when I was feeling anxious and stressed. After getting our engagement photos back we were so excited to be able to have her photograph our upcoming wedding! We just hosted our wedding on July 2nd, 2022, and everyone adored Erin! She is amazing and makes everyone feel super comfortable. A day after our wedding she posted some sneak peeks of our wedding photos and I cried while viewing the entire album!!!! Please do yourself a favour and book Erin right away!

y! If we could re-do our wedding day over and over again, we would make sure Erin is there every time!! We love ya Erin and thank you for capturing our perfect day so perfectly!

nd and I are. I'm so appreciative for her flexibility and willingness to go with our ideas for the shoot. On our wedding day, she made everyone laugh and feel comfortable when taking photos too! Looking at our photos from the day, she captured every moment perfectly. My husband and I are so happy we were able to have her be a part of our wedding experience!

wedding. From the first time we met Erin via Facetime for a meet and greet, we knew she was the photographer for us. Her bubbly and charismatic personality is infectious, she is authentic and truly has a passion for capturing not only stunning photos but memories and a true capturer of light and love. Looking through her portfolio and back at our pictures from our engagement session and wedding day, it truly evokes a deep visceral response; I can genuinely feel the immense joy and love overcome me from these snapshots in time. Her passion and work are truly unmatched! It was a blast hanging with her for our engagement session where she really got to know our personalities. We had so many compliments on our engagement photos. During our engagement session, she had a playlist of songs we liked playing so the afternoon felt less stressful and more like a hangout sesh where one of our friends happened to be candidly snapping pics the whole time and the outcome reflects genuine happiness and raw emotions. She is great with providing direction and making you feel at ease with being photographed. Our wedding party loved hanging out with Erin and her assistant- as I mentioned before, hype woman extraordinaire! Throughout her photography sessions she builds you up with compliments and shows you pictures she’s taking on her camera and will make comments about how gorgeous and amazing a photo is because of you. She truly makes you feel on top of the world. She went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations. These photos are the ones you will look back on and reflect on for the rest of your lives and pass down and share with future generations- a true investment that is priceless, and Erin delivers that- priceless photos that convey so much heartfelt emotion. Would highly recommend Erin not only for wedding photography but for engagement photos or any other special event photos. Cannot wait to work with her again in the future!

I have always been drawn her photos because of their beautiful, clean, crisp, and colorful quality. She is so thoughtful and clearly pours her heart into her work. She knew we were looking for wedding venues and sent several emails after our engagement session recommending places to check out, including the one that ended up being our venue! She is so much fun to work with and really manages to bring out the love in the pictures.

later. Our mini wedding photos came out so good they were even featured in a magazine. She is fun, easygoing, very professional, quick to respond to any communication, and accommodating to any request. My wife and I aren’t the type of people who like getting our pictures taken, but we felt so comfortable with her and found ourselves laughing and smiling at her amazing personality during all our shoots. Her pictures always come out amazing and are so colorful and unique. If we could give her 6 stars we would. We’d recommend her without any hesitation to anyone who was looking for a professional photographer. She is the best.

t expect, and am thoroughly blown away by, are her candids. HOLY COW, her ability to anticipate and effortlessly capture fleeting moments, glances, expressions, and the smallest of details, is truly unparalleled. I didn't even realize half of these pictures were happening, they're so pure, and at no point did I feel self-conscious. Besides being a wildly talented and professional photographer, she's an excellent hype woman, bridal party organizer, and timeline-keeper. I so look forward to hiring her to document all future life events in the most beautiful, authentic way.

of the best choices we made for the wedding. Not only are her photos absolutely amazing, she makes the entire process easy and seamless. She was able to capture every special moment without us even feeling like we were being photographed. I cannot say enough about what a joy it was to work with her and the smile on my face viewing every perfect picture. We loved every photo and cannot recommend her enough!!!

l! My friends and family can’t stop raving about them. She is also just so fun, I felt like I was working with a friend, which made everything so natural. If you are looking for your love and happiness to shine through your photos, hire Erin for your wedding!!!

e process. Our photos are a constant reminder of the best days of our lives and we are forever grateful for the love and genuineness Erin was able to capture.

festive, and timeless they are. Not only did she take amazing photos, but she was fun to hang out with and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. Even after having to reschedule our wedding, she was so easy to communicate with and made us feel safe through the entire process. HIGHLY recommend hiring her for your big day !! :)

nbelievably stunning! Trust me- I didn’t even think of the things she thought of with her organization skills. She is truly so talented and hard working.. her detail shots are above and beyond. I have had so many people complimenting her work. I HIGHLY recommend Erin and cannot say enough great things about her. I am soooo glad we got to have her as a photographer for our special day.

nd recently did our maternity session. When speaking with potential photographers, Erin was the only one who had a list of questions and explained her process with us. Others- their opening line was pretty much "so tell me what you guys are looking for." Erin told us her history/training/resume, her style of shooting, what she focuses on and how she likes to help her clients. She helped us navigate the process and knew what to look for. Hire Erin, you will not regret it.

r. She communicates at a high level, she is personable, and her photos are absolutely stunning. I received so many compliments from our family and friends regarding not only Erin's photos but also her as a person. Let's not forget how she let us bring our two Boston Terriers to our engagement photoshoot!! If you are reading this and are wondering if Erin Schmidt Photography is the right one for you, she is! Thank you for everything, Erin! Jake and I will forever be grateful for the photos and time you took for us!

ocess and her work speaks for itself. We didn't have to worry about anything on our wedding day. Erin did everything from wrangling stray parents, to bustling my dress. If you're looking for beautiful photos that are natural and fun, Erin is your gal.

ly relive our big day through her pictures. She made us feel at ease, blended in with the crowd when necessary and was extremely professional. I will be using Erin for future family photos and will recommend to all my friends because she is amazing!

s that my family and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. She's super knowledgeable and seen so many different events that she offers help with the planning aspect and recommendations for the wedding day timeline. Her turnaround time is fairly quick with previews and teasers almost immediately after. The final photos are easy to obtain and download from her site and share with family. I highly recommend Erin for future family, engagement, and wedding photography. Top notch! Thank you Erin :)

any questions and gave suggestions on our day of timeline with no hesitation! On the day of our wedding , her and Lynsey were so much fun to be around and made everyone feel comfortable! It's very obvious that they absolutely love what they do and genuinely care for the couples and the families they work with. This also comes through in their photos. We received way more sneak peaks, much sooner than expected! And then received all of our photos pretty quickly after that. They captured so many incredible shots that I didn't even realize they had. Our friends and family love the photos as much as we do! And it's been so much fun being able to relive our wedding through these beautiful photos. I am forever thankful for Erin and Lynsey being able to be a part of our big day! Run, don't walk to book Erin for your wedding if you get the chance!!

better people to work with! I am so obsessed with all our photos! Their work was AMAZING! She captured exactly what I wanted and even things I didn’t even know I wanted but am so thankful to have them now!

, I am transported back to the greatest day, with all of the people I love most. She truly captured the energy, love, and joy of the day and I am 100% satisfied. All of my communications with Erin were timely and easy. Her pre-wedding questionnaire kept our wedding day on track not once did I feel stressed or overwhelmed in her care. I am not originally from Michigan and Erin has vendor recommendations for certain packages that were game changing. It enabled me to hire the best vendors that I knew would deliver the highest quality work. My husband and I had only been in front of the camera a couple times before and with Erin we felt the most comfortable. She truly is incredible and I will cherish these photos for a lifetime!
