Hi couples!!! My name is Erika, I am here living my dreams and to capture you living yours on your big day. I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology for photography. I've always wanted to become a wedding photographer. I love the happiness and love between people. My dad chose to live his dreams everyday and make the best of all situations. This is why I started Love in Focus. I wanted to honor him as well as bring dreams to life. I focus on natural light while capturing the essence of my subject and bringing each photo to life. I have photographed ten weddings as of now.

Erika deserves a million stars if possible. From the engagement shoot to our wedding, nothing about the night would have been the same if her and Stefan weren’t there. They were incredibly fun to work with, very responsive and understood and met all of my needs. They made the night so much more personable and memorable with their amazing personalities. She is so talented and creative, I was amazed at the different shots she put together. I’m so grateful we clicked so well and it helped loosen us up in the photos. I would highly recommend hiring Erika for weddings, engagement shoots, or anything else because she is so talented. Thank you so much again for helping us and giving us a night we will always remember!

We found out at the last minute that Erika would be the second shooter at our wedding. She was INCREDIBLE! By the end of the night, I was asking her to join us dancing because it seemed like she was a longtime friend. Funny, professional, and amazing photos! Hire Erika and you won't be disappointed.
