About this vendor
Erika is the owner and main photographer of Luved Photography. Her style is moment driven and classic as she uses the light and moments to tell the story of your day. Her most important goal when photographing a wedding is to capture it as the bride envisioned it. Her extensive experience in the wedding industry allows her to see what the other vendors and bride envisioned for the day and capture it accordingly. While she delivers a high quality, high end product, she also is a calming presence and a good friend to have by your side the day of. In addition to her experience in the wedding industry her love for travel, spending half of her time in Italy gifts her an open mind, a free spirited outlook that is refreshing and out of the norm for an event photographer. She goes with the flow, but creates and demands a shot when the light is perfect. Luved Photography only accepts a limited of weddings throughout the year, as her business is highly sought after for families and newborns, and her growing portfolio in Italy.

rking with her. Thank you, Erika!
Erika was amazing to work with. She was so chill and totally understood our vision for the big day. Every guest who interacted with her told us how nice and great she seemed which ...
I think is so important. People felt so comfortable with her there and we hardly noticed her and her assistant Jamie behind the scenes. They made our day so wonderful and we have been looking at our photos since the wedding so happy with how they turned out.
She was also very timely in responses and we got our photos exactly when she promised them after the wedding which I know is not the case for other brides I know.
Erika is so great and easy to work with! She is very thorough and detailed and offered great advice throughout the whole planning process. As someone who does not like to be the ce...
nter of attention or make decisions, Erika made us instantly feel comfortable through every event - engagement photos and wedding day. She knew when to take control and kept us organized and on time throughout the day, while also sitting back and letting us do our thing when needed. Her final pictures are gorgeous - I highly recommend her and can't wait to use her for future family photos!
My husband and I could not thank Erika and her assistant enough for the beautiful wedding pictures they took! As soon as I met Erika I knew she was the one to photograph our weddin...
g. I felt an instant connection with her and knew I would be comfortable taking pictures with her. From the moment Erika and her assistant arrived at my parents house, they made me feel comfortable and it shows in our pictures. My husband and I are very laid back people who love to laugh and have a good time and that's exactly what is portrayed in our wedding pictures. Erika does a great job getting the pictures the bride and groom would like, but also tries to find unique locations that not every bridal party goes to in the suburbs which we really appreciated! I would highly recommend Erika for any upcoming weddings! My husband and I plan to continue to use her for years to come for family portraits and what not :).
Let's start by saying I'm really picky and I couldn't find anyone that I liked. My main thing was I needed someone to do an album for us that was included in the price. When two co...
uples recommended Erika I right away went to her website and fell in love with her work and contact her. After meeting with her my husband and I knew she was the one. She was amazing thru the whole process, I would email her or text her pictures I liked. We talked 2 days before the wedding to make sure we were on the same page and best of all she got the permit for us to take pictures at a conservatory park! The day of the wedding she was amazing, made me feel comfortable and never once was she annoyed or unhappy, she always has a smile on her face and she's such a sweetheart. Erika truly loves what she does and also the people that she works with. I can't wait to work with her again in the future! Everyone loves our pictures so far!
Erika was AMAZING before, during, & after our wedding!! We spent a lot of time with her before the big day planning what we wanted & she captured it all perfectly! And she handled ...
our complicated family dynamics with class & grace. We loved her so much we are now using her to capture the memories of our first-born son through his 1 year birthday! I always recommend her to anyone & everyone I know that mentions they're searching for a photographer - I know I'll never use anyone else! :)
We cannot say enough good things about Erika and all our experiences with Luved Photography. Erika was very easy to work with, she went above and beyond any expectations we could'v...
e imagined. Throughout the whole process (engagement pictures, planning timing and locations for the day of the wedding, the actual day and since then) Erika was beyond helpful, provided feedback and offered her professional opinion on timing and other aspects of the day. Her warm personality made my husband and I feel so comfortable getting photographed. We would continue to recommend LuvEd to anyone. The images that we received are beautiful, there is a great mix of shots from the day, and I look at them all the time. Also, her assistant for the day, Katey was great!
Erika was the best of the best. She made our wedding day go by smoothly not only by been a photographer but by been a human been, as simple as that. Many times even when your vendo...
rs are all set and ready to go they concentrate in doing their job and not building a relationship at all with their clients making everyone feel uptight and uncomfortable but Erika was nothing like this, from the minute we meet she had a smile as if it was the best thing that could have happen to her, ceremony was a little late and she made us feel as if we were her only priority the entire day, she was extremely professional at all times and took advantage of every situation trough out the day to make sure her work was impeccable. I had a very nervous groom that not once felt intimidated by the lens and that made my day too. Overall our experience was amazing and we will love to thank Luved for the professionalism. We look forward to many events and dates with you!!!
Thanks!!!!!
Having Erika as my photographer was the best decision I made!! (Well other than marrying my husband;) She was so creative and fun to work with! She always asked what I wanted but w...
as also willing to provide her opinion when asked. The quality of her pictures is AMAZING and her attention to detail is meticulous!
I have also used Erika for a "Trash the Dress" shoot and for my children's photos. My girls absolutely loved posing for her. She was willing to get sandy, dirty, and just have fun- so I could have some of those priceless smiles forever!
Best photographer ever! You will not be disappointed!!
