Thank you so much for making the best day of our lives truly perfect!

e disappointed!
Erika took our engagement pictures and the whole experience was lovely. She is fun and approachable and the pictures came out perfectly. She struck a great balance between formal pictures and letting us do our own thing.

gracefully and brought a light heartedness to sometimes stressful moments.
Then there was the pictures!! My husband and I absolutely adore the pictures. The lighting is perfect, the candid photos are on point, and she didn't miss a single important moment. You can tell she put a lot of work into editing the photos even taking items out of the photos that didn't fit with the theme of the photo. She is amazing and I really loved working with her!!
Thank you so much for being there on our special day and for doing such a fantastic job of capturing it for us.
Our photos will be the most lasting and cherished of all the things that we have from that day.
Thank You !

I can’t put into words how happy we are with our wedding photos. Erika did a great job that day and also prior. She also helped us choose a location to take our outdoor photos and went to the location prior to the wedding to ensure that this wa...
s the perfect location for us. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and we received over a thousand photos within a month of the wedding. Erika was available via email to help us when we had an issue with our link. Not only did she resolve this quickly but she did so during a holiday weekend.
Erika is the absolute best! She did such a great job capturing my wedding perfectly
the pictures are beautiful. I couldn't be happier.
Erika did a Wonderful and Fantastic Job at our daughter & son-in-law's wedding/reception!! She traveled approx. 2 1/2 hours to be the photographer for their Special Day!! She was visible but yet behind the scene and not noticeable/distracting...

Erika turned out to be an amazing photographer and I am so glad we found her when we did !
I spent a long time researching wedding photographers as I was from a different state but choosing to hold my wedding in Missouri. When I saw her websi...
te and her dramatic style she automatically went to the top of my list and we are so happy that she was available for us. To be honest, after meeting her, I thought she was a bit disarming. We went with it and found that she had a passion to match her talent. Her Personality was laid back and turned out to be a perfect fit on the wedding day.
On our big day she was prompt and she was focused, professional and attentive behind the lens and tried really hard to keep us relaxed during all the bits in between. Group shots were super smooth and efficient, then individual shots with my wife were just a blast.
Photography was a big part of the day for us. Erika really made it special. Much Thanks.
She was professional and respectful to the couple's needs.
Erika was awesome! Very knowledgeable and fun to work with. She communicated with us well ahead of time and the day of the wedding, directed us well and got so many great shots without being overwhelming. We got our photos very quickly and love...

Erika was amazing! She was very professional and she is so talented. I would highly recommend her!
From the first time we met, I felt like Erika was completely invested in making my wedding photography planning an easy and fun process. She is a true professional who listens to your vision, helps plan out the sequence of events, and helps you...
r day run smoothly! She knows how to roll with the punches and delivers amazing quality photos. Would recommend her services to anyone!
Our wedding was definitely a day to be remembered. I'm happy Erika was able to capture some of the most memorable moments from it for us. The shots of the wedding itself were great as well as some of the more candid ones she got. Very pleased w...
ith how well everything came out.
Erika was a joy to work with. She was very professional and easy to talk to.
She had so many details to organize for our shoot and pulled them all off flawlessly.
The images came out great, and I loved sharing them with friends and family....
They were more beautiful than I could have imagined.
It was amazing to have Erika take the photos for my wedding at our local City Hall. She was so creative and light. We received a variety of different shots and we really loved them. The photos took about 3 weeks to deliver, but otherwise we wer...

Very accommodating for everything we did, even at the last minute. Knowledgable, respectful of our wishes and helpful. As a bride I had no clue what I was doing, but our photographer was able to guide me through the steps. We were provided info...
rmation without bias so we could make our own choices.
Erika just flew in to photograph my wedding yesterday. She was amazing. She didn't miss a beat and she didn't miss a single shot !!! wow !!!
My husband Mike and I, hired Erika for our wedding on September 6th, and she was incredible! She went out of her way to make sure we had the most amazing experience. Despite the fact that she drove over 4 hours in the rain to get to our venue b...
y 8:00am, and the fact that it rained for the majority of our day, we got the most beautiful memories captured in our photos. She is amazing working with large bridal parties, (we had 20 people!), but she still made sure to keep everyone included. We felt so special, and she captured all of the best moments. Erika is professional, kind, and just an outstanding person to work with, and I would highly recommend her to any person out there looking for a photographer who will give a very heartfelt, and personable experience.
At first it seemed that Erika was really excited to photograph our wedding, but when we got the pictures it seemed like all she did photographed was the bear minimum and I felt like there was a lot that was left out from the day. We also told h...
er where we wanted out first look and when I arrived, she had not positioned my husband where I asked her to do it. However, it was too late to request to move and the pictures came out horrible. Although she gave us a great deal, I would have rather spent more money instead of regretting my decision now.

Katelynn,
I was saddened to hear of your disappointment. We were very excited to have the opportunity to work with you and Chris (and family). We spent about 20 hours planning for the wedding day in hopes of providing you as perfect an experi...
ence as possible.
We shared in your vision for your first look, unfortunately, the river dock location that you selected was unavailable on the day. It was privately owned and had been partitioned from public access. We were required to modify the groom's placement. We felt the final placement was still a beautiful angle to capture the setting. I apologize that it differed from the way you had originally envisioned it.
Our review found that we captured images from start to close without pause. Our service time was quietly extended (in courtesy) by one hour to ensure we could complete your wedding album by including your wedding exit.
Your feelings are legitimate and I would like to ensure that we are giving the best to you and to every client. I have reached out to set up a meet in an appropriate venue so that we can gain more context and see what we can do to help.
Her wedding package was a great value. She provided amazing service for our 12 hour wedding ! Our wedding was held in the Seattle area and even with travel it was a great deal - we had no problems !!
I hired Erika for our wedding day a few months ago. She is a very humble photographer. Initially we were unconvinced of her skill as a photorapher, however, on our wedding day, we figured we had no choice but to go with her suggestions. We were...
glad we did. She was spot on! Our pictures were beautiful and we loved everything! No complaints.
Erika was a great photographer. We hired her for our wedding last year ! Such a Pleasure !
My now wife and I met Erika through a mutual friend. We saw her work and hired her for our wedding. We were not disappointed - She was great. Thumbs UP !
Revision: A year later Erika checked in with us. We told her about some images that we wo...
uld love to bind for our parents and (in-laws) and she helped us to create a parent album. She even helped with the design. Yes.
I was honestly nervous about Erika when I hired her just a few weeks from the wedding. I was not completely comfortable hiring a vendor from out of state but I went with her because her work was really good. On the day of, Erika arrived promptl...
y, was prepared, and friendly. Pictures reflected a high level of professionalism. Everything went perfectly. I would not hesitate to hire her again.
Our wedding photo experience with Erika was exceptional. She was very professional and yet creative.
All of our photographs turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. She came with great suggestions and was very tuned into the...
fine details of each scene. Before the wedding, she reached out to us and worked out a schedule for the wedding events and photography. This really helped us stay on track when it came to the day !
She was very responsive to questions and thoughts along the way .
If I could give this photographer 10 stars I would! As a bride searching online for the perfect photographer let's be honest, who do you trust? A million choices for your most important day! I'm so lucky I found Style In Light. I chatted with E...
rika and I could tell she was a professional with a great eye. let me be clear- i wantd someone who was an actual photographer and she fit the bill. She does this full time. Photography is her life. I shared with her my vision and she worked with me. We met and she also scoped out the venue. She had a schedule and made the day easy! She was ghefe early and was ready to capture every moment. Erika caught all the shots I was looking for and had pics for me to view within 2 weeks. She did a fabulous job editing and all pictures look amazing! I just ordered a canvas from a third party and they contacted me to ask who did MY photos. We couldn't be happier!
Erika is such a talented photographer and just an overall humbly and great person. She listened to our vision from the very beginning and worked with us to make sure every detail was ironed out. She was very laid back . During our engagement s...
essions she taught me some body positive poses and helped me to feel comfortable in front of the camera.
On my wedding day, I didn't have a personal assistant. Erika was great at keeping time and keeping us on track. She walked with me to my first look and helped me to calm my nerves. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we could have expected !! Can't thank her enough .
We hired Erika to shoot our wedding a little over one year ago. She was a new photographer then and she was Amazing. The logistics of our wedding was complicated as we had 75 guests arriving from around the country to spend four days with us ...
and we wanted captures of the entire story. She worked with our planner, and with our family to bring everything together perfectly. Everyone loved her.
At the wedding, she produced some great shots and delivered them VERY quickly so that we could share the highlights with the family before they returned home! Highly Recommend.

Raised by a teacher, stories have always been woven deeply into the tapestry of my life. It's that love for story that informs my work both as a wedding photographer, and a commercial photographer. Weddings provide an interesting insight into the story of the couples I am fortunate enough to work with, it's exciting to be a part of the closing of one chapter and the opening of the next for my couples. Even after over 3 years in the industry, the uniqueness of these stories still surprises me.
