About

Last update: October 2024

Are you a little less traditional? Fabulous. Me too!

If your idea of a great wedding involves more time with your loved ones and less time "saying cheese" you're in the right place. I firmly believe that couples should enjoy their wedding day, and have beautiful photos to look back on. To me, that's preferable to a series of staged photos that look great, but take you away from the fun; and weddings should be a lot of fun. So if that sounds more up your street, then why not have a look at what I have to offer?

I've been a full time wedding photographer since 2012, and shot my first weding back in '04. I've seen a lot of trends come and go, which is why I lean towards a more classic style of retouching. I want your photos to stand the test of time. I fuse modern techniques with exemplary colour-grading to ensure all your images will remain beautiful for years to come whilst bringing back only the happiest of memories.

I offer full and half days as standard, but if you're looking for bespoke coverage that's fine; just tell me what you're after and I can quote for hourly rates too.

As for products, I have a wide range of albums and wall art available. You can pre-order albums or add one after your wedding. You get all your photos in an online gallery as well as on USB. You can add pre-wedding shoots, and for the more adventurous brides I even offer boudoir sessions for you to gift your partner something truly personal and unique on your wedding morning (but maybe not in front of the wedding party!).

I tailor my work specifically to each and every couple. If there's something you want but don't see it listed you can always ask. I don't list all my products and services becuase it would be overwhelming, so drop me a line and I'll see what I can do.

I will always go the extra mile for my couples. Call mean old romantic, but I think wedings are something pretty special.

Friendly, flexible & professional.

I would highly recommend Erika, from the moment we chatted to her we knew she was the right for our wedding. We wanted a very laid back wedding and neither of us wanted to spend hours posing for photos, Erika's style was just that, with the majority of the photos being natural and candid, with just the minimal posed pics. She was incredibly flexible, we initially booked a half day package but extended it to full day only a week or so before and she was happy to accommodate. She even arrived early to scope out the venue. We had lots of nice comments from guests about how friendly she was, and she did a great job of nudging us in the right direction when we had no clue what was going on (perhaps we were a little too laid back, lol). We are really happy with the end result, the pictures are beautiful! Thank you Erika.

We couldn't have asked anymore of Erika.

Erika was easy to engage with and open to all of our queries, ideas and suggestions from the off. She stayed in touch throughout the build up to the day and continued to answer any questions right up to the final hour.
On the big day Erika was heavily involved but barely noticeable, in the best way. She spent time socialising with lots of the guests, all of whom only had good things to say about her. She is good fun and knows what she is doing, Erika made us aware of anything we needed to know and told us what she would like to take pictures of, and throughout the day was also willing to take direction from us and made sure we got any pictures that we wanted.
The weather at our wedding was poor, to say the least, it didn't stop Erika from trudging through some nearby fields in order to find us the perfect spot for some scenic photos, as long as we were up for it, which of course we were, and the photos are incredible.
Erika was good craic and perfect for our day, she produced a quick turnaround, and when she sent us the USB it comes in a lovely little pouch and branded housing.
From start to finish Erika provided a none intrusive yet personal experience, and we couldn't have asked anymore of her.

Incredible photos!

Erika is an incredibly talented photographer, and was fantastic on our wedding day. She was really easy to get on with (all our guests thought she was brill too) and she understood exactly what we wanted without being overbearing. She turned around the many photos quickly and edited them very well. Highly recommended.

Best choice ever

Erika is without the doubt one of the best photographers going! We absolutely loved the pictures she took for our wedding, she is excellent at getting the posed ones you want and the "in the moment" shots that everyone loves. All my guests commented about awesome and cool Erika was and it is this amiable warm personality that allows her to slip from group to group capturing wonderful images. She was also so kind to me on the day when I got nervous and it really helped going down the aisle. You don't realise how much your photographer will play a part in your day and I am so glad we went with Erika. You will never regret booking her!

Best wedding photographer ever! 🏆

Erika was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! My husband and I couldn't be happier with our pictures.
We didn't want lots of posed and unnatural photos so Erika walked around and took snaps of our guests laughing, joking,dancing and just being generally relaxed and enjoying the day.
She is a warm and friendly lady with an amazing eye for the perfect picture .....very talented and professional and my guests loved her ❤️
Would 100% recommend her ....Nic & Pete .

Simply amazing!

From the start Erika was incredibly professional, friendly and flexible. She took the time to meet with us and listened attentively. She communicated promptly and her experience and expertise shone throughout and the finished photos are incredible. She captured us and special moments from the day beautifully. Erika was totally relaxed on the day and didn’t intrude on our celebrations. For a couple who don’t like having their photos taken - she did brilliantly. We can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you Erika!!

Amazing service from a lovely photograper

rika did out wedding photos which was an absolutely amazing experience, we had a lovely video call beforehand to meet her and that gave us great confidence that she was the person we wanted to make memories of our day. We didn't have the best weather but Erika managed to capture some amazing photos outside and she adapted amazingly to get great photos inside our venue. It was a real pleasure to have Erika with us on our wedding day and she did a fantastic job capturing the important moments for us especially of our little girls.

Amazingly down to earth

Erika was an absolute dream to work with.
She kept everything super relaxed which is what we wanted. We loved that she listened to what we wanted and worked with us. She just blended in well and our guests weren’t aware she was there. Highly recommend!

Excellent photographer

Erika was our photographer for our wedding and she was great. She really put us at ease, especially when we were feeling awkward for the couple shots! She handled a large family group with lots of children well and with a lot of patience.
The photos that we have now seen are lovely and she captured some wonderful moments with our guests that we hadn’t seen which made looking through them all really fun.

Excellent Service

Erika has been a fantastic photographer from start to finish.
When we enquired initially, we went to her home which was a lovely and relaxed setting where we could get to know one another and discuss our hopes and expecations from her to see if we'd be suited. Erika was very responsive, helpful and supportive all the way through planning and on the big day.
She made us feel comfortable when taking our photos (as we are camera shy), optimised the enviornment and produced some absolutely spectacular photos that we are proud to show our family and friends etc. She really done as proud and we are grateful to have booked her. Not only is she a great photographer who knows what she's doing, she's also a lovely and genuine person who's passion shines through her work. We'd reccomend her to everyone.

Fantastic photographer!

We are delighted with the photos from our wedding day, particularly all the little details that Erika captured which were so meaningful to us. Even though we had to reschedule our wedding 3 times due to Covid, Erika was so understanding, accommodating and helpful in working with us to find a solution every time. She was always quick to reply to any communication and answer any questions we had, and on the day it was like having another friend at the wedding, which helped us get lovely, relaxed shots. We would highly recommend Erika to anyone!
