Hi, I’m Erika

I’m a Chicago wedding photographer who is drawn to the quiet, meaningful moments that make up a wedding day. The glance you didn’t realize happened. Holding hands under the table. Your mother fixing your veil before anyone else saw. I want you to be able to look back on your day twenty years from now and feel it all again.

With a love for art and storytelling, I approach every wedding with the intention of capturing the day as it naturally unfolds. Nothing forced, nothing overly posed. Just honest, romantic imagery that reflects how it truly felt to be there.

Because the most meaningful photos aren’t just seen, they’re remembered.

Dream locations

There are a few places that especially inspire me. Each year, I accept one wedding in one of these locations where couples may book my regular wedding collections and simply cover travel accommodations.

  • Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum — Milwaukee, WI

  • Race & Religious — New Orleans, LA

  • Belle Meade Historic Site & Winery — Nashville, Tennessee

  • Swan House — Atlanta, GA

  • V. Sattui Winery — St. Helena, CA

  • The Biltmore Estate — Asheville, NC

If your wedding is planned in one of these locations, I’d love to hear more about your plans and share availability.
