As stressful as weddings can be, it was definitely a relief to have someone as helpful, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and kind as Erica
along the way with us.
She made us feel so comfortable & was always in constant contact throughout the way.
She captured our wedding SO PERFECTLY!
Our pictures came out INCREDIBLE!
Erica is so PROFESSIONAL and FRIENDLY. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! ”
