How It Works
Wedding Photography
One way we ensure that our couples enjoy the BEST photographic experience possible is through forming a relationship with our couples. We try our best to make sure that all of our couples are the PERFECT fit for us before officially booking. A couple should connect with their photographer, trust their photographer and be EXCITED about the whole process with them! After booking, we love getting to know our clients through an ENGAGEMENT SESSION that helps them warm up to the camera so that they are ready to rock and roll on the wedding day! By the time the wedding day arrives, our clients feel more like friends and that creates a safe and relaxed environment for photography! Now that you know a little bit about our approach to the wedding day, contact us to find more detailed information about THE EMP WEDDING EXPERIENCE!

KIND WORDS
“Can't wait to speak again in Palm Springs, because Palm Springs . But also because I'd collab again with Erica in a heartbeat.”
— Laurie, Speaker, Author, Coach, Laurie Baedke
“Erica you are out of this world amazing! Somehow you made everyone look like movie stars!
You captured the very essence of the joy and love that was felt by everyone! Bruce and I couldn't be more thrilled and grateful!
You, Erica, are
THE BEST OF THE BEST!”
— Val, Wedding at Toscana Country Club, Palm Desert, Ca
“I was looking for a photographer local to Palm Springs... After leaving a message, I heard back from her right away and we ended up talking on the phone for almost an hour!
It felt like I was making a plan with a friend who knew all the right questions to ask to get me organized and thinking creatively about images I wanted for my special day.
She was very easy to communicate with, organized and extremely considerate of my desires, timeline and needs...I am thrilled to have chosen her and fortunate she was available on my special day. I would highly recommend hiring her to anyone getting married.”
— Yvonne, Wedding at The Parker Palm Springs, Ca

I couldn’t be more thankful for her talent and beautiful heart.
Stalking her Instagram page was the best decision I ever made!!! I’m forever indebted to Mrs. Erica, my forever friend." - Marissa
