HI THERE! I’M SO GLAD YOU ARE HERE. I AM YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ERIN!

More than anything, I hope to create photographs that feel genuine

My goal is to create an experience that feels just as meaningful as the images themselves. I want every client and every family member, friend, or vendor who shares in these special moments to experience not only my professionalism, but also my warmth, patience, authenticity, and genuine passion. I believe the most meaningful photographs are created when people feel comfortable, cared for, and fully present. That's why I'm committed to creating an experience that allows you to embrace each moment with confidence, knowing every meaningful detail is being thoughtfully preserved.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN CHICAGO + CHARLESTON

Images that feel thoughtful, celebratory, and timeless

I FOUND MY WAY INTO PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE MOST UNEXPECTED WAY.

A bride and groom standing on a city rooftop. The groom wears a black tuxedo with a bow tie, and the bride wears a white wedding dress with lace details and a veil. The bride holds a bouquet of white flowers, and they are smiling at each other.

What started as a simple conversation at a friend’s wedding sparked a curiosity I couldn’t shake. At the time, I had recently graduated from college and was searching for a career that felt meaningful—one that challenged me creatively while allowing me to connect with people in a genuine and lasting way. Looking back, it feels clear that the things I’ve always valued were leading me here: nostalgia, joy, celebration, connection, and the art of preserving moments that become memories.

Photography quickly became that for me.

Along the way, I discovered not only my love for documenting weddings, but also my passion for creating an experience where people feel comfortable, celebrated, and fully present. Because beyond the photographs themselves, I believe in preserving the emotions, the relationships, and the fleeting moments that make each wedding day uniquely yours.

The boat has a two-level structure with a maroon canopy, and the upper deck is crowded with people. The scene depicts a daytime outdoor gathering on a lake or river.

DOCUMENTING THE LITTLE MOMENTS

WHEN I’M NOT BEHIND A CAMERA

INSPIRED BY PLACES AND STORIES.

I’ve always loved discovering the little things that make a place feel like home. Whether I’m wandering a new neighborhood, traveling somewhere new, or finding a favorite local coffee shop, I’m drawn to the details, people, and places that make every place unique.

ROOTED IN CONNECTION.

I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by the people I love. Family means everything to me, and with a big family, there is never a shortage of laughter, memories, or moments worth holding onto. My sweet niece Ellie especially has my heart. I’ve always loved meaningful conversations and learning what makes people who they are. Getting to know someone on a deeper level is one of the greatest joys in my life—and one of the biggest reasons I love what I do.

DRIVEN BY PURPOSE.

My faith has shaped the way I see people and the way I approach my work. I believe every person has a story worth celebrating, and I strive to create an experience where my couples feel comfortable, cared for, and fully themselves. Beyond creating beautiful images, my hope is to serve my couples well—with a calm presence, genuine encouragement, and joy throughout one of the most meaningful days of their lives. When I’m not photographing weddings, you’ll probably find me staying active, trying new restaurants, reading a new book, wandering the grocery store longer than necessary, talking fashion or interior design, or (unsurprisingly) talking about weddings.

Client Experience

"Erin was so professional, precise, and kind in capturing our special day. We had an initial call prior to booking her to explain our goals for the day and connected again as it got closer to the date. I gave her a list of names of who we wanted to get photos with and she ensured that all were checked off on our day. I didn't have to worry about anything! She was prompt, helpful in making sure she got all the shots, and even got us a sneak peak quickly which was AMAZING!! Truly appreciate you and thank you for being so awesome during our wedding day. We can't wait to have you capture future special moments."
