    ABOUT
hello, IβM ERIKAβyour chicago editorial wedding photographer.
As I see it, your wedding is not only about creating beautiful imagery or throwing fabulous parties. It's about celebrating something even granderβyour love and commitment.
This is why, using a curated, fine art approach, I'll capture the intricate details you have thoughtfully selected. Plus, stunning portraits of the people you love.
And I'll hyper-focus on the authentic joy and genuine emotions. In a way that tells your powerful love story and sets youβand your celebrationβapart.
As a Chicago photographer, I regularly photograph weddings throughout the Windy City, along the shores of Lake Michigan, in Indianapolis, and Detroit. However, I'm happy to travel wherever you choose to celebrate your loveβwhether you're seeking full wedding weekend photo coverage or simply want photos of your big day.
βEvery single image captured us, our loved ones, and our day perfectly. She BLEW it out of this world and worked her magic in every way.β
