Erika took some beautiful photos for our small wedding in Northumberland. She did an excellent job of capturing the relaxed atmosphere and the joy we all felt that day. She put us and our guests at ease and was professional throughout. Would absolutely recommend!

Erika was everything we were looking for in a wedding photographer - and more! Relaxed, friendly and non-intrusive, she helped us feel completely natural and non self-conscious in front of the lens. Many guests also remarked on how easy going she was throughout the day. We have just recently got the photos back and are ecstatic with the results. If you want skilfull, creative and genuine pictures that capture the spirit of your celebration, we can't recommend Erika enough.

We would enthusiastically recommend Erika as a wedding photographer! We originally booked her for our summer 20 wedding, which got pushed back a whole year due to the COVID pandemic. Erika was accessible, friendly, professional and hugely reassuring throughout. One of the reasons we booked her having spoken to several photographers was we felt we had a good rapport and that we could entrust our wedding photos in her hands. We werent disappointed! From the moment Erika arrived on the day she felt like an old friend and she went about photo-taking in a relaxed and subtle but organised

We hired Erika for our wedding and she was fantastic from start to finish. We met with Erika several weeks beforehand to discuss different methods of photography and our preferences for the big day. On the day itself Erika was punctual and professional. She mingled and interacted with our guests to put them at ease which resulted in fantastic natural shots to go alongside formal photos. The photo gallery went live 6 weeks after the wedding on schedule. The choice for wedding album is extensive and the photos Erika took were amazing.
Erika went above and beyond and we would highly recommend her

Erika was the photographer for my wedding in November 2019. From beginning to end the service was faultless and very smooth, we were both extremely happy with the photos taken and the service on the day. I cant recommend her highly enough, the whole experience was effortless, which was exactly what we needed while the rest of the wedding planning was going on, as well as on the big day itself. A great sense of humour, very professional and 100% willing to go the extra mile for the right shot. Thanks, Erika, for being part of our day!

Thank you so much for capturing our day so perfectly, and for being so lovely and wonderful on the day, it was an absolute pleasure to have you there. You went above and beyond, you helped calm my nerves in the morning with chats about Italy, and you were so lovely and chatty throughout the day with everyone! Most importantly, we absolutely loved the photos, they're amazing and really captured the special moments of the day. The fact we only waited 2 weeks for them is amazing, you are one talented lady! Thank you! Laura & Rich

What can I say about Erika?!
Erika was the photographer for our wedding in October 2019, but she was so much more on the day. She was so supportive to me (as the very nervous bride) and became an important part of the day, mixing in alongside our friends and family. She captured the day in the informal style we wanted - only the 'posey' shots we requested and then everything else was spontaneous and natural. The pictures we received document the day perfectly from bridal prep to first dance and everything in between. We met with Erika before our wedding and she carefully listened to all we asked
