ERICA!
Meet your Colorado elopement photographer
get to know me some more
Feel like you know me better? Sick. Now here’s how I’m here to serve you!
My favorite movies are Across the Universe and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I'm big on making EVERY moment count to its fullest extent and applying it to each and EVERY wedding + elopement I shoot!
I’m a kinda a basic chick because I love true crime docs and I use the words “I feel that” “totally” and “absolutely” too much and embarrass myself but it’s my personality trait and I stick by those comfort words.
Moscow mules are the best beverage ever made in my opinion and I love telling people I'm a Taurus even though I never really got into horoscopes. I know I'm stubborn though and April-May babies are the best babies, ayeee!
I'm a HUGE music lover spanning from EDM, metal/hardcore and rap. Music is my life. My fav artists currently are Dance Gavin Dance, Zeds Dead and Yeat. Definitely down to blast bangers during your elopement and dance together.
I'm a 5 '3 foul-mouthed emo/hippy chick who switches between either all black or colorful in-your-face outfits, it all depends on my mood honestly. I like to call it colorful grungy retro.
I’m outspoken and a wild child at heart. I love concerts, dancing my heart out, and riding around in my car with the windows down pretending I’m in an artsy indie movie. I was made for Colorado for sure.
Erica in da house — Some fun facts about your Colorado elopement photographer, just to break the ice.
YOUR WEDDING BFF!
i am here to support you every step of the way, from walking you down the aisle (pun intended!) to emo-ing it out on the dance floor to mr brightside.
I have a strong passion for all living beings. While it may make me seem like a bit of a hippy, I genuinely mean it! I find energy in human interaction and connections. Being a social butterfly is ingrained in my nature, and I channel that energy into my photography. When it comes to weddings, I firmly believe they should capture the same emotions as the day you first met your partner. That incredible feeling of butterflies in your stomach, the anticipation for the first kiss - that's what your wedding day should be all about. I want to ensure that no stress gets in your way and that you have a remarkable experience. I am here to remind you that no amount of stress is worth overshadowing that magical feeling! Think of me as your guide throughout the entire wedding/elopement process.

How I work and what the heck to expect from me as your Colorado elopement photographer.
You will gain me as a bestie in the process, someone to be your true self around, someone to laugh and cry with and someone you can frickin’ count on.
I understand that if you and your honey have never taken photos before that you might feel awkward, but i specialize in helping camera shy couples by using prompts and movement to get you and your partner comfy in front of the lens!
I will encourage your decisions, stand by your side even if you feel like your decisions aren't respected, they will be with me!
I give guidance and help you find vendors, give you recommendations and suggestions on your journey until your wedding day.
I’ll bust moves on the dance floor and even jump in the dance circle and twerk for a quick sec (I’ll try not to embarrass myself completely)
I will get to know the two of you for WHO YOU ARE so we get those BOMB real moments on your wedding day.

She does absolutely stunning work and she has the most wonderful and comforting personality!
For us, Erica was the ONLY option! I hate taking photos (and our elopement was the first time we ever took professional photos) and she was so good at directing us as well as making sure we were enjoying our time. Also, she provided us with sooo many suggestions while traveling and gave us an awesome elopement checklist to follow leading up to the big day. Additionally, she was very accommodating to our dogs being with us and included them in the best way, even when one of our goofballs was a little too excited to be there. If you want to feel like your bff is taking your pictures, look no further! She’s the best of the best

Can I give more than 5 stars? Erica is family for us. She has been a part of our story since our elopement.
When she got there I was freaking out due to a last minute problem and she was a friend to me, she talked to me, made me laugh and forget about the problem and enjoy the moment. She captured all the emotions that were going on when I had my first look with my bridesmaids and my parents through FaceTime. She set up the best spot for our first look. If you are looking for someone to be JUST a photographer, Erica is not for you. Because she will be MORE than that. She will take care of you, be your friend, email or text you asking if you need anything and have fun with you.

When Erica and I finally met in person it felt like I had known her for forever and we just clicked right away.
From day 1 Erica was so easy to work with and flexible, we knew after our first video call with her that she was the photographer we wanted to work with. Finally our wedding day came and Erica was so professional and fun all at the same time, we unfortunately had rain the entire day of the wedding and Erica worked around it and still got the most beautiful and amazing shots, you couldn't even tell it was down pouring! After our time had ended with her she stayed and had fun with us and our guest at our ceremony, which just added to our experience with her! When we got our pictures back I was in tears looking at them, I have never felt so beautiful! The colors were STUNNING, and the pictures were to die for, there wasn't a bad shot in sight!

This chick is so sweet and fun to work with (and obviously mega talented, but the photos speak for themselves!!)"
My fiancé and I wanted a cool Colorado vibe with our engagement photos, and she DELIVERED. I asked for some suggestions for a mountainous terrain, and she sent over a dozen options with links to her photos previously shot at the locations so we could see what it would actually look like and felt confident we made the right choice on where to do the shoot. We laughed a lot, and Erica prompted us with questions / things to tell one another to get our genuine reactions, smiles, giggles and all the sorts caught on camera. Erica lets you determine the vibe and shots that you want to capture if you have any ideas in particular. Erica helped guide us through the process and made it SO SO easy for us - and we got AMAZING photos at the end!!
