St. Pete & Tampa Wedding Photographer

A story-driven, intentional approach to wedding photography.

Capturing the moment, not just the shot.

Your wedding is about living in the moment.

Stealing glances at one another during the ceremony. Cutting it up on the dance floor beside your lifelong best friend. Getting a little teary-eyed during the speeches.

You want to be in the middle of everything. To feel everything.

Not to pose. Not to reenact. Not to be pulled away from the love surrounding you so you can get the shot.

As your wedding photographer, I artfully document each moment as it happens.

We’ll plan with intention, so that you can truly let go and be present on your wedding day.

Yes, we’ll include space on your timeline for beautiful portraits of the two of you and your families. (Trust me, you do want them).

The rest of the time? It’s about balance.

Stepping back to document your emotions as you exchange vows, but offering a gentle prompt when needed to get the perfect getting-ready photo.

Wedding photography that sees you as the one-of-a-kind couple you are

These are the principles that guide me as a wedding photographer:

Everything is customized to meet your needs. Coverage is adjusted to match your wedding, rather than assigning you a set package.

As one of my couples, I am here to support you from our first conversation through your one year anniversary.

I'll listen to your vision for the day, let you know what's possible, and shape a timeline that leaves space for the magic to happen.

I may have an artist's heart, but as a wedding photographer, my artistry is in service of your vision. In other words, I'll always proritize the photos that mean the most to you.

Because this isn’t just about beautiful photos.

It’s about remembering how it felt—and seeing the love in every frame.

Let's plan your wedding

It's a simple truth: No two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike.

As your wedding photographer, I tailor my approach to suit the two of you, your guests, and the way you envision your day unfolding.

About Me

Your wedding is a celebration of your love for one another, and the love that surrounds you both. My greatest wish is that years from now, when you look back at your wedding photos, you’ll see the same love radiating from the pages.

I’ve always been a gifted observer, and now I use that to my advantage, seeking out the moments that will translate into photos you’ll treasure.

All love stories are welcome in front of my camera, no matter who you are or how you identify.

The Process:

Start Planning Your Wedding

Each of my couples receives:

A call before you book, so you can ask any questions and make sure my energy is a match for you (and if you'd prefer to meet over coffee in person, even better!)

Coverage that's tailored to your needs, from how long I'm there to whether I bring a second photographer along.

Timeline planning, so that I understand your vision for your day and the moments that matter most to you.

Travel to your wedding venue (within Pinellas County or the greater Tampa Bay area)

High-resolution digital images for printing and sharing, hosted in a private online gallery

The option to add on an engagement session, highlight film, giftable parent albums, vintage film photography, and more

"Every detail was intentional, from before the wedding to the ceremony and beyond.

Erin was so accessible and gracious. She's very organized and has a great eye for people and scenery."

The coverage you need - not what someone else things you should want.

Every wedding is different, and your coverage should reflect that. The collections below are a starting point, and when you meet with me we’ll build something that suits the wedding you’re actually planning.

Full-Day weddings and weekend celebrations

Larger weddings often mean more to document: more guests, more joy-filled moments, more details you’ve planned and approved. My role is to capture it all while protecting the flow of the day and letting you savor each unforgettable moment.

Timeline planning that takes into account everything you want me to capture, while leaving room for quiet moments and spontaneous emotion

Coverage ranging from five hours to entire weekend documentation, tailored to your timeline and priorities

Inclusion of my trusted second photographer, Pamela

High resolution digital images with printing rights

A private online gallery so you can review your images, share them with friends and family, and order artwork

Optional add-ons, including rolls of vintage film, highlight videos, engagement sessions, and more

Full wedding coverage begins at $4500.

Most couples spend between $7500 and $12000 on their wedding photography + video with me.

Intimate Beach Ceremonies and Micro-Weddings

For couples planning smaller weddings – usually one to three hours long – often barefoot, oceanside, and surrounded by their very favorite people.

Custom timeline planning, so we can get beautiful images in just a few hours, all while ensuring you have enough time with loved ones (and each other, of course!)

You don't need to have all the answers when you reach out.

At this stage of wedding planning, you may only have your venue booked. You probably don’t know how many speeches you’ll have, what time dinner’s going to be served, or even how many guests will be attending.

There’s time to figure all that out.

This is why, once I’ve confirmed that I’m free on your date, we’ll meet via Zoom or for a coffee in person, so I can understand what you’re prioritizing as you plan and how you want to feel on your day.

By the time we wrap up you’ll have a clear quote to make a decision on. And as your plans evolve, we can always adjust your coverage to match.

Let's figure it out together

Photos deserve to exist in real life

After your wedding, we’ll make sure that your photos don’t end up as digital clutter saved in the cloud somewhere. I’ll work with you to design an archival-quality album with your favorite photos. You’ll be able to invest in art from framed photos to parent albums. And I’ll even help you visualize how that stunning portrait will look in your living room.

  • Do you travel for weddings?

    My home base is in St. Petersburg, and I photograph weddings year-round throughout Pinellas County and the Tampa Bay area.

    In the summers, I also travel to the Lake Country of Minnesota to photograph weddings in and around Nisswa and Crow Wing County, a place near and dear to my heart.

  • Do you offer engagement sessions?

    Of course! If you want to feel more comfortable in front of my camera on your wedding day, a relaxed engagement session goes a long way.

    My approach to engagement sessions is simple: rather than stiff, posed photos, I capture the two of you doing something you love. It could be a walk along the beach, date night at your favorite pizza place, or mini golf.

  • How quickly will we get our photos + video back?

    Your fully edited gallery will be delivered within six weeks of your wedding day. That said, I usually can’t help sharing sneak peeks along the way as I’m editing!

    Video highlight films will be delivered within two months of your wedding day.

  • How much coverage do we need?

    This answer depends entirely on knowing your plans for your ideal wedding day: Do you want photos of the two of you getting ready? Are you planning a sparkler exit? Do we want to travel for your couple’s portraits, or take them on site at the venue?

    What I can promise you is that I’m really good at getting to the heart of what matters most to you on our discovery call and directing you to the coverage that, in my experience, will be the best fit.

    And, if you want a ballpark estimate, check out my calculator to see approximately how much time you’ll want for your wedding day!

  • How do we book you as our wedding photographer?

    Start by reaching out to check if your date is available! From there, we’ll schedule a complimentary consultation call where I’ll learn more about your vision and walk you through creating a custom photography plan that fits your day perfectly. Once you’ve chosen your coverage, a signed agreement and retainer officially reserve your date.
