Illustrating every chapter of your story together
Erin VEstal Photography
For couples & Families in St. Pete & Pinellas County
They say a picture's worth a thousand words
Imagine yourselves years from now, curled up on the sofa, flipping through a photo album.
Which images will you linger on the longest: the ones that look like generic photos of a family, or the ones that truly reveal who you were and how you felt in that moment?
The best photography puts people first.
It’s the moments with loved ones that you’ll want to remember years from now: your grandma giving you a hug before you walk down the aisle, the wonder in your eyes as you cradled your newborn, your partner flying your preschooler through the air in your living room.
And the experience should be people-first, too.
If you’ve ever looked at beautiful photos of someone else and thought, “great for them, but my family would never cooperate like that,” think again.
With the right photographer and a little time, the nerves melt away, and you feel free to have fun and be yourselves in front of the camera.
"Is your family chaotic like mine? Erin will give you unbelievable pictures.
A photographer's eye is everything and Erin will see in the people you love the best of what you see in them, even if they can't sit still."
Which volume of your story are you in?
Each love story has its chapters, and each is worth remembering

I’m Erin Vestal, your Tampa & St. Pete Photographer
Welcome
Whether it’s your wedding day or a golden-hour stroll at the beach, I believe that beautiful photos are the result of you being you. Not trying to be someone else, or doing cookie-cutter poses you saw on Pinterest.
I don’t believe in forcing moments or staging feelings – I believe in seeing you for who you are, so I can capture the beauty that’s already within you.
As a photographer, I lean into documentary storytelling and candid coverage, planning up front so you can truly experience the day instead of performing for the camera.
Wedding Photography
The photos you’ll cherish most capture the moments you didn’t expect: the joyful, unexpected tears you dab away during your first look. Your niece waving glow sticks on the dance floor. The way your father has to pause to gather himself before finishing his toast.
Yes, I’ll capture family portraits and shots of the details you so carefully chose. But I’m always seeing out the moments and expressions that reveal your love story.
Whether you’re planning an intimate beach ceremony at sunset here in St. Pete, or a wedding weekend celebration with 200 guests, my wedding photography packages are tailored to meet your needs.
Newborn Photography in St. Pete
When you welcome a new baby into your lives, you’ll want to bottle up every yawn, snuggle, and sleepy rub of the eyes…without having to leave your home, pack 5 extra onesies just in case, and stress about whether you’ll mess up their feeding schedule.
My newborn photography sessions are intentional, unhurried, and baby-led, taking place in the comfort of your own home. No props, pressure, or posing – just genuine images that speak to this new chapter of your lives.
Family Photography in St. Petersburg, FL
“Everyone look at the camera and smile!” isn’t going to capture them exactly the way they are at this age and stage.
The photos you’ll treasure years from now are the ones that truly mirror your family in this season of life: the toddler belly laughs, the beloved stuffy that’s always within arm’s reach, that sweet little pair of overalls they’re just about to outgrow.
Together, we’ll plan an unhurried session around your family and what you love to do together, so that everyone has permission to be themselves in front of the camera.
Beach Sessions
Maybe your family has come down to the Gulf Coast every April for decades to soak in the sunshine, go shelling on our sugar-sand beaches, and get away from it all. Or maybe you’ve chosen to gather here for a long-awaited reunion, or to mark a special occasion.
No matter why you’ve come, I’ll document your family as you relax together by the ocean, so you go home with a souvenir you’ll treasure forever.
As a St. Pete photographer, I’ll help you find the perfect Florida beach for our session together, whether it’s the powdery sand and pastel palaces of St. Pete Beach, or hidden gems like Pass-a-Grille or Redington Shores.
"Erin went above and beyond giving us her time and effort on our wedding day.
We were blown away by her thoroughness, effort and kindness. And of course she took just beautiful photographs."
"I got a little emotional thinking of having family photos that aren't selfies, finally!
Erin's photos are so beautiful and she obviously put so much care into her work, and that really resonates."
