Weddings full of feeling, styled with fashion, wrapped in a vintage vibe
Hi, I’m Erika — a destination wedding photographer based in Europe and available worldwide.
Photography to me is more than a job — it’s a soulful connection to people, moments, and emotion. The greatest compliment I’ve received from couples is that I capture the purest, most candid feelings — images that feel alive, real, and full of heart. Yet somehow, they still look like they belong on a magazine cover.
That’s exactly where my style lives: between raw documentary and editorial beauty. I call it candid editorial vintage — a blend of honest moments and timeless elegance, wrapped in a touch of nostalgic imperfection. Think emotional truth, framed like fashion, with a vintage vibe.
Film taught me patience and presence. Digital gives me spontaneity. Together, they help me create stories that feel authentic and age beautifully.
Connection is everything. I’m not just your photographer — I’m your calm, creative presence on the day. I take time to understand your energy and vision, so your wedding photos truly feel like you. Whether you’re camera shy or ready to take the spotlight, I know when to step back and when to gently curate, always with intuition and care.
You may have seen my work in publications like Tatler and GQ, but the most meaningful recognition comes from my couples — their trust, their tears, and the joy of seeing their memories captured just right.
If you’re here, chances are you’re not looking for cookie-cutter. You want the real stuff — the emotional, the unposed, the beautiful. The moments that whisper, laugh, and sometimes roar.
Let’s make something beautiful, together.
Here's what my clients say
Erika took the most amazing pictures of our wedding! It felt like she was a friend before a photographer and I felt so confident and relaxed having her as my photographer on the day of my wedding because I trusted her! Her work was exactly what I wanted and more and I loved her as a person because she was professional, quirky, stylish and such a genuine person! She cared about what I wanted and she delivered it so perfectly! I 100% recommend her to anyone and I can’t wait to have her take pictures of all the other special events of my life!
