Authentic photos for genuine people

I live to capture genuine moments, not just fleeting trends. I believe your wedding day should be about the candid experience, not just content for online platforms or glossy magazine pages. I want to tell the story of you celebrating the person you love the most. With a blend of gentle prompting and completely raw documentary style photography, I create galleries that are consistent, editorial and timeless. Weddings aren't always flawless or picture-perfect and the days that matter the most to me are the ones filled with authentic connections.

What makes Humbly Hewn different from all other Kansas City wedding photographers?

  • I’m an introvert at heart, so I am an expert at catching all of the in-between moments. Whether that’s an extra glance at your partner during your ceremony or your grandparent’s eyes glistening with happy tears, I see it. So will you.

  • I understand how it feels to lock up in front of the camera. I’ll prompt you instead of posing you. We’ll get silly and laugh, we’ll get a little more serious and romantic, but I’ll be gently guiding you every step of the way.

  • I’ve been shooting weddings for seven years, and in that time I’ve become an expert at staying on task during less-organized times of the day, think family portraits and wedding party portraits. I might be able to blend in when you want me to be unnoticed, but I am also totally able to take charge and keep things organized and on-time when the time calls for it.

  • The thought of losing someone’s once in a lifetime images due to faulty equipment or memory cards makes me queasy.

    Every shoot and wedding, I arrive with two cameras with dual card slots, two cards per camera, so backups are being made with every click of the shutter. I also pack a backup camera body.

    When I arrive home from every session or wedding I immediately back up every single image to an external hard drive and to my computer. This is all before editing even begins.

Behind the Camera

Hey, I'm Erin! I am an inclusive, authentic Kansas City wedding photographer. I photograph Midwestern weddings, elopements and microweddings. I also love to travel with you to anywhere you document your love story.

I’ve been photographing humans in love for seven years and my love for documenting weddings continually grows. My favorite weddings share a few key things: vibrant color, joyful connections and less rules, more personality.

“I cannot say how many compliments we got from friends and family about how awesome Erin was working with us. She made sure we had all the pictures we wanted captured, and we got a sneak peek that night! You won't regret choosing Erin as your photographer.”
