About the author

I'm Erin. Wedding photographer, veil wrangler, and a big fan of good timelines.

Photography isn’t my full-time job, and that’s on purpose. It means every wedding I take on is one I actually want to be at, and I show up to it rested, excited, and completely yours for the day.

I think through a wedding day in scenes, and my job is to notice all of it. You stay present. I keep up.
