Do your thing. And I’ll photograph your…
real moments, real expressions and real love

JUST LIKE YOUR LOVE STORY, MOMENTS ARE FOREVER

It’s time to celebrate your love in style and have the day you’ve always dreamed of. Whether you’re having the big, traditional wedding or something more intimate, I am here to capture all the big and little moments from your big day to treasure for a lifetime.

Focus on creating the day that perfectly celebrates your unique love story! I’ll be there to support you, guide you, and take photos that give you all the feels ♡

PORTRAITS OF THE DAY, NOT A DAY OF PORTRAITS

Your wedding day will not feel like one big photo shoot! I want you to actually attend and be 100% present at your own wedding —enjoy getting ready with friends, be fully present during your ceremony, mingle with your guests during cocktail hour, and dance like a dancing queen at your reception.

Wedding Photography That Truly Means Something

I’m a documentary style wedding photographer, which means that for the majority of your wedding day I capture moments as they happen. I believe in the power of real moments, genuine emotions, and unscripted laughter. This means that your wedding gallery will tell your unique love story, and the photographs and memories will mean so much more to you. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT...

One-of-a-Kind Imagery
Photos that feel as unique and deeply personal as your love story.

Thoughtful, Intuitive Approach
A gentle, empathetic approach that allows you to stay present while meaningful moments are preserved.

Documentary style with an Editorial Twist
A refined blend of candid emotion and elevated style, captured with soul.

Timeless Storytelling & Editing
True-to-life color imagery rooted in sincerity and authenticity — meant to be felt now and cherished forever.

Warm, Personalized Experience
You’re not just another number or client for me. I take a limited number of weddings per year, to ensure that my couples have a seamless and supportive journey, where you’re deeply cared for every step of the way.

My Approach

My approach is all about creating a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where you can be yourselves, have fun and feel good. For 15+ years, I’ve honed my photography style to craft honest, relaxed, and natural storytelling images. I blend seamlessly into your day, capturing those authentic moments that matter most — whether big or small, joyous or emotional. From laughter and tears to the excitement and connections with your loved ones, I focus on all the details that encapsulates the essence of your day.

I approach my couples from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way. I make sure that the way I'm interacting with you two and your loved ones, photographing, and editing is reflective of who you are & how things actually feel.

  • "Erika photographed our wedding and our engagement session and from the start, she was so supportive and kind. We are so grateful for her work and for capturing these special memories in our lives. Our photos did not feel staged but felt more of a documentation of our big day and all our loved ones. When I saw our final gallery, I knew that the photos were going to be some of the most cherished pictures that I have. Thank you for everything, Erika!"

    Ashley + Alex

  • "From the beginning, Erika just got us. She has this calming, grounded presence that immediately put us at ease, and her work speaks for itself — it’s artful, beautiful, and somehow still feels effortless and intimate. We weren’t just looking for someone to take beautiful photos (though, wow, she really delivered on that front). We wanted someone who could capture the emotion, the in-between moments, and the spirit of the day — and Erika did exactly that."

    Rylan + Thomas

  • "I could go on for hours on how amazing Erika is. From our engagement photos to our wedding, she captured these moments so beautifully. My wife and I were so blessed to have her as our photographer. She was so personable and very organized when it comes down to it all. I received my photos last night and stayed up crying because of how perfect they all are and immediately had to get them out into my world. I got to marry my best friend, and all of the pictures show how much our love shines and how we shine with one another. So, I will 100% always be using Erika to capture all the sweet and important moments in our lives, and you should too!"

FAQ’S

  • I am based in Hawthorne, New Jersey (northern New Jersey).

  • Yes! Yes! Yes! I love to travel and I love destination weddings. Send me more info on your travel plans and I will send you a custom quote to meet your needs. When I fly out of state, my travel expense for airplane flights, rental cars, and hotel fees are added into the cost of the wedding package.

  • I shoot digital so I don’t miss a beat. I do not offer videography as part of my services. However, I have several really great videographers who I’ve worked with and can recommend.

    It is just as easy to book a videographer separately as it is book one in an all-in-one package. Your videographer and I will work together to seamlessly capture your day.

  • My style is a happy blend of photojournalistic/documentary photography and editorial photography with true-to-life color, vibrant editing. I capture the candid, authentic moments but, I also provide direction for desired posed and composed imagery.

  • Wedding galleries are delivered within 30 days of your wedding date.

    I will email you a link to your password-protected, online gallery. You can download all the high resolution JPG photos from the gallery and also share them with friends and family! No watermarks. These photos are ready to print. Print away!

    All online wedding galleries are accessible for at least 1 year after they are delivered.

  • For weddings, depending on the number of guests and events happening, you can expect 65-85 images per hour.

  • I do NOT deliver any RAW files to my clients. Part of my job as a photographer is to ensure high quality and consistent edits over an entire gallery and editing is also a major part in the photography process! I am hired for my editing style and because of that, I do not deliver unfinished products.

  • Yes! If your venue requires a copy of my liability insurance with their name on it, please let me know as soon as possible and I will get that processed for you.

  • If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please feel free to email me directly at hello@erikacoy.com
