Erin Long is a dream. From the moment we found her portfolio, we knew she was the one. Her work struck the perfect balance between stunning portraiture and fly-on-the-wall candids that feel honest, intimate, and moodily cinematic all at once. We wanted to be present on our wedding day, not pulled away for an extended time to pose. We wanted to live it. And we trusted Erin to capture it as it unfolded. She did exactly that, and more.
We started with an engagement shoot, which helped us get comfortable and let our guards down in front of the camera. Erin made it feel effortless. By the time the wedding arrived, it felt like she was a friend we could completely trust.
Then, the week of, her assistant had to cancel last-minute due to illness. Erin handled it solo and absolutely crushed it. She was everywhere she needed to be, somehow without ever feeling in the way. Hustling hard and making magic.
We've only seen the preview gallery so far, and we're already blown away. The photos are breathtaking. We look like ourselves, just... brighter. Like a classic romance or a still from a beautiful film. She took cues from our personal background, wedding theme, and venue, and took them to heart - our theatre background and vintage train station venue was begging for some old-fashioned, dramatic shots, but we still felt like ourselves. Not airbrushed, not overly styled, just real and joyful and full of life.
Erin is professional, honest, talented, flexible, and kind. She kept us grounded when things got chaotic. She told us when the light was just right. She knew when to step in and when to disappear into the background. We can't imagine anyone else capturing our day.
Erin, thank you. You gave us the gift of remembering it all exactly how it felt. You're incredible! read more
