We had an incredible time working with Katy. She was professional, friendly, creative, and went…read moreabove and beyond in her work with us. We are blown away by her photos - she has a great eye for capturing the perfect moment. We will cherish her photos our entire lives and without a doubt, we highly recommend her! Katy met with us in person for lunch and you could tell that her passion is capturing these intimate and meaningful moments. She was genuinely interested in getting to know us, asked the right questions, and you could tell that she takes the work seriously, has a great personality and would be a perfect fit as part of our micro wedding party (6 guests and a dog). It was important for us to find someone that we gelled with, because letting someone into our small wedding isn't just another name on a big guest list, it's really someone that's very much a part of our special day. As we explained our ideas for our nontraditional wedding - which was 3 parts long spread out over an entire day - she was not only up for it, but had great suggestions on how we could fine tune our ideas. She was great at checking in with us throughout our planning process, and was happy to answer questions as they came up. Come the day of the wedding, she was understanding that the poor weather would delay the start of the ceremony. She was the first to arrive at our destination, and helped orient the guests and was great at introducing herself and providing tidbits of bird-nerd information as we walked the trails of Smith Rock National Park for 45 minutes. This was great for our guests who had never been to Smith Rock before. She took great photos (both directed and spontaneous). Our experience with her at the park, then at Brasada Ranch, and finally at dinner in Bend was that she had a lot of energy to keep up with the hectic nature of a packed schedule, but also took the time to direct us to slow down for special moments and get us to be our natural selves. She was even able to get great photos of my parents - who are extremely shy and avoidant of cameras! We hope that this review is helpful, and understand that choosing a wedding photographer is a very important step in the process. We felt at ease with Katy, that we could trust her with our special day. It was important to us to choose someone that had a great personality, professionalism, with a lot of creativity and attention to detail. Because we knew Katy has these all, it took a load of stress off our shoulders and allowed us to be more in the moment at our wedding. In the end we were given beautiful and natural photos of us and our wedding party. It's great to have the well composed and poised photos that we had dreamed about, along with photos of those unexpected fleeting moments that may have gone unnoticed if not for someone with a keen eye. We would love to work with Katy again!

It's immediately clear that Katy is a seasoned pro and a warm & delightful person. Before the wedding, Katy took the time to understand our relationship and to make us feel comfortable. She helped us figure out the flow of our wedding day, scouted all the best spots to take photos at the venue with us and built a genuine connection with us. During our wedding, Katy felt like a great friend with a camera AND captured a ton of lovely moments of us, our friends and our family. We loved the candid, genuine photography of our wedding and engagement photos-- it truly felt like Katy captured US and our relationship in the photos. We've gotten loads of compliments from friends and family about the quality of the photos and how many special moments she captured from our wedding day. Her photos are incredible, we loved how she focused on having a meaningful personal connection with us both and her logistics were top notch. I'd highly recommend her if you're looking for a photographer.

They can acclimate to anything--whether it's unpredictable weather, wild lighting setups, chaotic art installations, or behind-the-scenes chaos on a music video shoot, Amanda always shows up ready to problem-solve and thrive.

Their follow-through is impeccable, their attitude is unmatched, and the quality of their photos is absolutely mind-melting. Every single image they deliver feels like magic and mastery rolled into one. I can't recommend Amanda enough--if you have the chance to work with them, DO IT. You'll be obsessed with the results!

At least those were my initial thoughts going into the big day. Reality, the photographer will make your big day seemless, amazing, and fun! Until you actually get married, it is hard to grasp how fast a wedding goes by. Ashley was phenomenal at capturing the candid moments of all of our guests. Her pictures leave you with a sense that you were at the event showcasing all the effort that was put into our wedding. Thanks to her, she helps us fill in the pieces that we would have missed. Lastly, the portrait shots that Ashley did for my bride and I were unbelievable. She did not do the typical wedding poses and group shots, she really went outside the box and put an artist's touch into each shot. She is the top wedding photographer in the business, bar none.

They've also photographed a few of our friends for their wedding and maternity shoot as well and as always, the photos are as beautiful as can be! With so many different photography styles out there, I've always been drawn to the soft light and dreamy feel. Thank you Erika and Michael for consistently exceeding our expectations!

Here are the 5 reasons you need to hire Erika and Michael for your engagement and wedding shoots:…read more 1. They are super affordable for what is all included. Compared to other photographers I got quotes from, there was just so much more included with these guys it almost didn't seem possible! 2. There are two of them. Trust me - this is a HUGE added benefit. Just think about all of the moments in your wedding where you want a photo of more than one vantage point but won't get them with a single photographer. Think about when you're walking down the aisle - you want a photo of the grooms reaction too don't you? Maybe everyone is dancing with the cute flower girl but the cake comes out while everyone is distracted - perfect time to get both shots. 3. They are laid back and open to your ideas. Both of their demeanor is really relaxed and calm. This isn't as important during an engagement shoot, but during the craziness of a wedding it is really nice to have a team that is confident in what they do, with a quiet authority among wrangling family members, the chaos that comes with a wedding day's schedule of events, etc. I really wanted several specific photos and they were open to seeing my vision come to life and they captured it perfectly! 4. They have a fast turnaround. We were super surprised to get our engagement photos back so quickly! The wedding photos took longer - but that make sense as there were hundreds and hundreds of more photos taken on our big day. When we did get the photos the USB drive and couple of prints came in the cutest box EVER. 5. They got us featured on the main page of the Style Me Pretty blog! Their style is so well respected and admired by the blog already - but they had me fill out a few things and were able to get our photos and big day shared with the world for little girls out there to use as inspiration for their big day!
