DOCUMENTING THE CHAPTERS OF YOUR STORY
UPSTATE NEW YORK WEDDING & COUPLES PHOTOGRAPHER

HI! I'M ERINN
Hawaii raised, Upstate New York based, and always chasing my next adventure. I’m a huge football fan—die-hard 49ers supporter, with Christian McCaffrey as my favorite player.
Back in high school, my dream was to be the next big ESPN reporter, covering Super Bowls until the Lord called me home. But life? It has a funny way of unfolding. In true Erinn fashion, I stumbled into this career on a whim, fueled by a whole lot of spontaneity—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d be photographing weddings, brands, families, and couples all over the world. Yet here I am, capturing love, connection, and the incredible stories that land in front of my lens. And I can’t wait for yours to be one of them.

my approach
With over seven years of experience capturing love stories, I am deeply committed to creating an environment where you feel completely at ease, allowing your connection to shine authentically. I believe the most meaningful moments happen when you’re free to be yourselves—unposed, unscripted, and unfiltered. My approach is rooted in documenting the beauty of those genuine interactions: the stolen glances, quiet laughter, and the way your story unfolds naturally. Every frame I capture is designed to be a timeless reflection of who you are, preserving the essence of your love in its most honest and heartfelt form.

connection
A photograph is more than just an image—it’s a heartbeat, a feeling, a thread that ties you to a moment long after it’s passed. My approach isn’t about stiff poses or staged perfection; it’s about trust, comfort, and authenticity. I want you to feel seen, understood, and completely at ease in front of my lens. Because when you’re comfortable enough to be yourself—to laugh freely, to hold onto your person a little tighter, to exist in the moment—that’s when the real magic happens. The best photos aren’t just taken; they’re felt. They are proof that for one fleeting second, everything aligned, and your story was captured exactly as it was meant to be.

honesty
There is beauty in the unfiltered, the raw, the perfectly imperfect. I believe photography should be a reflection of real moments, not just curated perfection. The wind in your hair, the unscripted laughter, the tears you didn’t expect to fall—these are the things that make a story honest. I won’t force you into something that doesn’t feel like you, and I won’t edit out the little details that make a moment real. My job isn’t to create a version of your story—it’s to capture it exactly as it unfolds, in all its truth, beauty, and emotion.

authenticity
Your story is yours alone—wild, beautiful, unscripted. I believe the most powerful images come from being, not performing. No forced smiles, no stiff poses, no trying to fit into someone else’s version of what a moment should look like. Just you, as you are. I want your photos to feel like a reflection of your soul—the way you love, the way you laugh, the way you exist in the world. The goal isn’t to create a perfect image; it’s to create something real—something that, years from now, still feels like home.

Friendship
I don’t just show up, snap a few photos, and leave. That’s not how I work, and honestly, that’s not how great stories are told. I believe the best images come from a place of genuine connection, where you feel like you’re with a friend—not just a photographer. I want to know what makes you laugh until you can’t breathe, the songs that make you dance, the little things that matter most to you. Because when you let someone in, when you feel safe to be fully yourself, that’s when the magic happens. I’m not just here to take your photos—I’m here to celebrate with you, to cheer you on, and to create something unforgettable together.
