A bride and groom in the gardens in front of Hatley Castle

Their story

They booked me before they had even chosen a venue.

F & J found my work on Instagram and reached out early. When they settled on Hatley Castle, the day that followed was elegant and full of family. While J was in the makeup chair, we talked through their families together, so everyone would feel looked after and the photos would capture both sides the way they hoped.

These two really had it all, and choosing favourites is nearly impossible. I am so moved they found me and chose me to capture their day.

In their words

“We came across Erin’s work on Instagram and immediately knew we had to hire her.

We booked her even before we finalized our venue. She made the day absolutely seamless.

While I (the bride) was in the makeup chair, she kindly asked if there was anything we would like her to know about our family dynamics in order to create a stress-free photography experience that captured both of our families appropriately. She is remarkably efficient, and her ability to capture light and movement is absolutely stunning.

She even accommodated some of our own ideas, like photos under my veil. I would absolutely recommend her to any engaged couple. All of our friends rave about the photos. We received hundreds of photos just days after our wedding to show our friends and family.”
