On a wedding day, I’m the calm in the middle of the movement. I’m tuned in to the little shifts — the way the light changes, the mood in the room, the timeline slipping by a few minutes — and I quietly adjust so you never have to. I pay attention to what feels honest and meaningful, letting moments unfold instead of creating them. I’m always observing, anticipating, and noticing what others might miss.
My goal isn’t to direct your day, but to move with it: relaxed, steady, and fully present, documenting the moments that will matter most to you years from now.

the
experience
The Erika Dame experience is thoughtful from start to finish, giving you space to be fully present with the people you love.
Photographs are meant to be experienced, not tucked away on a computer. Your gallery includes album and print options that turn the candid moments of your day into heirlooms you can revisit for years to come.
Some of your favorite memories often happen days before the wedding. Documenting your rehearsal dinner or welcome party preserves the heartfelt toasts, the familiar faces, and the feeling of having all your people in one place.
This session is a chance to celebrate your relationship in a laid-back way. Whether we explore your favorite spots or keep things simple, the focus is on connection, comfort, and photographs that feel genuinely yours.
Every couple and every celebration is unique, which is why your photography collection can be tailored to the experience you want. Whether you prefer day-of coverage or a full weekend documented from the welcome party to the final send-off, there is an option that fits your plans. My goal is simple: to give you the coverage you need without anything you don’t, all while making the process feel effortless and personal.
Each collection is built around the essentials you’ll appreciate most. You’ll have wedding coverage, a second photographer to ensure every angle is documented, and an online gallery that holds all your images in one place for downloading and sharing.

You were organized, calm, positive, easy to work with, and fun, which are all essential on a wedding day. I'm type A and knowing that I didn't have to worry about photos on the day of allowed me to relax and take the day in , knowing you had everything under control.
"You took a load off my mind"
- bethany and kyle
We loved your fun, easy energy and how you directed us and everyone around us to get all the photos we wanted and in the amount of time we had to get them done. It was very easy and you can see that in the photos. The guys loved how you helped give them direction on what to do. We can't thank you enough!
"You came highly recommended by our venue and our planner."

testimonial
My life is a mix of travel, plants, family time, and the quiet moments that inspire me to slow down and look a little closer. I love exploring new places, appreciating beautiful design, the pages of a good book, and photographing the world as it is. These experiences influence how I move through a wedding day — observant, patient, and fully present — always searching for the emotion, connection, and meaning that make your story uniquely yours.
Shaped by travel, art, and observation
and drawn to moments that have meaning.
