I want to create an experience of authenticity. I want to photograph in places that hold the most meaning to you, whether that's on a mountain top or in your backyard. I want to capture your day exactly the way you remember it. I want to create images that make you feel. When you look back on your wedding day 50 years from now, I want you to still feel the same heart fluttery feelings you felt from your first "I love you's" to your forever "I do's". I want to capture your love in the genuine, in-between moments of big cheesy grins and tears you wipe from your cheeks. I want to build connection, between me and the ones you share your heart for.
I want to be able to fully invest my time getting to know each one of my couples, and capture their story in the most authentic way. Therefore, I am now taking a limited number of big weddings per year. After nearly a decade of shooting weddings, I have learned that intimate weddings (under 55 guests) is where my heart is, and where I believe I truly thrive most as an artist. If you genuinely believe our styles align, please don't hesitate to reach out!!

I booked Erica for a sunrise engagement shoot in Yosemite and her work was stunning! She and her husband Chad were so kind and helpful throughout the shoot. She had great direction and has natural talent. Her photos were amazing đź‘Ź You won't regret booking her. Both Erica and Chad are so knowledgeable about Yosemite, you even get a fun personal tour!
Erica did our engagement session in Yosemite in October 2019. She immediately made my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos came out absolutely stunning! Fast forward to our wedding day on 7/31/21. Erica and her husband Chad we’re truly amazing! They are the sweetest people. They rolled with the punches and even stayed late to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted. Erica got every shot we asked for & got our edited photos back to us FIVE DAYS after the wedding! We are so impressed with Erica and can’t wait to use her again in the future!
I booked Erica for a sunset couples photoshoot in Yosemite, and I was actually blown away by her photos, like I couldn’t believe it was my boyfriend and me!! I was absolutely obsessed with every single photo. We had never had professional photos taken, and Erica and her husband Chad made us feel super comfortable and we actually had FUN! Plus she got our photos back to us in less than a week! I HIGHLY recommend Erica and can’t wait for another photoshoot with her!
I can not thank Erica enough for the fantastic work she did in photographing our wedding. She went above and beyond to ensure she understood exactly what we were looking for in photos, and I can't express how breathtaking the photos came out. Her professionalism, attitude, attention to detail, and ability to direct us so we could get gorgeous photos was more than we could have asked for. Her prices are reasonable, and her quality is impeccable. I highly recommend Erica Houck for any photographing needs, especially weddings. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again for more photos in the future.
Erica last minute was able to our engagement session in Yosemite National Park. She is honestly one of the nicest, down to earth, understanding person that we know. we absolutely loved working with her and her amazing areas in the park to photographer and her willingness for adventure! Our photos feel so "us" and we adore them as much as we adore Erica. She is so easy, friendly, and communication is great. I wish she was doing my wedding!!! I know that I can always reach out to her about anything and she has helped with things other than photography. You will not regret Erica or her work. she is beyond amazing and I am so happy that I found her. her photos are amazing and so is she!
Absolutely!! Each elopement & intimate wedding is unique in their own way. Some couples want photos from sunrise to sunset, and others may only need a couple hours. I’d love to hear your vision, and how I can serve you best!! Feel free reach out for a custom quote, unique to your day! :)
Heck yeah, I gotchu!! My husband and I know Yosemite like the back of our hand! Being a wife to someone who used to live and currently works in the park as a YNP tour guide, definitely comes with it’s perks. ;) We’re both super passionate about Yosemite’s history, and everything there is to know about the park (including a few hidden gems that you won’t find often on insta! ;) I’ll be sure to send ya alllll the recommendations you need to plan your dream engagement or elopement!
I hear this ALL the time. I’ve been there too, and let me assure you.. my husband and I are likely far more awkward, so don’t even worry lol. I’ll give ya plenty of fun prompts to keep ya’ll movin’ and groovin’, you won’t even know i’m there! I promise to be your ultimate hype woman!
I usually suggest having no more than two-three outfit changes.. the less changing, the more shooting time! Most couples bring one casual, and one dressy. Long, flowy dresses are my fav, and photograph beautify in movement! I have plenty more things to suggest on this, but at the end of the day, I want you to bring whatever you feel most comfortable in, and feels most true to yourself. The more comfortable you feel, the more comfortable you’ll appear in your photos! ;) I actually have an outfit guide that goes into far more detail for my clients, but this is just a few suggestions to help get you started!
I truly take my time to edit each photo individually, to insure your photos are edited to a premium quality! Sometimes this takes time. With that said, engagement sessions can be anywhere from 100-300+ photos, and delivered within 3-4+ weeks. Elopements can range between 300-500+ photos, and are delivered within 4-6+ weeks. Weddings can range from 500-1k+ photos, and are delivered between 6-8+ weeks, depending on my busy season. But don’t worry, I’ll be sure to send ya sneaks to share with friends and fam within 72 hours from your session, to hold ya over!
At this time, i'm no longer offering video, however, I can refer some AMAZING videographers that I frequently team up with that will offer their services at a discounted rate, if you book them with me!! Feel free to ask me about them, and i'll be happy to give you my recommendations! :)
