About Me
Hi, I’m Erick—a wedding and portrait photographer passionate about capturing real connection and emotion. My love for photography started with my family on our travels, competing to see who could take the best shot. That passion grew into a profession, leading me to earn an Associate’s Degree in Photography and study under legends like Scott Robert Lim and Roberto Valenzuela.
Photography runs in the family—my father was a film photographer who developed photos in our home darkroom. Watching him shaped my approach to capturing light, emotion, and timeless moments.
While weddings and portraits are my focus, I draw inspiration from many genres—street photography, landscapes, even light painting. This blend of creativity helps me create wedding images that feel personal, stylish, and unique.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m spending time with my wife and two kids—my biggest cheerleaders and favorite travel buddies.
My Style
My work combines candid photojournalism with artistic, editorial flair. I gently guide you into natural moments, paying attention to composition, light, and connection. I’ll help you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera—so you can be fully present on your day and get photos that truly reflect you.
Whether your wedding is in the heart of DC, a scenic Maryland venue, or a stunning Los Cabos destination, I bring the same commitment to storytelling and intentional, stylish photography.
Oh! Wow This are just beautiful!! Than you so much. You’ve really captured the spirit of Will and Emily and the quality of the photography is georgeous.
