Let’s go back to the beginning..I picked up my love of photography from my dad. He was always carrying a camera around and wanting to do everything he was doing, I started photography in high school and quickly realized that I never wanted to put my camera down! I love exploring new places and jumping on every travel opportunity possible, so if you’re thinking about having a destination wedding or getting your engagement or senior photos done somewhere new, what are you waiting on? Let’s go! I’m always ready for a new adventure!

Haley made the process of working together very easy and it felt like a true collaboration. She was as invested as we were in creating our timeline, ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted, and understanding our wedding photography priorities. I’ll be honest, I’m very Type A and I had high expectations for our wedding photos. That was why we decided to hire the best photographer our budget allowed. However, the photos that Haley produced blew even my wildest expectations out of the water! I am in awe of how filled with love and light the photos are. The most candid, intimate moments, captured artfully. If you’re a bride looking for the best veil photos, Haley’s eye for detail is astounding!

Ever since I was a child I knew that this was what I was meant to do! As the years passed I've followed my passion for photography and created a full time job that I love. I'm a people person, I love animals (pets are more than welcome to any shoot), I'm a sucker for two people who are crazy about one another and strive to capture that perfectly in every session. Your photos matter to me as much as my own. I still get butterflies before I shoot a wedding because I care and I want everything to go smoothly on your big day. I've been known to play the therapist, seamstress and anything else I can help with that may arise your wedding day!

We’re a husband & wife team who loves real conversations, passionate love, exciting adventures, belly laughs, dogs, tacos, beer, and, of course, beautiful photos. From a first meeting over a cold beer, to supporting during your planning, to celebrating you before, during, and after your wedding day, we’re here to create an experience unlike any other.

Choosing Erica as our photographer for our wedding was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. Erica made the entire process seamless while also providing great advice and insight into other aspects of our wedding day we hadn’t even thought of! Erica set up different pricing options for us, allowing us to pick what was best for the small ceremony we had. Erica and her husband, Antonio, were professional and made us feel so comfortable being photographed. We wanted them to capture the candid moments of our small wedding and asked that our day didn’t feel entirely staged for photos, They did that beautifully. The photo reveal process was intimate and unique despite Covid and was the perfect way to look back on our wedding day. We cherish our photos and would highly recommend Erica for her services. I look forward to working with her again as our future unfolds.

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.

We hired Elle & Co for our engagement photos and left our session feeling like we were in the hands of pros which helped us feel confident going into our wedding day. Dani and Jed are very professional but are also laid back and fun to be around. They not only went above and beyond on our wedding on our wedding day by running around everywhere and grabbing things for us and setting up photo ops and being ready at every turn but the photos are beyond what we wanted. 100/10 recommend!

This is your permission slip to be unapologetically yourself on your day. Let the deep belly laughs, worst dance moves, and shameless joy be out on display. You only get married once - you sure as heck better make it weird, memorable, and uniquely yours. You deserve someone who is just as emotionally invested in your day as you are (or, you know, as close as someone else could get). Someone who cares enough to capture all the big moments, but the smaller ones in between too. If you want a supportive bestie as your wedding photographer, let's get to know each other more. Send me a message to learn more about what I offer!

If you are planning a wedding and see Laura available for your big day.. BOOK HER! She makes your day so fun and relaxed especially on a day where you have tons of different emotions. She helped us make a timeline and it made our day go so smooth. I love the way she edits her photos and her turn around time was so fast. I definitely recommend her to anyone for photos and we have used her several times.
