    Erika is worth more than she charges!

    We felt really lucky Erika was available to do our engagement and wedding photos. We had gotten estimates from other photographers and her rates were very reasonable. My husband and I are normally very awkward in photos, but Erika made us both feel relaxed and comfortable during our engagement session - we actually had fun! She went out of her way to attend the walkthrough of our venue without charging any extra. I was so grateful she was by our side day of the weddng - she was such a calm presence for me as I finished getting ready, she had some great tips throughout the day. She was so inconspicous during the ceremony (very quiet shutter!), but caught some fantastic moments. On top of it all, Erika was so quick to turn around photo highlights from the day! It was so nice to be able to share them with our friends and family almost immediately. We're glad she does family portaits too, and will definitely hiring her for future family milestones!

    Hire Erika!

    We’re so happy we hired Erika to photograph our wedding. She has a great eye for candids as well as composed shots, and did a great job with the tricky lighting and backgrounds of the Tabard Inn. Beyond that, she was a joy to meet with and a great help with talking us through wedding day logistics, from the timeline to the shot list. When we first contacted her, she suggested meeting up to discuss her plans and the type of aesthetic we were going for, which was a great help. It was clear from her varied portfolio and experience as a photojournalist that she could capture those elusive magical moments and some great candids, so we booked an eight hour session as well as an engagement shoot. We highly recommend the engagement shoot - it gave a good opportunity to practice being in front of the camera together, and she arranged some of our favorite photos into a very reasonably priced guest book. Erika was very responsive in the time leading up to the wedding, and was the MVP on the day of our wedding - from fixing boutonnieres to helping us mind bouquets.

    Erika helped make our day magical! True professional

    Erika is and was amazing! From our first email, to our first phone call to our first save the dates photos, to engagement photos and than finally the wedding ! She was a pleasure to work with. She is professional, kind, determined to get the perfect shot. We can’t say enough about her!

    She made us feel like family as soon as we met her! We had so much fun running around the city for the pride parade to catch the perfect engagement photos and than the wharf where it ended with fireworks!

    The wedding was amazing! Being almost 9 months pregnant, Erika didn’t miss a beat! The highlights of photos we received are so beautiful. In my opinion magazine worthy!! (Not because we are in it but because she took the pictures).

    She had patience with us and our perfectionism.

    Her assistant Candice was awesome also, felt like family from the beginning.

    We can’t wait to see all the pictures, we know they will be great.

    We would recommend her to anyone.

    She is truly a friend now- thank you Erika and Candice for making our day beautiful and magical and even helping with some minor meltdowns we had lol

    Erika is the best!!

    Let me save you some time - book Erika for your wedding! She took both rehearsal and wedding photos for us, and we could not be happier. On a stylistic level, Erika understood what we were looking for, and her photos were a beautiful blend of candid and posed photos as well as setting and people shots. She very effectively captured genuine emotion and the joy and beauty of the weekend. On an interpersonal level, she brought a calm and reassuring presence to what can be a very busy day. She dealt with the many different personalities (from family members to wedding planners) very well - she is clearly an expert in weddings and wedding photography. We were thrilled to get “sneak peek” photos the day after, and our full rehearsal/wedding photos within a month of the wedding. Would absolutely work with her again!

    Great to work with!

    I can't recommend Erika enough, she was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She's was responsive and flexible with our requests and schedule, but also helped to point out any scheduling or logistical details that we didn't think of; which was super helpful. She scouted the venue a a few weeks before so she knew exactly what spots she wanted to photograph us at on the big day; which helped save time when it came time to do the first look and family portriats.

    The photographer has a tough job on the wedding day to wrangle people together and make sure she's getting all the photos the couple asked for. Erika was great at this. She's also a teacher; which was evident as she tried to herd our families into photos while directing others to stay nearby. Not an easy task!

    The photos we received were beautiful. We have wonderful portraits of us and our families as well as really authentic pics of genuine facial expressions and fun moments we can look back on forever. Would highly recommend Erika for your big day!

    World Class Service

    Erika is an outstanding photographer, but she is also is an exceptionally professional person. Her work is outstanding, her communication is reliable and efficient, and she has a fabulous eye for photos. Have worked with her numerous times, highly recommend her work!

    Awesome photographer & beautiful shots!

    Erika was our photographer for our wedding in December 2018, and she was fantastic! We loved working with her, from her easy and quick communication before the wedding, to her great shots at the wedding, and finally to the speedy delivery of beautify photos after (she sent us a preview set of about 25 edited photos just a couple of hours after the wedding!) She was great at getting all the moments we wanted captured, and corralling people for our group shots. We're so happy with how the photos turned out, and I highly recommend her!

    Best possible experience!

    Hands down the best photographer we could have hired! Erika did both our engagement session and our wedding. She is not only an excellent photographer but a wonderful person. Her second shooter, Katie, was great also.

    Erika was amazing! She was such a pleasure to work with and everything from our engagement photos to the wedding day photos came out better than we ever could have imagined! She even got us a first look at some highlights two hours after the reception ended! We could not possibly recommend working with Erika enough!

    Erika was so wonderful to work with! She was organized, detail-oriented, highly responsive, communicating well with us during the planning process for our engagement shoot and wedding day sessions. She ably merged our vision and ideas and her own creative ideas with an understanding of each venue. She made each occasion fun, while earning our full confidence that we were in great hands. Her personality would make anyone comfortable and relaxed. She and her assistant, Anne Marie, captured wonderful shots and moments from our wedding day, seamlessly solving occasional challenges during the day and evening. We are so incredibly happy with how our photographs turned out, and we would highly recommend Erika for your wedding!

    I could not recommend Erika enough! Our wedding day was magical, but it was also stressful (naturally) and Erika had the most calming, friendly, responsive manner about her and she calmed me down more than most of my friends did! Most importantly, though, Erika captured our day exactly as we had envisioned. All of our friends and family are obsessed with the photos we have shared so far, and we are having a hard time narrowing down our own favorites since all of them are wonderful. She also did an incredible job with our engagement photos and was such a pleasure to work with. I can't wait to hire her again for family portraits, actually :)

    Without a doubt, Erika and her team were the consummate professionals. They got every shot we requested, but did it unobtrusively. They were friendly and easy to work with, timely and extremely responsive to our needs. But the proof is in the pictures and they are wonderful. I would not hesitate to recommend Erika to any couples who want amazing wedding pictures, and any MOBs (Mothers of Brides) who want to check this one off the list with confidence.

    Erika was the photographer at our wedding this past August. She did a really wonderful job! She was professional, friendly, accommodating, and willing to work with our budget. She especially impressed us with her ability to merge with the background, taking wonderful pictures without distracting from the prayerful atmosphere of the ceremony. Also, one very nice feature she provides is a "sneak peek" of wedding highlights within 24 hours. My husband and I truly appreciate her amazing work!

    For one of life's most important events, there's no one I would trust more than Erika to not miss--and to capture in a brilliant way--the moments that form the mosaic of why the day matters so much. Erika herself not only had an eye--and timing--for seeing the best of our day, but also for finding those opportunities to show the fuller story of our wedding weekend. She put us both at ease--as much as by her personality as by her talent. And, beyond executing a flawless performance as our lead photographer, she assembled and led literally a world-class team that had previously captured presidents and key leaders in our nation, as well as weddings for well-known couples across the country. In short, she was exceptional--and an integral of making our wedding weekend the best time of our life. Fortunately, thanks to Erika, we look back and see it all.

    Erika was a great photographer - it was such a joy to work with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. She did a fantastic job of matching the tone of our wedding and our personalities with the photos she provided. Would highly recommend her to others looking for a wedding (or other special event) photographer!

    Working with Erika to photograph our wedding and engagement portraits was incredible. She truly went above and beyond the call of duty to be flexible and deliver a fantastic product. When we mentioned that we liked hiking, she was totally gung-ho about taking a (freezing!) dawn hike with us for engagement photos, recruiting an assistant to help her navigate the terrain and even giving us a ride in her car to the site. She's diligent about scouting sites ahead of any event, which we hugely appreciated as it goes a long way towards making everything go really smoothly on the day. We got our wedding day "preview" shots only two hours after the end of the event, and having just received our full set of wedding photos, we're really pleased with the results.

    Not to mention... she's just a ton of fun to hang out with, which made the whole experience of working with her that much better!

    We first met Erika because she photographed our friends' wedding in the spring and we loved her work, so we decided to have her photograph our fall wedding and we were thrilled to work with her! Before the wedding, we met with Erika and she talked us through her approach and photography style, as well as answering all of our questions and sharing ideas. We also felt that she took the time to get to know us as a couple, which showed up in the photos- they were exactly what we were looking for and we thought that they really captured our special day. She also joined us for a walkthrough at our venue and was highly responsive communicating for all of the pre-planning. On the day of the wedding, Erika was prompt, highly professional, creative, patient, and she was also a very calm presence when things were hectic before the ceremony! She was joined by an assistant and they were able to "blend" into the crowd and get some great perspective for the photos. The results were amazing and a very fast turnaround time in getting the sneak peek, followed by the full set of photos. We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and appreciate that Erika was a part of the day!

    We just got our wedding photos in from Erika (in far less than the month given to her in the contract!) and they are everything we hoped for. Fun, sentimental, bold, and joyful. Her background and skill in photojournalism enable her to really capture the moment and looking back through the photos allowed us to live the whole day over again. Not only is she an amazing photographer but she is also a total joy to work with. She was professional, generous, and timely in all she did - going far above and beyond what we would have expected. We can't thank her enough.

    I really can't think of anything negative that I could say about Erika. She was informative, positive, creative, flexible, and very patient. My fiance isn't much of a "smile on cue" kind of guy, but she had numerous backgrounds and settings that allowed for him to relax and eek out some great shots. We were a bit nervous about the weather on the day of the photo shoot, and she was in constant contact with us - proposing alternative sites and dates (she's creative and flexible!) I'd highly recommend her to any of my friends and colleagues. We got some amazing shots - both in color and black and white - that highlighted ourselves together, each other, the ring, and multiple different backgrounds. I love the variety. It was a pleasure to work with her!

    I cannot say enough good things about Erika Nizborski! Her pricing was reasonable- honestly, you are getting a GREAT deal with her! She did our engagement photos as well as the photography for our wedding. We met before our engagement session and did a walk through before the wedding. She was always very responsive to emails, which put my type-A personality at ease. She brought along great assistants for each of our sessions, they were always professional and very helpful. Her assistant at my wedding event took over lining up my family members for photos! We loved our photos from the day. She did a great job telling our story, capturing the candid moments, and taking lovely portraits that we will treasure in the years to come. I would certainly hire her again in the future.

    Erika's photos of our wedding are absolutely incredible! We loved meeting and planning with her before the big day and working with her during the main event was easy and fun. Not only do we appreciate the gorgeous photos she took, but we are also grateful for the professional and gentle way she worked with our families and funky, diverse friends to get so many great shots. Some photos of our nephew are so cute they'll probably make the little guy famous! We are so happy we found Erika; we had a great wedding and she was an important part of helping it turn out so well.

    Really appreciated that Erika took the initiative and scoped out the shoot area beforehand, very thoughtful. Very professional yet gracious behavior with all in the shoot. Creative touch. Our schedule for her was rushed, but she handled it like a pro. The payment flexibility was convenient and caring. Finally, the photos are going to be loved by all! Captured the day beautifully. Thank you so much. Forever appreciative. (Sending hug)
    God bless.
