Documentary Wedding Photography
Serving Golden, BC & Beyond!

Story-driven wedding photos with personality and soul.

I guess you’re getting married.
Congrats! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by.


You’re here because you’re drawn to a documentary approach that will capture the emotions and all the personality on your wedding day! Or maybe you accidentally clicked my link in search of elk photos… Either way, the couples I connect with most all have a few things in common: they wear their hearts on their sleeves, they’re deeply sentimental and they have a great sense of humour.

You want your wedding day documented naturally, with more focus on genuine connections so you can look back on your photos years from now and instantly be taken back to all the emotions, chaos and joy that you felt.

I’m here to bring that experience to you.

Behind the Lens

Oh hey, I’m Erin, a documentary wedding photographer based in Golden.

If someone would have told me ten years ago when I moved to the Rockies that I was going to be a wedding photographer I wouldn’t have believed them. The truth is I’ve never really been a “wedding” person and I most certainly have never been the photographer to fuss over laying your dress out perfectly or spending hours shooting decor or flat lays.

This might be a bit risky to admit this in my intro but bear with me – what I’ve come to learn (what my couples have taught me) is that weddings don’t have to be cliche, conventional or boring. And, while I may not be drawn to weddings in a traditional sense, I’m deeply motivated and fascinated in documenting people – in all their vulnerabilities, mess, emotions and nuances. There’s no better day to honour that than on your wedding day.

How it Works

01.

Let’s Connect

I do my best work with couples I feel connected to and how you feel about your photos starts with the experience you have with your photographer.

Getting to know one another will ensure I document the unique story you deserve. So, pull up a chair, grab a glass of vino and let’s connect over a zoom call. You don’t even have to wear pants.

02.

Confirm

If we hit it off, which I’m sure we will and you feel confident in inviting me to document your story then it’s time to lock in your dates along with your deposit. Then we can all get excited for your big day! 

03.

Enjoy.

Relive and share your story whenever and wherever. All my packages include carefully edited, high res digital images shared through an online gallery and delivered to you within 6 weeks of your wedding.

The Experience,
In Their Words

I’m lucky to work with people who let me tell their stories in an honest, documentary way. Seeing the moments I’ve captured resonate with them is always the best part of this “job” — and these words from past clients give a glimpse of what it’s like to work together.

Quick Vibe Check in 60 seconds!

“Erin was SO wonderful to work with for our wedding! From our very first meeting she put us totally at ease, had a great vibe and was open to having fun with us. Her photography style is gorgeous and really captures the feeling of each moment throughout the day. It’s raw and beautiful and candid and the product we walked away with is something we are excited to look at for the rest of our lives. She battled through the heat and SWARMS of mosquitos to get the shots for us and they turned out perfect!! We can’t say enough good things about her and if you hire her I know you will have a great time and some beautiful photos you’ll treasure forever. ”

“Hiring Erin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.”

Got Questions?


Booking me is super simple! Once you know your date and feel like we’re a good fit, just reach out through my contact form or shoot me an email. I’ll check my calendar, chat with you about your wedding, and if it feels right, we’ll lock it in with a retainer. Then it’s official! You’ve got me documenting your story.

My top tier package includes an album. I also include a complementary album design and consult in all packages. Average investment for a full album is $1500.

Reception. This is the part of the day when everyone is finally a little relaxed. It’s where I document the true personalities, the dancing, the chaos and the emotional speeches. There’s also cake, so that helps too.

My editing style is true to colour as I believe it to be the most timeless. My approach is emotive, nostalgic and charismatic. I have a 90/10 method – 90% is documentary, I will be close to you all day capturing those raw and real moments. 10% is spent with some guidance and direction during portraits. You’re getting married in one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world and have spent thousands on looking your best – of course we’re getting those environmental portraits! But, in the end I’m sure what you’ll love most are those little moments that capture the connection and adoration you have for the most important people in your life. I also love to add a little humour to your wedding story because nothing is perfect and that’s what makes it so memorable.

On your wedding day, I take a reserved, observant approach. I step back and read the room rather than direct it, so you won’t find me asking you to pose awkwardly or redo moments. You’re the star of the day, I’m just there to document it. I focus on the joy, the emotions, and the genuine story as it organically happens. Some also say that I’m funny and easy to be around. So that’s nice.

Absolutely! Most of my weddings are held within a 60km radius of Golden which is included in my packages. But, if you’re looking at a venue a little further away please contact me for additional travel expenses.
