Your wedding day isn't a photoshoot.

It's your dad trying not to cry when he sees you. Your grandma on the dance floor. The nervous hands, the belly laughs, the ugly cries, the dress getting a little dirty, and all those tiny moments happening around you that you're way too busy GETTING MARRIED to notice ❤

That's what I'm there for.

Of course we're going to make time for the gorgeous portraits— But I don't want you spending your entire wedding day posing for pictures.

I want you to actually live it.

Laugh with your friends. Hug your people. Dance your booty off. Cry when you need to. Sneak away with your brand-new spouse for a minute. And if it starts raining? Well... you already know I'm probably going to make you go play in it 😂

I'll guide you when you need me, wrangle the family when it's time for portraits, help keep the timeline moving, carry the dress, fix the veil, and quietly photograph everything happening in between.

Because years from now, I don't just want you to remember what your wedding looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt ❤️

Small Wedding?


No two wedding days look exactly the same, so your photography coverage shouldn't either ❤️  Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony or a full freaking day of getting ready, happy tears, portraits, dancing, and everything in between, we'll choose the amount of coverage that makes sense for your day.

Wedding collections begin at $2,300, with options ranging from 5–8 hours of coverage. Collections include two photographers, so while I'm photographing the big moments, there's another camera catching all the little things happening around you.

Not sure how many hours you need? You don't have to figure that out alone. We'll talk through your timeline and what matters most to you, and I'll help you choose the coverage that actually fits your wedding.

What to Expect When You Book Me for Your Wedding ❤️

Once your wedding photographs are ready, you’ll come into the studio for your wedding premiere and get to experience the whole day all over again—without the nerves, timeline, and 100 people trying to talk to you! You’ll take home your custom-printed USB with all of your wedding images, and I’ll have an online gallery ready so your friends and family can relive the day too.

And because I want you to actually see what your wedding photos could look like somewhere other than a screen, I’ll even have a custom album preview designed and ready for you! Because one day, your wedding will feel like it went by in the blink of an eye—and this is how you get to hold onto it ❤️

3. Let’s Build Your Wedding Day

4. YOU’RE GETTING MARRIED!! 🎉

5. Relive It All ❤️

1. Let’s Talk Weddings 💍

Once you reach out, we’ll schedule a consultation to talk about YOU TWO—what you’re planning, what matters most to you, what you’re excited about, and what you definitely don’t care about. We’ll talk through your wedding plans and photography coverage, and I’ll help you figure out which collection makes the most sense for your day. Once you’re ready to make it official, your contract and $600 retainer reserve your wedding date! ❤️

Now the fun stuff starts! We’ll talk about your engagement session, bridal portraits, boudoir session, albums, artwork, and anything else you want to add to your wedding experience. I’m here for questions, ideas, timelines, locations, vendor recommendations, and all the random “Is this normal?!” wedding-planning texts along the way.

As your wedding gets closer, we’ll sit down and go through the whole  day - We’ll build your photography timeline, make your family photo list, talk through all the important people and details, and figure out when we need to be where. This is where we make sure there's time for the photos you want without missing all the fun with your guests.

Wedding day is finally here—and now you get to enjoy it!! I’ll guide you when you need it, keep us moving when we need to move, wrangle the family for portraits, fluff the dress, fix the veil, carry the flowers, and probably tell somebody what to do with their hands  😂

But I'm also watching everything happening around you—the tears, belly laughs, hugs, dance-floor chaos, Grandma doing something hilarious, and all the little moments you didn't even know happened. Your job is to get married. My job is to make sure you remember it!

"Book her now!!! My husband and I got our engagements done as well as our wedding with Erin and I can not recommend her enough! She has good turn around time, excellent recommendations for places to shoot, super easy to work with and her photos did not disappoint. Her online portal is easy to navigate and download the photos. Her prices are unbeatable. Seriously, in love with her work. My husband and I are not great at getting our photos taken and did not have poses or a shot list made up but Erin picked up our slack and had plenty of ideas. And she travels!!"

- Millie Killpack

Erin did our engagement session and our wedding ceremony! She drove to our farm for both! She is so friendly and made us feel very comfortable!! The online gallery was ready quickly and easy was to use!! Our pictures turned out amazing!! 100% recommend!!! Book with her!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

- Audrey Beck

"When we had to change photographers at the last minute, our coordinator recommended Erin, and we could not be more thrilled that she did! Erin is sweet, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I've never met a photographer who can capture emotion quite like she does. Her photos are so vibrant, creative, and beautiful that it's almost like you can feel them. If you have the opportunity to work with Erin, do not pass it up!"

- Susannah Brogan

How much does wedding photography cost in Springfield, Missouri?

My wedding photography collections begin at $2,300, with options based on how many hours of coverage you need.

Every wedding is different, so during your consultation we’ll talk through your plans, timeline, and what’s most important to you. I’ll help you figure out how much coverage actually makes sense—because there’s no reason to pay for eight hours if your wedding only needs five ❤️

How far in advance should we book our wedding photographer?

The sooner you know your date, the better! Popular spring and fall Saturdays can book well in advance, especially during peak wedding season in Southwest Missouri. That said, planning something sooner? Ask me anyway! If your date is available, we can absolutely make it happen 💍   You can check this page for open Saturday dates!!

Do your wedding collections include a second photographer?

All my wedding collections include two photographers, except the 'Going to the Chapel' package created for micro weddings ❤️

Having two of us means we can be in two places at once—one photographing you getting ready while the other is with your partner, one capturing your first kiss while the other catches Mom crying, and twice as many dance floor photos!! There is SO much happening at a wedding, we want to catch as much of it as possible. 

Do you help us create our wedding-day timeline?

Before the wedding, we’ll sit down and go through the entire day together. We’ll plan your photography timeline, family portraits, wedding party photos, couple portraits, and all the important moments you want documented - My goal is to make sure we have time for everything you want without making your wedding feel like one giant photoshoot.

What happens if it rains on our wedding day?

First of all: don't panic! Some of my favorite wedding photographs have happened in rain, snow, crazy wind, and completely unexpected Missouri weather.

We’ll have a backup plan when we need one, work with whatever Mother Nature gives us, and if there’s an opportunity to sneak outside for an incredible photograph between storms—or go play in the rain—you already know I’m probably going to talk you into it 😂 📸

Do you photograph weddings outside of Springfield, Missouri?

YES! I photograph weddings throughout Southwest Missouri, including Springfield, Branson, Nixa, Republic, Ozark, and beyond. I’m also happy to travel throughout Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

Getting married farther away than that? Even better 😂 ✈️   Check out my Destination Wedding Photography page, because you really don't have to twist my arm to get me on a plane!

Do you photograph small weddings and elopements?

Absolutely! Big ballroom wedding, backyard wedding, tiny ceremony with your closest people, courthouse wedding, or just the two of you somewhere beautiful—I care a whole lot more about the people and the story than the size of the guest list ❤️  Check out the 'Going to the Chapel' package, it was made for smaller weddings and elopements 🥰


Do you offer engagement, bridal, and boudoir sessions?

YES! ❤️  And wedding clients receive these sessions at half the price!!

Engagement photos give us a chance to work together before the big day (and get rid of those “what do I do with my hands?!” nerves 😂), bridal portraits give you time to actually enjoy being in that gorgeous dress without a wedding-day timeline breathing down your neck, and boudoir makes a pretty amazing wedding gift 🔥

When do we get our wedding photos back, and do we get them all?

YES—you get them all!  Your finished wedding gallery will typically be ready within 8-10 weeks of your wedding day.

Once they're ready, you'll come back to the studio for your wedding premiere and get to relive the whole day 🥰  You’ll leave with a custom-printed USB containing all of your fully edited wedding images, plus an online gallery you can easily share with friends and family.

And because I can't resist, I'll even have a custom album preview designed and waiting for you so you can see your wedding story in print ❤️

Do you offer wedding albums and wall art?

Absolutely — your wedding photos deserve to become more than files on a computer ❤️

Your wedding day will go by ridiculously fast. The flowers will eventually be gone, the dress will be packed away, and before you know it, the day you spent SO long planning will feel like it happened in the blink of an eye.

That’s why I love creating wedding albums, wall art, and beautiful printed photographs that let you keep those memories somewhere you can actually cherish them daily.

When you come in for your wedding premiere, I’ll have a custom album preview already designed with your photographs. You can flip through your wedding day from beginning to end, make any changes you’d like, and decide if you want to invest in this heirloom that can be passed down for generations ❤️
