Erica Penner

Erica was great for our engagement shoot! She made it so easy and natural for my fiancé and I, especially since we aren’t typically picture people. She gave us prompts for natural and stunning photos and had the photos ready for us so fast! We absolutely LOVED the photos and have her booked for our wedding, can’t wait!

Working with Erica was an absolute dream! Thank you so much Erica for making our engagement photos come to life! Where do I begin? She met us at our favourite trail in Woodstock and we found some beautiful places to take some photos, she took all of our crazy ideas seriously and made them all a beautiful reality! She was prompt with replying via email and she delivered her completed photos in a way that’s so easy to have them on different devices! I do not have a negative thing to say about Erica!Thanks again! And will definitely be thinking of you for our wedding in a few years!

We won a giveaway with Erica and had our session with her in July. Absolutely WONDERFUL. She did an amazing job and made us feel so comfortable. She was also incredibly patient with our toddler who’d never been to the beach and decided he’d rather play in the sand than be in photos. It was a quick session, since it was past our baby boy’s bedtime, and yet she got SO many great shots! I’d definitely recommend Erica.

Erica made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera for the first time! She took all our awkwardness and nerves and turned them into beautiful engagement photos. She was very easy to get in touch with which made us feel even more confident about our decision because we weren’t waiting weeks for a reply. As soon we we left our shoot we knew we’d be booking with her for our wedding!

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos with Erica, we absolutely love them. Erica has an amazing eye for detail. It was our first time having photos done together as a couple and she was very helpful in giving us prompts that really helped us get comfortable. She did an outstanding job at capturing real emotion. She was also very professional to work with. Thank you again for the amazing photos.

Erica is such a fantastic photographer! She is of the utmost professionalism, yet once you get comfortable with her, she becomes even more engaged and casual, while still maintaining that professionalism. I love the photos she produced from the portrait session she shot for me, from the quality to the style and posing, the posing of which she aided me with in a very easygoing manner. Again, I love the outcome of my photos, and I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for wedding photos, engagement sessions, or even just portraits like myself. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!

My fiancé and I were so excited for engagement photos but also nervous that we would be too uncomfortable and awkward in the photos, as we’ve never had them professionally done. Erica was fantastic. She made us feel comfortable right away, was very professional and super friendly. I will recommend Erica to anyone!

To sum up our experience working with Erica for our wedding in one word: disappointing. She did not seem interested in our special day whatsoever. Most of the photos that made it into our wedding album of 280 photos were of food, were out of focus, or we were caught blinking/talking. We have attached some of our least favourite photos here. Out of our entire wedding album there are maybe 80 photos that we will keep. Maybe 2 are worth printing and hanging up. Save yourself as much as $3300+ (the price will go up as soon as you contact her!) and have your guests take photos on their phones. They'll do a much better job than Erica! She is not professional at all. She is not a professional photographer - she can barely use her camera! And, she will not behave professionally at your wedding. But she will likely take alcohol home with her! If we could leave zero stars we would. We have reached out to her to express our disappointment and she is not even willing to work with us to provide any additional photos or re-edited photos (she took at least 845 photos total). She would only offer a refund of $250 for ruining our memories of what should be one of the best days of our life.

Wow what can I say about Erica! Well she was soooooo nice when my now husband and I first met her at our engagement session and the way that she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera on both the engagement session day and the wedding day as well! I cannot recommend her enough! She deserves the highest of ALL high praises the photos that she took for both the engagement and wedding day turned out perfectly! She is sooooooo talented and beyond amazing! If your looking for an amazing photographer for your engagement, wedding, maternity photos she’s your girl! Thank you again SOOOOOOOOO much Erica my husband and I LOVE our photos!!

We booked Erica for our wedding and we couldn't be happier! Erica was super responsive and easy to communicate with right from the beginning. She was great at finding the balance between giving us direction and letting us bring our own ideas to the shoot. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful! We would recommend Erica to anyone looking for a flexible, personalized, and quality photographer!
