About Erica
Hey, I’m Erica – I Photograph Weddings as They Really Happen.
ABOUT ERICA
Ohh, where to start!! Shall I tell you all about my love of photography first, or how much I absolutely love being a mum and that it’s the best job in the world (it really is!!) No, I’ll start with my cats. I am the proud owner of two of the most hairy cats in Hitchin: Richard Parker (aka RP) and Luner. Luner is the pretty one, who knows she’s totally beautiful and struts around our house like a true DIVA. What Richard Parker lacks in beauty, he sure makes up for in affection. And when my kids and husband are annoyed at me about something, I always know RP will give me love. He is the absolute best (you are allowed a favourite pet, I checked).

A Lifelong Passion for Telling Stories
I enjoy creating images, through photography, design, film or drawings. My drawing skills are less impressive than my photography ones, but I still enjoy a good doodle! My family and friends are what keep me ticking, photography taking a close second place. I cherish the happy moments in life and get pure joy from my kids when they smile.
I have a degree in media production and feel fortunate I have been able to put my creativity into practice, both professionally and personally. I love photography and cameras, a day spent playing with my camera, or experimenting with a new lens is a great day in my book! I am a geek, camera spec’s interest me.
