“When we were looking for a wedding photographer, we didn’t just want someone to take pictures—we wanted someone who would see us. Someone who would capture the love, the laughter, the quiet moments, and the pure joy of our wedding without hesitation, without filters—just as it was. And Erika Soileau Photography did exactly that.

From the first click to the final edit, she made us feel celebrated, comfortable, and like the most radiant versions of ourselves. Every photo tells the story of our love in a way that feels so us—the stolen glances, the belly laughs, the tears, and everything in between. She didn’t just take pictures; she bottled up the feeling of our wedding day forever.

If you’re looking for a photographer who understands the beauty of LGBTQ+ love (and love in all forms) and captures it with authenticity, passion, and pure talent, Erika is the one. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“This sounds like hyperbole, but working with Erika is a dream. She sees light and love in a beautiful way that becomes palpable in her work. She has vision, professionalism, and humor that makes her so easy to have near. We invited her for three events in our love story. A surprise airport welcome, a tiny moment with nearly no-one present, and an ever slightly larger wedding across the country to a far away forest that none of us had been to. Absolutely we could have hired a local photographer who knew the area. We trusted Erika and she was ready for difficult light, rain, and all of the event and photo spots. She understood what we had in mind and she saw us. She played with us, adventured with us, and captured our story. She wasn’t just our photographer. She is woven into the story she captured, making it all appear effortless. She is a master at her craft, capturing the beauty of tender moments and getting the shots of our dreams. We have been so incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to work with her. We look through our images and honestly, it’s just unbelievable. I was there. Every moment a manifestation of our love, imagination and spirit; and it is with thanks to Erika that we get to look at these memories and be taken back to those moments - whether it was the first hello that wouldn’t be chased with a heart breaking goodbye, private vows of silly songs that calmed an anxious mind, climbing on rocks and laughing in a wedding dress chosen to be washed in the magic of the pacific ocean, perfectly rainy rainforest nuptials, fern drenched witchy night romance, or dance floor magic; she got it all. Epic grand shots. Tiny charm. Erika’s work is a treasure. She is a treasure. And we are just so very lucky. ”
