About Erika Grace
Hi I'm Erika! Owner & Lead Photographer of Erika Grace Photography. I'm a wife and a mom to our baby boy named Crue and we have a tabby cat, named Mia. I've been capturing weddings for 10 years with a BS degree in Photography from UCF (GO knights!). My skill has developed from both a formal education and experience out photographing. You can expect a hands on approach with gentle direction and encouragement. Many of my clients say I have a organized & sweet personality that has made them feel comfortable in front of my lens and I want to "click" with you too.
So, let’s get to "clicking" and making beautiful memories together!

Meet my associate Photographers
I watched my parents build a tree removal business together in the 90’s. It was risky and scary for them. They did not have a lot of money or a higher education to justify their credibility to open a business. Financial freedom and abundance was placed on their heart but it required a risk. I’m thankful my parents did not allow fear to oppress them into thinking the American Dream was out of reach. I was once that little girl drinking a yummy 7/11 Slurpee on my dad’s very first work truck. I’m really proud of my parents and where we came from.
Humble beginnings started with my parents and a seed of hope.

I am thankful to have had both sets of grandparents married 50+ years until they past away. I look at old black and white prints they stored in worn out albums and I think about all the love and memories they must have shared. Even the not so happy times, but they continued to choose each other and fight for a marriage that lasts. I can't help but feel inspired and I want to share a little piece of that hope with my couples. Classic black and white edits are my FAVORITE and will be included in your gallery!
Believing in a love that stands the test of time

2015 is special to me. The year my grit and faith was tested. I value education both in a hands on approach & with a formal education. So in 2015 I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Photography from the University of Central Florida, two photography internships (Orlando Magazine and Snap! Orlando gallery) , and a few years of shooting experience under my belt. This was the year I took the leap of faith right after graduation to establish myself as a corporation and begin growing my brand. I feel very fortunate to be entrusted by so many couples and families with their photography experience since then!
Fast forward to 2015
