Hi, I'm Erika!

 

chillest photographer ever 😎

 

I’m an intimate wedding + family photographer who calls northern New Jersey home, but at my absolute happiest when I’m in a cabin in the woods somewhere. My husband and I have been married since 2013 and built our relationship on road trips and weekend getaways to upstate NY. We now have three little (very silly) kids, who we’re totally obsessed with and think are the best humans ever, though we’re probably a little biased. I’m so lucky.

 

I'm so proud to be a small business owner for 10+ years and able to provide personal, one-on-one experiences to all my clients. Erika Koop Photography, LLC was officially established in 2014 after I began photographing weddings and families in 2012. From 2008-2015, I worked in NYC as an event photographer and photo editor at the World Trade Center with Silverstein Properties. I graduated with honors from Muhlenberg College in 2008, double majoring in studio art and anthropology.

WORKING WITH ME...

 

My photography is vibrant, happy, and relaxed and I want my clients photography experience to be easy-going and natural. My guided-documentary shooting style and true-to-color editing style create timeless images that show a lot of smiles and a whole lot of happiness. As a small business, I personally handle everything beginning to end, so you'll be working with me directly through the entire process.

 

Taking beautiful, real photos is obviously the overall goal, but my highest priorities are also clear communication, organization, and comprehensive planning to provide my clients with the best possible experience and photos they envision. I strive for all my people to feel taken care of, valued, and like they are working with a friend, who has their back 100%.

 

 

 

WHAT my clients and I have in commoN...

 

📝 We're list makers and organized

📸 We want to be true to ourselves in photos

😌 We like to keep things calm, we're more introverted + awkward

🌿 And we love spending time outdoors!
