Erika Berendsen Photography

Meet Erika, an award-winning photographer based in the beautiful countryside of Hawkes Bay, with a deep passion for creativity, art, love and romance.

With an expert eye for light, composition and storytelling, Erika creates imagery that goes beyond simply documenting your wedding. Her work is about capturing the essence of your love, the connection, emotion, intimacy and genuine moments that make your relationship uniquely yours.

Her approach is natural, creative and deeply personal. She looks for the authentic interactions between you and the people you love, allowing your personalities and connection to shine through rather than forcing moments into something they're not.

Erika believes the most powerful photographs aren't always the perfectly posed ones. They're the photographs that make you feel something. The quiet glance, the uncontrollable laughter, the way your partner looks at you when you aren't watching - those fleeting moments that hold so much meaning.

With a love for beautiful light, thoughtful composition and artistic storytelling, Erika creates timeless photographs that feel honest, emotive and full of life.

She doesn't just capture moments. She captures emotion, connection and the feeling of being deeply, wildly in love. Creating photographs that tell your story and allow you to feel it all over again for years to come.
