Erica Houck Photo

Hey there!! My name is Erica, and I'm a California elopement & intimate wedding photographer, based out of Yosemite National Park, and I occasionally work along side my husband (aka best friend)! We are both big mountain folks, obsessed with our baby dog Bruce, and we're all cozied together in our little home on wheels!

We are both super passionate about Yosemite, as it is very near and dear to our hearts. Not only was our first official date in Yosemite, my husband also used to live and work in the park for a year as a shuttle bus driver/tour guide! Yosemite is truly our second home, and we love meeting and sharing our love and knowledge of the park with my couples!

From the moment you reach out, I'll be there every step of the way to guide you through the elopement process! From navigating permits, locations, what to bring, what to wear..etc.. I'll give you guides and share tips + knowledge from our personal expertise! Wanna travel and take me somewhere new?! We're TOTALLY down and will do our very best to fully prepare us for the big adventure!

I'm the biggest hopeless romantic and a sucker for a good love story. I can't wait to hear about you and your love story, and help you plan your dream day!!

    I booked Erica for a sunrise engagement shoot in Yosemite and her work was stunning! She and her husband Chad were so kind and helpful throughout the shoot. She had great direction and has natural talent. Her photos were amazing 👏 You won't regret booking her. Both Erica and Chad are so knowledgeable about Yosemite, you even get a fun personal tour!

    I booked Erica for a sunset couples photoshoot in Yosemite, and I was actually blown away by her photos, like I couldn’t believe it was my boyfriend and me!! I was absolutely obsessed with every single photo. We had never had professional photos taken, and Erica and her husband Chad made us feel super comfortable and we actually had FUN! Plus she got our photos back to us in less than a week! I HIGHLY recommend Erica and can’t wait for another photoshoot with her!

    Erica did our engagement session in Yosemite in October 2019. She immediately made my fiancé and I feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos came out absolutely stunning! Fast forward to our wedding day on 7/31/21. Erica and her husband Chad we’re truly amazing! They are the sweetest people. They rolled with the punches and even stayed late to make sure we got all of the shots we wanted. Erica got every shot we asked for & got our edited photos back to us FIVE DAYS after the wedding! We are so impressed with Erica and can’t wait to use her again in the future!

    Erica last minute was able to our engagement session in Yosemite National Park. She is honestly one of the nicest, down to earth, understanding person that we know. we absolutely loved working with her and her amazing areas in the park to photographer and her willingness for adventure! Our photos feel so "us" and we adore them as much as we adore Erica. She is so easy, friendly, and communication is great. I wish she was doing my wedding!!! I know that I can always reach out to her about anything and she has helped with things other than photography. You will not regret Erica or her work. she is beyond amazing and I am so happy that I found her. her photos are amazing and so is she!
