Some of my wedding work @ www.bigfatcake.com

Back in August for my Moosehead Lake Wedding up in Greenville, Maine. I got to shoot an awesome wedding on Moosehead Lake itself. What a wonderful wedding it was! I actually turned my wedding up there into a mini-vacation w/ my family, starting off in the Old Quebec for a few days and ending up in Greenville, ME, where we were one with nature! {Defnitely a great trip! } At Chelsey’s wedding, I got to work with two wedding coordinators from www.pinkorchidweddings.com  located in Boston. Recently, they were invited to be a guest blogger at: BIG FAT CAKE, http://www.bigfatcake.com. You can see the fun pictures that I took of the Moosehead Wedding up there as well as some interesting tidbits Pink Orchid Weddings shared with BIG FAT CAKE.  P.S. At the wedding I worked with my extremely talented New England secondary shooter Meredith Perdue: http://www.andunlimited.com and some of photos are on the blog as well.

Ilona & Arek’s Wonderful Wedding! {Oct. 11th 2009 | LIC-Westbury Manor} by: erica lyn photography

Ilona & Arek! What can I say? I love them! They were such a pleasure to photograph and I could have shot them all day if I had it my way, but of course a reception has to start and they have to enjoy that… I can’t be greedy! I am still sifting through the hundrds upon hundreds of pictures I took of their wedding, but wanted to share a quick few teasers in the interim. Enjoy!montage 1montage 2montage 3

A few weeks ago, I got to travel near my old stomping grounds in Sussex, NJ. For those of you who don’t know, I grew up in Milford, PA, about 50 minutes away from Sussex. Milford is about 1 & 50 minutes away from the city.  Lisa & Michael had their most awesome reception at the Grand Cascades Lodge, which overlooked an expansive golf course, panoramic mountains and really, pure serenity :) I shot Lisa & MIchael’s engagement shoot about a few weeks prior to their wedding (attached a picture  below)  All in all, super fun couple, super hot day, super wonderful photos!!

KaTrina & David’s NYC Wedding (More to Come)

Old Hollywood Glamour was the theme for the gorgeous bride KaTrina. The groom David didn’t look to bad himself What a great, low-key, intimate wedding this was! The ceremony took place in Central park, not too far off from Bow Bridge. We took some great shots in Central Park, finishing up in Times Square and then headed off to the party, which was on a gorgeous roof top balcony, with the DJ spinning awesome tunes for the next few hours. Great time! (More pics soon to follow)
