Some wedding photos are meant for Instagram. Others are meant to be passed down for generations. For Erika Black Photography, it’s all about the latter.
Photographing weddings throughout Michigan and surrounding states since 2017, Erika approaches every celebration with one goal: creating images that bring couples right back to how their wedding day felt, even thirty years later.
Photography With an Artistic Point of View
Based in Metro Detroit, Erika specializes in creating legacy art. With an art background, she brings a creative eye to wedding photography, blending each couple’s natural chemistry with an elevated, intentional style.
Her biggest inspiration? Authenticity. Rather than making every wedding look the same, she finds ways to highlight what makes each couple and their celebration different.
A Personal Experience From Start to Finish
For Erika, the experience behind the camera matters just as much as the finished gallery.
From handwritten notes to personal messages throughout the planning process, she makes sure couples hear directly from her, not another automated response. This thoughtful approach makes the entire photography experience feel more personal.
And while Metro Detroit is home base, Erika loves traveling throughout Michigan for weddings. After living in the state for more than a decade, she’s developed a serious appreciation for its scenery and the variety of beautiful places couples choose to celebrate.
A Little More About Erika
When she’s not photographing weddings, Erika also works as a Michigan real estate agent.
At home, life revolves around her husband and their two cats, Banjo and Tunic. She and her husband love traveling together, but they’re just as happy spending a night in with board games or a movie. Kayaking, reading, and spending quality time together are also high on their list.
That appreciation for life’s everyday moments carries into her work, where the little details and genuine connections matter as much as the big celebrations.
