Luxury WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER FOR REFINED COUPLES 

Erin
Youngren

My name is Erin and I'm a luxury wedding photographer that has photographed weddings since 2006 at beautiful destinations all over the world. 
 
Over my two decades of weddings, I've learned how to walk with my couples, slow them down, and help them savor every last precious detail. I believe you have worked incredibly hard to craft a gorgeous celebration that perfectly reflects your love, and I want you to remember more than you ever thought possible - the beauty, the people, the setting... all of it. You just need someone who’s been there before to help you take it all in.

I am a mom of two boys, a yogi, a foodie, and a mountain girl at heart. My favorite place is the back of a good horse and I'll never stop loving the view behind a camera. I am deeply thankful to all of my couples that invite me into their most precious milestones - I get to be a witness to the most powerful moments of my couples' lives, and I never take it for granted.

We are great fit for each other if you are marrying your best friend (just like I did) and you are designing a marriage that is just as beautiful as your wedding.

If that sounds like you, my heart beats in time with yours, and I would be honored to capture your story. 

hugs, 

Erin

More about Erin

I'm a sucker for anything timeless and refined. If it feels like classic mid-century style, I'm in! If there's a heartfelt story behind a detail, I will melt like buttah.

My heart & soul are my two little boys, James & Samuel. I never imagined I'd be a boy mom, but I have a house full of trucks, Matchbox Cars, and rocket ships to prove it. I also have a pair of worn out running shoes from chasing after them on their scooters. They are DAREDEVILS.

If I'm not running after my boys, you'll probably find me in a yoga studio locating my zen. After all, I have two of the hardest jobs on the planet - being a parent and an entrepreneur at the same time. Yoga keeps me centered.

My husband, Jeff, and I traveled the world photographing weddings as The Youngrens for 17 years and made memories we'll never forget. Jeff now works in advertising, but I now photograph under Clove & Kin to keep getting my wedding fix - I just can't stop!

It's about the marriage

I'm the perfect match for you

You're Hosts with the most

You love tradition

You're designing a gorgeous celebration, but you plan on having a marriage even more beautiful than the wedding. 

You're Emotional

You're biggest priority for the wedding day is to spoil your guests... and you're really good at it. 

While your wedding day will be unique to you, you are excited about honoring the traditions and legacies that have come before you. 

It's a toss up as to who will cry more on the wedding day, you or your fiance (or me!)

You're Emotional

You're biggest priority for the wedding day is to spoil your guests... and you're really good at it. 

You are excited about stepping into tradition and honoring the legacies that have come before you. 

It's a toss up as to who will cry more on the wedding day, you or your fiance (or me!)

if...

You're besties

You're marrying your best friend and you love being around each other. all. the. time!

Its true... weddings days simply fly by. Before you know it, the cake will be cut, the dance floor will be empty and you'll be reliving your magical day through your images. 




I know when to step in, slow you down, and help you savor the most important moments before they're gone. I will tell you to pause and listen to the sound of your friends and family at your cocktail hour because that's a sound that will only happen on this special day. I will ask you to smell your flowers, because that fragrance is your unique wedding bouquet. These are the moments I don't want you to miss.
 
This is also why my images feel calm, connected and authentic. Because my couples are grounded and connected to the moment and one another. I create my best work when you are your best selves. 


BEHIND THE PHOTOS

my heart

I call this Savoring and it's at the heart of everything I do. 

However, I believe you can remember so much more of your day because I will guide you.

Wow, did she absolutely blow us away. Erin made us feel so immediately comfortable and allowed my (now) husband and I to really focus on each other and live in the moment so that the photos came out so effortless, candid and beautiful."

Erin had such a warm and calming approach...
