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 and 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 it all. 

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! And 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. While Jeff has set down his camera and now works in marketing, I still love weddings! That's why I have joined our Clove & Kin team 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!)

AWARDS & 
RECOGNITION

Your images are not just meant for today - they’re meant for thirty years from today. 
 
Someday, your kids or nieces and nephews will run around your home in a game of hide and seek, racing by your wedding photos hanging on the walls, and they’ll pause to gather around your wedding album, paging through the moments they weren’t there to witness for themselves.
 
It's because of these future moments that I create images today that will live in your hearts for all of your tomorrows. 

BEHIND THE PHOTOS

the heart

Clove & Kin did both my engagement shoot and wedding and wow, did they absolutely blow us away with the finished product on both. Erin and her team had such a warm and calming approach with us and made us feel so immediately comfortable and allowed my (now) husband to really focus on each other and live in the moment so that the photos came out so effortless, candid and beautiful. We are so grateful for Clove & Kin creating magic for us!

"Erin had such a warm and calming approach..."
