About Erin Kim Photo

Erin

LA Wedding Photographer

I don’t really believe in personality archetypes, but I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m an INFJ, Enneagram 2w1, Type O and a Libra. If that’s gibberish to you, you're probably a better person than I am, and all you have to know is that I am a sociable person who obtains fulfillment from helping others. I’m a morning person, an embarrassing dancer, family woman, and forever learning how to live a more loving, purposeful, and sustainable life. I first picked up a camera to use as a creative outlet while studying Bioengineering at university.

I shot my first wedding and it was truly a pivotal point in my photography journey. For the first time, I experienced how powerful it was to immortalize a beautiful moment that could never be manufactured or re-created. Not gonna lie, having “technically sound” photos is still a priority, but I’ve learned that, it’s about capturing life, not fabricating it. Giving families photos to cherish now and forever is undeniably the best part of the job and it is a genuine privilege when I get to capture the moment when best friends become bests friends for life.

Although it doesn’t always feel like it, your wedding should be all about you and your spouse-to-be. Most often, I am a documentary style photographer. Your story is unique and personal, so I have no intention of writing it for you! I’ll just be there to witness and capture the love, joy, and (probably) tears on your big day.
I know how odd it feels to get your photo taken. Don’t worry about being awkward - everyone thinks they are, but no one truly is in the moment. My photography journey started with fashion photography and through that, I have been trained to direct models to capture details and emotion. When guidance is needed, I can pose, direct, and prompt you while still producing an intimate and truthful image.
Each one of my packages varies in the number of photos delievered. I don't have a set cutoff number of images, but a good rule of thumb to follow is 60-90 images / hour. If there are more images, I will deliver those as well.
Your gallery will be in your inbox in 6-8 weeks from your wedding date! I know that the wait for photos can be pretty grueling, so I will post a highlight reel of your wedding on my blog in 2-4 weeks so you can share them with your friends & family
When I send out your gallery, I want you to be able to enjoy your photos immediately! Therefore all shared images will be edited. RAW files are an unfinished product, so no RAW files will be shared.
Hell yeah! I love capturing engagements, elopements, and weddings all around the world and take on a limited number of travel dates per year. I don't have set travel fees, but just have you cover the bare minimum. I'll figure out the logistics on travel costs and give you a quote before booking so you don't have any surprise costs.
Yes. Absolutely. 100%. An engagement session is a wonderful time to get to know each other, spend some quality time with your spouse to be and have fun! I know that many people feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, so it's a good opportunity to show you that it's not as scary as you think.
