North East Wedding Photographer
Beautiful Moments, Exceptionally Captured
Hi, I’m Erika—a multi-award-winning reportage wedding photographer based in Newcastle, capturing natural, elegant wedding stories across the North East and throughout the UK. My approach is all about mood, emotion and timeless storytelling. All without the awkward posing!
I've been photographing weddings, elopements and engagements across the North East since 2012, capturing nearly 300 weddings along the way. I work discreetly and unobtrusively in the background, allowing you to relax, be yourselves and enjoy every moment of your wedding day.
My Wedding Photography Style
Natural
The best photography happens when you're being yourself. My approach is to blend into your day, at the edges of the action, photographing moments naturally as they unfold, so you can stay present, fully immersed in the wedding you've been dreaming of.
Timeless
Inspired by the rich tones and character of film photography, I create images that feel just as beautiful decades from now as they do today. Thoughtful composition, atmospheric light, and enduring colour give your photographs a timeless quality, without losing the feeling of the moment.
Storytelling
From morning preparations to the final dance and everything in between, your photographs come together to tell the complete story of your wedding day. The atmosphere, the spontaneous moments, the laughter and tears, and all those little interactions that make your wedding uniquely yours.
Over the years, I've learned that being a wedding photographer is about so much more than taking beautiful pictures. I've been a calming presence when nerves take over, a helping hand when plans change and a reassuring voice when things don't quite go as expected. It's this experience, care and attention to detail that I bring to every wedding I photograph.

A CINEMATIC KIND OF LOVE
NORTH EAST WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & CHICKEN WHISPERER
Behind the Lens: Erika Tanith
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll usually find me outdoors, exploring the North East's mountains, woodlands and coastline. Or at home with my army of free-range chickens who treat our back garden like their personal kingdom and routinely sneak into the kitchen for treats.
I also love getting lost in a good book—whether it's Scandi noir, fantasy, sci-fi (40k nerd!) or something wonderfully strange. I'm also partial to gloriously bad horror films, where the rubber monsters and questionable acting are just as funny as they are horrific.
REAL WEDDINGS IN NEWCASTLE & ACROSS THE NORTH EAST

No two weddings are ever the same, and that's what makes photographing them so special. From elegant city celebrations in Newcastle to intimate countryside weddings and coastal venues, every day brings its own atmosphere, personalities and unforgettable moments. My documentary approach combines natural storytelling with thoughtful composition and beautiful light.
