About Woodland Stories

Woodland Stories is the wedding photography business of Erika, who lives in the hills of the Dandenong Ranges. She works in a documentary style: the images are natural and candid, with a small number of posed shots added where they help. Erika sees a wedding as a story about people as much as the couple. Her coverage takes in the guests, the details and the quiet in-between moments – a look across the room, a laugh during the toasts, a tear in the speeches. On the day she aims to blend in, arriving more like a familiar friend or an interested onlooker than a director. Couples are left to enjoy themselves while she records what happens. She first picked up a camera seriously while at university, where photography was part of her degree, and has worked professionally for close to ten years. The business name reflects both her love of storytelling and the forest setting she calls home. Woodland Stories welcomes every couple – love here has no set gender, sexuality or body shape, and four-legged family members are welcome in the photos too.
