    From the moment we booked Clean Plate Pictures, we were impressed with their communication and responsiveness. Erica was always open to our suggestions and worked closely with us to ensure they captured our day perfectly. Her impeccable attention to detail and great eye for the perfect shot were evident in every photo. She was able to herd our many relatives to make the family shoot less stressful, and even made the slightly janky Hyatt Place look elegant in the getting-ready photos. Erica was so friendly and had a strong expertise on the best shots for our venue. We were thrilled that Erica was willing to travel to New York City to shoot our engagement photos as well. We absolutely loved working with Erica (and Elle the second shoot, a dream!) and would highly recommend Clean Plate Pictures to any couple looking for professional, talented, and personable wedding photographers.

    Erica was absolutely amazing to work with from answering all our questions meeting up to the day of and everything in between. Erica and Lee were so amazing and truly captured the little happy moments for our wedding day we had so much fun with them and are beyond thrilled with our sneak peek photos we can’t wait to see the rest! Thank you so much for capturing such a magical time for us and being so wonderful it really was an absolute pleasure working with you️

    Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and patient during our booking process. She helped us build the perfect engagement shoot that was exactly what we wanted. And then on wedding day she was everything we needed -- my now husband has said a few times now that Erica's calm, cool, organized demeanor was a HUGE help for our day-of anxiety. We just got back our full gallery of photos and could not be happier. The images are stunning and everything we'd hoped for. Highly recommend Erica and her team!

    Erica and Elle were a dream to work with for our wedding! After seeing Erica in action at a wedding I was in the bridal party for, we knew we wanted her to photograph our Brooklyn wedding too. From the planning, to wrangling everyone day-of, to the photographs themselves and our wonderful album, we could not have asked for a better person to document our wedding. Since then, Clean Plate Pictures also photographed my sister's wedding and that of a good friend. Erica also referred us to our Coordinator and Photobooth, both of whom we were also incredibly happy with. We can not recommend Clean Plate enough!
