My experience with Erin Slater as our wedding photographer was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we met, Erin exuded professionalism, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm for capturing our special day.

On the day of the wedding, Erin's friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Despite the unexpected snowstorm, Erin came prepared and adapted seamlessly, turning what could have been a logistical challenge into an opportunity to create magical, fairytale-like photos.

Erin's talent behind the lens is undeniable. She has a keen eye for detail and effortlessly captured the most beautiful moments of our wedding day. Each photograph reflects not only the love and joy we felt but also the intricate beauty of our surroundings.

Beyond her undeniable skill, Erin's helpfulness throughout the entire process was invaluable. From offering advice on locations to patiently guiding us through poses, she ensured that every aspect of our photography experience was perfect.

In summary, Erin Slater is not just a photographer; she's a storyteller who has a gift for turning moments into memories that will last a lifetime. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture the essence of their special day.

I hate to have to write a negative review, but Erin Slater of should not be trusted as a wedding photographer.

We hired Erin for our April 2025 wedding. The package included an engagement session and full-day wedding coverage. We paid in full well in advance and had no reason to expect anything but a professional experience.

Our engagement session went smoothly, though the gallery was delivered a week later than she said she’d send it. Not a big deal, I didn’t even mention it. A few weeks ahead of our wedding, Erin showed up to our pre-wedding consult, walked us through the timeline, and seemed engaged and prepared.

On the day-of, she arrived on time. She and our second shooter, Courtney, were lovely throughout the day. Per our contract, we were supposed to receive our full wedding gallery within six weeks. As she left our wedding, Erin verbally told me we’d receive a sneak peek within one week.

We received neither, and then Erin literally disappeared. I have a string of texts and emails that are just me reaching out again and again, trying to get a response from Erin for an update. From May 16 to June 25, she responded to only one message, on June 10, claiming our gallery would be ready the following week. That deadline came and went with no follow-up, even as I messaged to ask for updates. Then her website went down. Emails began to bounce back. And she continued to ignore any and all attempts to contact her.

The most frustrating part is that I saw reviews a few weeks before my wedding from other brides describing this exact situation: radio silence, no photos. And when they did receive their galleries, no acknowledgement of the situation. I was so concerned that reached out to other photographers, got quotes, and did a few consultations. But because Erin showed up to our pre-wedding call and was still responding to me (noting some “issues” with her website platform), I still gave her the benefit of the doubt and hoped she was back on track.

Now I deeply regret not trusting my gut. Even if it meant losing the deposit and paying more, I wish I had hired someone else. The stress of not knowing when you’ll receive your wedding photos - if at all - is NOT worth being nice or trying to give someone grace. I am a very understanding person and would not have been so angry had Erin just communicated that clearly something is going on and she is extremely behind on galleries.

I finally received my full gallery on June 25, but only after filing a Better Business Bureau complaint and informing her that if she continued to ignore me, I would be filing a Plaintiff’s Claim to begin the small claims court process. I sent that message in the morning — and received the gallery that night.

The edited photos are beautiful. But around 30% of the gallery is unedited, which is frustrating but not surprising, considering she likely just sent me whatever she had because she didn't want to deal with me anymore. At this point, I’m just glad to have our photos in my possession, but it should never take threatening legal action for a client to receive what was agreed upon in a signed contract.

If you’ve booked her, cancel while you still can. If you’re considering her, please don’t. You deserve better than this.

Erin’s team of photographers are professional and fantastic! They were very helpful during our important date

TLDR: Photos are great, but major delay in delivery timeline with no communication and never received film photos that were paid for. Super unprofessional

I’ll start with saying we had a great engagement session, and I love my photos. I think Erin is great at her craft and I truly wish I had a better post event experience. I would like to remind everyone reading this that I did not pick the timelines outlined in the contract, and I did not put in the contract that I “would be contacted directly should there be any delays”. It looks like reading some of the more recent reviews, I was in the slew of brides that Erin overbooked on to create this chaos. On Erin’s website, it states sneak peaks will be available “approximately 7 days or the photographer will be in contact if there are any delays”. I emailed 11 days after my wedding (albeit there was thanksgiving holiday mixed in there) to inquire about the photos and received no response. I emailed again on November 8th to follow up – no response again. The full album was due “approximately 6 weeks” after the event and again, “the photographer will be in contact if there are any delays” – excerpt from the contract. At this point, I realized that sneak peaks were not included in the contract which I personally think was a little sneaky, but that was my fault for not reading it more thoroughly. I emailed her exactly on the 6 week mark (Nov 17th) to look for any sort of status update on my photos. At the same time, I reached out to the second shooter @megmateraphotography to see if she could contact Erin on my behalf. Meg, whilst this is none of her problem because I did not hire her directly, responded to my message almost immediately and was able to follow up that I should be hearing from Erin soon. Erin replied to me two days later (Nov 19th), apologizing for her delay in communication and suggested it was possible my “spam filters” blocked the sneak peak pictures from being received that she had allegedly sent after my email on Oct 17th. All I’ll say on this front is our engagement photos came in with no problem, from the same platform, in addition to nothing being in my junk folder. She said that I would receive my gallery by the end of next week or I would hear from her directly. I did not receive my gallery my Nov 30th and I did not hear from her directly. I emailed on Dec 3rd to ask for an update. I ended up getting my full album Dec 22nd with no contact between Nov 19th and Dec 22nd. On Dec 23rd, we heard from Erin and she expressed what seemed like a genuine apology about the delay in delivery and lack of communication and had offered to mail a complementary photo album alongside the film photos we had paid for. We have not received the film photos we paid for, or this complimentary item, and her email is no longer reachable.

As many brides know, the sneak peaks are used to send thank you mail, and we were unable to do so alongside the stress of not knowing if we’d ever get our photos. I don’t think every bride will have this experience but worthwhile noting as I have seen a couple other reviews on weddingwire that had a similar experience. Overall, I love my pictures and Erin was amazing for the engagement session and on the day of. Knowing what I know now, I would hire Meg (@megmateraphotography) instead. I can’t speak to her post processing for my photos specifically, but her portfolio is similar, she was great to work with on the day of, and she was quick to respond to a problem that wasn’t hers to begin with. For someone who is paying a large sum of money for any kind of service, communication is key.

We DO NOT recommend you choose Erin as your wedding photographer. We are frustrated with her lack of communication and her unprofessionalism.
Prior to our wedding things were ok. We had a few zoom calls and did an engagement shoot which went well although she did not edit the photos in the style we saw on her website.
However, starting from a couple of weeks before our wedding she stopped being responsive to our communication. She did not respond to our phone calls or emails and did not respond to communications from our wedding coordinator either. She did show up and the day went smoothly but the experience following our wedding was awful. The contract states that we are to receive a sneak peek the week after our wedding and the photos within 6 weeks of our wedding. We did not receive a sneak peek and our photos were received 12 weeks after with NO communication from Erin despite us reaching out via email, phone, and even Instagram multiple times.
The photos were decent, although there were some questionable photos that got selected such as people blinking or making funny faces. We had some requests for specific moments and edits to the photos given but the email bounced back.

I used Erin twice before my wedding and everything went smoothy and she seemed nice, however, my wedding experience with her (the most important one) was beyond unprofessional… she breached our contract, and ignored several emails, messages, and various attempts to get hold of her. I am deeply upset over how she treats loyal clients.

I never got a single sneak peak photo (she said at the wedding we would get them), I have never even heard of that.. if Erin had communicated to me that she was busy or behind instead of ignoring all of my messages, I wouldn’t have minded – even if it was a general social media posts to all brides. But as a stressed bride who hadn’t gotten their photos by the date in contract, there should have been some from of communication no matter what. Not to mention, its HER contract. I paid everything on time, treated her well, and I don’t deserve this – no one does. I thought my photos were gone and had several sleepless nights over it. It got so bad I had a group chat with other brides talking about how we can’t get a hold of her (she was online btw). We didn’t understand why she didn’t answer any of us… mind you, this over a couple months, not just a few days.

She only responded once I send an email saying I will go to legal counsel and made a post in a bride group about how concerned I was about my photos. She asked me to take the post down and never acknowledged that she breached the contract. I now also know never to hire someone without a phone number as everyone warned me that was a red flag.

I finally got my photos a couple of weeks later, and luckily, the photos were beautiful. However, Erin forgot to put the PIN in the email for me to download… luckily, she responded to me and provided it, but ever since that day, I have been completely ignored AGAIN. I messaged her the day I got my photos on December 24th letting her know that a couple of photos seem to be missing as my mom has a photo of her taking them (I even sent her photos to explain) - it was actually a really important photo as it was my 99 year old grandpa with my cousins. I also never got a photo of the center piece, bar set up with out custom drink menu, or coffee section where we had custom cups made. I let her have some time as it was the holidays, but it is now February 5th which is over 6 weeks later and she has not responded to my email or Instagram message about the missing photos, which are honestly probably gone by now. I actually wasn't going to post this review once I got my photos, but being ignored yet again when I have concerns over my photos is beyond frustrating.

Aside from this, I told her in our meeting prior that I wanted a group photo of everyone at the wedding and asked when it would be, and she had said it would be after the ceremony. However, I had to reminder after dinner that it hasn’t been done. A brides worry on her wedding day should NOT be the photographer. I should not have had to tell her to take a photo of the center piece, etc. as that seems like common sense, especially since I asked her to focus on the small details. I have also had a few others share with me that she didn’t seem friendly at the wedding, along with noticing a few of the group photos are off-side which is odd for a photographer.

Please do not to put your important photos in the hands of someone who doesn’t care about her clients. I have several friends who had zero problems with their photographer so there are other options out there!

We chose Erin for a small wedding/elopement after talking to several photographers. We could not be more happy with how the pictures turned out - they capture all the beautiful feelings of that day. Erin is lovely to work with, very personable & accommodating. There were a few times when we felt her responses were a bit slow but this was during the busiest part of wedding season, and ultimately, she delivered us our pictures on time and great quality. We absolutely can't stop looking at them over and over! Thanks so much, Erin!

Erin was wonderful. From scheduling the engagement shoot to the day of. We had a great time and appreciated all the different locations downtown Toronto. The photos turned out amazing. Can’t wait for the wedding now!

I am so happy that we booked with Erin for our wedding! She was so professional and I would absolutely recommend her for your wedding photos. Erin was great at explaining how my husband and I should be posing and she made the whole day as smooth as possible! She honestly made it feel like a close friend was taking our photos!!! Thank you so much Erin ❤️🤗

Very nice and polite and helpful prior to wedding..
Day of no single bridal shots, none of the Bridesmaids getting ready ...
Candid shots were good.
Broke contract and had gallery over a month late,
Lack of communication was appalling, Would take weeks IF I got a response.
Ordered the photo package..warning for others .. when advertised "full" picture in album , it means you will get half your people cut out of picture and if you're not OK with it pay for another album .
I have re written this review so many times, as I don't like to down play anybody or be mean but my detailed ones I was told I was too nice as these were supposed to be my wonderful memories of my wedding... unfortunately my husband and I had to get all dressed up again and go and get other pictures done as we needed some we absolutely loved.. I understand I am not photogenic but it's still my wedding day and I paid a lot to have it captured
For the pictures I'm adding are samples of my album I should have been OK with...
Top is the picture I chose for album, bottom is what I got in album (4 samples out of 23 )
