Beautiful photos

Erika was great, from our first meeting to the end result photos. Neither my husband nor I like having photos taken, but you would never know it from the photos. She worked with us on budget as well, since it was a small wedding and we didn't need a big full day package.

Everyone needs Erika at their wedding!

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Erika! She is an incredibly talented photographer, and there is so much life and vibrancy to our wedding photos that looking at them is like reliving the day.

Knowing that she was there to document everything for us made it so easy for me to ignore my phone and just enjoy the moment, which I am so grateful for. Also, when it came to our formal photos my husband and I aren't really ones for posing, but she knew exactly how to put us at ease and grab some truly beautiful shots - while making it fun!

tl;dr Erika is amazing and I want to plan another wedding just so I can hire her again!

Put your fears to rest

Photos are incredibly important. Flowers wilt, decor gets put away, and memories fade but photos are forever. Working with our photographer Lea put all my fears to rest. She was not only incredibly kind and patient, but she helped immensely when I was so stressed and panicking. She worked quietly, made helpful suggestions, asked what it was I needed and made everyone feel comfortable. She was so supportive of what we wanted and made sure we got what we needed. Thank you so much!

The best photographer

Erika was pretty much a complete DREAM to work with. Everything from the engagement shot to the day of. She arrived on time (even tho she was travelling 2 hours from home & there was a shut down on the highway!), and was PERFECT when trying to wrangle all the party and families. Her work is STUNNING & I am beyond obsessed with every single photo. I honestly cannot thank her enough.

We worked with Erika, the owner of Ten2Ten for our engagement photos and wedding day. She was extremely helpful in answering our questions during the planning process, and even provided a number of helpful resources for other aspects of the wedding. She was fun and friendly during our engagement photos and extremely professional in wrangling our wedding party/family for photos on our big day. We can't wait for our photos!

Erika from Ten 2 Ten Photography is absolutely amazing! The pictures she took are breathtaking. We love them all so much it is hard to choose which ones to put on our walls. Though the quality of Erika's work was important to us, it was equally important to have someone who would be able to manage our large bridal party and families. On our wedding day, Erika orchestrated the group perfectly and very efficiently created the many groupings we wanted. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding you will be incredibly happy with all that you get with Erika!

I can't possible fit all the good things to say about Erika into one review! From moment one I knew we had made the right choice in photographer. She is so kind, giving, TALENTED and professional - and a true friend as well! Erika goes the extra mile to make your wedding the perfect day, and your photos become treasures you will have to remember forever. I am in the process of selecting photos to print and eventually for the album, and it is so hard! They are all gorgeous and you want to share them all!

Erika also shows a great deal of tact and professionalism with family and the wedding party. Her thoughtful questions led to helping me with planning all the other aspects of the day - which ultimately made everything smoother and therefore, better! But when the inevitable unexpected things happen, she is great with that too, remaining cool, calm and collected and diffusing the stress.

We had Erika on her own though I know her to work with only second shooters she trusts to be of the best calibre.

Erika was very personable, approachable and awesome! You can tell she's great at adapting to each unique couple and their style. As this is a person who spends a lot of time with you on one of your most intimate and happiest days of your life you want to make sure it's a person you're comfortable and happy to be around - Erika is this person! It was like she was part of the group and easy to be ourselves around. She is also great at helping uncomfortable people (us!) feel more comfortable around a camera (and still getting great shots!). She was very organized, adaptable, professional and FUN! I know the photos she took are keepsakes we'll have for the rest of our lives. She was worth every penny and would recommend 100%!

Erika is an amazing photographer! She made both me and husband feel super comfortable at both our engagement session and wedding day. Erika is such a warm and funny person and when we first met her we instantly felt like we were sitting chatting with an old friend. We are so happy with our wedding photos, they are absolutely beautiful! The value for the service and quality of work was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ten 2 Ten Photography is AMAZING!

Erika is kind, funny and passionate. The service she provided was far beyond my expectations. Erika does not hesitate to do whatever it takes to get the perfect shot. I received a 5 hour engagement session which took place all over Toronto and 10 hours of wedding day photography for an amazing price. The quality of Erika's photographs is phenomenal it shows how much she loves what she does. I wanted a photographer that cared and I got way more than that. If you are considering booking with her don't wait BOOK NOW. You will not be disappointed. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at lisa@ccspeel.org :)
