“Erika is not only incredibly talented and fun to work with: she's also one of the most patient people I have ever met! Both Richard and I feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer as she was everything and more that we needed on the day. Xx”

Christine & Richard

“So many guests at our wedding commented on how lovely Erika was; she made even the most camera shy amongst them feel at ease. She managed to capture such beautiful moments and integrated so well on the day it felt like having a friend take the photos.”

Kirsty & Frazer

“Erika you are fantastic. We feel so lucky to have found you to be our wedding photographer. You put us completely at ease and knew exactly how to capture the entire feel of the day. We are blown away, they are better than we ever could have imagined xx”

“On my wedding day Erika was unobtrusive and she felt like part of the family. On the day everyone said how brilliant she was and my photos of the day were better than what I could've wished for. I would recommend Erika to all my family and friends.”

Vegan Wedding Photographer Erika Tanith

ERIKA TANITH | PHOTOGRAPHER

Hi, I’m Erika. Originally hailing from Derbyshire, I then moved “up North” for university, and liked the place so much that I decided to stick around. When I was younger I loved the vibrant city life in Newcastle, and now I enjoy the wild outdoors and beautiful Northumbrian scenery. I like hiking and spending my free time in the countryside, whether it’s up mountains or along the coast, as long as I’m outside I’m happy.

I’m a very enthusiastic person, if I like something I have a tendency to REALLY like it. There are plenty of things on that list; bad horror movies, pet chickens, mixing cocktails, heavy metal, running, and photography.

Photography is top of the list really, I like it a lot. So much in fact that I decided to make it my job. Being a North East wedding photographer you could say is my dream job.

Chicken Pets Vegan Lifestyle

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME…

After my other half, the biggest love of my life is my pet chickens. We started with three, back in 2016, and since then they've multiplied into a wide array of adorable floofs from rare breeds to battery rescue hens. These tiny monsters convinced me to go vegan, and that's filtered through into my work as well. You can blame them for the 100% vegan albums on offer, and the eco-friendly companies that I work with.

As a vegan wedding photographer I aim for an ethical, sustainable & eco-friendly approach, and to reduce my carbon footprint where possible. I try to communicate digitally as much as I can, use email, video calls, and digital download where possible. USBs and boxes are made from natural materials, which has the added bonus of being far prettier than plastic too.

 

TRAVELLING | NEW PEOPLE, NEW PLACES

I’ve always loved to travel. I spent a year in the misty days of my youth travelling through Asia, seeing some beautiful sights and meeting some great people. And I still try and get to see as much of the world as I can, in between shoots and weddings.

My love of seeing new places and meeting new people is the perfect fit for my job as a photographer.
