Caring for people is my love language, and I love small acts of service. Whether that’s being on hand to help a bride who has eloped and doesn’t have a bridesmaid to give practical support or managing a potentially tricky situation before it even arises – I’m detail-oriented and always on top of things! On my off days, you can find me curled up with a good book, perfecting my latte art, or cooking up a storm for family & friends. A night of karaoke is one of my favorite things to do!

meet erin

I’m a father, a husband, and a dreamer led by curiosity and a search for truth. When I’m not parenting or working on creating videos, I’m pursuing all kinds of hobbies and motivated by overcoming challenges. Whether it’s committing to run 100 miles in one month, learning to juggle, or solving a Rubik’s cube in under 60 seconds – there’s always something new that sparks my curiosity. With this curiosity comes a skill for quiet observation. I notice the details that could be overlooked, like the way light reflects off a surface and interesting visual angles. It also means that I can anticipate when an emotionally significant moment is brewing. This is what allows me to capture such emotionally driven, impactful visuals. Outside of my work, I love hanging out at home with my family, making cocktails, and propagating lots of different kinds of plants.

"I would highly recommend Matt and Erin to capture your wedding day. As soon as I saw their photography and read their bio, I knew I had to have them. Our wedding was about as low-key as it gets, but having pictures to capture the day was very important to me. Because it was just my husband and I on the day I also knew I needed someone I could spend my wedding day with and that they would make it FUN and not awkward or stuffy. And we hit the jackpot when Erin agreed to take us on"

Matt and Erin put so much thought and passion behind our photos and video and it was evident. If you are all in on photo but on the fence about booking Lother Co for video, let me be the first to tell you that Matt & Erin are IN SYNC with their products. The photos truly come alive and I was able to see them in a whole new perspective when I watched our film. Lother Co. has formulated the PERFECT balance of professionalism and friendship. Matt, Erin, and the Lother Co. team deliver a product that is valuable and irreplaceable.”

"I didn't know it was possible to re-live an entire day over and over until Lother Co. delivered our wedding photos and video!

FAQ

How do I pull this off without my partner suspecting anything? +

Don’t worry—you’re not the first person to Google “how do I propose without ruining the surprise?” I’ll help you come up with a simple, natural plan that makes sense for your relationship and keeps things relaxed. Whether it’s suggesting a “casual date night” or pretending we’re just out for a scenic walk, we’ll find a way that feels totally believable to your partner—and gives you space to breathe. I’ll also give you tips on timing, positioning, and what to say if you’re caught glancing nervously at your pocket. You won’t be doing this alone.

Can you help me choose the perfect location? +

Yes, absolutely. I know Pensacola and the surrounding areas well and can suggest plenty of beautiful locations based on what you’re hoping for—private, scenic, beachy, woodsy, historic, or completely unique to your story. I’ll help you think through light, crowd levels, and even accessibility (especially if you need a backup plan). We’ll find a spot that’s meaningful and beautiful.

What if the weather turns bad or the location is crowded? +

This is where my calm, adaptable approach really comes in. I always help you choose a backup plan (or two) just in case. And because I’ve worked in all kinds of unpredictable conditions, I can adjust on the fly—shifting locations, finding quiet corners, or embracing the beauty of unexpected weather. Some of the most emotional proposals have happened in soft rain or windy skies. We’ll make it work, and we’ll make it beautiful.

Can I include family or friends in the proposal? +

Absolutely. If you want your people nearby to celebrate after the moment—or even to witness it—I’ll help coordinate that too. We can keep them hidden until the time is right, or create a plan where they “just happen to be there” a few minutes later. I’ll walk you through what makes sense emotionally and logistically so your people feel included, without taking away from the intimacy of the moment.

What if I’m really nervous and don’t know what to say? +

That’s completely normal. Most people are nervous—and that’s part of what makes the moment so powerful. You don’t need a perfect speech. You just need your heart. I’ll send you a few calming tips beforehand, and on the day-of, I’ll be quietly nearby, keeping things steady and supportive. If your hands shake, if you tear up, if you stumble over your words—it just means it matters. And that’s what I’m there to preserve.

How much direction do you give after the proposal? We’re not used to being photographed. +

Most couples I work with feel exactly the same way—and that’s actually my favorite kind of session. After the proposal, we ease into a short photo session, but it won’t be stiff or overly posed. I guide gently, keeping things natural and emotion-led. You’ll mostly just be holding each other, laughing, taking it all in. I’ll be there to notice the quiet in-between moments—the ones you’ll want to remember most.

What if I’m still figuring out how I want to propose—can I reach out anyway? +

Yes. Please do. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we connect. In fact, sometimes the best ideas come through talking it out together. I’m here not just to photograph the moment, but to support you as you plan it. If you’re unsure where to start, that’s a great place to begin. Reach out whenever you’re ready—I’ll meet you there.

You don’t have to have it all figured out yet. Whether you’re still deciding where to propose or already hiding the ring, I’ll meet you where you are and help make the experience calm, meaningful, and beautifully real.
