"Ernst was a bride's dream. He was superb! Friendly, accommodating, trustworthy and so professional. I think when we first spoke I told you that the work of yours I had seen is stunning. I can now vouch that the stunning part starts with the photographer from within and is simply projected through the lens." Jennifer Shadur

Creating Storytelling

.

Every image is more than a photograph—it’s a feeling, a memory, a story waiting to be told. I seek the quiet, in-between moments—the raw, unscripted beauty that lingers long after the day has passed. With an eye for detail and a heart for storytelling, I capture more than what’s seen—I capture what’s felt. Every frame holds truth. Every image preserves the fleeting, the intimate, the unforgettable.

“If you’re on the hunt for a wedding photographer, just stop right here. Ernst captured our wedding day perfectly. He was like a ninja, capturing every laugh, every tear, and every moment of pure joy. His photos tell the story of our day better than words ever could. Ernst has an eye for detail, a knack for making people feel comfortable, and a price point that won’t break the bank. Ernst, you’re an absolute legend! Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully.”  Ali & John

 

Whether you’re saying “I do” in a cozy church, a grand ballroom, or your own backyard, my goal is simple: to preserve the genuine emotions and connections between you, your fiancé, and your loved ones—creating a timeless story of your day as it naturally unfolds.
