Engagement/Proposal Reviews

Sarah and Anthony

Surprise proposal, Saratoga State Park, Saratoga Springs, NY

Anthony's words: Let me first start off by saying, I'd recommend everyone go see Erin for any photography needs you may have. My mom used Erin for my sister's Senior pictures last year and they were BEAUTIFUL. In deciding to propose to my now fiancee, she had one thing she requested. "Whenever it happens, I want someone there to capture the moment of us." After seeing my sister's Senior pictures, my choice was obvious. I reached out, and Erin did so much more than capture the moment - she created everlasting memories.

Not only is Erin the easiest person to talk to, she gives her perspective on your thoughts and ideas. She helps create exactly what it is you are picturing, then makes it even better. Her prices are extremely fair, especially given how high quality her pictures are.

Erin is a perfectionist, and her work shows just that. The pictures she captured of my surprise proposal are something my family will treasure for the rest of our lives, and Erin is the one I can thank for that.

Erin Malcolm Photography is my first, last and only choice for pictures in the Capital Region. You can guarantee I'll be using her again.



Sarah and Matt

John Boyd Thacher Park, Voorheesville, NY

Sarah's words: I was able to see Erin and her husband Jeff in action at my fiance's sister's wedding. So when my fiance proposed to me, there was no question - Erin had to be our photographer. I reached out to Erin to discuss engagement photos. Erin was quick to respond and answered all my crazy questions. Not only are the pictures beautiful keepsakes we will treasure forever, but they are clean and stunning images. We were nervous going into it but Erin made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We had our pup in the photos as well...and she can be a handful. Erin was so patient and got the best shots with how rambunctious she was. We had the best experience and can't wait to have her do our wedding photos!



Natalie and Dave

Peebles Island, Waterford, NY

Natalie's words: We are so happy we found Erin! Our engagement photos were phenomenal!! Erin made us feel extremely comfortable and made the experience a lot of fun. Erin is very attentive, often taking the initiative where she saw a need. She is also very organized and on top of things! Our engagement photoshoot couldn't have gone better and we are thrilled with the photos. Do not hesitate to call her! She's the best decision you'll make!! Can't wait til our wedding and how much fun it will be shooting with Erin again.


Dave's words: Erin is fantastic! She did our engagement photos and will be doing our wedding in January. I was afraid the engagement session was going to be awkward, but Erin made it a ton of fun. The photos look great and I can't wait for her to shoot the wedding.



Michelle and Adam

Mohawk Harbor, Schenectady, NY

Michelle's words: We hired Erin to be our wedding photographer after meeting her at a wedding show and falling in love with the photos she had on display. We recently had our engagement session with her and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Her enthusiastic personality made us feel completely at ease. The photos turned out amazing, and we can't wait for her to shoot our wedding!



Courtney and Romello

Riverview Orchards, Rexford, NY

Courtney's words: My fiance and I were beyond pleased with our experience with Erin for our engagement shoot. It had been a long time for both of us since we had our pictures professionally taken, so we were both nervous and did not know what to expect. Erin made us feel extremely comfortable throughout the process, and was constantly fixing our hair/clothes and adjusting our positioning. Erin was very knowledgable of different positions/poses and prepared with ideas to make our session in an apple orchard special. And Jeff was just an added bonus, between being a great sidekick for optimal lighting, to making us feel comfortable with his humor and (dad) jokes. Erin and Jeff were flexible with our ideas and allowed us to get in a couple extra shots at the end of our session. Thank you, Erin, for our beautiful pictures from our engagement shoot. Looking forward to amazing pictures from our wedding 10.15.22.



Jamie and Zach

Thacher State Park, Voorheesville, NY

Zach's words: As much as we enjoyed the scenery of the state park, 90% of it had to do with the professional & fun environment created by our photographers. They found ways to lighten the mood & kept us laughing, talking, having fun, & they even managed to capture the ever elusive great photos of our son. Our toddler never wants to sit still, but they worked miracles & when we saw the photos, we were amazed. They were clear & specific with their directions, the poses, how to best blend in with the scenery, & right now, out of all of our vendors, we feel the most confident in the choice we made in going with them as our photographers. Highly recommend!



Danielle and Bryant

Ann Lee Pond/Shaker Heritage Society, Latham, NY

Danielle's words: Erin was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She captures mine and my fiances personalities perfectly - even when we asked for some very specific nerdy photos, haha. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, which isn't the easiest thing to do for us. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Lori's words (Kelsi's mom): Beyond impressed with Erin's photography and professionalism! Hired her for my daughter's engagement photos, and she was absolutely amazing! She thinks of all the little details and takes control of the photography session, which is what I've been looking for! She has passion for what she does and it truly shows in her work.

I hope she will always be a part of our family events! Thank You, Erin!

Emily's words: We used Erin Malcolm recently for a sibling photo session to surprise my fiance's parents and it was wonderful! She had so many ideas on what would look good and she helped us with everything - from what to wear during the shoot to how to pose for pictures. She's great at making you feel comfortable and the pictures we received were of such high quality. She was quick to respond to any questions we had and was a blast to work with. Erin even did a mini engagement session for me and my fiance, which was such a fun surprise! Thank you Erin!
