Kristine Erdmane Photography

I’m Kristine Erdmane — a wedding specialist based in Burton upon Trent, serving couples across the Midlands and beyond. I believe a wedding is a celebration of love and my purpose as your wedding day photographer is to capture the moments that feel true: the quiet glances, the nervous laughter, the twinkle in the eye, and the small details that make your day uniquely yours. Why choose me? I combine a calm, friendly presence with a practiced eye for storytelling. My work is rooted in natural, documentary-led wedding photography — I focus on emotions and atmosphere rather than stiff poses. At the same time, I’ll offer clear guidance when you want it: no need to worry about posing, I’ll show you everything from A to Z. Many couples tell me I feel like a friend on the day — supportive, practical and quietly directing you toward the best light and locations so your photos feel relaxed and beautiful. My approach is personal and flexible. Before your wedding I’ll send a helpful guide to planning photos and we’ll discuss the best moments for couple shots and the ideal light. On the day I blend into the flow of the celebration to capture candid reportage images, then step in with gentle direction for portraits that look natural and confident. I value loyalty, kindness and respect — and I bring that to every client relationship, making the experience enjoyable as well as professional. Engagement photography is a natural extension of my wedding work. Engagement sessions give couples a chance to relax in front of the camera, try out poses, and create beautiful images together before the big day. These sessions also help us build trust, so you’ll feel even more comfortable when I’m photographing your wedding. Born by the Baltic Sea in Latvia, I’ve always been drawn to landscapes and light — that appreciation for atmosphere informs my bridal photography. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or a grand celebration, I’m committed to creating timeless, emotive wedding photos you’ll treasure. Based in Burton upon Trent and happy to travel, I’d love to hear about your wedding plans and help tell your story through thoughtful, heartfelt photography.
