About me
My name is Erica Minni-Ramos and I am a photographer located in Rochester, NY. I graduated with an AAS degree in Photography & Television, then shortly after started E.L.M Photography back in 2013. Sometimes it’s hard to believe it’s been that long & that I have over 10 years of experience now! I can not thank my clients enough for supporting my business over the years and trusting me with their special memories.
My passion is my art and creating lasting memories for my clients. As a photographer for such important moments in people’s lives, my job is not only to capture it, but to build a relationship and connection. I want my clients to be totally comfortable with me and in front of my camera so we can get the most authentic moments!
You may not see her at regular sessions with me, but we work as a team for every wedding. Her name is Melissa Minni (the last name yes, we are related – that’s my little sister!) Melissa could not have been a better fit for E.L.M Photography! She is just as passionate and detail oriented as me. She brings a different set of eyes and creativity, and we are able to fully capture moments from different angles. We take our job very seriously, but we also like to have fun! By the end of your wedding we will probably feel like an extension of your wedding party all while capturing every moment!
Why is having two shooters so important?
There are multiple reasons why having two shooters is significant on your wedding day! Two with experience working together as a team frequently is an extra plus. Firstly and most obvious, we are able to be in two different spots at once. This means you are having more captured as well as different angles and perspectives through out the entire day.
We save time by focusing on different things! For example, in the morning I can focus on the getting ready moments, while Melissa styles and captures your details. As for moments like a first look or walking down the aisle, we’re able to capture both angles and reactions of seeing each other! For family and wedding party photos, I can focus on posing and photographing everyone, while Melissa will have the shot list and be getting the next group ready. This helps things go smoothly and efficently while making sure every one of your photo requests is met. We both always do our best to make sure everything is as perfect as it can be for our couples! There’s so many once in a lifetime moments on a wedding day that having two sets of eyes is a must!
The goal when you view your wedding gallery is to make you feel like you’re reliving every part of the day all over again!
If you want photographers who pay close attention to detail, know how to keep the day on schedule, take their job seriously, but also know how to have fun and above all, genuinely want you & your partner to be happy and comfortable on your special day… then let’s see if we would be a good fit!

What my clients are saying…
“It was an absolute privilege to work with E.L.M Photography from the initial consultation, to planning meetings and of course the finale, our wedding day. Erica and Melissa took complete control of every minute detail, always ensuring the most beautiful shot and capturing every precious moment. Although the E.L.M team was very precise and thorough, they were also incredibly patient; making me and my husband feel completely at ease and as though they were a seamless part of the party during the reception! Even though they had never worked our venue before, they knew EXACTLY how to interpret the room through the lens. The professionalism was incredible from start to finish and the finished products absolutely took our breathe away. Thank you, thank you, thank you E.L.M for giving us timeless photos to reminisce over for years to come. You completely surpassed all of our expectations!” – Tara Ritter
“We hired Erica and Melissa to shoot our wedding in October 2021. We imagined a gorgeous Fall day and of course that year Fall decided to not show up and most of the trees were still green, but Erica knew what she was doing and still managed to find the best spot for us in Highland Park with beautiful Fall colors to get the pictures I desired! They both did an INCREDIBLE job making sure they got every small detail to every large moment of the day! Not only is Erica the best wedding photographer, she has become like a whole life photographer, as I like to say. From our engagement photos and bridal shower to the wedding then even being there to capture our baby shower and doing our maternity pictures, which were all stunning obviously! Erica and Melissa are truly family at this point and we can’t wait for more life moments for her to capture!” – Samantha DeMarco
“We cannot thank Erica enough for the amazing job on our son’s senior pictures. This was our first time hiring a photographer, and had many questions. Even through late night emails she answered everyone to make sure we were on the same page… She was very personable and professional at all times. She did such a phenomenal job with his session, we ended up getting more pictures than we anticipated. Erica you are a very talented young lady, and we sincerely appreciate your professionalism and dedication. You are definitely our go to photographer for all our needs. Thank you!” – Julie Rivera
“I have used Erica now for three huge parts of my life! She photographed my engagement shoot, my wedding, and most recently she did a lifestyle session after the birth of our twins. It was a great experience each time with my photos coming out amazing! She was so patient with the twins even though they hit feeding time right in the middle of the shoot. She patiently waiting until we got them fed to continue with the pictures! Today I received my photos from that session and they are amazing she was able to capture my family, including our dog, perfectly! Will definitely be using her in the future and would recommend her to everyone!” – Michelle Morse
