MODERN & INTENTIONAL

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR COUPLES WHO WANT TO REMAIN FULLY PRESENT

For the art of being there.

We help modern, intentional couples in Atlanta, across the East Coast, and worldwide remain fully present on their wedding day through a thoughtfully guided photography experience—preserving their honest moments in timeless, elegant imagery.

ABOUT US

Your special day will be documented by me, Ericka Hartzell, the founder and photographer behind SALŪME STILLS. Based in North Atlanta, we have been preserving weddings across the East Coast and around the world since 2019. Over the years, we’ve refined the art of observation—learning to notice the quiet exchanges, the details you chose with care, and the moments you may miss while you’re living them.

You want photographs that make you feel beautiful and a wedding day that feels like your own. You want to hold your people close, take it all in, and trust that the moments that matter are being seen.

When you invite us in, we prepare with care, offer direction when it helps, and step back when the moment is yours. We make room for artful portraits and the moments no one could have planned, so you can stay present and return to photographs that feel entirely like you.

Our signature style blends documentary honesty with editorial elegance, guided by a calm, intentional approach and contrast-rich, true-to-life color editing to create timeless, elegant imagery.

  • Ericka took both our engagement and wedding photos, and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. She was incredibly professional, organized, and attentive to every detail. But most importantly, Ericka is truly kind and passionate about capturing genuine moments and emotions. She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and she celebrated with us. I will always cherish our wedding photos deeply. I would highly recommend her if you’re looking for someone who not only captures the perfect photos, but also helps you stay present and truly enjoys every moment on your special day.

    Eriberto & Alejandra

  • Absolutely loved having Ericka there on our special day. Her visions are absolutely amazing, and she was so incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She helped us remember that day just like it was: a fairytale. We would highly recommend her for anyone wanting to capture these special moments in life.

    Aidan & Vanessa

  • Ericka is a very talented professional. She did our wedding photos and absolutely blessed us with her talent and professionalism. She was very responsive throughout the whole process; we talked a couple of times prior to the wedding day to plan and coordinate and ensure that we prepared for the photos we wanted. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and coordinated with the other vendors really well. A lot of times when planning a wedding, you have no idea how vendors are going to interact with each other and work alongside each other, but she did really well with our videographer and coordinator. We were really impressed with our photos and the gallery given to us afterwards. I would recommend Ericka to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! 10/10 service!

  • If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with, you have to go with SalÅ«me Stills. Ericka arrived on my special day like a ray of sunshine. Her warmth immediately calmed my nerves—I don't usually feel comfortable in front of the camera, but she guided my husband and me through every pose. The photos turned out outstanding and truly one of a kind. Ericka’s composition and eye for special moments are unmatched!

    Josiah & Kayla

  • Ericka was absolute perfection! Her communication and admin process were seamless from start to finish. On our wedding day, she showed up early to scout locations, ran strictly on schedule, and checked off every photo on our shot list without missing a beat. She delivered hundreds of photos as promised, and the final shots came out freaking amazing. 10/10 recommend!
