Hi, I'm Eric.
Your neighborhood friendly spid..... photographer. Like Liam Neeson, I have a particular set of skills. Though it is less of the knife fighting badassery and more pulling out awesome images from simple moments. I love the candid, the emotional and authentic. Yes I know "authentic" gets overused.
When it comes time to choreograph my couples I choose simple elegant ideas over the complex.
I have been in the wedding industry as a photographer and videographer for over 5 years and it is how I make my income to support a family of 8. Yes 6 kids. Oh and a cat, but he is much less expensive than the kids.
I understand,
this is your brand. I will strive to meet whatever needs you have and elevate you. I will be polite, well dressed, motivated, and punctual. Basically an asset. I have hired plenty of Seconds, and assistants. I know what it takes to "nail a wedding." You will have no surprises and an effortless experience.
Reliable
Have you ever worked with people who you didn't know if they were going to show up? Yeah me either. I don't have the patience for that, and hold myself to that standard. If I say ill be there, I'm there.
Educated
I understand my equipment, how to use it, and how to eek the most performance out of what I have. I know the principles of light, and how it interacts with the digital sensor.
Motivated
I am an active photographer. I shoot primes so I have an excuse to move about (and shallow DOF). I am consistently looking for better angles, better light, and new shots.
Equipment
I shoot Nikon, as it is what I knew growing up as a kid. The Z series lineup has been lightyears ahead of their the DSLR counterparts I have had in the past. I consistently shoot to protect the highlights, along with using general rules of symmetry and composition in my work. I'm a fan of dramatic portraits, wide sweeping views and shallow depth of field.
