Eric D Photography

Where do I even begin?! It took us a few weeks and a couple virtual meet and greets to decide on our photographer, Eric...and WOW, it was absolutely the best decision we could've made. There was something about him that my now husband and I just loved! He was so easy to talk to, made us feel comfortable, and most importantly he does the style of photography that we were looking for (natural, candid photos...he just blends in perfectly!). We were both a little nervous about engagement pictures (I'm not the best at posed pictures or anything), but Eric made it so easy and surprisingly fun! He was awesome enough to agree to do this session the day before Thanksgiving when my fiancé and his two daughters were flying into DCA...yep! we got INCREDIBLE pictures at the airport, (to include our little reunion since we were long distance for a while) as well as a couple other locations in the NOVA area. He was also so kind enough to include the girls and some family pictures that are just to die for. He gave up a significant part of his day (and the day before a holiday!) to capture some really special moments for us! Then COVID hit...we weren't sure what to expect, but after talking with Eric, he agreed to still photograph our wedding! We changed location and he was even offering to charge less considering the possible decrease in shooting time! We of course declined, as we were just ecstatic that he was still willing to be at our wedding. And thank goodness he did...he was so so wonderful! Not only did he fit in with all of our family, he stepped in to tie the groom and ring bearer's bowties, helped move chairs from ceremony to reception, and even stayed longer than originally planned! Our families fell in love with him just as we did! And THE PICTURES!!! Too gorgeous! We no longer consider him just a vendor...he's our friend! And we're so lucky <3

Where do I begin?? If there was a way to give more than 5 stars, I would. Eric was amazing, to say the least. He did our engagement and wedding photos. To say he exceeded our expectations is an understatement in itself. I knew Eric was talented from looking at his work prior to working with him, but he blew us away. His work is a form of art and just unbelievable. I had so many people gushing over how much they loved our pictures. Aside from that, Eric is a pleasure to work with. His communication was easy and quick. He always got back to me right away and answered all my questions. He was very understanding of everything we wanted. We brought our dog to our engagement pictures and Eric was so patient working with us. For our wedding, Eric brought a second shooter, Alex who was also wonderful. They fit right in with our wild bunch. The selfie station Eric provided was a huge hit as well. I could go on and on and on about how great Eric is, but I think everyone should see for themselves. You won't regret it!

Such a great experience. I met Eric at an expo on the University of Maryland campus. I loved the photos he had on display, they had an artistic element to them. I talked to my fiance and we decided to go with him for our engagement and wedding pictures. We enjoyed the engagement pictures, but we LOVED the wedding photo's (mostly because my makeup was professionally done). He was friendly, patient and we didn't even know he was snapping pictures.

Eric is amazing!!! Eric made us feel super comfortable in front of camera (even though neither my wife or I really likes having our photos taken!). Working with him felt like we were just hanging out with a friend we'd known for years. And we were SO happy with how the pictures turned out. They were really beautiful. Eric really went above and beyond. When we couldn't figure out how to tie a bowtie? Eric stepped in and saved the day. I really cannot recommend Eric enough.

We hired Eric as the photographer for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! First, he is incredibly approachable and personable. He was so easy to get in touch with and follows through with everything he says he will do. Second, his photos are amazing and we are so grateful for the lifetime of memories we have because of his beautiful photography. Third, for how hard he works, he is so affordable. I highly recommend Eric to anyone who needs a professional photographer!

I learned of Eric when someone referred him to me. He was super responsive and fun in his email communications that I was certain I made the right choice. We didn't do a traditional wedding but rather a small backyard event and I was grateful that Eric was available and agreed to take our pics before, during and after our little ceremony. We absolutely love his work!!! I recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for a very talented photographer who is able to just mingle in the crowd like he is part of it. Everyone loved him at our event! THANK YOU ERIC!

There are not words to explain how AMAZING Eric is! Not only does he have an amazing eye for photography but he also understands weddings and helped us put together our timeline to ensure we got all the photos we wanted and also had a great time instead of feeling like we were missing out on parts of the day to take photos. Eric is easy to talk to, comfortable to be around, and extremely responsive which was very appreciated and even though we did not know anything about photography he knew what to ask to understand what we wanted -- and he nailed it! I would give Eric more than 5 stars if I could and will definitely be calling upon him again for photos for future life events!

We had Eric do our wedding and engagement photographs and this is what I think: Personality: 10/10 - So you definitely want to get along with your photographer. Eric is extremely personable and easy to get along with. He can start a conversation with anyone. We even took him out to dinner after our engagement pictures and had a lovely time. He had a lot of fantastic suggestions and wanted to help in anyway he could. He even gave me a list of suggested vendors that he thought were great at some of the other weddings he shot at. He was polite and got along with my guests. Professionalism: 11/10- Eric responds to all texts and e-mails within hours, or if he is shooting a wedding within 24hrs. He is on time and does his research before going to a location. He will send you a couple of photos before he finishes editing if you ask and he sticks to all deadlines he sets for himself. Which are VERY reasonable. He dresses like one of your guests at the wedding and will ask what the formality is. He looked extremely dapper for our wedding. His pricing is also very reasonable. He brings multiple cameras and memory cards so there isn’t any issues. He is someone who thinks of every “just in case” scenario and is very prepared. Talent: 12/10- I seriously think this guy is going to be famous. His talent is unbelievable. Eric has a photojournalism quality to his photographs. He knows just when to take a picture so it captures the emotion and personality of you and your guests. ALSO his compositions are FANTASTIC, talk about TIMING! He looks for natural frames, interesting textures, and colors that I think set him apart from any other photographer. Besides his natural talent, his technique is also on point. He knows, lighting, depth of field, and the ins and outs of a camera so it is second nature to him. He also knows editing techniques that enhance the quality of the photographs without making them look retouched or dull. Your photographs will not be boring or posed, but they will capture the atmosphere and mood of your day which is amazing. What made us choose him is when we looked at his portfolio you really got a sense of the mood of each wedding he shot. The colors, quirks and compositions reflect the boldness, sweetness, power, happiness or excitement that each wedding brought. I felt like he achieved the same for our wedding. If want professional, colorful, emotional, interesting frames and compositions, and personality to your photographs; if you don’t want the boring poses everyone smile photographs that your cousin who just bought a new camera can take, you WANT/NEED this photographer. Honestly can’t say enough good things about him :) His blog and portfolio says it all!

We met with Eric for coffee in DC to see if he would be the perfect fit as our photographer. Speaking and working with Eric was so easy and seamless! Our engagement photos were amazing; we felt so comfortable and loved that he was able to capture the small moments of our everyday life. The edits came out beautifully, and all of our friends and family couldn't stop talking about them. The wedding was a whole new journey. There were so many moments we weren't able to witness ourself the day of; and Eric was able to capture most of those for us. My wife and I wanted to have a private moment alone for the first look. Eric coordinated with our wedding planner and party to get us on the roof without seeing each other. Now, we are able to relive the moment over and over again from every angle! We can't wait to submit our wedding photos to The Knot and we are super confident in the beautiful images provided to us by Eric! He was the best vendor we had, and if we had to do it again , we would choose him without hesitation.

My fiance and I were a bit unsure when we started looking for a photographer. Neither of us particularly enjoy being in front of the camera so we were looking for something a little more natural. Eric was a perfect fit from the start for us. He helped us feel relaxed and comfortable with all of our photos. We never felt like we were posing unnaturally or in a forced manner. The engagement shoot we did with him was a fun morning and made us both very confident that he would do great for the actual wedding. The day of the wedding him and his wife seemed to get shots of everything and everyone there and they captured some fantastic moments, from the early morning preparations to last call. The shot list we prepared with him before the wedding made sure we didn't spend too much time on staged photos and could enjoy just being with our guests. Getting the finalized product just a few weeks after the wedding was a great way to relive the memories all over again. Eric and Alisa helped make sure we'll always be able to enjoy a really memorable day, they're a terrific choice.

5 Stars isn't enough!! In less than a week Eric had the photos ready from our daughter's wedding. We connected the laptop to the TV, told Google Home to play 'wedding music' and started the slide show. For over an hour we laughed, we cried, we went awwwh and over and over again we commented on the amazing photos and moments captured. From the girls getting ready in the Bridal Suite to the First Look, through the Wedding and the party, they caught so many wonderful moments and angles and beautiful colors. We'll be able to re-live those moments over and over again thanks to Eric. Call them - You're going to be happy you did!

Eric was amazing! We wanted someone that was passionate about photography but was also matched our personalities. We definitely got that with Modern Frames Photography. It was Eric's first time shooting at our venue but he got there early to look around, was open to any pictures we wanted (we took an awesome one on a rock wall), and wasn't in your face but got the shots we wanted. Eric had said it would be 4-6 weeks to get our pictures but delivered much sooner (and we were so excited to share with family and friends sooner than we thought). Our family and friends all loved Eric and he seemed to genuinely enjoy himself as well, it didn't seem like just another job to him. When we got our pictures we were amazed at how just one person could be everywhere! Looking at pictures of our ceremony seems like there were three of Eric. He got so many different shots but never once seemed like a distraction as he was moving around. Eric was perfect for us and we couldn't be happier with the end products.

We cannot say enough great things about this guy! Eric was a fantastic photographer, and really added something special to our day We first met with Eric for a meetup at a coffee shop in Maryland to discuss his company, pricing, and what we were looking for in a photographer. After a few cups of coffee, and an hour or so later, we knew was hired. Not only was his photography style what we were looking for, but he’s genuinely a cool guy to hang out with. When we first started planning I was a little skeptical about doing engagement photos, but I would HIGHLY recommend getting them done with Eric. We went to a rooftop in DC for the shoot, and it was so much fun! We wanted to go to a bar and take some more photos. The vibe and lighting unfortunately were not quite right, but we ended up hanging out for a drink and talking about life. We were so pumped for our big day, and after seeing the shots from the engagement shoot, we were even more stoked. Having the engagement session really let us see his style and what we could look forward to. On the big day it was great to work with Eric. He has a special way of being so much fun, but also unobtrusive to the group. He captures organic photos which really tells a story for your day. He was on the dance floor with us taking photos, and documented so many fun moments. When you’re in the whirlwind of a wedding, you miss so many moments, and I am so thankful that he was there to catch them. If you want beautiful photographs that really show the life and love of your special day, Eric with Modern Frames Photography is your guy! We look forward to working with him in the future on capturing many more important occasions throughout our lives.

Eric and Alisa are SO amazing! We are so thankful we went with Modern Frames Photography for our engagement shoot at Rocky Mountain National Park, which was absolutely gorgeous. Even though my fiancé and I were nervous and felt a little silly at first, Eric and his lovely wife Alisa put us right at ease. They are professional, easy-going, and clearly know their trade. I honestly had no idea what to do or what we wanted (other than to have beautiful photos of course) and they came armed with tons of great ideas and suggestions. We got our photos back recently and were blown away by how amazing the shots turned out. I can't WAIT to plaster these all over social media! Not to mention our Save the Dates and Christmas cards :) Modern Frames is wonderful...like everyone else in these reviews, we cannot say enough good things!

Eric is phenomenal! He has a great personality and is very professional. His work is awesome and he really captures the moment. I loved all of my photos from my special day. I will highly recommend Eric to all of my friends and family.

I wish I could give Eric more stars because he was absolutely amazing. I originally met Eric at a bridal show where I won a free engagement session. We wanted our engagement pictures taken at Susquehanna State Park in Havre de Grace which Eric drove up to without any hesitation. My husband and I got married at Ladew Gardens which is also in Harford County and again, Eric drove all the way up here. He took wonderful photos and I genuinely felt like he was part of our friend group. We were able to joke with him and had lots of laughs during one of the most nerve wracking moments of my life. I will highly recommend him to anyone without even thinking.

I cannot say enough nice things about Eric & Alisa. They photographed our engagement pics in Dublin, Ireland and they instantly put us at ease being friendly, positive and passionate. They managed to be professional and enthusiastic about taking our photos with a bit of a hands-off approach which is a fantastic combination and one which never felt imposing or intimidating. The photos all came out very natural and not staged which is exactly what we wanted, and they were always easy to reach and returned with the pictures very quickly. Can't recommend higher :)

I cannot say enough good things about Modern Frames Photography. I worked with Eric for my wedding, and he blew me away with his kindness, skill, and enthusiasm. His pictures were amazing (he sent us SO MANY great shots, and very quickly, I might add), and he is also skilled at making everyone feel comfortable with a photographer around even during personal moments (which I would assume is not easy!) He was prompt with his emails and genuinely loves being a wedding photographer. His enthusiasm is contagious. I always felt good and not stressed when dealing with Eric, which as many of you know, is not always the case when conversing with wedding vendors. Would recommend hiring him, hands down, and will personally use his services again next time we need a professional photographer for an event. I love all the pictures we got back! Thanks for everything!

My fiance and I chose Modern Frames Photography for our Wedding based on a friend's recommendation and their amazing portfolio! Our Wedding is not until November, but we recently received the photos from our Engagement session. Eric was so fun and enthusiastic the entire time in sweltering heat! He made us feel so comfortable and really got us even more excited! Also, he was super speedy and responsive with communicating and getting the photos back to us. The photos are A M A Z I N G - I am truly blown away! I am extra confident Eric will exceed our expectations again with the actual Wedding photos!

My Fiance and I met Eric and Alisa in Kauai while vacationing this summer. Funny enough, as we all sat around the jacuzzi getting to know one another we announced our new engagement to them and they announced they were wedding photographers! As time went on, they asked if we would enjoy some Engagement Photos while in Hawaii. Of course we said YES and the rest is history. Eric scoped out a beach that had many different elements to add to the pictures...bluffs overlooking the beautiful ocean, sand, rocks, wood pieces, and even a heart made of stones from a previous wedding on the beach! The pictures turned out AMAZING and if it's in the budget we will be flying them to California to document our very special day next Summer. Thank you Eric and Alisa! You are the best!!! Lisa and Mark

Photography was a top priority for my fiancé and me. I was a little nervous about choosing an "up-and-coming" photography team, but we loved the images we saw on the Modern Frames website (and the price was too good to pass up). Let me tell you, hiring them was one of the best decisions we made, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! Communication/Responsiveness: Eric wrote back to our initial email *ten minutes* after we sent it (!), confirming he and Alisa were free on our date and suggesting we schedule a Skype meeting. They were super responsive to all of our questions and concerns. They got our engagement photos back to us in less than 2 weeks, and our wedding photos in 3 weeks. Personality: Eric and Alisa are really nice people and a ton of fun to be around! They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and they were down for all of my crazy requests (like a giant group shot with every guest at the wedding). The Photos: SO GOOD. We wanted pictures that would capture the feel of the day, rather than looking like a magazine shoot, and that's exactly what we got. My aunt and uncle dancing, grinning ear to ear. My friend's two-year-old stealing the show in his tiny bow tie and suspenders. Us attempting to cut the cake and getting the knife stuck. All of the people we love in one place, smiling, dancing, talking, and having a great time - they captured it perfectly. (We also did formal portraits and family group shots, which turned out great as well.) I'm so glad we chose Eric and Alisa - the process of working with them was great, and the results were phenomenal. I highly recommend them.

Eric and Alisa were amazing!!!! My fiance Krshna used them to capture his proposal to me on the rooftop of the Kennedy Center. It was a gorgeous day and the sun was just setting. They captured every raw and candid shot you could ever imagine wanting for your special day. Looking back at these photos, I can feel the emotions my fiance and I felt and the happiness of our friends and family who were there to celebrate with us. Eric and Alisa told us exactly what to do and made the process easy, not to mention they were genuinely so thrilled for us! They were patient and personal and stayed extra time just to get all the shots. And they even got us our photos within the week! I have booked them for all of our wedding events which will have over 500 people!!. They are truly awesome and you'll love the photos!!

Eric and Alisa found us via our post on Craigslist looking for a photographer for our wedding. Of all the replies we received, the work that these two accomplish stood out as the most romantic and personal of all of them. They were extremely easy to work with, and very understanding of what it was we wanted. They did our engagement shoot and the images they captured still amaze us to this day. By far though, the work they did on our wedding captured the emotion, the feeling, and the love of our special day. More than anything in the world, I could never find enough words to praise the work Eric and Alisa did for us. I strongly recommend Modern Frames for any photography work you need done. These two are an artistic pairing that you would be doing yourself a favor to have.

We loved working with Eric and Alisa! We conducted several photographer interviews, but most were so expensive, and with a limited budget, it was hard to find someone with passion, a good eye, and flexibility. We found all those with Modern Frames Photography. Our initial meeting was laid back but comprehensive. The engagement session was fantastic, and Eric & Alisa made us feel like the only clients they had. And our wedding day was wonderful. I can't wait to see the photos!
