Eric did an outstanding job on our engagement photos! He was an expert at getting the right angles and how to make people feel comfortable if they are not sure how to pose. He was so good at getting all of our photos look natural and flowing seamlessly. His work is magic! I would recommend him to anyone looking to get a photoshoot done. Cannot wait to have him shoot our wedding photos!! 😊
Eric is such a great photographer! Not only is his work amazing he is so helpful and professional! He helped us through stages of planning and was always open to questions. He took so many photos the day off and was able to get them back to us in a timely manner. He met with us multiple times to understand our vision and he was able to bring that to life! I would 100% recommend using Eric as your photographer, you won’t regret it!!
Eric’s work speaks for itself. When Eric recently sent back our photos, I almost cried because he captured everything we wanted. Our wedding was simple and not very traditional in the sense that we didn’t have groomsmen or bridesmaids, I didn’t want to do a bouquet toss, and I actually don’t even really like getting my picture taken. Everything was very simple- simple dress, simple rings, simple decor, so simple that I was nervous Eric didn’t have much to photograph.. but he took what little he had to work with and made everything look amazing!! We had several meetings with different photographers when planning for our big day, and after hanging up on zoom, I knew right away our person was going to be Eric. He took the time to meet with us several times before the wedding to get to know us better, and really took note of what was important to us in what we wanted captured. He is so so kind and gracious. He is so professional and communicative, and makes you feel really comfortable in front of the camera! I know choosing a photographer is a big decision to make, and if you just look at his work, you’ll see for yourself what I mean when I say his photos are so beautiful. One thing I took note of is that because he has been a photographer for pipeline, you know that means he can troubleshoot in any given moment and think on his feet, and at a wedding, or actually any event, anything can happen! I am so happy with how our photos turned out and can’t recommend Eric enough!
Eric was absolutely wonderful, simply put. He took many opportunities to meet with us and talk through what my wife and I had envisioned for our photographs. Eric was professional, friendly with our guests, and made sure all of our important moments were captured. At the end of the evening, Eric found time to ask us if there was anything else we'd like him to capture before he wrapped out -- it was a very small show of initiative, but it meant so much to us. I highly recommend Eric for all your photography needs!
Eric was truly amazing! A few months before our photoshoot, he got on a call with the both of us and got to know us and our story! He was very genuine and gave us a lot of comfort going into the shoot. The location he chose was beautiful and we just really had fun with it. There was no pressure and he just let us be ourselves. The communication throughout the whole process was great, from the timing of everything, to answering questions, and to when we'd get the photos, Eric was on top of it all. He was very professional in all aspects and his work is a true testament to his skills. Definitely recommend Eric for any photoshoots you plan to have in Hawaii!
Eric is an amazing photographer who is really passionate about creating beautiful photos. Even more than that, he is super friendly and personable. He was able to accommodate my fiancé and I when our rental car broke down the night before our sunset photoshoot. We were really relaxed in front of the camera, he guided us through the shoot while still allowing us to do our own thing. The photos came out beautiful and really show our love and happiness. We can’t recommend Eric enough, his work is amazing and his personality is perfect for it!
I wanted a puppy photo shoot to capture memories of his puppy phase and Eric was happy to be our photographer. I wasn't sure what to do/how to pose as I've never done a professional shoot before, but Eric was kind and patient throughout the whole process, and that completely eased my nerves. We had a great time during the shoot (me, my BF and our puppy) and Eric was able to capture the best moments, from the beautiful location to happy moments with each other. He has such a positive attitude, is able to engage with his clients so well, and knows how to capture what his clients want. The end results of the photographs speak for his talent and capability. I would definitely hire Eric anytime we need important life moments captured, and recommend him to all our friends and family :)
Eric was FANTASTIC to work with! He was so easygoing, helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos were absolutely, gorgeous! He was very responsive and helpful during the emailing process as well. During the wedding he was very attentive and all our guests enjoyed having their photo taken! He puts 110% into his work, my husband and I will cherish these photos forever!
Eric shot my husband and I's wedding in Maui this summer and
could not be happier with the service he provided! He captured every moment perfectly and was an absolute blast to work with. So many of our guests approached us and were equally impressed by his professionalism and fun spirit. Not only that, many who saw our photos mentioned it was some of the best work they have ever seen, and we couldn't agree more! If we could give Eric 100 stars, we would. We HIGHLY recommend booking him for your big day!!!
DO NOT HESITATE. BOOK ERIC NOW! He was just a joy to work with! Everyone at our wedding raves about how amazing our photographer was. He captured the most memorable and important moments of our special day. I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Our reception turned into a pool party and Eric captured every second of that moment. When we got our gallery… OMG 😱. I was completely in Awh of how amazing each photo turned out! You won’t be disappointed if you book and work with Eric!
Eric was very professional and made us feel so comfortable. Our maternity photo shoot was a fun and special experience for me and my husband and Eric was able to capture the moment so beautifully! We were so happy with how the photos turned out!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric to help us capture our love in Hawaii fashion. We didn't have a "traditional" wedding, but still wanted the memory, and Eric was the perfect fit to take such photos. From the very beginning of interacting from cold Canada, to finally meeting in Oahu, each and every step along the way was an incredible experience. He provided us with helpful information, perfect locations, and his chill vibe really made this whole thing stress free! We connected instantly and had so much fun the entire time. He even took the time to accommodate due to the crazy weather (we got drenched) which was the cherry on top; his kindness and eagerness to want to help us have the best experience and ensure we were happy/captured everything was above and beyond.
Mahalo Eric, you are incredibly talented and we're so happy to have met and worked with you! We LOVE our photos! 🖤
I found Eric on The Knot and although he does not reside on the island where I booked my venue, I reached out just in case. I’m so happy I did because working with him was a dream. He was helpful in planning every single aspect of the wedding day and was patient with me when I had no idea what I was talking about. He offered suggestions when I was confused about timeline specifics and even helped with plans for our honeymoon with his local expertise. The best part was that he made everyone in the party feel fun and comfortable and made my husband and I feel like we had been friends with him for ever. I would highly suggest hiring Eric 10/5 stars!
We did a couple honeymoon photoshoot with Eric. In Hawaii. This was the first time that my husband and I have been in front of a professional camera so we were a little concerned about knowing how to pose and looking awkward in the pictures. Eric made it so fun and easy for us: he took his time with us during the photoshoot, he scheduled interview session to get to know us and we got to know him so it made us more comfortable. We were laughing and having fun during the whole photoshoot which resulted in a lot of photos that captured the love and happiness. Eric was very prompt in his response to any questions we had leading up to the photoshoot. He truly enjoys the art of photography and he genuinely strive to provide his clients with quality photos that captures all the beautiful moments.
Eric is an amazing photographer and I would highly recommend him to any couple who is looking for someone to capture that once in a lifetime moment! Our friends recommended him to us in the first place after he did an awesome job capturing their wedding and I have zero regrets asking him to take pictures of my engagement. He helped me figure out the best spot to propose where the scenery was beautiful and not a lot of other people were. He even went out of his way to scope out the spot ahead of time to make sure everything looked as expected. He took amazing pictures of the proposal itself and even stuck around after the proposal to take additional engagement photos. Having never participated in a photoshoot before, he made me and my fiancée very comfortable the entire time. We absolutely love all of the photos we got from him. He turned a simple proposal into an entire experience that I will never forget! Thank you Eric for everything!
Eric is everything and more you could hope for in a couple's photographer! His warmth, energy, and genuine zest for helping even inexperienced subjects feel relaxed and confident results in an incredible product. Additionally, he is an excellent communicator. I recommend him to everyone and anyone seeking a quality photographer on Oahu.
We hired Eric to shoot honeymoon photos while we explored Hawaii. Had we worked with him prior there’s a good chance we would have paid for him to come to Iowa for the wedding as well.
Eric is the real deal. He really knows how to interact and engage with you as a couple. My wife and I are no models and he was able to have fun and make us feel comfortable while giving us direction. With that in mind he also didn’t stop us from being us and letting us good around.
He is a pleasure to talk to and work with and for people out of town an absolutely invaluable resource for the best spots to eat, visit, and take in the beautiful views from Hawaii. We really believe Eric went above and beyond for us, especially for us hiring him to do a small honeymoon shoot.
We haven’t gotten all our photos back from him as I write this review, but we’ve seen some previews and are absolutely ecstatic to see them all. It’s getting to be a fair amount of time past the wedding and we’re holding off on sending thank you cards to our guests until we can include some of the incredible photos we get back from Eric.
I can say I was hesitant to worry about doing a photo shoot during our honeymoon, and waking up at 4:30am the first morning in Hawaii wasn’t exactly what I had imagined but he made it very worth it. We’ve recommended him to several family members and other military members in the island to work with already. We will be in touch to do family photos when we make it back out to Hawaii later this year.
Hire him and not only will you not be disappointed in the photos, but you’ll also be thrilled with the time spent during the photo shoot laughing and having fun with your loved ones.
I wish I could give Eric more than 5 stars because I absolutely would. He is the best photographer that a couple could ask for. We scheduled just a normal couples photo shoot with him and my now fiancé proposed unexpectedly and Eric still captured all the amazing moments. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed the entire photo shoot. I couldn’t have asked for a better day and the pictures he took were beautiful and he did an amazing job capturing every moment. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Eric is awesome, very professional, and a passionate guy. He took our pre-wedding at Kualoa Regional Park in Jan. We received our photos just a couple of weeks after. We absolutely love the photos that make by Eric. The light of his pictures is so beautiful, and his skill was perfect. I highly recommend Eric for your photoshoot in Hawaii. We trusted in him, and I think you do.
We hired Eric for our wedding, and he was wonderful! Such a nice guy and very professional. He set up multiple calls beforehand to make sure that he knew all of the shots we wanted to get, and they turned out great.
We had also done a beach photo shoot with him before we were engaged, & that was a great experience as well! No matter what setting you’re in, Eric knows how to make you look your best. I highly recommend his services!
I had reached out to Eric earlier in the year to take our engagement photos since we were planning to visit Hawaii, but because of COVID, we had to change our date so many times. Eric could not have been more accommodating and understanding with us. We appreciated it so much! 2020 has been so difficult, but Eric was so patient with us every single time we gave him a new date we would arrive. Each time we talked with him, we were met with kindness, over email and in person!
Despite all the set backs, we knew we HAD to make it out to Hawaii just so Eric could take our photos. His work is just so incredible. He was so kind and professional over email, and when we finally met in person, he was seriously the best! He helped us through our awkwardness and knew exactly what he was doing. I loved all the ideas he had and he even played our favorite song to help us set the mood. Eric made the session so much fun for the both of us, we definitely smiled and laughed the whole time! He took his time with us and we didn’t feel rushed at all. He offered to stay to take more photos since we still had a lot of light left, so that was super sweet of him!!!
Our photos turned out AMAZING! I knew Eric was talented at what he does, but when we got our photos, we were so shocked and amazed. Friends and family loved our photos and kept asking who took them for us and where we took it. Everything turned out so incredible!!! We loved working with him and I seriously cannot wait to reach out to Eric for any future photo sessions we may need.
Eric is the best photographer I know and an absolutely amazing person. He makes what might feel like a big photo shoot into a romantic, fun activity with your loved one, a camera just happens to be capturing that. I normally don't like getting my photo taken, but I relish getting any photo that Eric takes.
He made my fiance and I beyond happy. We have changed every background on our computers and printed photos! THANK YOU ERIC!!!
He is an awesome photographer. We love our wedding photo by him. He was very creative and try to make us relax for photo shoot too.
He is very easy to work with and very kind. I would recommend him as a photographer to anybody if they are getting married in Oahu Hawaii.
Eric is truly one of a kind. Not only is he a gem to be around, but he is also so talented behind the camera. The photos that my fiancé and I received from our engagement shoot were beyond special. The edits were perfect, incredible quality, lighting, details, and the exact moment completely captured in every photo. Eric also took the time to explain everything in detail before our photoshoot, including how to relax and what to wear. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!!!
This review is long overdue. Eric took our Rehearsal Dinner and day of Wedding Photos (ceremony and reception). My husband and I are both camera shy but Eric made us relaxed and comfortable the whole time. On the two days, Eric was very easy going, calm, and flexible. We were even more impressed when we saw the outcome of his work. We are still impressed that we asked Eric to take our maternity photos 2 years later. Highly recommend from this happy bride/future mom!!
Eric is a talented photographer and an easy person to work with. We've done an engagement style shoot and family photos with Eric and cannot recommend him enough.
We are not comfortable in front of the lens so pictures usually come out forced but Eric's easy going style and direction brought out the most genuine poses and smiles. We look forward to working with him again.
We truly could not have been happier with Eric. His process from start to finish is thorough and his attention to detail exceptional. My wife and I both agree that Eric captured us in a way that few, and maybe none, ever have. He’s incredibly talented!
HELLO LOVELY COUPLES. I can’t recommend Eric enough. My fiancé is stationed in Hawaii so we asked him to do our engagement pictures. Let me tell you, he went above and beyond. He took the time with us to just feel comfortable and laid back. We’re the type of couple who is not used to being in front of a camera so this was the perfect vibe. He made it so fun and low pressure- and that’s exactly how the pictures turned out. Our special moments were captured so genuinely and beautifully. Eric also has fantastic communication and turn around time. Honestly there’s not one thing I would change about our experience. The product, the conversation, the price point... all 5 stars. THANK YOU Eric for the precious memories. I can only hope to work with you again someday!
Eric did an AMAZING job capturing our wedding! Eric was super professional, fun, positive, spontaneous, and willing to go along with our ridiculousness. His presence made our entire day extra fun and special. ALL of his pictures came out so beautiful. I seriously cannot stop looking at them! If you're looking for a photographer for your special day, he's it! Thank you, Eric, for giving us beautiful memories to hold on to.
Eric is awesome to work with! Here really makes you feel comfortable and gets some awesome shots! He got the finished product to us faster than I could have imagined. Couldn't be happier with how the pics turned out
I can't say enough great things about Eric and the work he does. He made our whole engagement photo-shoot process so effortless and easy. We had never had our pictures taken professionally and worried that our shoot would be like that episode of 'Friends' where Monica and Chandler had their engagement photos taken, awkward. Luckily we had Eric. He helped break us out of our shell and made out time fun. Our photos came our beautifully! I fell in love with them and how they were taken. Eric really captured us in these photos, Our love, humor and personalities. He captured that naturalness of how we are. PERFECT! I highly HIGHLY recommend Eric if anyone is looking for an AMAZING photographer to photograph your special moments. He will not disappoint.
Thank you Eric! You're the best! :)
Eric is a brilliant professional photographer, detailed editor, and wonderful to work with throughout every stage. Eric took stunning shots during our engagement shoot and our wedding. He was the only photographer for our wedding and was able to take multiple shots of every moment during our day. He is attentive and quick to capture those split second moments.
As awkward and silly as my husband and I can be in the momentary spotlight, he was able to help us feel comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera and made our shoot unique to our personalities. Our favorite pictures from him are the ones that candidly capture the interaction between us and show the joy of our love during each session. He encouraged us to be ourselves with a few helpful suggestions on how to position ourselves, which made posing super easy.
He works earnestly to understand each person/couple and comes prepared for each shot. He went so far as to research and visit the perfect location in a forest next to a river for our engagement shoot- and when we were surprised by snow there on the day of the shoot, he was flexible and incorporated the elements in the moment for beautiful results. He is ready to go the distance for the perfect session.
He is honest and fair in his pricing- and is totally worth every penny. The pictures were easily downloaded from a user friendly platform that I was also able to share with my family and friends. Whether the pictures are zoomed in on a screen, or printed large, it is apparent that the details and colors have been carefully and tastefully edited for maximum quality.
Besides joining our families by marriage, the pictures are my most precious lasting souvenir from our wedding day. I look at these images daily and am so grateful that Eric was our photographer that preserved these memories.
Eric was our photographer for our engagement shoot and our wedding in Olympic National Park, Washington. We love his work, so we were lucky he was available on our wedding date. We are big fans of his incredible surf and nature photography on Instagram, since we are outdoorsy. When it came time to schedule our engagement shoot and plan our wedding, he was easy to contact and to talk with. He communicated promptly which made coordinating logistics and travel arrangements quick and easy even though he is based out of Honolulu, Hawaii and we live in Newport Beach, California. His flexible attitude and collaborative approach made planning a breeze because he gave us recommendations based on experience, but more importantly, he made sure to hear what was important to us. On the wedding day, he was always professional, punctual, and prepared. He came ready with a well thought out plan of where and when to get the best portraits. His personable demeanor put us and all of our guests at ease. His impressive ability to blend seamlessly into the crowd allowed him to capture all of the precious candid moments while everyone looked relaxed and natural. He was skilled at always being in the right place at the right time to never miss a shot. He has a talented eye for capturing the natural beauty and atmosphere of the venue with his framing, lighting, and angles. He also clearly spent a lot of effort in post-production paying close attention to details to perfectly and expertly edit every single picture. He was able to preserve all of our favorite memories in his signature timeless style. He quickly sent us a link to a huge personalized online gallery with all of our amazing digital photos in high resolution. The pictures were easy to download, post, and share with friends and family. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos came out. Booking Eric was a great decision and well worth it. We have been recommending him to all of our friends.
