When we started the wedding planning process, finding the right photographer was one of the biggest priorities for me, as your photographer is such a huge part of the day. Choosing Eric as our wedding photographer was easily one of the best decisions we made! He made the whole process, from engagement pictures to wedding planning, and of course the actual wedding day, seamless, easy, and fun! He was a great resource to have when building our wedding day timeline, helping ensure we could enjoy our day without feeling rushed and still get all of the photos we dreamed of! He made the pictures fun and easy, even for my husband who was not looking forward to so many photos! He’s organized and efficient when it comes to the timeline, but he keeps the energy lighthearted, relaxed, and genuinely fun the whole time. Our family and friends were so impressed by how smoothly he helped our day go and the number of incredible pictures we received! Like I said, my husband is not a fan of being in front of the camera. However, the best compliment came from him when he told me, “Eric exceeded my expectations, which I didn’t expect as someone who is very picky and doesn’t like pictures.” Eric has a gift for capturing authentic moments and stunning photos. We ended up with the most beautiful wedding gallery that helps tell the story of our day perfectly. Seriously, we cannot recommend Eric enough!!
The way I see it, there are many categories in which to rate a wedding photographer. One is technical skill. I just got my photos back from Eric, and they’re absolutely divine. He knows exactly what he’s doing behind the lens, and with his editing/touch-ups and whatnot. Another category might be “event management.” He’s just so organized and knows just when to do this, that, and the other thing. Customer service? Yep, nailed this, too. From being so cordial and quick to respond over email, he made my wife and me feel like we were in good hands at every touchpoint.
And Eric’s amazingness goes even beyond earning an A+ in every conceivable category in which one could “grade” a photographer. It’s the little things, like for example how he’d straighten my tie if it ended up askew. A short side story to further illustrate this point: at one point in the evening, I realized the top layers of our cake (the one you cut ceremoniously) had been sitting in a box in the back of the venue. Nobody bothered to tell us it was there, so it didn’t get unboxed and put on display until we were about to cut it. Well, I didn’t have anything to unbox the cake, which was taped shut tightly (the caterers said they couldn’t do it for liability reasons), and I was being pulled in a million directions. Out of nowhere, Eric came up to me and told me he’d take care of it. It wasn’t his responsibility whatsoever to open my cake box and put my cake on display — but he just did it. And it was such a weight off my shoulders in that moment of chaos when all I wanted to do was spend time with my family and friends. (And not track down a knife to open this box, a place to put the discarded box, etc., etc.)
Having Eric as our photographer was the best decision ever. If I were to put this long review into a single sentence, I’d just say: “He blew our expectations away with his photos, personality, and customer service — which is certainly a dying art.”
Thanks for everything, Eric!
P.S. His website in which you can view, share and download your pics is super cool and easy to use.
We had the absolute BEST experience with Eric as our wedding photographer. We had been in two other weddings that he had previously photographed - in both weddings he was kind, organized, and made everyone being photographed (including us!) so comfortable. And, the quality of his pictures speaks for itself - so professional, yet also warm and inviting.
It was an absolute no brainer for us to use him for our own wedding! He was one of the best parts of our day, and we’re so thrilled with all the photos we have. Eric knew exactly how to make our personalities and the essence of our day come to life through our pictures. We would recommend Eric through and through!!!
Eric was just a wonderful photographer, and he was perfect for our wedding. Neither my husband nor I are particularly photogenic, at least when intentionally posing, we're more of the awkward variety, what the hell are you supposed to do with your hands, but Eric was able to get many amazing pictures for us. It was really great that he got to know us as a couple before the wedding, he kind of got a good feel for our personalities and what type of pictures we were looking for, it made the day of the wedding go very smoothly. He was great at giving guidance during the photos, telling me where to put my damn hands, and he really just made the whole experience much more fun that I expected it to be. I am not overly fond of posing for pictures so that was a very nice surprise. Should we get married again, yeah, no plans for that, we would definitely get Eric as the photographer again, totally worth it.
Besides my wife, choosing Eric, was the best choice I made for my wedding. For real. He is massive - yet invisible. He is no where to be seen but gets all the pictures of everyone everywhere. The compliments the night of the wedding went in this order: you guys are great together & the photographer is amazing. He even bustled my wife's dress for her when we couldn't figure it out. The photos he took are irreplaceable and his help was irreplaceable.
Eric was great to work with and made us feel comfortable. Our pictures were gorgeous.
In short, I would absolutely recommend Eric for your wedding day photographer! I was extremely nervous and anxious about hiring a photographer for our wedding day. I do not like to have my photo taken and was afraid I wouldn’t know how to pose and the photos would end up feeling fake or staged or just awful looking. We met with Eric over Zoom after getting his name from a co-worker who had a great experience with him and even over video his personality and confidence made me feel so comfortable. After we hired him he was great at communicating and even made us our wedding day schedule so we could know what to expect in advance to help ease my anxiety. He also helped us tailor the experience and gave great advice and recommendations. I did not want any prep photos done, I thought they were kind of waste, who wants a picture of our shoes and a dress hanging up? Eric advised that he could show up a little later and just do a few of these, and I am so grateful. One of my favorite photos is of our rings on our invitation. On our day Eric was amazing. I never felt awkward or uncomfortable, he gave direction in a very laid back fun way and I can say I honestly enjoyed having my photos done. We even had family members comment on how easy to work with he was and how nice and efficient he was being. We got our photos just about a week after our wedding, and they were amazing. My husband and I both enjoyed the experience so much we are using Eric again to take our family photos with our new baby!
Look no further, book Eric! Such a lovely person who made our day spectacular and the photos alone are incredible!
Eric was our photographer for both our engagement session last fall and our July 2025 wedding, and he exceeded every expectation that we had. Choosing Eric was the easiest decision we made during the planning process—an absolute no-brainer. We were so excited when he was available for our date!
Eric had photographed several weddings for our friends and family, and after seeing their amazing photos and hearing rave reviews about their experiences, we knew we had to book him. From the moment we reached out to him, Eric's warmth and positivity were infectious. He's one of those rare people who instantly puts you at ease—kind, easygoing, and yet so incredibly organized and professional that he made our entire wedding day run smoothly and right on schedule.
We didn't stress about the timeline for even a second because Eric had everything under control. He's also incredibly communicative and responsive—from the initial booking all the way through to delivering our final photo gallery. We always felt informed, supported, and confident in his hands.
We're beyond grateful for the beautiful memories Eric captured. His photos are everything we hoped for and more, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. If you're lucky enough to have the chance to book him, do it—you'll be so glad you did!
We could not be more grateful for Eric! We were running 15-20 minutes late almost the whole day, but he never made us feel rushed or stressed and gladly continued to capture all the moments we requested, even after his time was up. The shots were so amazing and we got our entire album within 3 weeks of the wedding! Absolutely an amazing person and photographer!
Eric did an outstanding job with our wedding and engagement photos! Not only were the photos great, but he also helped make things flow smoothly on our wedding day. Eric made the day stress-free as a result of his expertise and professionalism. Many guests complimented how great of a photographer we had. We would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer!
Eric was our photographer for our June 2025 wedding and did our engagement photos. He is seriously the best. I felt comfortable in front of the camera when I’m normally not, he does a great job of directing poses. He was a lifesaver the day of our wedding - went above and beyond. helped with my dress, brought a toy to make sure the flower girl smiled during photos, was so organized and on top of everything. And he got our 800+ pictures back to us edited and looking flawless 9 days after our wedding. Not many people can say that! Hire Eric for the absolute best professional photography experience. Also add on the I Do Photo Booth, our guests loved it and we got so many fun high quality photos from this too
We had the BEST experience with Eric! He did such a wonderful job making us feel at ease and captured the joy we felt that day. All of our guests commented on how great he was as well. We could not be happier and would absolutely recommend anyone looking to reach out to Eric.
Eric was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and more! From our first meeting with him, we could tell that he was not only professional, but extremely well organized, has a sharp attention to detail, and a genuinely kind and fun guy. We did opt for the engagement photo sessions and would highly recommend that - it gave us an opportunity to hang out and get to know each other a bit more, and the photos were beautiful! Leading up to the wedding, Eric checked in with us and provided so many helpful recommendations, including our DJ! Day of, Eric was so organized and created a detailed timeline to make sure we all knew where to be and when for photos, which also helped us build our schedule for the rest of the day. We had planned for outdoor photos, but had a bit of a cold and windy day - Eric was able to improvise in the moment and find the best spots for us to get some amazing shots. And the photos speak for themselves - they are STUNNING. We also added on the Photo Booth for the evening and Eric worked directly with the venue to coordinate set up, which was a big help for us. The photos from that are such a fun keepsake. We can’t recommend Eric enough for your wedding!!
Eric was simply phenomenal! He was fantastic to work with. Truly a God given talent. His calm demeanor was everything we needed for the big day! We fell in love with our engagement photos and wedding photos!
Thank you Eric for being the best photographer!!
HIRE HIM NOW!!! Don't waste anymore time looking! Eric was an absolute God send for our wedding! Eric works with couples to create an incredibly detailed day-of timeline. This schedule acts as the back bone of the entire day, and my wedding ran sooo smoothly because of Eric!! This man is unmatched in his professionalism, his attention to detail, creativity, and he is one of the MOST THOUGHTFUL humans I've ever met!! He has been photographing weddings for a long time and the guy comes PREPARED! He anticipates potential issues and mitigates any he spots. On top of being very experienced and super hands on, he is SO MUCH FUN!!! I honestly think Eric enjoyed our wedding just as much as we did! His passion for photography is incredible and it shows! Photography is costly, but hiring Eric is worth every penny! Hopefully you've booked him before making it to the end of this review because his schedule fills fast, as it should, because he and his work are AMAZING!!!!
Eric was amazing! He made our engagement photo shoot so fun and low-key. He captured my now husband and me perfectly and made it so I wasn’t self-conscious about the way I looked. Eric offered to help us with our day of timeline and even though I was worried the day would be rushed it went so smoothly and Eric built in buffers in case of setbacks! As for our wedding day, he was awesome. He kept the day moving and worked really well with our videographer! I love that we were able to rent his “I Do Photo-booth” which made for one less vendor! Eric had a tablet with a sneak peak slideshow that we got to look at photos while in line for the buffet which made me excited for the full album! Eric told us our whole gallery would be done in 8-10 weeks got our gallery earlier than that! I'm pretty sure he doesn’t sleep because he has so many fall weddings/ shoots this year and was able to deliver a very quality product in such a short time. The photos are seriously so beautiful!
I look forward to using him in the future for family photos!
We were so happy with Eric as our photographer! He is incredible to work with - I cannot imagine anyone being more responsive and communicative, helpful and organized. He made taking pictures fun and comfortable, which is pretty impressive considering we're two introverts who are usually very awkward in front of a camera! The wedding was so much less stressful because we knew Eric was on top of things. And of course, the photos are beautiful! He did such a wonderful job of capturing the love, joy, and magic of the day. We are so grateful to have the photos to look back on and to relive this special time in our lives. Thank you, Eric!
Eric is the best! He is organized, timely, and incredible eye for timeless pictures. He kept our day moving, had special time plugged in to the schedule for just my husband and I, and we had the best time. We got so many compliments from guests of how great he was and that he got great pictures that were not on our shot list! He does it all himself and gets everything! Eric will be our family photographer for life!
We had such a great experience with Eric. We waited until we were about 6 months out from our wedding to book a photographer (in hindsight, probably not the best idea), and I am completely shocked that we were able to get Eric for our wedding. We were so lucky; his work is wonderful. He was also so pleasant to work with (so enthusiastic!), incredibly knowledgeable, and thorough. He helped guide us through our wedding day, and made everything so stress-free. And, of course, we loved our photos! I hope everyone can be so fortunate to have him as their photographer.
Had an absolutely amazing experience with Erik, handled all the photos and gathering the people needed, really took a load off of us on our special day!!
We can't say enough good things about Eric. Not only is he so good at what he does, he is so great to work with! Every person in our wedding party could not stop talking about how friendly and awesome Eric is. He adapted to all the changes throughout the day and even helped tie all the groomsmen's ties! His talent really shows through his photos and we can't wait to display all our pictures and share them with our family.
My husband and I absolutely loved having Eric as our wedding photographer. He is super down to earth and is really easy to work with. He had no problem answering any questions we had and was very responsive to emails. It did not take long to get our engagement or wedding photos back. On the day of our wedding, he made everything stress free. You can tell he has had many years of experience doing this and knows what he is doing! We highly recommend Eric!!
Eric did such an amazing job on our wedding!!! From the planning and preparation to the "Big Day" capturing all the moments and making everything flow smoothly. We have received so many compliments on our wedding pictures and every time I feel so lucky to have had Eric Vest do our wedding photography.
This review is long overdue, and for that we apologize Eric!
Working with Eric is a truly magical experience, not just because of his photography, but more importantly because of the AMAZING person that Eric is both professionally and personally! Eric invests a ton of time in getting to know you as people before he works to capture your special memories.
When we saw Eric's website and the quality of his work while shopping for photographers, there was no question that his work in photographing special events was nothing short of exceptional. As you know, finding that special someone who knows how to photograph those special moments is more than just looking at their work. We met Eric for the first time through a Zoom call, and through his extremely positive and joyful personality, we got to know Eric even better, and there was no question in our minds that he was the guy for us.
Eric's personality, friendliness, professionalism, work, communication and most importantly the way in which he works with you is off the charts. Five stars is no where near what he deserves. Both of us have been in the service area are entire careers (and we're in our 50's) and we have never experienced someone like Eric. Eric's communication from start to finish is spot on, as he never leaves you guessing about the prep work, the planning, the day of activities, what happens after, or when you will receive your photos. He is a true partner throughout the entire process.
On our special day, Eric was fabulous. His smile alone is infectious, and you can help but to enjoy your time with him. He makes you so comfortable, and supports and encourage you to be yourselves. As you get lost in the moment with the one you love, Eric quietly blends into the surroundings, captures your special moments, and basks in the celebration with you by memorializing the moment through his camera. Eric laughs with you, cries with you, and truly becomes your friend in the time he spends with you.
Eric's personality is that of someone you cannot help but love. All of our friend, family and guests commented on how wonderful he was to have at our wedding, and have truly enjoyed the pictures he captured of them at the event. The hundreds to thousands of photographs he takes will help you to see those many moments that you weren't even aware were happening, and you will get to enjoy the utter happiness that Eric captures for you.
There are not enough words to explain how happy we are with the photographs Eric took of our wedding, but more importantly than the photographs, Eric captured our hearts and our souls through the person that he is and how he approaches his work. We will forever be grateful to Eric, we will always consider him a friend, and we would highly recommend Eric for your special event without question, without reservation, and without any hesitation! He is by far THE BEST!!
We love you Eric!
❤️Rachel & Joel Milteer
Eric was able to provide everything we wanted in a photographer and more! He made sure every moment of our day was captured, from taking the time to get the perfect pictures with our precious puppy, to pranking our groomsmen. We especially loved all of the sneak peak pictures that were previewed during our cocktail hour with guests. He was very fun, professional, and made everyone feel comfortable during every phase of the day. If you're looking for someone to make your wedding day special, Eric is the one!
We love Eric. Eric is outgoing, took the time to know us and made us feel confident about the big day. Our venue referred him and spoke very highly of him. He captured special moments we have now forever. Family members commented how professional and clear the photos look. Eric offers to take night photos and these were very different and beautiful. Eric communicated with the other vendors and the day went smooth because of him. Thank you times a million Eric!!
There aren’t enough stars! We hired Eric Vest for our engagement and wedding photos. Eric is one of the kindest and most thoughtful photographers I’ve ever gotten to work with. He remembers EVERYTHING! We didn’t hire a day of coordinator and Eric was stellar at keeping and maintaining timelines (no small task with my family). He is professional and comes with plenty of recommendations but only if asked for them - Photography related or not. His work is beautiful and timely, but I’ll let that speak for itself. Don’t hesitate to hire this wonderful human! You won’t regret it!
I may have procrastinated in writing wedding vendor reviews, but don’t delay in having Eric be your wedding photographer! He was one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning process! He was so friendly, upbeat, easy going, and positive! We had such a fun time with him as our photographer! We loved our engagement and wedding photos so much! It will be so hard to pick out which ones to print. He was very organized and professional. He also was so helpful with any questions we had during the process and with timelines thanks to his vast experience. He also went above and beyond on our wedding day, even helped with bustling my dress & picking leaves out of my dress & veil with my MOH. My husband liked how Eric helped him feel comfortable in front of the camera too. Eric is the best!
Eric has such great attention to detail and we absolutely love working with him and having him shoot in our venues!! His professionalism, great personality and exceptional quality of work make it so easy for our staff to work alongside him in creating the most incredible events for our clients. We highly recommend his services!
We cannot speak highly enough about Eric. This review is almost difficult to write because words cannot convey how amazing he was in making our engagement photos all the way through to our wedding day a beautiful and stress free experience. Eric was easy to communicate with and was efficient and professional in our interactions. He was also so kind and personable and we felt like we had known him for years after just meeting him- which helped ease the nervousness of getting our pictures taken! He offers a fairly priced package for engagement and wedding and, and becoming an EVP (Eric Vest Photography) couple allows us to continue to work with someone we now know and trust as our family grows, which is so important to us! We are were blown away by our engagement photos, and the sneak peak we have seen so far of our wedding day shows Eric's skill in producing timeless and classic photography invested with emotion. We absolutely recommend Eric and are excited to keep working with him!
Eric was so amazing to work with! He is organized and professional. He kept our day moving smoothly in a really natural way. He was also creative with getting unique, beautiful shots during our engagement photos and wedding day. He went above and beyond and I can’t recommend him enough!
Eric was one of the best investments we made for our wedding! From our initial intake call, to our engagement photos, communication back and forth for planning purposes, our zoom meeting a few weeks before to finalize timeline AND then our wedding day, Eric was phenomenal. He is calm, knows his stuff and made our day so special and fun. I can't wait to get all of our photos back but the sneak peaks that we got, I can't stop looking at!
I knew I wanted to invest in a good photographer because these pictures will last a lifetime and I'm so glad we found Eric. His values aligned with ours and I can't recommend him enough! If you're looking for great quality, book Eric!
I can't wait to use Eric to (hopefully) capture our other big life moments!
I feel like we won the jackpot working with Eric Vest as our photographer! Communication was top notch throughout the entire process, and he was so willing to answer any questions I had. We received so many compliments from our families and bridal party on the day of the wedding how he made it fun, was so organized, professional, and honestly just made a stressful day, seem so easy for us. He goes the extra mile, and is so thoughtful and considerate in helping couples achieve what they are looking for out of their wedding day. We even had a few of our vendors tell me they had worked on weddings with him, and were happy to be working with him again.
On top of that, his photos are stunning! It was the exact true-to-color, bright, and clean style we were hoping for. We couldn’t have been happier with him, and you won’t regret working with him on your wedding day!
We can't say enough good things about Eric. Not only is he so good at what he does, he is so great to work with! Every person in our wedding party could not stop talking about how friendly and awesome Eric is. He adapted to all the changes throughout the day and even helped tie all the groomsmen's ties! His talent really shows through his photos and we can't wait to display all our pictures and share them with our family.
Eric was the best decision that we made for our wedding hands down! My husband and I still can’t stop talking about how wonderful he is! From meeting him for our engagement shoot and every step prior he is so helpful about planning every detail. He also does such a great job at keeping you on schedule on the big day. He is so easy going and really makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He works so hard and loves his job and it truly shows! He is wonderful about communication, he pays close attention to detail, & his wonderful personality are unmatched. He even brought and iPad along and displayed pictures that he took earlier in the day on it. Our wedding party, guests, and family made so many comments about how amazing he was. My husband and I never want another photographer again besides Eric. Eric, thank you so much for capturing every detail of our big day, you truly exceeded our expectations and we can not be more thankful for you. I truly cannot recommend Eric enough. You rock, Eric!!
Eric is the best photographer we could have ever imagined for our wedding! He is so personable and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. He is hard working, organized, and extremely professional. He basically acts as a day-of coordinator and is fun to hang out with on your wedding day (you are with your photographer a lot!). We were behind schedule at one point during the day, and he assured me we would make up the time and get all the shots we wanted and put me at ease. During the reception, he even brought at Ipad and displayed pictures that he took earlier in the day- the guests raved about it! Our wedding party, parents, and guests made several comments to us how amazing our photographer was. We got a sneak peek very quickly, and we cannot wait to see the rest! Thank you SO much Eric, you exceeded our expectations!
Eric Vest is truly exceptional! We're incredibly grateful to have chosen him as our wedding photographer. His attention to detail, warm personality, and ability to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera are unparalleled. He even captured all of our guests having a great time! We are so impressed at his work and ogle over pictures on the daily. He made us look SO good!
Thanks to Eric, we can relive the best day of our lives forever. For that we are extremely grateful. It was the best money we ever spent. We can't recommend him enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Eric was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding!! From meeting him to our engagement shoot and every step prior to the wedding, he was incredibly helpful in planning every detail for our wedding and was such an expert! My husband and I are both a little camera-shy but he made us incredibly comfortable in every photo and caught the most AMAZING moments of our wedding. Even when things started to fall off schedule on wedding day, he was amazing at adjusting and keeping us together!! We got our engagement photos and wedding photos so much faster than we anticipated and he made it super easy for us to access them and share them with our friends/family. All around, he brought the most amazing energy to our wedding day and we are so so so grateful he was our photographer.
A little added note, if you haven't met Eric yet - he's VERY tall which allowed him to the most AMAZING angles at our wedding. :)
He also offers a photo booth that was an absolute hit at our wedding and our guests loved leaving with their physical prints (most other places we found just offered digital prints).
Eric Vest Photography is the only option you should be considering for your wedding! Eric goes far beyond this photography services. He helped us stay on schedule during our big day and ensured we truly had the best day ever! Eric's close attention to detail helped during photos and for the groomsmen getting ready (e.g. teaching them how to properly fold the pocket square or pinning the boutonnieres). Eric will go the extra mile for you before, during, and after your wedding. Our photos were immaculate and stunning. With all the stressors surrounding your wedding, do yourself a favor and let Eric Vest Photography make your day a truly stress-free experience.
I cannot recommend Eric Vest enough! He is an amazingly talented photographer and an all around wonderful human. From the very beginning Eric showed up with enthusiasm and somehow made us feel like we were his only clients. He is organized and thoughtful. From our engagement photo session to our big day, Eric was always on time, willing to run with our unique ideas, and shocked us with his quick turn around time for delivering photos. He knew all of our wedding party's names, offered to help with tasks that were not specific to a photographer, and was respectful of our priorities for the day. His attention to details in photos is impeccable. Run, don't walk, to work with him!
If I could give 10+ stars I would. We absolutely loved having Eric as our photographer. He is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He is so organized, patient, great at communicating and his work is just amazing! Eric was super helpful on creating a wedding timeline with us and just made our wedding day run so smooth. He is willing to help out in any way he can. It would have not been the same without him. All of the comments from everyone below really sums it up. I HIGHLY recommend booking Eric as your photographer! :)
5 stars aren't enough. Everything about working with Eric from start to finish was nothing short of excellence. His communication, both with us and the other vendors, was superb. He was incredibly helpful, even with things that were not related to his job in any way. He was an absolute delight to work with and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed, and it shows in the photographs. He kept us on schedule in the kindest way possible, and did a great job of calming me down when I got overwhelmed about the number of things we had left to do and the amount of time we had to do them in. He made sure we got everything we had asked for and every photo I had expressed was important to me, even when I thought there was no way we could fit it all in. He was timely every step of the way, from responding to the first email I sent him to delivering the final photos to us, which were everything I had hoped for. He exceeded my expectations in every way. It's worth noting my late father was a photographer, so my expectations were sky high from the start. Not an easy bar, and still he surpassed it. I am so grateful that Eric was available to photograph our wedding. It was one of the most special days of my life, and he helped to make it perfect.
We recommend Eric without hesitation. He is very easy to work with, and his photography skills and style are top notch. He is an equally good person. He even went above and beyond being a photographer (e.g., helping us out with random things on the wedding day). He is extremely professional, and his organization makes is very easy to communicate and work with him. Simply put, we loved having Eric as our wedding photographer, and we are very confident anyone who chooses Eric will feel the same way.
If you're still looking for a photographer, look no further. Eric is hands down the best of the best! We could not have been happier with our choice in choosing Eric Vest Photography for our engagement session back in October of 2022 and wedding day on April 1st, 2023. I met Eric through my sister's wedding as she also booked his services. When we got engaged, and as soon as we booked our venue, we went straight to Eric to make sure he was our photographer! Eric has excellent communication and a great personality for this line of work. He's personable and an absolute professional which all help to make you feel relaxed and natural in front of a camera. His expertise and calm demeanor also helped with moving the wedding day schedule along and staying on time - he even came prepared with a crochet hook which helped with the ridiculous amount of buttons on the back of my dress! Eric is an artist in his craft and I can't recommend him enough. Thanks to Eric, we have such incredible photos to be able to remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives.
We cannot say enough good things about Eric! In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you will hire for your wedding because the memories that they capture will last for a lifetime. I knew I wanted someone who was detail oriented, flexible and had a creative and clean style. Eric surpassed all my expectations and I would recommend him a hundred times over!! We have already had multiple friends ask us for his information for their future photography needs. He took both our engagement and wedding photos, and every picture was perfect!! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, so our pictures turned out natural and relaxed. Eric listened and accommodated all my ideas, made sure to work through my crazy long list of the family photos and made all our family and bridal party feel comfortable because he is so easy to work with. Eric is caring, calming, super prepared, thorough, very talented and an absolute pro. It took so much stress away from our wedding having Eric as our photographer because we had full trust in him and was always available for questions. He captured every moment perfectly and captured many that we did not even see! I love looking through all our photographs to relive our day and will cherish them for years to come! HIRE ERIC VEST!!! You will not be disappointed! He is the best wedding photographer you will find!!
If you’re looking for a one stop photographer, this is your guy!! Eric took care of sooo much more than just photography! I hired Eric to do my engagement and wedding as a package because I loved the style of his photographs. They are so vibrant and crisp! We started out with the engagement session and I envisioned a beautiful spring moment. I scheduled the season and as the time rolled closer, Minnesota had other ideas and the weather was still soggy and gross. I contacted Eric and with a smile he gladly told me we could reschedule! So we did and waited for spring to roll around. Well spring came and we woke up to go to our location and the rain came POURING down. Eric met us and said “No problem! We will wait it out!” Eric waited AN HOUR in his truck just waiting for the weather to cooperate and never batted an eye. Once it cleared up he took us out and did his thing. He even brought a pretty umbrella just in case. And when it sprinkled a little he used the umbrella to create more adorable shots. Then our wedding came around! Eric set up a zoom call to align the timeline perfectly so nothing was missed. We got down arrival times of everyone, places people needed to be and he made sure he knew every little detail! Once wedding day came up Eric was there, bright and early with his empowering smile. When I tell you this man comes prepared I mean it! Any little thing me or one of my girls said “this would be useful if we had…” Eric produced out of his Mary Poppins bag! Down to me saying a fan would be nice because I was getting hot in my dress - he had a handheld one! My sisters said a crochet needle would be nice to do my dress up - HE HAD ONE!! All that in top of the photographs being strikingly beautiful was the perfect combination and I’d hire Eric a million times over. Eric also worked hand in hand with my day of coordinator to make sure everything went so smoothly for my day and he never made me feel rushed even when we were clearly behind schedule, which was very calming. Eric was a true friend on the day and he was always smiling and seemed just so excited to be part of our wedding. He’s also tall so he can get those high up shots so easily! We got hundreds and hundreds of photos from him and in a very quick manner. Our sneak peaks were always out to us within a day or two 💜 He really was a key part of our wedding and has made our memories last FOREVER. We loved having him.
Eric’s amazing photos certainly speak for themselves. He’s incredibly talented and really delivers the most incredible shots that perfectly capture each moment. The amazing quality and dedication is unmatched. What really makes the difference in working with Eric is how he makes you feel.
This truly can’t be understated when working with a photographer. It’s so important to have someone be able to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. I truly can’t say enough about my experience working with Eric. He shot 2 weddings I was in and looking at the results, I knew he was my first and only option for my wedding day. I had the most amazing experience and my wedding party and family also loved working with him. If all that isn’t enough, when my husband and I last minute decided to add a videographer to our wedding day, Eric was prepped with recommendations.
We were so thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out, and the results from our videographer Eric recommended. Long story short; book Eric. You will NOT be disappointed!
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Eric Vest Photography! From the planning stages of our wedding to the day of, he was right there with us, helping us work through all the photography details. He is very personable and really gets to know you as a couple; we felt as though we were his only client. He is very professional and great at what he does!! We were so happy to find Eric Vest Photography for our wedding! He is the best of the best!
We loved every second working with Eric! He is so positive, personable, reliable, talented and an absolute joy to work with! We are so glad we went with Eric and we strongly suggest that if you are looking for a photographer you chose him!!
