Eric Vest Photography

nd even all the little children that typically don't like posing for photos :) I would highly recommend Eric for your wedding!

t just once, but twice. Eric not only re-scheduled for us (on short notice) multiple times, he went above & beyond to see what he could do to help us with anything he could, even if it was completely unrelated to photography or our wedding! He prayed over us during those family emergencies & I have no doubt he was on his own time too. Once we actually got together to do our engagement photos, (which is only supposed to be a couple hours), he spent hours late into the night with us answering non-photography questions, helping us decide on centerpieces, & giving us his 2 cents & expertise for decisions we were questioning. He helped us nail down our day-of timeline, (let's be real, he basically made it for us), checked in with us before the wedding, & was a knight in shining armor (or a knight in a bowtie 😉) the day of. He stepped up to help with many things unrelated to photography, like getting our decor in the correct places after they were placed elsewhere & being a genuine, comforting, kind, human who truly helped ease any nerves or stresses anyone (not just us!) had. He is intentional & makes you feel like he deeply cares about you like his own family. He knows you'll need a minute to breathe throughout your day, so he not only schedules it in throughout the day, but he's strategic in getting you away from people to 'get some photos' when you need it. Girls - it's like having your best gf there to save you when you give her 'that look,' except he knows without you even cluing him in!!! What. A. Winner. Eric was flexible to get the pictures we wanted before the ceremony even though we were short on time. He helped me prank my husband with a 1st look (the best man was actually standing there in a dress... lol)... my husband STILL talks about how well Eric fooled him. He makes sure those 'little things' you're worried about, like your hair being in the wrong place, your lipstick being smudged, or your dress/suit having a wrinkle, are taken care of. Again girls - it's like your best gf is there for you without you even asking!! There were a few specific photo requests we had that he captured beautifully. He included our baby (a dog) in tons of photos during our engagement & wedding photos & his 2nd shooter (who was also a doll!) helped hold our dog & bring him back & forth when he wasn't in the photos. And the NIGHT PHOTOS. If you don't hire Eric for anything else (which would be a monstrous mistake, seriously), hire him for the night photos. These are not something I've seen a lot of photographers do & Eric not only does it, but does it SO well. They are some of our favorite photos. As far as after the wedding, Eric was very timely in getting our photos & when we needed a bigger file of one of them (we printed one that's 3ft x 4ft... so if that doesn't say we love it...) he got it to us promptly & was so ecstatic for us. Your galleries are kept with him forever & you don't pay extra for that... so while you should still save them to your own device, you can also relax knowing if you lose them, he'll still have them. & he sent us a Christmas card, making us feel even more like family ❣️ We'll absolutely hire Eric for all of our future photos throughout life. He's a wonder & will not disappoint.

d the second being our large originally planned wedding in 2021. Eric is so thoughtful, sweet, and funny and takes incredible pictures that truly capture all the emotion of your day. He makes you feel totally comfortable and works with you to ensure you have the wedding of your dreams. He’s like your own wedding coordinator on top of your photographer. Eric is definitely part of our family and we cannot wait to use him for all our other life events in the future!

beautiful in all of our pictures. He didn’t miss any moment day of! I wouldn’t have any hesitation booking with Eric!

unforeseen circumstances Eric was unable to photograph our wedding day, BUT he was absolutely on top of it and found us not 1 but 3 photographers for our wedding who were equally AWESOME and more than prepared by him to fully capture our day! We also utilized his photo booth for our reception and our guests had so much fun with it! We have enjoyed looking back at the photo booth strips and seeing all the fun photos of our guests. Eric's professionalism, attention to detail and friendliness are second to none and we are excited to continue to utilize his skills for our future photography needs. Eric is such a fun person and we are so thankful we found him for our wedding! 110% recommend for anyone's photography needs!

umor. He helped with making sure our time table went according to plan and helped reassure us that everything was fine on our big day! He went above and beyond.

ase and let's you just be yourselves and knows how to capture the love between a couple. On our wedding day Eric had the best energy and made everyone feel so comfortable! Our parents, wedding party and other friends and family couldn't stop raving about how amazing Eric was and we couldn't agree more! We highly recommend Eric and we can't wait to work with him again in the future!! Hire him! You won't regret it!!

meline of the day, but also with planning what pictures we wanted to have. Our wedding was absolutely perfect, in part because Eric was so on top of things and kept everything moving. Besides the fact that he was a dream to work with, our wedding pictures are better than I could have imagined. I'm not one who enjoys looking at photos of myself, but am so in love with all of our wedding pictures. Eric did such a great job of capturing the pure joy of that day and the love we have for each other.

t as excited about our wedding as we were! He really strikes the balance between being pumped for your special day and also organized and on top of things. Our wedding day went so smoothly with him taking photos--he rolled with the punches when we were running behind on our schedule, and got all the shots we didn't even know we wanted! He put so much thought into everything, like making sure he didn't take photos of my dress hanging until he knew where the groom was so the groom wouldn't see it, keeping track of our rings so we could wear them for photos before the ceremony, and generally helping everything run smoothly. Our photos turned out absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm so glad we hired Eric!

ing person, and made us feel like any particular requests we had were very welcome rather than annoying. On the day of, he was conscious of the timeline we were trying to keep and also knew how and where to flex the schedule to make sure we got the photos we'd want the most. During our couple photos, he put us at ease by his natural and fun mannerisms; we started to forget he was there taking pictures, which is really the goal when you want candid smiles! :) Our overall experience with Eric couldn't really have been improved in any way, and the photos that he delivered are phenomenal -- I've shared them with friends and family and the positive reactions have been universal. If you're looking for someone in the area, I can't recommend Eric highly enough!

ert knowledge to find great poses that worked for us. He was communicative and adapted the shoot to take our suggestions and preferences. I highly recommend Eric if you value a photographer who is professional, friendly, and will provide some of the most gorgeous photos you have ever seen!

Eric is also an absolutely incredible photographer. Eric stuck with us and adjusted to our ever-changing wedding plans as we struggled to plan a wedding during the COVID era. When our day finally came, Eric made us and every one of our family members, friends, and wedding party feel comfortable. Eric directed traffic in a gentle but efficient way, and ensured that we got photos in every location we wanted to. He even drove us in his truck about a half mile away so we could get a photo with the Minneapolis skyline during golden hour! In addition to making the staged photos fun, Eric managed to capture so many candid looks, laughs, hugs, and kisses throughout the day. After we got our photos back, we could not believe how beautifully Eric captured every special moment of our day. We shared our photos with friends and family and, to a person, they loved our photos as much as we do. We've been married two months now and honestly not a day goes by without us looking at our wedding photos. We are so grateful to know Eric, and we cannot recommend him enough!

camera. He kept us laughing, both during our engagement session (which was on a miserably hot & humid day outside) and on our actual wedding day. He also not only helped us create a detailed timeline for how the day would go, but made sure we stayed on schedule throughout the actual wedding day- which as the bride, I greatly appreciate, because it helped to keep the day stress free for me! 👍👍 Our photos turned out so beautifully- he couldn't have captured our day more perfectly. We truly couldn't be happier with everything Eric did for us... (which includes successfully getting my husband to Not make, only weird faces, while being in front of a camera)....Seriously THANK YOU ERIC! I've struggled for the last 8+ years, to get a nice, normal looking photo of Joe & I. You exceeded our expectations in every aspect and we could not be more grateful for the time, energy and passion you put into your photographs.

, but I love all of our wedding photos. On top of taking gorgeous photos, Eric is charismatic, communicative, professional, and highly organized. Eric created a timeline for our day and coordinated with our DJ and day-of coordinator, which took a lot of worry and planning off of our plate. His personality is so fun and upbeat that our parents, people in our wedding party, and multiple guests even mentioned to me how much they enjoyed him. 10/10, look no further, and hire Eric before he's booked for your date.

we had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID. Eric was also so helpful on our big day and had great suggestions, but ultimately left all decisions up to us. Most importantly he does amazing work - we got our wedding photos a few days ago and are SO happy with them. They all turned out beautifully and perfectly captured our day. We can’t recommend Eric Vest Photography enough!

ven though we weren't entirely sure what we were doing ourselves at first. While he was an excellent guide, he was also completely open to anything we wanted to do on our day and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Perhaps most importantly, he is a pleasant person who is great to have around on your wedding day. My wife and I were happy with every aspect of our wedding. Oh yeah, and the photos were highly varied and beautiful!

ing in the Twin Cities area, but due to Covid-19 we moved everything to August 22 in my hometown in Iowa...and Eric traveled there and back (about a 7-8 hour round trip) in a day! He endured our large wedding party and nearly 100-degree heat and never complained about any of it; instead, he was super understanding, very easy to work with, very respectful and professional...we were just so grateful for everything, and how he was able to accommodate us due to the changes we made regarding the location, venues, and date. The photos he captured are so great! It's just so fun to go back and look at them, and we are so grateful to Eric for doing such a good job of capturing our special day.

e managed to get photos of so many different events and angles. He captured our wedding day so perfectly.

photo quality AMAZING! We received so many compliments about you and how you were present at the wedding without being in the way! We highly recommend Eric to anyone and everyone!

red ideas to help us through the chaos. My husband and I do not consider ourselves photogenic people, but we ended up loving all of our engagement and wedding photos, and now proudly display them at home and work. Eric’s experience and expertise shine with how well he guided us to get the best pictures. All of our family and friends felt comfortable around him during our wedding, which left our photos looking more relaxed rather than staged. My husband and I would 100% recommend Eric to anyone looking to capture their special day/occasion.

great shots or photos and fun memories to relive forever. His attention to detail was awesome since he was able to capture authentic shots with the guests/wedding party along with the standard set. Feedback and communication was always timely and we got a photos quickly and the websites were easy to use. I would highly recommend and use again for family photos.

s painless, efficient, and most importantly, enjoyable! If Eric is available for your wedding date, book with confidence!

me to have wonderful pictures. The pictures are amazing, and I fall in love with them all over again each time. The entire experience was wonderful and organized. After meeting you, I knew the price was 100000 times worth it. I had absolute confidence in everything you did. Thank you for everything!

feel rushed the whole time. Eric also made sure to get a thorough list of all the shots I wanted, which he succeeded in fulfilling while also using his own artistic eye to suggest shots along the way that have since become favorites. His personality is one where you naturally feel at ease, and he did a phenomenal job with all the members of our bridal party. He also recommended a great videographer to us on the fly. Eric is a joy to work with, fairly priced, and the perfect blend of detail-oriented and creative visionary. I highly recommend!

oes above and beyond with everything, not just his photography!! He helped me with so many things during the day without even asking him to and was so patient and kind with my crazy family and friends. His photos are just so creative, he captures every moment and makes it BEAUTIFUL. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!!!

ersonalized his photos seemed to each couple. No surprise, our photos are aboslutely gorgeous and completely embody the energy & beauty of the day and the breathtaking outdoor location we chose to get married. Outside of his incredble skillset, Eric was super responsive and wonderful to work with. He is flexible and able to incorporate any ideas you might have and really helped us to develop our vision for the day. He emphasizes getting to know the couples he works with and learning their story, which is really unique. He helped me to structure the timeline of our day, as we had a somewhat nontradional ceremony. He traveled 3 hours to our venue when we had to reschedule to do a smaller ceremony up North because of COVID and I can honestly say that when he arrived, I breathed a huge sigh of relief because I knew I could hand over the flow of the day to him and just enjoy. He directed things flawlessly while capturing beautiful photos and special unplanned moments the entire way through. We had a small family ceremony and several people mentioned to me how kind and comfortable Eric's presence was. His photos speak for themselves, of course, but I believe in order to capture amazing photos, you have to vibe well with the photographer. Eric's energy and vision are the reason our day was captured so perfectly! I wish I could give him more than 5 stars because he so deserves them.

ugh all the stress with COVID and made sure we still enjoyed our special day. His photos are phenomenal and he made both of us feel so comfortable while taking photos. We had so much fun with Eric and loved how every photo turned out. He captured every special moment in the perfect way. We would highly recommend Eric to anyone!

ecause he was so good at staying in touch beforehand, my day went by perfectly! I am beyond happy with how my pictures turned out! Several family members and friends commented on how much they liked Eric and how great of a job he did as well. Would 100% recommend Eric and I look forward to booking him again for future photo sessions!

is clients. Can’t wait to work him again in the future!

timeline and researched the state park that we wanted to take pictures at ahead of time to scout some potential photo locations. Eric is thoughtful and will make sure that you feel like your wedding is special and meaningful. One of the things we loved most about working with Eric was the fact that he was a leader - when we didn't know what we wanted for our photos, he demonstrated leadership and creativity to help us capture all of the meaningful moments during our day. He captured the little details without us asking and almost became part of the family for the day! Not every photographer is willing to venture out into the pouring rain, stand on extremely precarious rocks by (actually, IN) the St. Croix River to capture a beautiful moment. He is great with kids, dogs, and made our wedding photos feel fun and effortless. Plus, his work is absolutely stunning. We cannot say enough positive things about Eric and Eric's photography. If you book him as your photographer, rest assured you will be in EXCELLENT hands.

n 2018, there was no question we wanted to use him for our engagement and wedding photos. His work and samples spoke for themselves, and we knew right away we could trust him in capturing some of the most important days of our lives. I am so awkward in front of the camera, and he really made it easy and comfortable. At first we considered not doing engagement photos, but Eric gently encouraged it, so we did. And oh my goodness, am I ever glad we made that choice. It made taking wedding pictures so much easier and more fun. I could write a novel about why Eric is so awesome, but I think I may hit a character limit. If you book Eric, just know you're booking someone professional, someone that sincerely loves what they do, and someone who will not disappoint you. I am obsessed with all of our engagement and wedding photos. Eric is incredible! 5000000 / 5 stars.

work with, as we could immediately tell that he was a great listener and really wanted to get to know us as a couple as well as our expectations for our wedding day and how he could best support our goals for the day. He was always prepared and brought both a calming demeanor and creative spark to all meetings, our engagement session, and the wedding day itself. As a couple hosting a Catholic wedding with 300+ guests, we knew we were asking a lot of Erik between operating within the church’s rules around photographing our ceremony, to asking him to corral dozens of our family members for large group shots on a tight schedule, to capturing as many fun moments as possible at our reception. He easily surpassed all of our expectations and took absolutely stunning posed and candid photos throughout our wedding day. Our bridal party and guests all adored interacting with Erik, as did we. We were truly lucky to get to know and work with Erik and would highly recommend him to anyone!

which I appreciate with a lot of people on your wedding day!) He’s also amazing at finding great locations for photos and also keeping an open ear to anything you want to capture. Can’t recommend him enough!

hiccups as we all got ready, and Eric jumped in and helped out with whatever needed to be done, in addition to taking amazing photos! He was so flexible with whatever we needed, and he definitely went way above and beyond for us! Our guests were also very impressed by him, his cheerful, friendly, and professional presence, and by his photos! I’m not sure how he managed to shoot so many different angles and shots and remain so subtle that no one noticed him (in a good way)! We would so highly recommend him to anyone looking for an incredible photographer for any occasion! The only thing that I would recommend is to not have your photos printed by a bargain online photo place (not to name names), because the photos were too high quality for their printing capabilities.

han we could have dreamed for, even with less than ideal weather on our wedding day in October. We hands down recommend Eric to anyone searching for a wedding photographer!

t how wonderful they turned out all thanks to Eric! His demeanor and personality made the day go by so smoothly, especially when he helped corral our friends and families for large group photos! Without any hesitation, we strongly recommend Eric for anyone looking for a photographer for any occasion!

ed Eric and highly recommend him!

m, but he answered all of them before we had to ask. He was so genuine during the meeting, we immediately knew he was the one. He was slightly above what we initially wanted to spend on photos, but it was 100% worth it!!! Now that the wedding is done, I would've paid even more than we did-without hesitation. He made the entire process stress free. We had an engagement session with him and that further confirmed we made the right choice. We had our dogs with during the engagement shoot and he was able to do amazing photos including them, some without them and some just of the pups :) After our session, he went above and beyond to get the photos edited and back to us quickly so I could use one for our save the dates. Our wedding day was a blast! He and his second shooter (Nikole Heikes) really were almost like additional day of coordinators. They kept us on schedule and were able to corral my entire extended family into the timeline. When I said I was planning on taking a sleigh ride over the Stone Arch bridge (in the middle of December) Eric didn't hesitate to join with and capture the moment (despite the frigid weather). The photos throughout the day/night were simply stunning! Some other brides I've spoken with had gotten tired of smiling during the 'photo taking' time of the day, but I couldn't help but smile! Eric is truly a kind and caring human being - who just happens to take amazing photos :) He felt more like a guest then 'just the photographer' After the wedding, he again edited a couple of photos for me, practically immediately, so I could use them for Christmas Cards. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone and will use him again for photos!

os are beyond amazing thanks to Eric! We booked the 12 hour package with a 2nd photographer and were so glad we did, he was worth every penny! We got so many compliments on Eric during and after the wedding and all of our family and friends were blown away from Eric’s photos he took! I would rate Eric a 10/5 if I could! We got our photos back in six weeks and we’re worth the wait (which wasn’t long at all)! I will definitely use Eric again in the future! Alex & Jess Maciej

Eric for the first time he made us feel so relaxed and at ease about our wedding details. We could tell this was not his first rodeo! Leading up to our wedding, he could not have made us happier with a last minute accommodation request. On the day of our wedding, Eric was professional, fun and exceeded all of our expectations! He knew our venue but went above and beyond with what we were thinking. The night of and next day, we saw a couple of super great sneak peeks. When we received our pictures back, we looked through our pictures in delight; it felt like we were reliving the day all over again with all of the special moments captured!

d us brainstorm engagement picture locations and was also awesome when we wanted to include our dog in the engagement pictures. And when our dog made an unplanned reappearance for our first look wedding pictures Eric rolled with it and those shots are some of our favorite pictures. We cannot say enough great things about Eric! We loved working with him, our wedding party loved working with him, and our families loved working with him! Cannot recommend him enough!

ession was such a blast, Eric has a way of putting you at ease with his joyous personality, and is so creative with shot locations. The pictures from our session came back in only a few weeks, and each one was simply amazing – it was hard to pick favorites! From planning the engagement shoot to walking through the photo timeline of the wedding day and answering our countless questions, Eric was a fantastic resource and so wonderful to work with. The day of the wedding, every single important moment was captured beautifully in the photos, and we will treasure them forever! If you are looking for an incredible photographer that will give you memories to last a lifetime, look no further and hire Eric!

pictures and engagement pictures turned out so good!

ing our wedding (and there were quite a few choices to be made!) From planning our engagment photo shoot, to taking the time to talk to me for an hour on the phone to walk through every moment of our day, to the incredibly easy-to-access photo galleries and detailed information about the download process, to the just DOWNRIGHT GORGEOUS photographs that we will treasure forever, Eric was absolutely perfect to work with in every aspect. We are over the moon satisfied with both our engagement and wedding photos-looking back at them makes us feel like Eric captured every single important moment of the day-he didn't miss one thing! Our family and friends have been so impressed with how the final photos reflected the spirit of our event and our unique selves. We had a perfect day (truly!) and we are so thankful that we chose Eric Vest to be apart of it. I would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a photographer that is not only talented, but is a joy to work with, too.

nd gesture, over the top! (Everyone loves him by the way - family, venue staff, etc). I wanted to push the limits a bit with some of our photos, as my husband is an adrenaline junkie, and Eric made it all happen! Throwing couches in the air, climbing trees, etc. We also had a special request of setting up a photo booth in our vintage Airstream trailer. Eric made it happen! The pictures, because of course that is what you care about and can actually hold on to, are BREATHTAKING! See for yourself. I would choose Eric over and over again, and recommend to anyone who wants stunning wedding photos from a fun, professional wedding photographer.

him, even though he was extremely busy. He did not hesitate to answer all of our questions whenever we bugged him. Even making the long trip out to meet us each and every time we asked. Eric is a genuinely amazing person, photographer, and all-around human being. We wish we can have our wedding again just to have Eric be our photographer again. He made our wedding fun and lively! Thank you so much Eric!!!

prompt in answering our questions and had great ideas and inspiration to each photo he took. Working with Eric, it felt like we had known each other for years. Our pictures turned out so amazing. I couldn’t imagine having picked a better photographer!!

l! Eric was a calming influence on what can be a really stressful day! He got all the perfect shots and accommodated any last minute ideas we had! He was there for every important moment of the night. He even came to the rescue and helped bussel my dress! Eric cuts no corners and is a delight to work with, I would recommend him to everyone I know. We also used his photo booth services and those were incredible too! If you want impeccable photos to share for years and an easy and fun experience, hire Eric!

hly recommend him to anyone.

etting you to joke around....Eric is your guy! Our wedding day was perfect and I know our photos will be just as amazing because of Eric. Thank you so much!

so much positive energy that we knew we would love to have on our wedding day to keep things lighthearted and fun. Eric was so thorough at our engagement session! It was a very hot summer day and he spent nearly three hours with us, getting amazing shots. He made us so comfortable and it was great to build that relationship and get to know each other before the wedding. Leading up to our wedding day, Eric was soooo helpful with determining the timeline for our day. We had a phone conversation with him a few weeks before the wedding that really helped me to envision the flow of our day. When it came to our wedding day, Eric was simply amazing. Of course he was our photographer, but he also did a great job keeping the day running smoothly and on time. He fixed my hair when it was out of place, totally embraced our January wedding, and we received NUMEROUS comments from our wedding party and guests about how awesome our photographer was. He showed us a few shots on his camera that day and I knew I was going to be blown away by the images. They turned out to go even beyond my expectations. He captured every thoughtful detail that we put into our day and we have so many amazing photos of us as a couple as well as our wedding party. He truly captured the feel of our special day and I especially loved our night shots. It was so great to take a few moments to step away from the celebration, take it all in, and we ended up getting some of our favorite shots of the day. I would absolutely recommend Eric Vest Photography. In fact, he will be shooting my cousin's wedding in June 2019 and I am so exited. He is so talented, personal, and we have truly made a friendship with Eric. He's amazing! :)

impeccable but even more importantly, he was a pleasure to work with. Eric kept me and my husband feeling comfortable throughout the engagement photo session and our wedding day. Eric also has a lot of experience putting together wedding timelines and answering detailed questions about the day, so we depended on Eric for help in those areas as well. He always has a great attitude. My husband and I not only had a great photographer for our wedding day but also made a good friend. Eric went above and beyond our expectations in every way. Thank you, Eric, for your dedication, professionalism, and positive attitude.

d bounce ideas off!) to the day of details and photos to the finished product afterwards! Eric is extremely professional, personable, and a wonderful presence to have on your wedding day! I am not exaggerating when I say, we loved every photo! If you hire Eric, you’re not only getting quality photography, but you’re getting to work with an excellent person! Win - win!

esponsive. We are in love with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out! He kept us very calm and made sure everyone had a great wedding day. Our bridal party and our other vendors and guests all commented on how great Eric is to work with. We were so lucky to find him!

ing so many other "5 star" photographers. We are soon happy we were blessed to get his skill to capture our day! His photography is beautiful and he had an amazing way of capturing some of the most special moments. He really got into the theme of our wedding as much as us too and seemed to know exactly what we wanted. The us, the wedding party and guests loved working with him and his organizational skills for a large wedding party (18 we had) were amazing. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and creative! We still get so many compliments on them when people see them! Eric is by far our favorite photographer in the Twin Cities and believe us we interviewed many! We will be forever grateful for his excellent million star photography that captured so beautifully, our happiest day!

our puppy. His artistic style is amazing and the whole experience was everything we hoped for and more! My advice to newly engaged couples is to book Eric ASAP and then use his client portal to find other amazing vendors!

you did!! Eric is kind and very talented!

beautiful our photos are. He took the time to remember names of our wedding party and made our whole wedding day wonderful. His personality and love for what he does truly makes the photography AWESOME. I would not go with anyone else for my wedding photos and his prices are affordable and totally worth it! THANK YOU SO MUCH ERIC! :)

y. It’s hard not to laugh and smile when you are working with him. He loves his work and shows that by how genuinely excited he was to capture our story. I received so many complements at our wedding on how organized and helpful he was. He is able to engage people he photographs and yet make you feel incredibly comfortable. Eric is the upmost professional and the gold standard for wedding photography. He goes above and beyond (including climbing trees) to make your photos and wedding come together perfectly. He even helped bustle my dress and fix my husbands boutonniere. His work is outstanding! I have shown photos to several people who have said his work/wedding photos are the best they have seen. I completely agree. He captured so many precious moments (I would have otherwise missed) that I get to relive because he is so good at what he does. I could not have asked for higher quality photographer because I am certain it doesn’t exist. I HIGHLY recommend booking him for your wedding, he will most certainly exceed your expectations!

w awesome he was to work with. He is patient, kind, fun, professional and just an absolute blessing. I will recommend him to every single person I know because he is the absolute best!!!!

nsive planning and working with some incredibly talented and dedicated people, I can still say without even hesitating that hiring Eric Vest was THE SINGLE BEST decision I made for my wedding!! From the first email Eric sends you, you will be able to recognize his energy and his kindness. He is not only the kindest wedding vendor I worked with; he is also one of the kindest people I have ever met. But it’s also essential to mention how exceptionally organized, professional, dedicated, and talented he is as a photographer. He always responded immediately, warmly, and thoroughly to my zillion emails, and he offered tips and advice that were super helpful. When he did our engagement shoot at Boom Island in September, the photos blew us away, and his personality was so infectious that even my (now) husband who hates getting his photo taken had a blast during the shoot. So we knew we were in great hands when our wedding day rolled around this June, and sure enough, the photos are sensational and surpassed our already exceptionally high expectations for Eric’s work. Everyone in our wedding party and immediate family adored Eric, and appreciated his warm and energetic presence. His second shooter, Nikole, was also very kind and did an excellent job. I highly recommend hiring a second photographer as it is well worth the money. But, most importantly, MAKE SURE YOU HIRE ERIC VEST! Hiring Eric is the FIRST piece of advice I would give ANY couple planning a wedding!!

res, he was always right there when I wanted a quick photo snapped with a guest. His personality is so sweet and creative. We are a military couple & appreciated so much how accommodating he was to that. Thank you for everything Eric!

tude is what made this day such a success, and he saved the day on multiple occasions. On top of keeping us on schedule on this crazy blizzard-in-April day, when our party bus got stuck, he personally helped attempt to get it unstuck with the driver and all of my groomsmen. When things went way off schedule and we ended up at a random bar, we made the best of it and took some photos. He personally drove myself and my husband to the reception (not something any of us had anticipated!), but it was amazing. He was flexible given the ever-changing schedule, and kept smiling through it all. His attitude is what kept us all going through the day, and his photos are top quality/the best I’ve ever seen. He’s one in a million!

e impressed. Our pictures we got back exceeded our expectations. The photo booth was a highlight for our guests! Eric was super responsive, understanding, and accommodating. We hope to be able to use him for future work!

irst saw his work at a friend’s wedding and was so impressed by everything—and then later by the photos. He is very professional and can get the job done—with excellence. Since then I’ve since seen his work at a few more friends’ weddings plus my own and recommend him any chance I get. I love his photography style too! And as a person, he is so friendly but still genuine, and really gets joy out of what he does, as well as makes it fun for the couples. He is so flexible too! He wants to know your vision and plans but can also help with suggestions if you need them. I could say so much more, but check out his photos and schedule a time to meet with him. Let the photos speak for themselves and meet him for yourself!

and more. Our family and friends all enjoyed working with him, and the photos turned out so well, as always. We are so lucky to have such special memories documented so beautifully!

an ability to slip through the crowd and take photos without drawing attention to himself. Having attended several other weddings over the past year, we knew this ability to be there and not be "seen" was important to us. His creativity in using decorations, lighting and scenery provided some great photos. The day was exhausting and looking back at the photos Eric took allowed us to relive the day and remember certain aspects that we had forgotten in the whirlwind of events. Wedding guests who have seen our photos have also spoken very highly of the quality and we have recommended Eric to everyone we have come across who is looking for a highly professional and skilled photographer. We would go with Eric again in a heartbeat .

ee. We enjoyed every minute and love our pictures more than words can describe!
