Cannot say enough positive things about Holladay Photography.
I hired Eric for both our daughters weddings. He was amazing. The whole experience was top notch from start to finis...
h. The photo's were amazing - all the moments were captured live in action vs. posed photo's (although we did a few of those). Eric has such a wonderful personality (along with his staff), and made my daughters' weddings extra special. They considered him part of the wedding party vs. a "vendor". When my youngest got married 4 years after my oldest daughter, there was no questions who we would hire for a photographer. Eric was in Colorodo then but still came to Michigan for the wedding. So blessed to have had him part of the weddings and to have such amazing photos that captured all the special moments of their very special days. Do not hesitate to hire Holladay Photography for your events, you will be so happy you did!!!!!!
My husband and I spent the most time looking for a photographer during our wedding planning because we didn’t want the cookie cutter, traditional photos. Erik did not disappoint!! ...

Erik was the absolute best! He was amazing at wrangling the family and wedding party to get all the shots we needed. Went above and beyond to get a couple unique shots that I wan...

Erik is the best and the coolest!

tographed our wedding on Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you!) and didn’t bat an eye at what I’m sure were some unusual requests as far as weddings go! I highly recommend Erik for your wedding photography needs.
Erik is such a wonderful and creative photographer and an all around consummate professional. His kind heart, passion and enthusiasm towards us and the importance of our wedding da...
y made working with him a pleasure. He has a intuitive eye for capturing special moments in brilliant ways. He had undying energy and stamina to spend the whole day and night with us starting at our home, hopping onto a limo bus that shuttled us to our wedding ceremony in the mountains and then, continued to be with us in Denver for our ceremony.
We are so blessed to have connected with him and consider him a friend.
We LOVED working with Erik! Not only are his photos absolutely beautiful, but he is a kind, professional, easy-to-work with person who put as at ease the entire day of the wedding....
We adore every single shot he took; his photojournalistic background is definitely apparent, but he has a spectacular artistic touch to everything, as well. We could not be happier with our wedding photos and our experience with Erik. HIGHLY recommend!
Erik and Randall photographed our June 2016 wedding and they were superb! Their professionalism and engaging personalities certainly put us at ease especially since we are not used...
to getting professional pictures taken. Erik's photojournalism background presents you with a cinematic style that is unique and authentic. He captures your day and makes sure to please his customers by asking the right questions and making it easy so you know you can rely on his expertise. I would recommend Erik and Randall to anyone looking for quality work with timeless results. We are so thankful we found him!
Erik and Randall are great photographers! They photographed our wedding and captured so many amazing moments! They are very professional but also personable and kind and fun/funny ...
as well! They are detail oriented and very creative! We love our wedding photos!
Erik drove an hour to meet with us after our initial phone consultation, then he drove two hours to scout the site for our engagement/family photos and another two hours to actual...
ly shoot the engagement and wedding. Erik was highly referred to us and before we even took any photos I knew why. Erik takes the photo that you don't even know you want...example on our wedding day we have the same old posey photos that everybody has but with Erik's style we have photos that are not "basic" like one with my four year old daughter looking back down the long corridor or my son chasing my daughter in their wedding gear and the smiles that go along with that chase...photos of belly laugh after belly laugh. He gave us a box handmade by the amish with our names engraved onto it, it sits on display on our buffet with 150 pictures inside and all kinds of small momento's of our day. It is my most prized possession. I am so thankful to Erik for making the process easy, fun and not in anyway average. Who knew there was a part of wedding planning that was worry free AND fun?!! Erik you have an amazing talent thank you so very much for everything!!!
Erik is possibly the most talent photographer in the area. His eye for detail and creativity set him apart from the rest. He and his assistant, Randall, made our wedding day run sm...
oothly and our families adored both of them. We have received so many compliments on how unique and creative our photos are. Given the option, we would hire Erik all over again!
Erik is unbelievably talented and dedicated. He shot not one, but two seperate wedding events for us (we had a seperate reception in another state!), and did a wonderful job with b...
oth. I have had nothing but compliments on our wedding pictures!! From our first interaction by email to sending the gallery out to our friends and family, I have enjoyed every interaction. He spent a lot of time scouting out the perfect spots for beautiful photos. He was calm with all of our family and guests, as well as with the nerve-wracked bridal party. He captured so many unexpected moments - those are truly the pictures that will last us a lifetime and remind us of those wonderful days. Erik's patience, professionalism, skill, and artistic eye were all deeply appreciated. His photography is highly recommended and I would certainly hire him again.
Erik is undeniably the most wonderful photographer to work with on your wedding day. He has an eye for capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, and managed to make our ...
entire day even more magical. Not to mention that he was fun, friendly and patient with us and our guests!
As a professional photographer I always wondered who I would have shoot my wedding. When I got engaged I began to worry about who would shoot my wedding. Since I was unavailable to...
shoot it, I had the task of going through my network of colleagues, peers, and friends to pick the perfect photographer. When I found out that Erik was shooting weddings I cancelled my other meetings and called him right away.
I have always been impressed with Erik's work as a photojournalist. When I saw his wedding work I was blown away by how he meshed the two worlds of documentary photography and wedding photography to create truly spectacular image.
He did not disappoint on our day on October 10th. My wife and I were married in Northern Michigan. Erik and his assistant captured the beauty of the area and used it as a background to capture incredible images and touching moments.
Erik and his assistant were considerate and professional. We were not hounded by him, or posed a million ways, he did rush us but he kept us on task. He let us enjoy the day and did not keep us from our friends and family. Erik guided us in the direction to make the best images and we followed along and had a blast participating in his process.
He was exactly what we were looking for.
Erik was so much fun to work with. I live out of state so my Mom was the one who initially picked him after meeting him at a bridal show. When I came into town for my bridal shower...
he took the time to meet with me to hear what type of pictures I wanted and gave me some great ideas of his own. He was on-time to our wedding, had a smile on his face the entire time, braved the heat with us for the outdoor pictures, made me feel comfortable in front of the camera (I hate getting my picture taken) and was very non-obtrusive through the rest of the night. My only regret is that we didn't allow for more time with him between the ceremony and reception so that we could've done more photos in the downtown area. I highly recommend Erik for weddings!!
