If you are already looking at Vail Studios, do yourself a favor and book them! OK, at the very least take the opportunity to meet with them. I can't say enough good things about working with Erik and Ali Vail. We had so much fun and they were so easy to work with. They did a fantastic job of capturing the moments, large and small, and telling the story of our wedding day. Erik and Ali both have a great eye for photos. They aren't just taking wedding pictures, they aren't just chronicling the event; they are getting beautiful, artistic photographs.

Unlike some of the weddings we have been to, they were not intrusive, and were hardly noticeable during the ceremony. They were able to work and get the shots without drawing attention to themselves. We opted to do an engagement shoot as well, which I think was very helpful. This gave us a chance to work with Ali and Erik before our wedding day and get a feel for how they work and how we photograph... and we also got some really wonderful pictures too! The pictures, we have so many beautiful pictures I haven't even been through them all yet (although my wife has, a couple times). Of the few hundred that I've looked through you can see the 'post production' care they have taken with these photos is amazing, I can only imagine the time and attention it took to go through all of them. The slideshow DVD and flash drive they presented to us to keep our photos were fantastic. Both the contents, and the presentation. The joy and professionalism Erik and Ali display during our meetings and during our photo shoots are a testament to how much they love their work and how much pride they take in doing a truly great job. I honestly can’t imagine having a better experience with a photographer.

It was great being your MUA. You are punctual, professional, and both easy on the eyes! Hahha. The photographer that photographed you all is one lucky person. Thanks for you referrals!

Erik and Ali set the tone for the day of our wedding. They were calm, so we were calm. They were having a great time and it allowed us to relax and have a good time as well. As easy as they were to work with, they also produced an amazing set of images that we will cherish. I would highly recommend Vail Studios to anyone choosing a photographer for a wedding or other occasion. There is no question that Erik and Ali are two of the premier talents in their business.

Erik and Ali were a pleasure to work with during out wedding. They were very professional and fun and took some amazing pictures!

Eric and Ali were absolutely fantastic to work with. They were incredibly easy to work with and they are very efficient when it comes to the "business" side of things. Our pictures turned out fantastic. We couldn't be more pleased. If you are looking for an incredibly talented team who is a joy to work with and will provide you anything but an "ordinary" wedding-photo experience - Vail is for you! My husband and I would highly recommend them.

We absolutely loved our photo shoot with Ali and Erik! We had so much fun and the pictures turned out great! They arrived more than on time, they bring all the necessary equipment, have great ideas and made us feel very comfortable.
At the ceremony, they blended right in with everybody, documented what was going on, made sure they took a photo at the right moment.
Beforehand we talked about what look we like and which moments, family constellations, etc we want on film.
We are very happy with they work they did and how fast we got our photos after the event.

Thank you so very much Erik and Ali for making our wedding day so beautiful. You put Chris and I both at ease and were so helpful, professional and fun. We could not have asked for better photographers on our special day. Our favorite part was that you truly did capture the art of us. Every single picture reflected who Chris and I are as a couple. Thank you so much! We tell all of our friends about you in hopes that they get to experience what we did!

Erik and Ali Vail were wonderful to work with! We thoroughly enjoyed having them photograph our wedding and felt comfortable being ourselves in front of their cameras. They worked with us to create a package that was just right for our wedding and cover al the details before your wedding day so that you have nothing to worry about when you get there. Talk about making the Bride stress free! :)

Very fun to work with and would work with again.

Amazing photographers, amazing work, amazing photos, amazing service!! just absolutely amazing overall!!! Will hire them for future events and family portraits!! You two made my whole wedding a memorable one. Thank YOU for being a part of our wedding and more future sessions to come!!

Vail is AMAZiNG! Erik and Ali are laid back but professional and have fun with their clients. When Erik wasn't happy that the weather was uncooperative at our first engagement session, he offered to do another one that turned out amazing. We really, really could not recommend a better photographer for our special day.

I've known Ali since high school, but we lost touch for a long while. When we found each other on FB, I got to see the work that her and her husband Erik did. I loved their work right away and decided that when I got married, they would be the ones to photograph it.

When that day finally came, I was so excited! We got married in Florida and Erik and Ali were excited to be apart of our destination wedding. My husband does not like getting his picture taken, but Erik made him feel comfortable and at ease. We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon together getting some great shots and enjoying the warm weather. Erik and Ali hung out with all of our friends and made the weekend that much more enjoyable.

I could not wait to see the finished results! Erik surprised me with the slideshow and I was beyond thrilled with the finished results! Still today, I will log onto their site and watch the slide show. :)

Erik and Ali also photographed my son's senior pictures (equally amazing!) and we look forward to our family pictures once the weather is nicer. I would highly recommend Vail Studio to anyone for any photography needs. The memories that you get from pictures are priceless in my book.

Thank you again Erik & Ali for all the wonderful memories!

I wasn't sure what to expect when looking for a photographer or even hiring one for our wedding. It was overwhelming at wedding shows with all the choices but when I came across the quality of work that Erik Vail produces - I knew that's exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I was engaged for almost a year and a half and Erik & I stayed in constant contact about engagement photo shoots, changes to wedding day and time, package details, etc. Erik & his wife Ali made us feel comfortable, we were able to be ourselves and in the end we have amazing pictures to remember our special day. Their level of professionalism and service is rare to find and everything to hope for.

Truly cannot put into words what Vail Studio added to our engagement and wedding experience! There are a handful of things I'd do differently if we could do it all over again (if it were up to me, we'd renew our vows and plan another party every year), but the first thing I'd do is call Erik or Ali and find out what weekends they're free! Sixteen months later I still can't think of anything I wish they'd done differently!
Simply put: they are amazing!!

Erik and Ali were the best!!! Our experience with the Vails was perfect, from the first day we met them to the day when we received the email that our pictures were ready to see. They bring a fun and unique approach to the whole wedding photography thing and we have since recommended them to numerous other couples getting married. I can promise you with absolute certainty that if you go with Erik and Ali you will be 100% happy with the process and the product.

I met Erik and Ali at my best friend's wedding the summer before I got married. They were both very cool people and easy to be around. When I saw the pictures they took of my friend's wedding, I had to have Vail Studio photograph my wedding. The pictures were beautiful!

Working with Erik and Ali during our wedding planning process was so stress free. They were the most organized vendor we worked with. Im so happy we met Erik and Ali and they were able to help us remember our wedding with stunning photographs. And honestly, they are just fun to be around!
