E. P. Anderson Photography

My name is Elliott Anderson and I am a wedding and editorial photographer based in Vieques, Puerto Rico. I've covered weddings all over the United States and Caribbean, but focus primarily on Puerto Rico and its neighboring islands. I'd call my technique journalistic; shooting in a candid way to cover your wedding as it happens. There are only a few times in a wedding day where I'll step in and direct. Photography should feel natural, fluid and low-stress--not a chore to be endured.

My style is mainly derived from the look of the photographic films I love: Kodak Portra and Fuji Professional film--with an extra pinch of creative editing thrown in. We can call it light and airy, but a bit more colorful as well. I consider myself a "hybrid" photographer, shooting digital when there is difficult or changing light and shooting film when the time and lighting allow--which is not every wedding, unfortunately :(. I love natural light and use it when possible to tell a story. I am also deeply familiar with artificial light, and will use it , as necessary, to help tell your story or achieve a task.

Your initial point of contact is my wife, Jillian Anderson, and she will guide you through the (very) simple booking process. She's also a wedding planner here on Vieques, and we love working together to help bring gorgeous weddings to relatively challenging destination.

Experience

I've been a working photographer since I landed my first studio job in 2006 in Portland, OR; though, my earliest experiences with photography go back to childhood. Most of my career has been in the wedding field, with a bit of journalism, editorial and lifestyle photography sprinkled throughout. In addition to working with some of the top wedding photographers in the field, I've worked closely with executives from Nike, Microsoft and more to hone my professional skills. We started E. P. Anderson Photography in 2013, around a year after moving to Vieques. It was clear there was a demand for a higher-level wedding photographer on the island, and the rest is history.

I believe in meeting the challenges that often arise during a wedding with a cool head, providing excellent service and delivering a product that often brings tears to our clients eyes. To me, that means:

-Total reliablity. I have NEVER lost a clients images in my 700+ weddings photographed.

-Empathy for the needs of our clients. Weddings are stressful; if I am a source of stress, I am doing my job incorrectly.

-Documenting your story. Covering all the events as they happen as comprehensively as possible.

-Delivering a product that is both easy to digest, but beautifully and artistically captured. Something timeless, to be enjoyed for decades to come and remind you how it felt to be there.
