About

I’m Elliott Anderson, a wedding and editorial photographer based on Vieques, Puerto Rico. I’ve shot weddings across the United States and the Caribbean, but my work is rooted here in Puerto Rico and the islands that surround it.

My approach is journalistic. I follow the day as it unfolds, staying out of the way and letting moments happen. There are only a handful of times I’ll step in to direct, and even then, briefly. A wedding day should feel like your own, not a photoshoot you happen to be getting married at.

Aesthetically, I take most of my cues from the films I love, particularly Kodak Portra and Fuji Professional stock. The result is light and airy but with more color and warmth than that phrase usually implies. I shoot both film and digital depending on the light and the moment, and I use natural light whenever the situation allows. When it doesn’t, I know artificial light well enough to make it feel like it does.

Your first contact will be my wife Jillian, who will walk you through a straightforward booking process. She’s also a wedding planner here on Vieques, and we work together regularly, which means your photography and coordination are never working against each other.

I’ve been a working photographer since 2006, starting in a studio in Portland and moving through journalism, editorial and lifestyle work before settling into weddings as my primary focus. Along the way I’ve collaborated with some of the top wedding photographers in the industry and worked closely with executives at Nike, Microsoft and others. E.P. Anderson Photography has been based on Vieques since 2013. As of 2025 I am the only photographer in Puerto Rico in Style Me Pretty's 'Little Black Book'. I've also been featured in numerous publications from Martha Stewart Weddings to Architectural Digest.

Across nearly 1,000 weddings I have never lost a single image. I take that seriously. So is showing up composed when things go sideways, because they sometimes do, and making sure that working with me never adds to the stress of your day.

We offer coverage from a shorter, three hour elopement session all the way through full multi-photographer and videographer production days. All images are delivered in full resolution, through a secure platform. There are no additional travel fees anywhere within the Puerto Rican archipelago, including Culebra, when you choose a six hour package or more. Travel to the Virgin Islands involves a minimal fee, and anywhere beyond that is billed at actual cost.

The best team!

Elliott & team were absolutely incredible to work with. They were super quick & efficient throughout the entire day and captured so many unique photos and moments. They made the day so easy for us and shared their ideas for photo and video moments that turned out amazing and accommodated our specific requests as well. The images really convey how much fun we had throughout the entire day. We are beyond thrilled with our photos and will enjoy them for years to come!

Best Photographer we could've asked for

Elliott and Jillian were a dream - extremely high quality work product, great ongoing communication, very fair price point and overall an expert team. We can't thank them enough for being such a key part of our wedding day. Jillian is extremely helpful, responsive and detail-oriented, and Elliott is unbelievably talented. Look no further for a photographer in PR or anywhere else they travel!

Absolutely the best photographer in the Caribbean

Elliott rolled with us being behind schedule with complete ease and accommodation on the day of the wedding and had AMAZING ideas on how to uniquely capture moments. I absolutely LOVE his work and can’t wait to see everything else from my sister’s wedding!! He is a brilliant and gifted photographer and the easiest and more professional to work with!

Great wedding photo experience

Elliott was a perfect choice as our wedding photographer. Not only is he the husband of our wedding planner which makes things convenient but he is a fantastic photographer. He does terrific work. You just have to look at his photos and you can see he has a great eye. He is so easy going and patient which makes for a great experience. I highly recommend him!

Elliott and Jillian are a dream to work with – kind, professional and super talented! Jillian was great at communicating all the details and managing things on the front-end. Elliott did our engagement photos in Old San Juan and then wedding photos at Hacienda Siesta Alegre and was wonderful to work with both times. Easy to talk to, professional and overall an awesome photographer. My husband and I are both a little uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Elliott helped us relax, giving just the right amount of direction to make us both feel at ease. During the wedding, he accommodated all our requests and multiple guests commented on how great he was! He made everyone feel comfortable and still was able to capture all the details of the day beautifully! Highly recommended!! Thank you Jillian and Elliott for everything you did!!

Photography is one of the areas that I was really willing to splurge on. I have always had a deep interest in photography and I was always the one in my friend group that insisted on pictures when we'd go out and that everyone uploaded them so I could relive our fun times through photos. As soon as I saw the work that E.P. Anderson does I knew they were going to be a great fit for us! We got an engagement session included in our package and it was a great way to get to know each other and feel out the vibe. Working with Elliott on our engagement session was so laid back and fun and he immediately put us at ease. He was also our photographer for our wedding ( they also provided our videography services) and he didn't let one detail go undocumented. Well into the reception when we would group together with friends and family to take pictures off our phones, Elliott would pop up out of nowhere with his camera and snap a professional pic, which was great! We haven't gotten any previews back yet but when we do I'll make sure to post some pictures with my review!

Elliot is an amazing artist we got everything we wanted from our wedding photography and more! If you want beautiful, candid wedding pictures in Puerto Rico, Elliot is the way to go!!!! Great service and responsiveness throughout the whole process. Jillian and elliot are extremely helpful and professional.Our wedding was in Ponce and he did not bill us for travel expenses which is definitely a plus. We had a lot of fun shooting Our engagement session in vieques and the pre-Irma/Maria portraits we got there are something we will cherish forever! Would definitely choose them again for a trash the dress session or any other kind of event. Keep up the good work guys!!!

With a little under 3 months to plan a destination wedding, we found E.P. Anderson Photography and incredibly lucky we did, and that they were available for our bride & groom's wedding. They were not only incredibly professional, but showed enthusiasm and went way above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the couple had an amazing time, and absolutely amazing pictures! Working with them was our pleasure, and made my job easier as a wedding planner knowing we had selected the right, and best, photographers we could find within PR and Vieques! If you want a team that truly cares about the weddings that they shoot and providing the best customer service and quality, please don't hesitate to reach out to these amazing destination wedding photographers. We can't wait to work with E.P. Anderson again, both in PR/Vieques and elsewhere around the world! Thank you again for the heart and passion you put into this wedding - it definitely shows and is appreciated more than you know!!
