My passion is using the lens to tell a story - your story. From the peachy evening glow of Santa Barbara to the twinkling panoramic wonder of Bali, a wedding is one of life's enduring beauties and capturing those first smiles of delight, a subtle glance beneath your veil, the best man's humorously orated toast - is what makes my job the best.

I travel all over the world to photograph weddings or events. Meeting the energy of a new place with my camera in hand is one of the most energizing parts of my job, and I love my clients. You will regularly find me during down time, propped up with a tripod, capturing the bustling cityscape of New York; the magical blues and crisp, fresh whites of Greece; the emerald grandeur of the mountains in Aspen, or snapping shots of the cigar roller in mexico or the gentleman with the tweed vest whose grandmother opened that favorite patisserie in Paris.

We have nothing but the most wonderful things to say about Eric. He was fun and easy to work with and organized all ages ( family, friends, wedding party) beautifully for each picture. He knew we wanted a picture at our reception of UVA alums and he suddenly handed his camera to his assistant so he could be in the picture too ( he is a UVA alum).. We loved that!!!! His pictures are awesome!!!

Eric made our wedding. He began early, took charge, and was so sweet and supportive the entire day. I can honestly say the day wouldn't have been as wonderful without him, and on top of that, his work is gorgeous! Hands down THE best photographer out there! Boom him while you can!

Best photographer in Charlottesville, by far. Eric is so talented, and so fun to work with. We used him for our engagement session and wedding. He made the experience so great, and we never had any awkward moments trying to get some good candid shots. We haven't gotten our photos bad from our wedding yet, but Im sure they'll be gorgeous. We would recommend him to anyone!
