Reviews of Eric Marks Photography

Creative and quality photography for the moments that matter

We hired Eric to photograph our wedding. From the very beginning, he was very easy to work with, and offered a very fair price. Our wedding was nontraditional and very low-key and Eric was incredibly accommodating. We were even happier with how the photos turned out. During the wedding he was professional, creative and truly captured all of the special moments. We definitely plan to hire him again.

Amazing photos and experience

Eric was the most professional photographer we could have ever hoped to have. Our beautiful day was only made better with his guidance, and the wedding and engagement photos both were simply beautiful. He knew how to pose us and make us feel completely comfortable, as well as getting all the candid shots of our precious memories. Highly recommended, his prices were much lower than the other Lake Tahoe photographers we talked with too. 5 star service all the way around.

Awesome photographer!

I randomly stumbled on Eric’s work and put him on my “talk to them list.” I’m so glad I found him! I talked to probably 10 photographers (also great!) but just knew Eric was the right fit. I wanted lots of candid photos and Eric delivered. He was so professional and many of my guests and other vendors remarked about how great he was to work with. I’m so happy with how my photos turned out! Eric was also amazingly flexible when we had to postpone due to the pandemic, out of all my vendors he was the easiest to work with. I always recommend to do your homework, look at a perspective photographers work and talk to them with a list of questions and a list of the types of photos you want.

The sunset pictures!

I worked with Eric Marks for my wedding in 2020. Getting married in the middle of a pandemic difficult but working with Eric was effortless.
When we met for an engagement shoot I was really nervous because both my husband I are typically really awkward in front of the camera. Eric made us feel comfortable right away and was just a genuinely easy person to vibe with. Eric got some amazing photos of us that came across really natural and captured us being ourselves, it was a huge relief! We sent them out with our invitations and our guests loved them!
On Wedding Day Eric was there early to get photos of us getting ready and captured all the details incredibly. He was very professional and made sure to get all the shots on our list. He captured all our guests having fun and those our some of our favorite picture to look back on. He kept and eye on time and managed to get the most incredible sunset shots of the two of us that we will treasure forever. It was easy the whole way through. We loved working with Eric and we love our pictures! I highly recommend booking him for your wedding! He is absolutely worth it.

Eric Marks has an incredible eye for the perfect shot. He is a consummate professional. His shots were beautiful and fun! Every detail is covered. He is invisible when he should be and coaxes the best pose when he needs it. His photos of the bride are stunning and his photos of her daughter as the flower girl are so sweet.
