    Amazing Wedding Photographer!

    If you're still looking for a photographer, look no further. Eric is hands down the best of the best! We could not have been happier with our choice in choosing Eric Vest Photography for our engagement session back in October of 2022 and wedding day on April 1st, 2023. I met Eric through my sister's wedding as she also booked his services. When we got engaged, and as soon as we booked our venue, we went straight to Eric to make sure he was our photographer! Eric has excellent communication and a great personality for this line of work. He's personable and an absolute professional which all help to make you feel relaxed and natural in front of a camera. His expertise and calm demeanor also helped with moving the wedding day schedule along and staying on time - he even came prepared with a crochet hook which helped with the ridiculous amount of buttons on the back of my dress! Eric is an artist in his craft and I can't recommend him enough. Thanks to Eric, we have such incredible photos to be able to remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives.

    Aw! Thank you Amanda & Bennett!!! When I think about your wedding day, I just smile! I couldn't be more grateful that you allowed me to be there and capture your special moments! You two are so kind and I'm so glad to be friends!

    A true professional!

    My wife and I had such a fun time working with Eric. He was extremely professional from start to finish. Whether it was promptly answering emails or hopping on a phone call; he made sure all of our stresses and concerns were taking care of. When it came to the wedding day itself, Eric is great and taking charge and making sure everyone is in the right spot and ready to go! His attention to detail was far beyond what my wife and I expected. Whether it was how we lined up for the photo, or my tie wasn't straight; he made sure everything was perfect! Lastly, the pictures turned out amazing. He really captured every moment.

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Tanner! Thank you so much for your kind words! You rock! I truly had a blast with you and Liza and your entire family! Thank you for including me and making me feel like I was part of the fam! Looking forward to keeping in touch with you guys!

    Eric is the best!!

    I would recommend Eric over and over again. He was so easy to work with and incredibly responsive during the process. I was stressing about having a list of photos to make sure I got everyone and I definitely did not need to. Eric got so many incredible pictures and made the day so stress free and relaxed - which is especially important given how much time you spend with the photographer. My family also loved working with him and that was the first thing they noted the next day was how much they enjoyed Eric and what a great job he did. And he did an amazing job. I am blown away by our pictures. We had a perfect wedding and we have e most amazing pictures as memories. Eric captured the most amazing candid moments of the day as well. It was truly incredible to look back at all the photos. Use Eric for your wedding day, you will definitely not regret it and you will have no stress or worries knowing you are getting the most amazing moments on camera and working with a truly incredible person on one of the biggest days of your life. Thank you Eric for everything!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Liza! I had an absolutely incredible time with you, Tanner, and your entire family! Thank you so much for inviting me into your special day and for allowing me the honor of capturing your special moments! So glad to have you and Tanner as friends now and so happy you have photos to transport you back to your perfect day! Thanks for being amazing!

    Incredible Wedding Photographer

    Eric truly made our wedding day special. From keeping us on schedule, finding unique and special locations to take our pictures, and keeping us laughing and upbeat, he was a lifesaver. He had some wonderful ideas for unique pictures, was flexible and instrumental in helping us create a timeline that worked for us. On our wedding day, he frequently checked in with me to make sure I wasn't feeling stressed, entertained my 2 year old niece, and even pulled out a fan when I mentioned I was a little warm. He is truly the BEST!! My family loved working with him as well. I strongly encourage anyone considering Eric to use him- he was one of our favorite people to work with!! Just all around an awesome person and our pictures are PHENOMENAL. Eric is AMAZING!! Absolutely would give him 100 stars if I could.

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Mary Beth!!! You and Hunter are just so sweet! I had so much fun with you guys and was truly honored to be there for all your special moments! So happy to have you both as dear friends now! Thank you for these super kind words!

    Absolutely amazing

    If you’re looking for a one stop photographer, this is your guy!! Eric took care of sooo much more than just photography! I hired Eric to do my engagement and wedding as a package because I loved the style of his photographs. They are so vibrant and crisp! We started out with the engagement session and I envisioned a beautiful spring moment. I scheduled the season and as the time rolled closer, Minnesota had other ideas and the weather was still soggy and gross. I contacted Eric and with a smile he gladly told me we could reschedule! So we did and waited for spring to roll around. Well spring came and we woke up to go to our location and the rain came POURING down. Eric met us and said “No problem! We will wait it out!” Eric waited AN HOUR in his truck just waiting for the weather to cooperate and never batted an eye. Once it cleared up he took us out and did his thing. He even brought a pretty umbrella just in case. And when it sprinkled a little he used the umbrella to create more adorable shots. Then our wedding came around! Eric set up a zoom call to align the timeline perfectly so nothing was missed. We got down arrival times of everyone, places people needed to be and he made sure he knew every little detail! Once wedding day came up Eric was there, bright and early with his empowering smile. When I tell you this man comes prepared I mean it! Any little thing me or one of my girls said “this would be useful if we had…” Eric produced out of his Mary Poppins bag! Down to me saying a fan would be nice because I was getting hot in my dress - he had a handheld one! My sisters said a crochet needle would be nice to do my dress up - HE HAD ONE!! All that in top of the photographs being strikingly beautiful was the perfect combination and I’d hire Eric a million times over. Eric also worked hand in hand with my day of coordinator to make sure everything went so smoothly for my day and he never made me feel rushed even when we were clearly behind schedule, which was very calming. Eric was a true friend on the day and he was always smiling and seemed just so excited to be part of our wedding. He’s also tall so he can get those high up shots so easily! We got hundreds and hundreds of photos from him and in a very quick manner. Our sneak peaks were always out to us within a day or two 💜 He really was a key part of our wedding and has made our memories last FOREVER. We loved having him.

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Wow wow wow!!! Tammi! I don't think you could have written more kind words than this! Thank you both for being a dream to work with! I had so much fun with you guys throughout the whole process and I'm so glad to have you both as my friends now! Thank you for including me in your most special moments and thank you for trusting me with your photos! I smile when thinking back on your day and I'm so glad you picked me to be a part of it!

    The BEST experience EVER!!

    Eric’s amazing photos certainly speak for themselves. He’s incredibly talented and really delivers the most incredible shots that perfectly capture each moment. The amazing quality and dedication is unmatched. What really makes the difference in working with Eric is how he makes you feel.
    This truly can’t be understated when working with a photographer. It’s so important to have someone be able to help you feel comfortable and relaxed. I truly can’t say enough about my experience working with Eric. He shot 2 weddings I was in and looking at the results, I knew he was my first and only option for my wedding day. I had the most amazing experience and my wedding party and family also loved working with him. If all that isn’t enough, when my husband and I last minute decided to add a videographer to our wedding day, Eric was prepped with recommendations.
    We were so thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out, and the results from our videographer Eric recommended. Long story short; book Eric. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Marissa! It has been such a blast! From meeting you the first time as a bridesmaid years ago, to your incredibly perfect wedding day, I'm truly honored to know you and Stephen and be in your lives! Being there for your most special moments has been an unbelievable honor and I'm so grateful! Can't wait to keep up with you two! :)

    100/10 would recommend

    We loved working with Eric and we received so many compliments from our families, bridal party, and guests. He fit right in and got every picture we asked for and then some! He was flexible with our wishes but also knowledgeable to help us think of things we hadn’t. We absolutely adore our pictures and could not recommend him enough!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Aw, what kind words! Thank you Bethany! I had so much fun getting to know you and Zach! Such a blast getting to know your family and friends as well! You two are special and I'm so grateful to have had the honor of capturing your forever moments!

    The best of the best photography experience

    Eric was one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our wedding day. His winning personality, attention to detail, and amazing photography skills made for a seamless and stress free day. We cannot recommend him enough. His additional perks, such as helping make an itinerary for the day and vendor recommendations on his client portal is really the icing on the cake. So so pleased with our photographs that captured one of the most important days of our lives. Book with Eric, you will be SO thankful you did!! I know we are❤️

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    You're so kind Alexa! I enjoyed every moment with you two and the entire day was so filled with joy and laughter! Glad to have you both as friends!!! Thank you for including me in your day!

    Best Wedding Photographer Ever!

    We cannot say enough good things about Eric! In my opinion, a photographer is the most important vendor you will hire for your wedding because the memories that they capture will last for a lifetime. I knew I wanted someone who was detail oriented, flexible and had a creative and clean style. Eric surpassed all my expectations and I would recommend him a hundred times over!! We have already had multiple friends ask us for his information for their future photography needs. He took both our engagement and wedding photos, and every picture was perfect!! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, so our pictures turned out natural and relaxed. Eric listened and accommodated all my ideas, made sure to work through my crazy long list of the family photos and made all our family and bridal party feel comfortable because he is so easy to work with. Eric is caring, calming, super prepared, thorough, very talented and an absolute pro. It took so much stress away from our wedding having Eric as our photographer because we had full trust in him and was always available for questions. He captured every moment perfectly and captured many that we did not even see! I love looking through all our photographs to relive our day and will cherish them for years to come!   HIRE ERIC VEST!!! You will not be disappointed! He is the best wedding photographer you will find!!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Gina!!! I am so glad you and Jacob found me and asked me to be your wedding photographer! From your engagement session to your wedding, I loved hanging out with you two! I'm so happy you love every photo and I'm so glad you have those for years to come! So glad we became friends through this and I can't wait to keep up with you guys! Thank you for taking the time to write these kind words!!!

    Wedding with Eric Vest Photography

    We did an engagement and wedding photo shoot with Eric and we absolutely loved working with him. He is so friendly and easy to talk to and made us feel very comfortable. Leading up to the wedding he met with us to discuss a timeline and offered great advice. When the day came he did an excellent job getting everyone organized and taking all the photos with our families in a timely manner. He even went out of his way to make sure he got photos of us in the locations we wanted. He helped keep us in a joyful mood throughout the day! We just got our photos back and they are incredible! We could not recommend Eric more!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you David & Michaela for these incredible words! You two are a joy to be around and I was honored to be part of your day! Thank you for including me! Your wedding was an absolute dream!

    Exceptional

    Eric is the best wedding photographer we could ever ask for! Prior to the wedding, he was extremely thorough and responsive and we had the best day having our engagement photos done on the coldest day of 2021. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and in a timely manner. On our wedding day, he kept us on track of the timeline, resolved the bow-tie crisis for my husband (bonus points, Eric is the expert in bow-tie if you haven’t noticed), and he even had toys on him to make our flower girl stop crying! He captured the most wonderful moments for the most magical day! We had around 50 guests and didn’t hire a day of coordinator. But having Eric by our side, we felt so calm and hustle free. After the wedding, we got the sneak peek photos the day after our wedding day, and received all the photos back within a month! Eric is truly the best photographer not only for your wedding but for a lifelong friend to capture all the important moments of your life. We can’t wait to work with Eric again!

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    Dandy! From your amazing winter engagement to your perfect summer wedding, I have loved every moment with you two! You and Andrew are so sweet and I'm so honored to know you both! YES to lifelong friends and I can't wait to work with you guys again!!!

    Wouldn't have wanted anyone else for a photographer!

    Look no further than Eric Vest for your wedding photographer!! And I mean it. He did the most amazing job at capturing the moments that we wanted AND THEN SOME!! I found Eric on The Knot, filled out the online questionnaire, and within hours he called me and spent almost an hour on the phone talking with me about my wedding vision, my (now husband) and I's journey to finding one another, and everything in between. He was the most genuine and down to earth guy you could ask for. Leading up to the wedding, he was very communicative and in touch for whatever we needed. Then the day-of, he kept everything on schedule and in order (BUT in a way that we never felt rushed, pressured or anything!!). The thing that sealed it for us was how calm and organized he was during the entire day - we felt like we could be ourselves and actually enjoy getting married!! I could write a 10-page review on Eric, but the last, last thing I would say is stop looking and book Eric right now for whatever photography needs because he will not disappoint :)

    Eric Vest Photography, Inc.'s reply:

    You are so kind Katie!!! I loved every second with you and Pat and it was a joy to be there with you both on your wedding day! Thank you for your words! I'm flattered! I have truly gained two new friends in you guys and I can't wait to keep up!
