A hidden gem in San Diego! Best wedding photos!

Working with Eri was incredible. She was very communicative and easy to work with leading up to our wedding and the day of. Being photo shy myself - I was nervous about the process and how the photos turned out. Our wedding day photos turned out AMAZING. They exceeded my expectations and Eri had them turned around in less than a week. I am so happy with my experience. She is a hidden gem in the area and I highly recommend her.

Eri the journalistic eye

Eri was very responsive and explicit in finding out what photos we wanted. On the day of she showed up on time and was very professional for the duration of the event. We absolutely love how the pictures came out and she was very prompt on getting photos back to us. Wouldn't recommend anyone else!

Beyond excellent!

Eri was the perfect choice for our event. Not only is she a polished professional, but she also clearly has a keen artistic eye with which she took all the pieces of the event and elevated them to a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind photo set!     
As an artist myself I greatly appreciate the care and insight she utilized to help us get the perfect wedding photos.      
She is absolutely a joy to work with and was invaluable for her direction helping us pose and feel comfortable in front of the camera.      
Of the many vendor quotes I received, her pricing is very reasonable (perhaps undervalued for her caliber of service!) and I would hire her again in a heartbeat.      
Some vendors are difficult to get a hold of and yet another major benefit to Folklore Photo Studio is her responsiveness/communication. Planning events is hard enough without vendors being difficult to reach.
