Short summary: If you are looking for a talented and professional photographer to capture your event in a story-telling photojournalistic way, my wife and I highly recommend working with Erin and suggest you check his availability as soon as possible because there's a chance he's already booked.

With only five weeks to plan for our wedding, my wife and I still wanted THE RIGHT photographer to capture our special day rather than the "cheapest" or the first photographer to respond to our inquiry. Our key requirements included the story-telling style of pictures, a professional who could listen to our ideas and incorporate them into the delivery, and most importantly, the quality of work being produced. After browsing through Erin's portfolio, making the decision to book him was one of the easiest decisions we made while planning our wedding. If you haven't checked out his gallery of photos, I encourage you to do so as the pictures he delivered are on-par in quality with the ones he has on his pages.

If you are reading this far, it means you are interested in the little details that might help you decide between your options, so here's my best attempt to describe our experience working with Erin from start to finish. In terms of communication, Erin responded to all our emails and inquiry very promptly (usually within an hour or less, unless it's after work hours). Since we were planning a long-distance wedding, communication was key as we were unable to just stop by or make an in-person appointment. When it came to discussing the minute details of the wedding, he accommodated our long-distance planning by Skyping with us at our convenience. With less than a month, he courteously listed everything he needed from us and provided us with deadlines to help ensure he could plan the day accordingly. With his years of experience, he provided great recommendations for the wedding day timeline and made sure we would have plenty of time to get ALL the pictures we wanted.

Second, while there are many photographers who are capable of taking great pictures, Erin's quality of work takes it to another level. His pictures aren't just amazing, but they also "capture the moment". Looking over the pictures after the wedding, we were reminded by what took place in each picture and they truly brought back emotions and memories of our special day. His final pictures are not over-edited or over-saturated but perfectly highlights the subjects in the picture. His framing and composition of each picture is what separates him from every other photographer and what drew us to his work. Also unlike many other photographers, he delivers all the best pictures of your wedding day and does not place a limit on the number of pictures that will be delivered. We eneded up receiving over 500 amazing pictures, which made it that much harder to select which to print and include in our wedding book as they were all amazing.

Third, as the bride and groom, you generally don't have time and shouldn't have to worry about the vendors that you've hired to make your day special. Erin was incredibly professional, he essentially blended in with the wedding and made sure he wasn't distracting us from celebrating or talking to our guests. While he may appear shy and reserved, he honestly has a great smile and was stress-free to work with. He checked in with us before we started getting dressed and had the timeline memorized prior to the wedding. He was very attentive and kept a keen eye for every spontaneous moment that shouldn't be missed on camera. He captured my wife's shoe falling off during our first dance and my sister jumping in front of the maid-of-honor to steal the bouquet mid-air right before it landed in her hands. He did his job and he exceeded our expectations. After the wedding, we received a selected handful of teaser pictures within a couple of days and the rest of our pictures within a month right in time for the holidays.

Overall, if you are looking for a photographer who you won't have to worry about on your wedding day, my wife and I can't recommend him enough. We were able to spend every minute of our wedding interacting with our guests without having to worry about getting high quality images to look back upon. As I mentioned, we set off to look for a photographer with pretty high expectations thinking we'd have to compromise on price or quality but we ended up working with a truly amazing professional at a very reasonable and affordable rate.
