Wedding photographer

We spent the most time researching wedding photographers during the wedding planning. We were looking for a more unique photographer, who was fun to work with. That’s exactly what we got with Holladay Photography! Erik captured moments that your traditional photographer will miss. He used different techniques that make your photos stand out. I would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!

Erik was amazing! He was so professional and also became a friend. They were both such cheerful troupers despite a ton of rain and still managed to get so many amazing shots! So much gratitude for Holladay Photography!!!

Erik is the best!

Erik is all you could want in a photographer. He was so fun, professional, excited about our day, and creative. We have some incredible portraits are absolute heirloom pieces, and also have so many candid shots of family that show the genuine emotion of the day. We couldn't be happier with our day and our photos.

Absolutely amazing. We loved them

We had Holladay Photography as our wedding photographer. Our photos are absolutely beautiful and they are different than everyone else’s! Erik and Randall we super great to work with and made sure we got everything we dreamed of. They made sure we felt comfortable and knew exactly what to expect going into our photos. They were organized and kept things running smoothly. We have the most memorable shots and we couldn’t be more thankful for them. Absolutely beautiful photos that we get to keep forever. Thank you!!!

The Best and the Coolest!

Erik is the best and the coolest!
As another professional wedding photographer, Erik is the one that my now husband and I trusted to document our wedding day. Erik was amazing at integrating our personalities, sense of humor, and unique qualities into our engagement and wedding photos.
Erik was always punctual, always professional, and when appropriate silly and hilarious.
He was awesome with all our our friends and family during the process as well.
Love you Erik!!!

11/10 would hire again!

Erik was amazing to work with. He has amazing artistic vision and execution, is extremely professional and a great communicator, but still fun and flexible at the same time. He photographed our wedding on Star Wars Day (May the 4th be with you!) and didn’t bat an eye at what I’m sure were some unusual requests as far as weddings go! I highly recommend Erik for your wedding photography needs. He will go above and beyond for your wedding day.

Erik is such a wonderful and creative photographer and an all around consummate professional. His kind heart, passion and enthusiasm towards us and the importance of our wedding day made working with him a pleasure. He has an intuitive eye for capturing special moments in brilliant ways. He had undying energy and stamina to spend the whole day and night with us starting at our home, hopping onto a limo bus that shuttled us to our wedding ceremony in the mountains and then, continued to be with us in Denver for our reception.
We are so blessed to have connected with him and consider him a friend.

I've known Erik for at least ten years now. I've known him for long enough that I don't remember when our paths first crossed, but they crossed while we were both working as freelance photojournalists in Michigan. Erik and I both made use of Nikon camera bodies. Ever since I was young, I had felt that Nikon was the way to go for professional work. What has always impressed me about Erik's work is his commitment to technical accuracy, regardless of subject. You won't find many other photographers who are calculating shutter speed in their head while considering aperture and strobe. When it came time for my wife and I to consider a wedding photographer, she knew from my past that it was important to hire professional help. As soon as she saw Erik's work (especially with weddings), she insisted that we hire him, regardless of expense. I've always felt privileged to call Erik a friend and I was happy we were able to include friends as our wedding vendors - it made the day a whole lot more special.

We're celebrating our first wedding anniversary today and we have an amazing album of photography to remember it with. You will not regret hiring Erik to photograph your event.

Erik and Randall photographed our June 2016 wedding and they were superb! Their professionalism and engaging personalities certainly put us at ease especially since we are not used to getting professional pictures taken. Erik's photojournalism background presents you with a cinematic style that is unique and authentic. He captures your day and makes sure to please his customers by asking the right questions and making it easy so you know you can rely on his expertise. I would recommend Erik and Randall to anyone looking for quality work with timeless results. We are so thankful we found him!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
