Erin, owner of Gallery Nine North, is a pleasure to work with and captures wonderful photographs. Before I begin my review, I highly encourage couples to schedule engagement photographs as well. This allowed us to feel comfortable behind the camera with Erin - added bonus is getting to know Erin; he is kind and listens to what you like and dislike.
There were two main things that caught our eye when we looked at his portfolio: photojournalistic photographs & ability to capture the love between a couple surrounded by the beauty nature offers. Our venue was at a state park - we love nature & trees. For that reason, we knew that Erin was our photographer, and he did not disappoint. Our engagement photographs came out so great that we ended up using them at our rehearsal dinner & wedding ( for ex., they were used as part of the wedding favors). We also appreciate how Erin was able to capture amazing photos of the dance floor - it is great to relieve such an important Big Day via photos. I will add one quick highlight - which I think is important to show how reliable Erin is: at the last minute, the location for our First Look became unavailable. Luckily, Erin had already scouted the grounds and found an amazing alternative location. Glad we could trust him, because that area was perfect. While planning a wedding is fun, it is no secret it can get stressful. Hiring the right photographer is important. Check out his gallery. If you want to see more, just ask him (there are couples that authorize him to show more). We loved our wedding so much, and are so happy we have these photos. We also appreciate his time to discuss with us our timeline. That is important because I realized I needed additional hours, and I am so glad I did that. Lastly, I will add that he is professional, has quick turn around, and delivers the final product in such a beautiful way. -

On October 14, 2023, I married my best friend & soulmate, Kieran! It was an absolutely perfect day, one we will hold in our hearts forever! Making our day even more special was our photographer, E. Reid Coker (Gallery Nine North)! My husband & I would like to thank him for the terrific job he did capturing our special day in the amazing photos that we'll forever cherish!! He allowed family & friends to gather for some extra special photos, taken outside the church, as well as our reception! He was very accommodating & patient with everyone involved... a "true professional"!! He made everyone involved a priority, at the same time, highlighting the bride & groom! The amazing job he did made our day extra special! He captured our wedding more beautifully can we ever could've imagined... for that, we are truly grateful! E. Reid Coker is a wonderful photographer and so very professional! Kieran & I would recommend him to any family or friend planning their special day! Thank you so very much, E. Reid Coker!
Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. Kieran White 😊 -

When looking for a photographer, I found it difficult to find someone who offered simple. I wasn’t looking for packages and albums and engagement sessions and over edited images. I just wanted simple, elegant photos of our special day taken by someone who could guide us through the process.
Cue Erin! His pricing was simple, his photos were beautiful, weren’t over edited and his personality was a perfect match for us. Erin was very communicative throughout the process, he assisted us with timelines and formal photo requests. When the day came, he arrived on time and honestly I barely noticed he was there, much of the time! He captured the small details, candids and great formals. And the photos we received were better than I could’ve dreamed! His eye for detail was amazing. We had so many people ask ‘where was that taken?!’ Meanwhile most were taken in my back yard and others in a field! They speak for themselves and we are beyond happy with the results. He had photos back to us within a few weeks and I was so impressed. I highly recommend Erin. -

Best experience and amazing photos!
Erin was awesome to work with. We hired Gallery Nine North after having another photographer fall through. My husband and I keep saying it was the best thing that could have gone “wrong” during planning. From the start Erin was super punctual in responding and so kind! We were doing everything on our own for the wedding so having his expertise in timing for the day was crucial. He was so fun and comfortable to work with the day of which helped us stay super relaxed in front of the camera. Our pictures turned out stunning. He captured our vibe perfectly. He gave us the perfect mix of documentary style candids, gorgeous artsy photos, and portraits that our family loves! We cannot recommend Gallery Nine North enough! Thank you so much Erin!! -

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.Gallery Nine North's reply:
I truly appreciate your kind comments and can't say enough how easy it was to work with an amazing couple like yourselves. It's times like these, and reviews such as this one that solidifies exactly why I became a professional photographers. It's been a long road but all the bumps disappear when I hear how my images are appreciates and more importantly, will be in your family for a lifetime for all to relive. Thank you both. -

User2667225 Sent on 06/29/2016If you are looking for the most wonderful wedding photographers then you MUST have Gallery 9 North for your wedding. Having beautiful photos was most important to me on my wedding day. When I saw my wedding photos, I was absolutely blown away by how amazing they were. Not only were our photos beautiful but working with Erin and Jason for both our engagement photos and our wedding was wonderful! They are both extremely great to work with. They were very helpful and fun to work with. My husband and I have never had more fun taking photos! You will not be disappointed with these guys. They are truly the best of the best! -
User1763574 Sent on 08/13/2014We are so glad we chose Gallery 9 North to photograph our wedding. They did an amazing job of capturing everything from candid moments to all the little details in decorations and made the planned sessions very easy for us to get through. We received our final photography in just 5 short weeks and couldn't be happier! -
User1691899 Sent on 07/02/2014As we began looking for photographers for our wedding, we weren't sure if what we wanted even existed. My then-fiance, in particular, didn't want the typical (or "cheesy" in his words) wedding poses or staged shots. We were looking for something a bit more straightforward, clean, yet full of emotion and life and told the story of the day. We also wanted high quality photographs without paying a fortune. Shockingly, these photographers exist in Jason & Erin at Gallery 9 North, who were able to give us exactly what we were looking for. They were responsive and easy to work with. Jason was assigned to shoot the ladies before the ceremony and he couldn't have been nicer, sweeter or more helpful. Erin was with the guys and got some amazing (and hilarious) photos of them drinking and betting on horses before the wedding. They had a real photojournalist style at the wedding itself, in that you hardly even saw either one of them, they were so completely unobtrusive. They still managed to get all of the requisite family and bridal party shots we asked for. What really stood out though were the candids. Everyone has been remarking how incredibly well they were able to somehow capture the elusive feel and vibe of the day-- how joyful and happy we all were. What's more, all of the photos are such incredibly high quality. They are really artists in how they captured the light, composition and colors. We couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos we have from our wedding (oh yeah, we already have all of them, not even 1 month out from the wedding!) Thank you Jason & Erin!!
