    Great to work with and amazing photos

    Michelle and Pete were such fun to work with! For our engagement shoot they picked a lovely location and guided us through the whole process (we definitely needed help in the posing department!).

    For our wedding Michelle was so great at keeping us on track timewise without feeling like we were being rushed or hurried! They both captured us and our once in a lifetime moments with some amazing photos! We especially loved the different shots that came from having both straight photos and ones with special lighting...we had many comments on how we looked like we were in a fariy tale!

    Thank you Four Eyes Photography for giving us photos we will cherish and love for a lifetime!

    Pete did an awesome job with our wedding photography! We got married in Bend although we live in Portland so we needed somebody who knew the area, was flexible, and would take awesome photos. Pete did it all (in 90+ degree weather) and had a smile on his face the whole time. Thanks Pete!

    Pete was an exceptional find for our big day! He met with us beforehand to get to know us, our style, and what our expectations were. Our ceremony was outdoors in the rain. He was enthusiastic and found new artistic ideas everywhere that looked great. He was also very responsive to our ideas and positively influenced them. Out of every detail of our experience with Pete, we can't find anything negative to say. We highly recommend him for anyone else's special day.

    The photos were world class and spending some time with Pete is very fun. He makes it look easy and has a nice style.

    Pete did such a great job on both our engagement and wedding photos! We couldn't have been happier. Not only is he very talented (just look at his work) - that was what initially caught our eyes - but he is also just a genuinely nice and friendly guy. You can see the passion he has for his craft in the time and effort he puts into his photo shoots. In no way does it feel like a business transaction - he made us feel relaxed and he impressed us with his dedication to certain shots! We would (and have done so) recommend Pete to anyone - we are keeping his number for anniversary/family photos down the line :) We have a priceless collection of (digital!) photos now that we will have in our family for a very long time.

    Majestic.... That is the only word I know how to describe the way Pete captured the moments of our wedding. I would recommend him for any event. He was great to work with. Joe and I loved the energy he brought in making sure he captured every single moment. When we received our photos we were in awe. Joe and I could not even begin to pick a favorite because every single picture was our favorite! OOOHHHH! not to mention the presentation of the photos. They came to us in a beautiful wooden box with a with our photos neatly tucked inside wrapped in a bow. For any events I have in the future whether it be a family event our baby pictures I will forever only use Pete.

    Majestic! That is the only way I know how to describe the way Pete captured the moments in our wedding. My husband and I could not even begin to pick a favorite photo! There was not a missed moment or a bad angle in any photo. He is not afraid to go outside the box to get that special one of a kind picture. Pete is the only photographer that my husband I will ever use again from our engagement photos to someday family photos. Working with Pete was a pleasure for us. I would recommend Pete for any occasion/event.

    We hired Pete to photograph our slope side wedding ceremony on Pine Martin at Mt Bachelor March 2014. Pete captured our ceremony and the mountain surroundings beyond our expectations. The lighting was especially difficult with the snow and overcast sky. Pete was relaxed with the challenge. Every image that he created that day seemed to tell it's own story. His experience, artistic eye, and passion for his chosen profession were evident in his ability to capture our genuine expressions for each uniquely composed photo. We found Pete to be honest, respectful, and extremely reliable. We had a great experience working with Pete. Our end result was a sensational wedding photo album to remember our day.

    From start to finish Pete was a true professional! I was a nervous bride but Pete's sense of humour coupled with his professionalism made the whole experience one which was relaxed and most importantly great fun! The end product was an album which reflected exactly what we requested, presented to us in a range of style and finishes. Many thanks for all your wonderful work Pete. It was truly an honour to have you take our wedding pictures! Muireann & Robert

    Pete Erickson did an amazing job on our wedding at an even more amazing price! He was very diligent and artful in capturing the beautiful photos that exemplified our event. It resulted in one photo in particular that captured the tone, beauty and color of the perfect autumn day of our wedding with fairy tale lighting and brilliant fall colors. Weddings are stressful events that require an outpouring of money but this was an area that I felt we got a great value for our money. I felt more than comfortable that we were getting great, quality photos without the high fees that other area photographers charge.

    Pete captured the tone and excitement of our day perfectly! His background in photo journalism shone through in every memory captured on film. Anyone can have wedding photos, it takes a talented photographer to capture the story of the day!

    We hired Pete after our initial photographer bailed (luckily we were still six months out) and were immediately pleased at his timeliness in responding, his enthusiasm for all things wedding photography related and his work, and how excited he was to shoot our wedding. We went with a lower package because of our budget, but even as a one-man-show we were dumbfounded at the finesse, skill, and dedication of his shots --- our ceremony was no more than 15 minutes start-to-finish and he got SO MANY DIFFERENT SHOTS...guests said he was literally (but unobtrusively!) racing from one end to the other. We received so many compliments about our photos, his demeanor, his dedication to our event, and how friendly and low-key he was. Even when he was shooting candids, very few people noticed he was there: such a nice change from in-your-face photographers! He captured so many beautiful moments of our day, we were so lucky to find Pete, and we will recommend him all day every day to anyone who asks. Also...we had our photos back in two weeks! My friend got married two weeks before we did, and her photographer still hadn't even sent her a sample photo by the time we received ALL of our photos from his capable hands! Gotta love it!

    Pete was the perfect photographer for our wedding. With his background in photojournalism, he captured the event in a natural way. He also has a great eye for setting the scene (check out his amazing landscapes sometime), so the portraits are also beautiful. He was easy to work with, up for suggestions and gave his all to provide quality shots of our wedding. I love getting out the wedding book and reliving our special day.

    Simply put, Pete is the BEST. There were a lot of people that I was thankful to have surrounding us on our special day. But two years later, one of the people that stands out in my mind as an exceptional part of our wedding, was Pete. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

    Beautiful; Photos, Fun, Flexible, and Relaxed Service

    Michelle and Pete were a great team. I appreciated having 2 photographers to help catch the best angles, light, and candid moments. Additionally, I appreciated them creating a custom package for our small COVID-era wedding and their flexibility to get he types of photos we wanted. And of course, we got gorgeous photos out of it!

    Pete was so incredible. We are so grateful we decided to select him as our photographer. Our wedding venue unexpectedly had to change just 2 months before the wedding. Pete took a less than gorgeous venue and still took shots that made the day look amazing. He was so funny, well dressed, and creative. He was the perfect guy to have around on our wedding day!! We can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!!!
