I was really impressed with the pictures themselves, they captured some amazing expressions, my…read moreissue is with the canvas pictures I purchased. They used the same low quality canvas you can buy at pat catans for about 5 bucks only they charge you in the hundreds. I was really disappointed by the quality of canvas I expected it to be a professional level of canvas for the amount of money paid in reality I could have paid less and had a canvas made through mpix. They also messed up my order with what pictures I wanted printed so now I'm left with pictures that I didn't necessarily want printed and I'm not even sure I received as many as I should have with what I paid, which as we all know is very frustrating.

As a novice musician, I was very pleased…read morewith the fact that he tried as hard as I did in making sure I sounded and looked as good as possible, and he did a great job! He was very accommodating during parts of the project where I wanted specific things but had more than enough creative direction to lead parts of the project where I was unsure. In addition to his professionalism, he was very polite, which made him easy to work with. I was very impressed with the quality of his work and have gotten many compliments about the high production value of the video. Overall, I am extremely happy with my experience with Matt Erickson Photography. I was thrilled to find someone who could share my vision and I would absolutely work with him again.

She made the process extremely comfortable, and I think Sarah's photos truly captured me!

We sort of stumbled on Sarah at Desired Focus. A wedding photographer is a hugely important part of…read morethe planning stages; their job is to capture all the moments on one of the most emotional days of your life. We wanted someone who could not only capture the moment but also our personalities. We were fairly intimidated when we started shopping around. My husband has been studying photography for awhile and had some very specific ideas about his wants and don't wants. We both agreed that we wanted a photographer who would get as much right in-camera and have a subtle touch with the post-processing work. Since we were going for a pretty non-traditional wedding, we also needed someone who would "get" it... or, at least, be game for it. We lucked out with Sarah across the board. Pretty much from the moment we met her at a consult, we were sold. Not only does she have extremely solid photographic and post-processing skills, she is exceptionally nice and out-going. We had a blast at an engagement shoot in Granville. She had great ideas and was open to suggests of location/pose/etc... A couple weeks after the shoot, Sarah came by and we went through the shoot to pick out shots to enhance. Then a couple weeks later (due to technical issues), we got the results and they were fantastic! At this point, we knew we'd chosen the right person to photograph our wedding. About a month before the ceremony, we went over a shot list (our requested photographs) and asked that Sarah take as many candids as she wanted. We also gave her a warning; the event location (16-Bit bar & arcade) is quite dark and that could be an issue. On our event day, Sarah arrived promptly and went to work right away. She took mostly candid shots with a few posed shots mixed in. She blended in with the crowd so that you didn't know that she was there most of the time.. but she also mingled freely and looked like she was having as much fun as the rest of us! This past weekend we were able to get a look at the pictures. And they are amazing! They are so good that we aren't having any of them enhanced. Typically, I hate the way I photograph but she got some shots of me where I look fantastic. We are thrilled with the photographs that Sarah took. I would highly recommend her for wedding, event or portrait photography. She also teaches some photography classes every so often. Her Facebook page is more frequently updated than her website so check for her there.
