Eric is an amazing photographer! He is extremely kind, understanding, genuine, patient, and hilarious!
My fiancé and I had a specific and unique envision for 3 separate shoots:
1. Our first engagement photo shoot (in SF)
2. Our engagement celebration with family
3. Our second engagement photo shoot (2 and 3-both in Carmel).
For our very first engagement shoot, my fiancé and I had (4) four outfit changes, for (4) four specific locations within SF. Eric had a portable changing booth (which made changing so much easier!) We spent about 10-12 hours on the first shoot. Simply posing for the pictures was so much fun and exciting. Eric made us laugh a lot which made us very comfortable. He was able to catch our moments of blissful romance.
Eric is also very creative! He has a great eye for making ordinary things...pop! From posing on a typical bench, or walking through an ivy arch walkway..he was able to capture our genuine laughter and the background/scenery in such delight! The day was definitely long but the photos were worth every second!
Our families adored Eric at our engagement celebration! We celebrated at Casanova Restaurant in Carmel. We had an art gallery theme using our initial engagement photos (taken by Eric in SF) as decor throughout the Harvest Room. Our family was amazed by our photos and still (till this I day) compliment us on the amazing poses/style of photos! They also loved meeting Eric. He captured those details which made that day so amazing. From our decor, the cake, family conversation, kids playing, speech...everything! He is such a fun guy to work with. My uncles and cousins even took a selfie with him!
Our third photo shoot was after our engagement celebration on Carmel/ Pebble Beach. I remember, Eric asked, how adventurous we were feeling. I knew this was going to be something exciting! He had an envision to capture a great shot. He stood on the beach (on the lower area), while we climbed a hill to get on higher grounds (in front of Pebble Beach) the shot was amazing. The photo captured the larger scenery, while we remained in a certain quadrant of the shot.
Eric captured the romance between my finance and I. That is what mattered!
To summarize, I highly recommend Eric for his creativity, patience, and honesty. He is very professional (in his work and attire), as well as efficient. I have used other photographers in the past, yet they do not stand a chance in front of Eric's work! He is wonderful to work with. I wish I could give him a higher rating than just five stars.
