After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

Just got married at Brookview and had the most amazing experience. Kailyn was great to work with, answered all of our questions (we had a lot!), and made sure all of the details were ready to go. There was rain right before the Ceremony and the staff was so proactive about wiping off chairs and helping us make the decision to move our cocktail hour indoors. With unexpected rain on my wedding day, I was so appreciative that they were on top of these sorts of things and I didn’t have to worry. We catered the Taco Bar from Three One Six and got so many compliments on the food. Guests were so happy and it is truly a beautiful venue.

We had the best experience having our wedding at Nicollet Island Pavilion. It was so beautiful! We loved that it had such great outdoor scenery while still being in the city. Morgan at Mintahoe was super helpful throughout the entire planning process, she worked with us through all our custom requests ensuring everything was exactly how we wanted it. We got a ton of compliments from our guests on the food and we loved the cake!

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

I’m someone who usually avoids being in photos and never let anyone, not even my partner, take pictures of me. But working with Eric completely changed that. Quinn and I were blown away by our photos. The entire experience felt effortless, like hanging out with a friend. Eric is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, which made the session so enjoyable. If you’re camera-shy or nervous about having your photo taken, I can’t recommend Eric enough. You won’t regret it.
