About Erik Anderson - Photography, LLC.
Erik Anderson - Photography
I'm a 34-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, our soon-to-be daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.
As a hybrid photographer, I combine the timeless beauty of film with the flexibility of digital photography and specialize in Super 8mm film videography. With a BA in Photography and experience as a photojournalist for 12 newspapers, I’ve developed a strong foundation in storytelling through imagery. Since 2014, I’ve blended my artistic eye with a documentary approach, capturing authentic moments with creativity and precision. From my unique style to my vibrant personality and professionalism, I provide an experience as unforgettable as the memories we’ll create together. Not only all of that, but 300+ weddings have solidified my expertise.

Wedding photos
From the moment we first spoke with Erik, we knew he was the perfect photographer for our wedding. His friendly and passionate personality immediately put us at ease, and his professionalism shone through every step of the way. Erik's work is truly exceptional - the photos he captured are authentic, beautiful, expressive, emotive, and elegant. He had amazing ideas for poses and shots that resulted in stunning, one-of-a-kind images that we will cherish forever. Erik made our wedding day incredibly fun and joyful, keeping us laughing and smiling the entire time. His efficient and organized approach ensured the photo portion of the day went seamlessly. We are beyond thrilled with the work Erik did and cannot recommend him highly enough for any couple looking for a truly talented and wonderful wedding photographer. Erik was so great to work with right from the start. I could tell right off the bat just through email that he was so passionate about the work that he does. He also showed so much excitement to get the opportunity to capture our special day. He was very professional and thorough when communicating with us. Our engagement photo session was SO fun, and my husband and I both immediately felt comfortable with Erik. He is so friendly and so easy to work with. Getting pictures taken like that with a significant other can feel awkward, but Erik made it anything but that! It felt very natural and enjoyable, and it felt the exact same way on our wedding day. He took the time to get to know us and our vibe, and rolled with that when taking our pictures. All of our pictures capture our relationship and our love so well, and I’m so thankful we chose Erik! If you want beautiful pictures and some super fun photo sessions, book Erik as your photographer!

The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Wedding - Bride
From the moment my husband and I first spoke with Erik Anderson, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Erik's communication style was professional, quick, and proficient, always making us feel respected and at ease. The quality of his work is truly amazing - the photos are clean, crisp, and incredibly creative, capturing the beauty of our special day in a way that exceeds our wildest expectations!! Erik went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. He helped me feel relaxed about the timeline, made me feel beautiful, and assured me that he and the vendors would handle all the details so I didn't have to worry. Erik even had one of his talented teammates join us (even though I did not pay to have a second photographer), and they were both incredibly helpful - carrying my dress train, assisting with poses, and making the photo process quick and efficient. Erik's fun, easygoing personality made it a joy to work with him, and we were thrilled to get our stunning photos back so quickly. We are blown away by the results of our photos and we will definitely going to be reaching out to him in the future! Overall, we couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and stunning results from Erik Anderson - Photography.
