"I initially came across Erik's work via Google, where I liked what I saw so I contacted him about photographing a family event. He was professional from the word go: he did research into the venue ahead of time, asked good questions about our wants/expectations and was respectful of our timing constraints. The session itself went smoothly and he easily managed both staged and "freestyle" photos of an extended family of different generations (including several babies). He was incredibly nice and put us all at ease, but, most importantly, we *loved* the photos, which were ready within a week. I highly, highly recommend him!"

"Erik took pictures of our family gathering for my father's 70th birthday. With 12 adults and toddlers scattered about, Erik managed to produce beautiful pictures while making the process as painless as possible. If anything, it was a pleasure to work with him. I was so impressed by how warm, and laid-back, and friendly he was. I am NOT someone who enjoys having her picture taken, so having Erik create such a relaxed environment was much appreciated. I recommend him with full enthusiasm."

"Erik came highly recommended from a close family friend. My daughter had some last minute auditions come up that she needed to have professional headshots for. Erik made himself available and had the photos edited and posted within two days. He was able to capture her in specific dance poses that really showcase her talent. He was very accommodating and great to work with. I would highly recommend Erik for both his talent and professionalism."

"Erik did a great job with our family portraits. He came to our house with his portable studio. The photos came out looking great. I've already recommended him to our family and friends! "

"Erik came to our house to photography my 2 and 6 year olds. He was extremely patient and the photographs came out better than I ever imagined! He will be taking our family photos from now on. I highly recommend him!"

"We were first introduced to Erik through our friends. We had the opportunity to examine the images taken from their wedding in 2011. We knew at that point that we had to enlist Erik for our wedding.

We were married on 7/28 and while there were clouds in the sky, Erik made it happen.

We had the views of the Hudson, the landscapes of Locust Grove and the clouds were used to our advantage. He handled everything with professionalism. His photos were absolutely amazing!

He knew the angles and how to make a cloudy day deliver the most incredible pictures we have ever taken. We are not typically photogenic but Erik changed that on our wedding day.

I recommend Erik highly. He is down to earth, friendly and an awesome photographer. He worked hard for us on our wedding day so we did not have to worry about anything.

Thank you Erik!
2 thumbs up!"

"Erik brings a new way of looking at photography that you will be pleased with."

"Stumbling upon Erik Christian Photography during our wedding planning is something my husband and I will be forever grateful about. Our wedding at Bethel Woods was incredible, but we never could have imagined how breath taking our photos would turn out to be. Erik did an amazing job at capturing the Old World rustic feel we had so been longing to create for our wedding day. And despite how absolutely perfect our wedding photos came out, his entire process and demeanor throughout the day expressed both professionalism and a passion for what he does. he was never invasive & unless you looked for him, never really noticed he was there. He completely blended into the atmosphere and captured so many fantastic candid moments, in that looking at our photos now, we can relive each and every memory. As any bride will tell you, your wedding day will fly right passed you. You forget to soak in each and every detail as it all just becomes a blur. Erik Christian Photography will help you remember those details you thought had slipped past you in such an inspiring way. The magic he is able to create in just the click of his camera will leave you with a remarkable collection of memories that you will treasure for a lifetime. I will never be able to express how truly grateful I am to have had such a dedicated and gifted photographer take part in one of the greatest days of my life. If you are looking for a different kind of photographer, one who has the ability to capture the absolute and overall feeling of your big event and not the superficial cheesy grins and poses, than you will not be disappointed.

"Erik did our family portraits right in our home. It was convenient and the outdoor shots came out amazing. The cost was very reasonable as well- so much better than going to a department store!"

"Erik did a phenominal job shooting our six month old. He was professional but sympathetic to the 'challenges' of photographing small children.
He came to our house and set up lighting and different backdrops as well as bringing a ton of choices for props. We got professional photographs witbout having to leave our house. We also got all of this at a great price. We would recommend him to anyone! :-)"

"So grateful we found Erik! We are from Long Island and wanted an engagement photohoot thats different from everyone else, and Erik defiently made it happen for us. The pictures came out amazing!"

"He was professional and Personable at the
same time. I would definately use him in the future and recommend him to anyone and everyone. He was patient with me and my family. I have great wedding pictures. I wish I could display all of them but there simply is not enough walls in my house. I am extremely happy with all my wedding photos. He captured moments that were so special to us. He knew right where and when to be there and I didn't even realize it. Thank Erik !! You are Amazing and I will be in touch in the Future when I need family portraits or anything else. Thank you for capturing my big day with a lifetime of memories. I am so Grateful!! "

"Erik was extremely professional, ans was very attentive to our needs. The quality of his photos was wonderful. He has a knack for lighting subjects in a very pleasing manner. I should know, I am a photographer myself. I wish I was as good a portrair photographer as he is. I definitely reccommend him for your photos. VERY talented."

"Erik was patient with our 3 and 5 year old and got amazing shots. We just love them and everyone who sees them thinks they're fabulous. He is so easy to work with and we recommend him to everyone!"

"Vilma and I continue to hear complement after complement from our family and friends about the photos from our wedding.

We have even had people comment on the fact that you were always at the right place at the right time to get the best photo.

I know we said thanks many times at the wedding but we wanted to send you an additional note of appreciation and thanks.

The time you invested (8 plus hours), and the professionalism you displayed were a tremendous blessing to Vilma and I both. We noticed on several occasions during the reception your diligence in positioning yourself for just the right shot as well as being courteous to our guests.

We have had family over to our home in Dallas to look at pictures and there are so many that are just priceless. There are several of Vilma in front of the Catlin Gardens Inn that everyone?s says ?looks like a wedding picture right out of Brides magazine?. You captured her beauty and personality perfectly! The one of my Mom and Dad laughing at dinner is a trophy, we gave a framed copy to them for Christmas. The story behind
what they were laughing about is still a topic of conversation and laughter at family dinners. The pictures of our family and the different families
represented are timeless, they look like something posed and taken at a studio.
They are beautiful!

Thank you again for being a part of a true blessing for Vilma and I, we could not have chosen a more gifted person to trust with documenting our day.
We are already talking about and planning our anniversary at Catlin Gardens later this year and would like for you to be a part. We would be honored
to share our experience with anyone that may be considering your professional services.

With Best Regards

Dwight & Vilma Carter"

"With three babies, 2 and under, getting pictures taken is a hassle to say the least... Erik made it so easy and was patient with us! We loved how the pictures turned out and would highly recommend him! "

"Erik is a great photographer who can handle any situation. Whether you need a family or child portrait or a wedding photographer, he is the best out there."

"Erik is very professional, patient, creative and artistic. It was so easy working with him. He takes the time to listen and create photos that captured memories for us that will last a lifetime. I am so excited to be able to work with him again in the near future for my son's wedding."

"I only have one word to describe this photographer absolute...an amazing photographer love his work

P. Hall"

"Erik did an AMAZING job on our wedding photos. This was essentially a "destination" wedding for us as we live in GA and were planning a wedding in Upstate NY. We were able to communicate via phone and email before meeting him in person. He was so warm and professional there was no need to even research other photographers. The day of the event Erik was everywhere he needed to be capturing moments we would have missed had we not seen the photos. The day absolutely flew by and I'm so glad we have the images to go back to and remember dances, laughs and glances. I can't say enough about how pleased my husband, family and I are with his work. Erik now has a fan base in GA, everyone who sees the pictures raves! I only wish he was here in GA to take our maternity pictures:)"

"Erik was professional and personable from start to finish - it was a pleasure to work with him. (Of course, he did all the work!) Two photo sessions with various family members, including a 3-week old infant were challenges he easily met. Both formal and informal photos, inside and out, turned out wonderfully."

"Erik did a fantastic job with the pictures of my son's 1st Communion. Every style of picture I asked for was done quickly, professionally and came out perfect! All in a time crunch, too!! I didn't give him much time to set up, take pictures and break down before guests arrived. Erik is a fantastic photographer and I highly recommend him"

"Erik Christian Photography did a marvelous job on our daughter's wedding, from the beginning to the end.

Erik handled the initial contact, and the paperwork smoothly and in a way that put my mind at ease.

He and his assistant arrived on time to the wedding; Erik talked with my daughter and myself, and the pastor, about the wedding and the shots we wanted and could have. During the ceremony, he shot with vigor and energy, all the while managing to be unobtrusive.

After the ceremony, he made gorgeous pictures of everyone involved, and continued his high-focus work at the reception, getting wonderful candid, fun photos.

He delivered a tasting menu of photos a week or so after the wedding, and the full array in six weeks as promised.

The photographs are full of life and love and the joy of the event. They are beautiful. I am more than satisfied. I am thrilled! "

"Erik takes photos of my product for my website and store. He is dependable and professional and my clients are always commenting on the quality of the photos he produces. I highly recommend him.
"

"Erik is a rare combination of qualities: organized, reliable, prompt ... and truly talented and artistic.
I'm one of those people who is not at all photogenic, but Erik managed to make me look good in the portrait he shot of me. He also wanted to try some interesting ideas with unusual lighting, and those shots turned out super.
I'd recommend Erik for anything from straight-ahead portraits to wild and wacky fun shots."

"Erik photographed our bowling fundraiser, and presented us with a number of dynamic, fun, and well-documented photos that he got back to us in a hurry so we could publish them to the event goers. Really glad we hired him!"

"We just wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the great job and all the wonderful memories you provided for us on our wedding day. You really captured some beautiful moments. We look forward to sharing all of our pictures with our families and creating a special scrapbook to share with our little one in the future.

Again, a big THANK YOU!!!!! "

"Erik was a professional from our consultation until we got our prints (in record time). Very easy to talk to, extremely eager to please, and willing to work through all of my then-wife-to-be Pat's last-minute changes. The only thing we didn't have to worry about on our Special Day was our photographer."

"I have to say that I was very happy with Erik. He came to my home and took pictures of my big family. I know how hard it is to take pictures of five kids including an infant and toddler but Erik did a wonderful job. Especially he was so patient and understanding with my 2 year old. He did so many different poses and I loved them all. Our family portrait came out beautiful. Not only was I happy with the quality of the pictures but the service. I had my pictures in less than a week. Erik did an outstanding job and I am looking forward to more future photo shoots with him."

"Erik came to my mother's home several days before Christmas to do a photo shoot and the photos were fantastic! There wasn't one we didn't like. Whatever poses we suggested, he was up for - giving us free reign to be as silly or as serious as we wanted to be. He was very patient and willing - he even delivered before Christmas! His work is outstanding and he has been dubbed our family photographer."
