gmoney's reviews

First and foremost, Eric is a very talented and professional photographer and a person with great integrity and heart. I would recommend this photographer to anyone in a heart beat. That is why I find JustAnotherBridezilla's review very puzzling and strange.

Last year, my friend had Eric Powell as her photographer; I was one of her bridesmaids. We all had so much fun with Eric. It was such a cold day, making it challenging to relax for the photo shoot, but Eric made it so much fun that almost made us forget how cold it was. When the pictures came out, my friend was very happy, and I was very impressed. So, when the time came for my wedding this year, I immediately thought of Eric and met with him in his office and saw samples of his work. I was very impressed with his work. But even though I felt Eric was the right photographer, since he was the first and the only photographer I knew, I thought I should meet with a few other photographers, so that I can compare and make an informative decision rather than merely out of impulse. I did. They were all great and professional, but Eric, I thought, was the best by far. His photography was just top notch, and in addition, I believed his great sense of humor could ease the wedding day stress and jitter, as I witnessed at my friend's wedding.

Well, I certainly did make the right choice by having Eric as my photographer. He called a few days before the wedding to touch base and to make sure we were on the same page. Thank goodness he did. As we were going over the timeline for the day, he pointed out several things I hadn't even thought about. Had he not pointed those things out, everything could potentially have been delayed and made a big mess. Apparently, Eric's experience in wedding business stretches beyond just photography. He clearly knows how the day should unfold and sees possible pitfalls, so you can avoid those disasters before they strike on your wedding day.

So, the day finally arrived. We started early in the morning. Eric and his assistant Alexis came right on time. Actually, a little before they were supposed to start and set up everything and surveyed the location, trying to find good spots to take pictures. By 9 which is the time he was due, he and Alexis were all ready to go. I really appreciated that. Just as he was at my friend's wedding, Eric made the photo shoot a wonderful experience. I am normally camera shy, but he made me feel very beautiful and at ease. He is also very funny. My bridesmaids and I laughed so much that we had to check a few times to see if our make-up was still intact. Honestly, Eric and Alexis enhanced the specialness of my wedding day, and I never thought photo shoot could be that fun! All of our families and guests also very much enjoyed taking pictures with Eric. At the end of the day, I was exhausted, of course, but Eric and Alexis kept going, firing away. I don't know how they were able to keep up their energy level... They worked tirelessly all day, yet kept going till the end.

When I received the pictures, I couldn't believe how beautiful they were. Eric made me look really beautiful. I know I had my hair and make-up done which certainly enhanced and beautified me, but he gave us a lot of good suggestions on how to stand, where to place our hands, where to look, reminded us to keep good posture; so it wasn't just a snap shot of us standing. All of his suggestions turned out to be fabulous, and Eric paid great attention to every detail. End result is artistic and fantastic photographs we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We ABSOLUTELY love the photos and enjoyed the experience with Eric Powell Photography. Eric is not only very professional and talented, but also very thoughtful and helpful. In short, I would recommend Eric Powell Photography to anyone who is looking for a sophisticated level of photography and a talented photographer who possesses great deal of wisdom and who really cares about the bride.
