Eric Powell Photography

we had the pleasure of having Eric Powell for our wedding.He is a great photographer and our pics turn out great.we were very happy with him and looking forward to work with him in the future :)

Working with Eric was as good as it gets. From the start, he was cool, calm, and collected. He never pressured when we were talking contract and he helped us find the right package for us and our family.

At our engagement shoot, his easy demeanor took over, completely relaxing my camera-shy husband.

The pictures of the wedding, though. Wow. They completely blew our mind. The colors and the emotions that were captured were just amazing. We knew that the pictures in his portfolio were wonderful and we were thrilled when ours came out just as good.

The whole wedding day flowed easily in Eric's nimble hands. He directed, without being obvious, and listened to our direction when we had it. He was great with the guests, making sure everyone got the pictures taken that they wanted. He helped us create and memorialize all the thoughts and feelings of the day.

When it came time to put together the album, he guided us, helped us pick pictures, and did a fantastic job designing the album.

We couldn't be happier with Eric and his work. I've recommended him to three friends and three friends have signed him up, and been thrilled with the results as well.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Eric Powell as our photographer. I cannot say enough about how amazing he is. Great eye, decisive, artistic, simply wonderful; all of these qualities are reflected in his work. My husband and I recommend him in a heart beat .

I love Eric Powell and his photography. His assistant Alexis is wonderful too. Eric was recommended to me through my coworker (who also hired him for her wedding). Eric was the 2nd photographer that I interviewed. I booked him on the spot and cancelled all my other photographer appointments. Eric often sees his clients at other weddings because his clients are always recommending him to their friends and coworkers!

Eric told me from the start that he'd take good care of me and he certainly did. He is funny and charming and kept me laughing on the most nerve-wracking day of my life. He even got my stoic-looking parents (who NEVER smile in photos) to laugh and smile for the family pictures too.

When I first saw my wedding pictures, I totally cried because they were so magical and beautiful. As another reviewer mentioned - they seriously looked like they came straight out of a magazine. Eric and Alexis capture every emotion and detail of your wedding day from every angle and in the most beautiful light.

Brides, please take great care in selecting your photographer - it's one of the most important vendors for your wedding. You don't want your bride & groom portraits to look like posed prom pictures! Find someone that you trust and whose work you absolutely adore. It's well worth the effort and investment.

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.

There were few things extremely important to us at our wedding; one of them was photography. We wanted to choose someone, who can best capture our special day, so looking back each and every one of these pictures would trigger the most beautiful memories from our wedding day. After a period of looking around, we narrowed down our search to two photographers; we chose Eric Powell. Eric had these key ingredients that we were looking for-sophistication, style, elegance and charisma. We not only fell in love with his photography, but with his persona as well. During our initial meeting, Eric made us very comfortable. He walked us through all the details; gave us a very good feel about himself and his work. Throughout our meeting, we never felt forced into making our decision about hiring him. Now looking back, we can easily say that he was one of the few vendors we dealt with that cared more about being a part of our day than money. It meant a lot to us! He was very friendly and understanding in regards to our feelings and potential stress we might have felt. We knew right away that he was the one. All through the preparation time, Eric helped us with choosing other vendors (he recommended Walter Pawluk our videographer and another fabulous individual), made our beautiful guest book (a very special memory from our wedding), and most importantly kept us calm. On our wedding day, we were excited and happy to have Eric and Alexa (Eric's assistant). We had absolutely no worries. Eric called me the day before and reassured me that everything would be great and we would have a good time. And he was right; we had a great time! It was quite an experience and we enjoyed every minute of it! Eric made it fun and very enjoyable for all involved in the photo shoot. You would never feel unnatural posing for him; that?s why his pictures feel so real and captivating. Eric himself has a lot of charisma and passion, which are clearly seen in his photography. Eric does ART! To all of you, who are planning a wedding, I can tell you one thing for sure: Hire good vendors, who you like working with and who will worry for you, and you are guaranteed to have fun on your wedding day! Eric is definitely one of them! He is not only an extraordinary photographer, but a good friend in the process! We want him to always be a part of the special moments in our lives.

Eric Powell is an amazing talent, and we highly recommend him. Like many of his clients, I too was introduced to Eric Powell Photography through a couple of my best friends who hired Eric as their wedding photographer. Seeing him in action, my fiance (at the time) and I knew that we would want him for our wedding. We are so lucky!

From beginning to the end, not only he delivered but also exceeded our expectations. We are very impressed with his work, as much as we are with his professionalism and kindness. He greatly assisted & guided us through the whole process starting with our engagement shoot all the way through the end of reception, and furthermore through choosing our album.

Our sincerest kudos and thanks to Eric Powell and his assistant for giving us the best of the best. We wholeheartedly recommend Eric Powell Photography. You won't regret it.

My husband and I are shocked that Eric got a negative review!!! Our experience with him has been nothing but positive. Our photos have turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier! He was also referred to us by a friend, who was thrilled with his wedding photos. I have referred many of my friends to Eric and will continue to do so in the future.

A couple of years ago, 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.

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.

Eric Powell is as creative, professional, and as hard-working as photographers come. I was extraordinarily happy with the work he and his assistant did for us. Any bride would be lucky to have him as her wedding photographer.

Eric was recommended to us by a family friend who hired him as their photographer for three of their children's weddings. He shot my wedding in December 2007 at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church and the Beverly Hills Hotel. He also shot our engagement photos about three months before our wedding. We knew then that he would be easy to work with, and our photos would be exactly what we wanted- classy, creative, and top quality.

At our wedding, we was by my side the entire day making sure to capture each special moment without being obnoxious or interrupting the flow of our day with friends and family around. He had a great sense of humor during tense moments which eased my stress, and knew when to be more serious during our long ceremony of a traditional Catholic Mass. He stayed late until the night's end making sure to get all those fun dance shots of our friends letting loose on the dance floor. I felt like he was by our side more than anyone else that day!

When we got the pictures, we were more than satisfied with his work. We had more than enough photos to choose from when creating our wedding album. In fact, we really had to narrow it down and had a hard time setting aside some of the photos that we really liked but knew we couldn't include all of them in our album due to capacity! Many of our family members liked his photos so much that they even ordered many for themselves.

Eric will always be our photographer of choice for life's milestones. We're expecting our first child now, and can't wait to have him shoot our little bundle of joy once he or she is born. We had a wonderful experience with Eric as our photographer, and have developed a friendship with him simply because he was professional, kind, respectful, and very easy to work with. We are lucky to have found him, and now, so are you.

We interviewed many wedding photographers before picking Eric Powell. So many photographers out there try to be so over-the-top that the photos lose their natural beauty. Eric Powell sets himself apart from those photographers by being a true artist while still capturing the natural simple elegance and beauty that flows from weddings. I looked more beautiful than I ever thought possible, and the angles, shadows, and subtle gestures he captured on film are absolute treasures. Every picture tells a story in an elegant, classic way. My wedding photos are so classic - they are timeless because of his incredible talent. Every family member has commented how beautiful everyone looks, how amazing the color is, how crisp the images are. We are more than thrilled, and the price was very reasonable, too. I will recommend Eric Powell to anyone who asks, and I'm hoping to use him to take baby pictures when we decide to grow our family. He is also a wonderful person - so kind and fun.

Eric and his assistant were amazing. My sister used Eric as her photographer for her wedding and we loved his work so much that I decided to use him for my wedding as well.
He has a great eye for detail and some of my photos look straight out of a Vogue magazine! I have so many great pictures to choose from that now I am having a problem on which photos to choose for my album!

Two years after my wedding, I still have friends and family telling me that my wedding photos and album are among the most beautiful they've ever seen. We chose Eric Powell to shoot our wedding because we wanted a photographer who could keep everyone loose and relaxed, and would capture OUR personality. My husband and I interviewed nearly a dozen photographers, and we chose him because each of his sample albums seemed to have a uniqueness to each couple, capturing really special and beautiful moments that did not look rigid or staged. We also found the technical aspects of Eric's photos to be excellent. The church where we had our ceremony has very low light, and the photos came out amazingly beautiful and romantic looking. Eric went above and beyond in terms of the photos he delivered AND he was fun and easy to work with.

When it came time to make our album, Eric didn't just pick all the photos like some photographers do. He took a great deal of time with us to help us select about 70 photos from the nearly 800 that he shot. He made us the most beautiful, high quality, traditional-style album that absolutely gives me goosebumps every time I look at it.

My husband and I feel so attached to Eric and pleased with his work that he has continued to be our go-to photographer and recently shot some gorgeous photos of our newborn!

Eric's photos of our wedding are gorgeous and very artful. We think our album is so amazing, especially for the price!

Eric was nothing but a gentleman, whose concern for what was best for us as a couple was obvious from the get-go. He knew what he was doing and the results were startling in their quality.

We can't say enough about Eric's professionalism, style and charming personality.

Just contact him and see for yourself. Once you see samples of his work and meet him, (and get a sense of his extremely reasonable prices!) you will be on the road to capturing your special day and turning it into a lasting work of art!

First off, I am a photographer and have my own business. Eric Powell trained me and I was his assistant and then associate for 10 years and have shot over 100 weddings with him. He not only taught me how to photograph people & weddings but by working with him, he taught me how to interact & connect with my bride & groom. He has an extraordinary ability to put a nervous bride gently at ease (I was one on my day!) or lighten the mood of a tense family with a joke. He is a valuable personality to have around on the wedding day when things can get intense!

His professionalism is unparalleled, and his artistic eye is exquisite. He can take any drab, dark hotel hallway and make a bride look like a fashion model! When he gets to work on the bride & groom's portraits, he works quickly & efficiently. Yet, when we got our photos back, we had so many different poses & settings from which to choose. We could not believe how many options we had for our album!

Once we got our proofs back and made our choices for him to retouch-- we could not believe the ART he made out of the portraits. They were beautiful, and I was so pleased. I would not have hired any one else to capture our wedding day.

Having worked with Eric for 10 years now, I can tell you ladies that he is the hardest working guy around. He spends more of his time working & creating art from the images he shoots than any one else out there. He really goes the extra mile to make everyone happy, and he does his best every time he shoots. He is constantly researching and learning new techniques to be on the cutting edge of his field of work and stays at his office well past normal working hours to perfect every album print and enlargement that is ordered.

I think he is absolutely hands down the very best photographer for weddings, from the initial meeting with him, to the wedding day, to the months after when you sit down with him to pick out your album photos, to the final, amazingly beautiful album at the end. Its a wonderfully pleasant and fun experience to work with him!

Eric was recommended by friends and photographed my wedding a few years ago. We chose the venue first and I was concerned because it was small and had limited options for where to shoot photos. Also, we had an evening ceremony, so lighting was an issue. Eric told me not to worry, he’d photographed many weddings in the same venue and knew exactly what could be accomplished.

When I got the proofs back I was astounded. They were romantic, dreamlike, magical - everything you would want the photos of your special day to be. Even the family shots were natural looking, not stiff and posed.

My other concern was the album. I’d looked at several belonging to friends and acquaintances to get ideas and I wasn’t impressed with any of them. They all seemed a little cheesy to me. I didn’t know precisely what I wanted, only what I didn’t want. Eric had great ideas for how to put an album together and helped me arrive at a more artful presentation that will remain timelessly beautiful.

I was so pleased by the whole experience that I continue to recommended Eric anytime anyone mentions wedding photos. He’s worked with several friends, all with positive reviews. Don’t hesitate to trust your day to this talented and capable vendor.
