Vail is AMAZiNG! Erik and Ali are laid back but professional and have fun with their clients. When Erik wasn't happy that the weather was uncooperative at our first engagement session, he offered to do another one that turned out amazing. We really, really could not recommend a better photographer for our special day.

I've known Ali since high school, but we lost touch for a long while. When we found each other on FB, I got to see the work that her and her husband Erik did. I loved their work right away and decided that when I got married, they would be the ones to photograph it.

When that day finally came, I was so excited! We got married in Florida and Erik and Ali were excited to be apart of our destination wedding. My husband does not like getting his picture taken, but Erik made him feel comfortable and at ease. We had a lot of fun spending the afternoon together getting some great shots and enjoying the warm weather. Erik and Ali hung out with all of our friends and made the weekend that much more enjoyable.

I could not wait to see the finished results! Erik surprised me with the slideshow and I was beyond thrilled with the finished results! Still today, I will log onto their site and watch the slide show. :)

Erik and Ali also photographed my son's senior pictures (equally amazing!) and we look forward to our family pictures once the weather is nicer. I would highly recommend Vail Studio to anyone for any photography needs. The memories that you get from pictures are priceless in my book.

Thank you again Erik & Ali for all the wonderful memories!

I wasn't sure what to expect when looking for a photographer or even hiring one for our wedding. It was overwhelming at wedding shows with all the choices but when I came across the quality of work that Erik Vail produces - I knew that's exactly what I wanted for my wedding. I was engaged for almost a year and a half and Erik & I stayed in constant contact about engagement photo shoots, changes to wedding day and time, package details, etc. Erik & his wife Ali made us feel comfortable, we were able to be ourselves and in the end we have amazing pictures to remember our special day. Their level of professionalism and service is rare to find and everything to hope for.

Truly cannot put into words what Vail Studio added to our engagement and wedding experience! There are a handful of things I'd do differently if we could do it all over again (if it were up to me, we'd renew our vows and plan another party every year), but the first thing I'd do is call Erik or Ali and find out what weekends they're free! Sixteen months later I still can't think of anything I wish they'd done differently!
Simply put: they are amazing!!

Erik and Ali were the best!!! Our experience with the Vails was perfect, from the first day we met them to the day when we received the email that our pictures were ready to see. They bring a fun and unique approach to the whole wedding photography thing and we have since recommended them to numerous other couples getting married. I can promise you with absolute certainty that if you go with Erik and Ali you will be 100% happy with the process and the product.

I met Erik and Ali at my best friend's wedding the summer before I got married. They were both very cool people and easy to be around. When I saw the pictures they took of my friend's wedding, I had to have Vail Studio photograph my wedding. The pictures were beautiful!

Working with Erik and Ali during our wedding planning process was so stress free. They were the most organized vendor we worked with. Im so happy we met Erik and Ali and they were able to help us remember our wedding with stunning photographs. And honestly, they are just fun to be around!

Erik and Ali are a dynamite team! Great balance between them both and excellent teamwork! I chose Erik for our wedding because I was drawn to his colorful photographs and the ability to take normal pictures and make them fabulous based on his skills. In a time where there are a lot of photographers, Erik has a uniqueness that separates him from the others.

Vendor recommendation from Annemarie Juhlian, Wedding Officiant & Non-Denominational...

Each year as an Officiant, I see hundreds of wedding photos. Yet, I must say that there is one certain image taken by Vail Studio from a wedding a bit ago at The Willows Lodge taken immediately after "I do" that is on my bulletin board - just love it! Vail Studio - superb, attentive, gracious and super talented.
