Web albums have become more and more popular over the recent years with the digital revolution and the popularity of things like Myspace, Facebook, etc.

I have finially found a web posting solution that I feel really shows off our images nicely. Our clients family and friends can also download the images themselves, and they can also order prints right through the website without having to bother the bride and groom.

Feel free to contact me for more information about the posting of your own wedding images. Pricing is available on my pricing list. Here are a few samples of current Albums I have up.

Full Day Wedding

Engagement Shoot

Talk to you soon!
Thanks,

Hello! I hope everyone is well. Sorry I havent posted about anything as of late, but it has just been a crazy fall! Within about 5 weeks, we did a wedding in Virginia, a wedding in Philly, a wedding in Pittsburgh, and a wedding In state college! I also did a few in the Erie area during those times.

I have done a good number of fall engagement shoots lately, and I wanted to show off some of the fun shots we got. So here goes nothing. Have fun!

Here's another photo from a recent wedding. Great colors in the sunset, and I love the peacefullness of the bride walking along the cliff. Talk to you soon!

Just wanted to drop in and make a quick post. Here is a classic style Black & White image from a great Erie Venue "The Warner"
Things are going great, and wedding season is still going strong. I think November is when the craziness starts to slow down for us. I am looking forward to finishing up the season with a bang in the next few months and then a well deserved rest will be needed!....but for now, more great images, and more fun weddings. See you soon. :0)

HI! Its been soooooooo long since I have been able to post. But the wait is over and I got some brand new images ready for you guys. We have had so many weddings in the past month that I cant even count them. I think I have had three weekends with 3 weddings each weekend and the other weekend we had only two weddings. Awesome!

September and October are going to be fun months. On top of the usual weekly wedding in the Erie Area I have 2 Philidelphia, 1 Pittsburgh, and 1 Richmond Virginia Wedding!! Its going to be crazy, but I am looking forward to getting out of Erie a little and checking out some new Venues.

On to this post...... I am putting my quick top 10 favorite images from this past month of weddings. I am sure I left some weddings out, and It was almost impossible to pick out only 10 considering I shoot something like 1700 images at each wedding....what is that like 18,000 images last month or something??? LOL! crazy.

With no further adieu........July & august Top Ten.

Hi again!...just me. I hope everyone is doing well. We had two great weddings this past weekend. We really lucked out with some nice weather for photos. We took almost 1800 images at each wedding sice there was just so many beautiful things to photograph.

I have attatched 2 images....one from each day. I attatched a cool reception hall shot since I dont usually post those kinds of images. So that will be nice for a change. And the other is a complete candid of the bride before she was about to walk down the isle....I dont think she even knew I took it. What a breath-taking image. Beautiful brides!

OK, I have to get back to editing images.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July....we will be at a wedding ;)

I just wanted to post a few shots real quick. We did a wedding up at Peek n Peak last Saturday(We're there again this upcoming Saturday actually) and I'm posting a few shots from throughout the day. I LOVE THEM! They have such a unique fine art quality to them that is beautiful and unexplainable in words. Photoraphs for me keep the memories of an event where the words and stories leave off...unforgettable & unexplainable moments in time...enjoy

Hey! Its been crazy busy around the studio here....sorry for not posting sooner. I think we've done something like 5 weddings in three weeks. Two Saturdays in a row....a Friday night wedding, and even a Thursday evening wedding at Chataqua Institution.

The good news is that I'm staying up quite well on production so far and all of the images are turning out just gorgeous!

I am featuring a slideshow of about 275 images this week. As far as I know these slideshows are working good on everyones computers, but drop me an email if they are not. There are 3 recent weddings featured in this new "webshow". There is a Mercyhurt chapel/campus ceremony...A Bel-Aire Reception...a Union station Reception....and an on location Riverside Inn Ceremony & Reception.

The images arent in any particular order, so be patient with the ordering please! Of course we shot many other images at each wedding...I just picked out a few of the ones that I thought were unique.

Ok...I gotta run. We are off to Peek n Peak today to shoot an on location Ceremony and reception.

I hope all of everyones summer wedding planning is going well!

Thanks!

HEY EVERYONE! Sorry its been so long since my last post. I've been busy with wedding season getting up to full speed. Me and my assistant katie have been outside of Erie the past two weekends shooting weddings. One was in Warren at the Conowanga(SP*)Valley golf club, and yesterdays was in Wattsburgh but the couple came back to the LP Golf Club for their reception.

Both events were wonderful and we got thousands of great shots. I am posting one or two of my favorite images from each. Unfortunately we got totally rained out yesterday for outdoor photos, but I convinced the couple to leave the reception for a few quick minutes once the rains let up to get a few shots out front of the Lawrence Park Club.



2 weddings next weekend...one Saturday and one Sunday. I'll post some unique shots if I get a chance. But for now back to editing wedding images on the laptop and watching the Sunday Indiana Jones trilogy on Sci Fi!

Enjoy,
Eric

We kicked off the wedding season with Megan & Adam's Spring wedding. What a blast I had at this one! They were a totally fun couple, and very open to taking lots of awesome photos throughout the day. The weather was a lil cold and snowy for on location photos, but we still got a few really cool shots outside the church.
The ceremony was in Harborcreek PA, and the Reception was at the Bel-Aire in Erie.
Awesome Bride and Groom.... Fun Day.... I'll let the images say the rest. THANKS!

Well its officially spring in Erie PA, but mother nature doesnt seem to think so...Its still snowing, lol. I'm ready for some warmer weather personally, but i guess i wouldnt have time to blog if I was out doing "warm weather things". lol.

Summer 09 bookings picked up a bunch in the past few weeks, which is a good thing. I think Ive met with something like 10 brides and grooms in the past 2 or 3 weeks to talk about their 2009 weddings. THANKS!

Anyways, this is my first attempt at posting a "webshow" of images....so we will see how this goes. These are some sample spreads of the storybook albums that I offer. Let me know what you think.

The first wedding of the year is this weekend, I'm real excited to get the season started, and I will post some of the images once i get a few retouched and ready.

HAVE FUN!, blog to you soon

Hey guys! Just a quick note to let everyone know that comments are finally up and running! Woo hoo! I worked pretty hard on getting this all setup, so do me a favor and leave me some feedback!! Make all the agony worth it! Kidding! But seriously, I'd love to hear any comments you have... the good, the bad, and... hopefully just the good. If anyone's got any questions about me or my photography, leave that too along with an email addy and I'll get back to you. I want to say thanks again to all my clients (and friends!) and I'm looking forward to the upcoming wedding season kicking off in 2 weeks (March 29th!).

Welcome everyone to the new website. I don’t know if any of you had viewed the previous site, but we’ve revamped our whole business identity and website in hopes to have a more structured and modern business. I am totally siked about how it all turned out. My photography and your wedding images have never looked better. It’s the little things like this that get me incredibly excited about this summers weddings to come.
Tony Oshlick was my head designer for getting this website project done. Hes a longtime friend of mine, and by far the best graphic designer I’ve seen. He said he would be more than happy to do save the date cards, programs, etc for brides. I have seen weddings in the past where the bride and groom have actually created there own custom logo and design scheme for everything in their wedding…..everything from their pre wedding hoodies, to programs, down to the napkins at the reception. True these were a lil higher price range weddings…but still a cool idea.
Last but not least on this first blog on the new site.. I just want to thank all of you, future and past clients, or just readers of my ramblings. Making beautiful images for you all means more to me than you can imagine. Its truly my life’s passion, and the “memories” I can give you through these images have become a huge part of my life and well-being. Thank You!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I do offer engagement photo sessions. I figured I would post a few on here since I don’t really advertise them anywhere else in my packages or websites. Engagement sessions are usually around $200 and you get all of your images on CD with that. You can put them up on your facebook or myspace and show everyone how cute you guys look together. HAHAHA joking!.....but seriously, you can!. They’re usually fun to shoot….I like to go on location, anywhere fun we can think of. Here are my 5 favorites from the past year or two.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to post about some of my new “toys” I got for weddings. We received the new Nikon D300 camera (its like Christmas all over again!), and also improved up to a new Nikon 18-200 VR zoom lens. I’m so excited to use these new items for your weddings. We should be able to get some pretty amazing results. Digital photography is amazing, and ever-changing. With the equipment available nowadays combined with the software….. we can produce visual memories that are just unbelievable. I’m not one to talk myself up often, but there are even times when I see something I’ve shot, and I am like “wow”, that’s pretty amazing. I’ve attached some images of the camera and lens that let me get my cool images.

Can you believe it! Were doing somewhere around 40 weddings again this summer. Im so blessed to be able to have such business stability. Thank You all! This season starts March-29th and is about totally full up through October. September and November still have a few weekends open….but I should probably think about blocking some of those out for sleep (ha). I will try to get some of my favorite shots up from each wedding for you guys, especially earlier in the season weddings.

I’m up at the Erie Panera (my usual blog spot).… between the website and retouching wedding images I swear this laptop never leaves my hands. LOL.
Some of you may know Katie Ayers…. She has assisted me at many of your weddings, she will be assisting me at more weddings this summer, and she is also starting to shoot her own weddings this summer. In prep for this she has done a few shoots of me with our new equipment. Check out some of her shots…. She got some really nice results.
