Weddings, Events and You!
Located in Northwest Wisconsin, my goal is to capture your life, your adventures, your everything.
I primarily serve Western Wisconsin (Menomonie, Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, River Falls, Hudson) and the Twin Cities area but I am very much open to travel and capturing you in your favorite corner of the world. Now for the big question - why should you stick around, check out my work and hopefully add me to your 'short list' of photographers that you believe can truly capture you, your style and your life? How about three reasons? :)
- There's more to me than just Black & White and Sepia Tones
I honestly believe that one of the strongest qualities that sets my art apart from so many others out there is my prowess for creativity. Take a look at posts in my Wedding category to get a great idea of my shooting and artistic style.
- I'm professional but also FUN
My goal for every shoot I am on is that when it's done - I want to have captured all of the memories you were hoping for while having a good time getting there. My personality is laid back with a touch of quirky humor. Basically - I feel like I can get along with just about anyone and because of that - I can capture great images of you being you.
- I have a passionate dedication to your happiness
I am NOT one of those photographer's that is watching the clock and the second it strikes 'Contractual Time Over' bolts for the door. I believe that the really special events of our lives happen organically and can't be planned or timed. For that reason - sure - I have specific time periods of coverage agreed upon but if the vibe at the end of that time is showing promise - you can bet I'll be there to capture it. My goal, my job, is to capture you and your life. I will do everything in my power to do the best I can for you.
I invite you to read further. My posts aren't always about a specific event I covered or portrait I took but all of my posts exemplify who I am and the passion I have for capturing you!
Cheers! Erik

Laura + David | Menomonie Engagement Photography

Let me just start by saying – ‘Whoah!’ I started writing this post about a month ago (meaning I selected pictures, lol) and then basically forgot to finish it. It being the winter months for a wedding photographer such as myself, I managed to stay pretty busy. Granted there weren’t any weddings (oh Wisconsin and your bitterly cold winters), I was out and about taking pictures, meeting new people and trying to stay warm! Thankfully, Wisconsin appears to be finally …… scratch that. There is snow on the forecast for this evening. They are calling it a ‘Wintery Mix’. Bollox. :)

I have a number of new posts in the works so I will leave you to smile and feel warm inside while viewing engagement photos of the beautiful Laura and her Dave. We took photos in and around the Menomonie area including a few in the Mabel Tainter Theater. I have shot here before but it was years ago for the UW-Stout Apparel and Design Senior Silhouette Show (modeling photography). The staff was very friendly and had no objections to us just walking in and using their beautiful venue as our backdrop. The theater is very much active and provides a wonderful cultural experience in the Menomonie area. Check out their site and then grab some tickets to enjoy with loved ones. (Guys: Gals will LOVE this side of you).

Thank you Laura and Dave for a great shoot! Laura – the way you held onto your hat while embracing was simply adorable. I can’t wait to photograph you two tying the know this coming May. Yikes – That’s pretty soon!. :)

Share and enjoy!
