I have worked with Erik on multiple events and had great experiences each time. He arrives on time and ready to go and is very unobtrusive outside of gathering your friends or network together for fun shots. His relaxed vibe assured me that he could interact with my guests as necessary and make everyone feel comfortable. If you're looking for someone to make your creative dreams come true, look no further. Erik's background in sports journalism photography prepared him to go outside the basic to find fantastic shots.

Erik is undeniably the most wonderful photographer to work with on your wedding day. He has an eye for capturing moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, and managed to make our entire day even more magical. Not to mention that he was fun, friendly and patient with us and our guests!

Jake + Chris

We LOVED working with Erik! Not only are his photos absolutely beautiful, but he is a kind, professional, easy-to-work with person who put as at ease the entire day of the wedding. We adore every single shot he took; his photojournalistic background is definitely apparent, but he has a spectacular artistic touch to everything, as well. We could not be happier with our wedding photos and our experience with Erik. HIGHLY recommend

Kathleen + Steve

Erik and Randall photographed our June 2016 wedding and they were superb! Their professionalism and engaging personalities certainly put us at ease especially since we are not used to getting professional pictures taken. Erik's photojournalism background presents you with a cinematic style that is unique and authentic. He captures your day and makes sure to please his customers by asking the right questions and making it easy so you know you can rely on his expertise. I would recommend Erik and Randall to anyone looking for quality work with timeless results. We are so thankful we found him!

Roslyn + Ed

Erik drove an hour to meet with us after our initial phone consultation, then he drove two hours to scout the site for our engagement/family photos and another two hours to actually shoot the engagement and wedding. Erik was highly referred to us and before we even took any photos I knew why. Erik takes the photo that you don't even know you want...example on our wedding day we have the same old posey photos that everybody has but with Erik's style we have photos that are not "basic" like one with my four year old daughter looking back down the long corridor or my son chasing my daughter in their wedding gear and the smiles that go along with that chase...photos of belly laugh after belly laugh. I am so thankful to Erik for making the process easy, fun and not in anyway average.

Shelly + Kelley

Erik is such a wonderful and creative photographer and an all around consummate professional. His kind heart, passion and enthusiasm towards us and the importance of our wedding day made working with him a pleasure. He has a intuitive eye for capturing special moments in brilliant ways. He had undying energy and stamina to spend the whole day and night with us starting at our home, hopping onto a limo bus that shuttled us to our wedding ceremony in the mountains and then, continued to be with us in Denver for our ceremony. We are so blessed to have connected with him and consider him a friend

Who's This Funky Dude

This is such a cliché origin story. I wish I could say a radioactive spider dropped onto my hand and poof, but we all come by our superpowers and passions in different ways. It happened to me in a dark room in high school. I watched one of my very own photographs slowly develop in a tray. I had been an aspiring artist, but I had no idea what medium I wanted to pursue. The moment before that picture developed, I was a tattoo artist.

Fast forward through 25 exciting years of photojournalism across Michigan—I’ve seen it all! From the rise of Grand Rapids to the fall of Flint’s auto industry, and even developed a soft spot for NASCAR in Jackson. My journey then took me to open my first studio in the vibrant mile-high city of Denver, before I boomeranged back to Michigan to launch a new studio.

Now, I pour my passion for storytelling into headshots, business portraits, editorial fashion, and high school senior photos in the greater Grand Rapids area.
