elee Photography

our engagement shoot. Then, on our wedding day, he performed way beyond what we expected. We had a huge Indian/Puerto Rican wedding and he was there for every single moment! He did not miss a beat! He got us hundreds and hundreds of amazing photos and captured every emotion! Not only that, but he was great with a huge wedding party, with us running late and with advocating for me: he was the only one to recognize my (the bride’s) needs, such as when I hadn’t eaten all day and was starving. He advocated for me and spoke with the planning team to try to get me food. He was also more than prepared to carry or adjust my veil and dress for photos and drive back and forth between locations. We also had a mini ice cream party with the bridesmaids the morning of the wedding and he was great at suggesting and capturing fun, silly moments with the girls. He was AMAZING at being spontaneous and getting quick moments: we had a war between the bridesmaids and groomsmen as per Indian tradition and had the groomsmen raid the bridesmaids room to find the groom's stolen shoes. Eric was quick enough to capture the spontaneous excitement for us to enjoy later on! He was also just so chill and easy going throughout the entire day despite it being super crazy! We were so blessed to have him. Thank you so much, Eric!

tures. He had natural ease about him that put us equally at ease. He directed our movements with patience. He took us to many unique locations I would not have considered as an ideal photo spot, but every single one was incredible. My pictures came back incredibly fast. No matter what the occasion, next time I want professional pictures, I am absolutely calling on Eric again.

the candid shots but also guided us to take several posed photos that look natural. This was exactly what I wanted. He came highly recommended by a friend that used him for her engagement shoot. I checked his website and loved his photojournalist style. I feel lucky to have had Eric as I booked with him on short notice, after another photographer canceled on me last minute. I was going to reschedule my proposal until Eric convinced me that he could be ready in only a few hours. He arrived early, was extremely communicative, and even helped when the singer I hired was running late. I cannot recommend Elee Photography enough. A-MAZ-ING.

l in the decision process. Eric was never pushy and once we did decide to go with him he stayed in touch. We had a great engagement shoot which Eric was sure to make us feel comfortable for as we both are not used to the camera. As for the wedding I wanted to go with someone who would capture the moments and not have us do a ton of posed shots, although I know those are important. Eric absolutely delivered on this and I can't help but look back and be so thankful that he and his team caught everything I felt that happened that day. We are so happy we went with Eric for our wedding. He and his team were so wonderful to work.

are unique. Not only did Eric meet with me before my wedding to help me understand my vision, he also toured my venue so he and his team can work efficiently and get the best photos on our big day. Overall, we appreciate Eric's artistic vision, cultural sensitivity, and flexibility throughout the process and highly recommend him to others for their special occasions.

os. With the ceremony and reception, he captured to essence of our parties excitement and fun in an incredible way!

gs super easy for us, even in the hustle and bustle of the event he captured all of the important moments without taking us away from our friends and family. He gave amazing direction, working efficiently to make sure that not only was each moment captured but that the picture of that moment was great. He was very responsive to all our questions and even had a lot of good suggestions. He has a great eye and his artistic nature shines through in a way that will make your event extra special. Thank you for everything Eric!

rtfolio speaks for itself). Unfortunately, our wedding plans fell apart because of COVID-19, but Eric was super flexible and accommodating - he agreed to photograph our elopement ceremony as we postponed the celebration with friends and family till later. Eric was super easy going and both my husband and I felt at ease right away with being photographed by him. We had ceremony in the park and Eric had great ideas and suggestions for shots, which turned out so so beautiful! He knows how to work well with natural light. He made our day special and created beautiful memories, especially as we could not have a planned celebration. Highly recommend!

would definitely recommend elee photography! :)

but opted for Eric because the quality of his photos just seemed like they were a clear notch above the competition (I think he also gave us a small discount). We were not at all disappointed, and ended up with an amazing collection of photos to remember the wedding day by. We were particularly impressed by how vibrant the colors were, how clear and vivid the images were, and just how well all the most important moments of the wedding were captured. I'd say we were a bit unsure of what to expect going in to the wedding day because we never were able to meet Eric in person and hadn't had a ton of communication about how things were going to go, but when Eric and his assistant Hue showed up they were easy to work with , very professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. Throughout the event they did a really nice job of letting us enjoy ourselves while they documented it all, but they also occasionally volunteered ideas for good photos or poses that we were really glad we did after the fact. When they did suggest a shot they could set up, it was quick and efficient, and didn't detracted from our ability to enjoy the wedding at all. Not sure what else to say other than everyone who has seen our photos has been extremely impressed by their quality. If Eric is within your budget or even just a bit beyond like he was for us, I think you will be extremely happy with the experience and the final product. A big thank you to Eric and Hue for capturing our wedding day so wonderfully!

d patient. He was very accommodating throughout the entire process (we had a few last minute reschedules due to health reasons) all the while remaining thoughtful and professional. He is great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and takes the time to carefully craft each pose/scene to ensure he gets the best shot possible. Unfortunately, it was raining during our first look, but that did not stop Eric and his assistant one bit. They stood outside without any rain gear and managed to get some of my favorite photos of the entire day. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing and talented photographer to capture our wedding day and will cherish the photos for years to come. Thank you, Eric, for everything!

and and I met with Eric the week before the wedding and went over schedule and preferred photos. He was very knowledgeable about what works and what didn’t and had great recommendations for the agenda and our photo wish list. On the day of, Eric (joined by his second photographer Hue) was fantastic! He captured so many special moments but was not invasive in trying to choreograph the day like many other photographers. He managed by huge family and very long list of family photos with grace, not rushing us through but letting us enjoy every moment. Every time I show anyone photos from the wedding, they comment how talented my photographer was. And he is! Lastly, Eric recommended a videographer which we ended up booking as well (Valley Park Media), and the two of them worked wonderfully together – combining efforts so that we didn’t need to do multiple poses or takes for the same photo. I highly recommend Eric as you will not only be working with an extremely talented photographer, but also a lovely and genuine individual who will beautifully capture your special day.

t look and then took a mix of photos we requested/photo ops he recommended. Second, he was very respectful of all of the photography rules outlined by the church and still managed to get amazing photos. Third, he was familiar with our reception location and knew all of these nearby, amazing photo ops. He had lots of great ideas for couple pictures (we weren't sure what to do!) and really made the most of that 1 hour we had between the church and reception. He got lots of great candid photos as well. Finally, he sent me a photo THAT EVENING (unheard of according to my friends) over text and then some of his favorites THE NEXT DAY! I had a girlfriend wait through weeks of radio silence before getting anything back, so I really appreciate his quick turnaround. He actually sent us all 1000+ photos by the end of the following week, which was just awesome. My friends and family all think they look magazine worthy, and I'd agree! Eric really captured our day in the most beautiful way. Book him - you won't regret it. **Tip: Be sure to tell him what photos you want b/c there are a million things to capture and it's helpful to know if you want a certain shot so you can tell him ahead of time (e.g. back of your dress, pics with certain people, your bouquet, etc.). Eric got everything I requested but I forgot to explicitly ask for a closeup of the back of my dress and its blingy detail, so I had to put it back on and take on afterwards. Oh well - it was fun to put it on again :)

tographer I wanted to hire, but also was somewhat limited on budget. This was the perfect mix of affordable and true talent. He definitely has the photo journalism eye that I wanted in my photos. Each photo tells a great story. My only regret it not also hiring whatever videographer he works with. I tried to do some DIY stuff for that and it's 4 months after my wedding and I'm still editing the video. Definitely hire Eric for your wedding. He's friendly and talented.

me of the moments in-between. He incorporated the shots we wanted and added a whole lot more. On the wedding day, he did all the portrait shots effectively and efficiently, and had fantastic ideas on how to capture some of the quieter moments. The photos we received were beautiful and wonderfully taken - ones that we'll use for years to remember our special day.

k with and instantly made everyone feel comfortable. Eric was also super responsive throughout the entire process and made sure that we were on the same page leading up to the wedding.

that I wanted him to shoot our wedding. Eric is courteous, very professional and punctual. The photographs from the wedding are simply beautiful. He included both color and black and white shots. I can not find words that can express how I felt when I saw the pictures. They looked like something out of a magazine. Simply amazing. There is just no way of explaining the emotions I felt when I saw them. Every time I see the pictures, they take me back to that amazing day. Eric has an amazing talent and I can't thank him enough for being part of such an important day for me.

ity and the reason is that you are looking at photography as art .

sy. I would recommend his photography services to anyone looking for fantastic, tasteful, and artistic photos at their event.

up where he needed to be on time and ready to go. We just got our photos back and they look amazing! He takes great candid, emotional shots. The editing is on point, and we really appreciate that he provided us with every picture taken on the wedding day. Thanks to Eric, we have beautiful photos that truly capture the emotion and joy of our wedding day!

ily and friends, and really epic shots that I know we will have forever, I cannot say enough great things about the photos. Eric was also extremely easy to work with and very professional and nice for our entire wedding.

every photo he snaps. He was such a pleasure to work with, kind as they come, and kept everyone on schedule (he seriously saved our wedding by reminding the scattered brain bridal party it was time to leave for the church). From the engagement shoot to the wedding day, we couldn’t have picked a better photographer and person to work with. Brides, you NEED to book Eric, I promise you won’t be disappointed! We love you Eric!

ilable or 2 even remotely in my price range!" I messaged him any way, really just to compliment his work, but I figured I'd ask about his prices anyway. They were fair and we were able to meet and hit it off immediately! Seriously, Eric was the one MOST helpful vendor we had (he was a better wedding planner than the one we hired and fired). Not only did he have great suggestions, but he was so responsive and makes you feel like your the only couple he is working with. This is amazing because not only is he super busy as a photographer, but does a LOT of traveling and volunteer work. He also helped us with all the little things I didn't even think about. Through out this process, he was more than a wedding photographer, he became apart of our family. He is one of the kindest, sweetest. most thoughtful people and I would give him an 11/5 if I could! We love you Eric, Thank you so much for everything and we can't want too see the final final products. ( i forgot to mention that he also did our engagement photos and OMG they came out amazing!)

to capture the emotions of the day. We were thrilled with our pictures. He was also very responsive and communicative which made working with him stress-free. We highly recommend him for your wedding!

listen to Michelle and I and try new shots made our experience top notch! I would HIGHLY recommend Eric for any event you would like captured in the best way!

and professional. Eric is easily accessible and responds quickly to emails. His prices are reasonable, especially considering his high quality work and skill. He is very easy to work with and gives you great pointers and directions while shooting (which is nice if you are kind of awkward like me!). He is exceptionally artistic and has great vision, which clearly comes through in all of his photos. He is open to any and all of your thoughts and suggestions, he truly wants to capture YOU. Hue, an associate photographer, was also just as amazing. Knowing they both had the skills and experience to manage and capture the chaos of weddings gave us peace of mind during the day of - which makes your day just that much better and worry free. We could not be happier with all of our photos from our engagement session as well as wedding day - they are just friggin' awesome. We have gotten endless compliments on how wonderful they are. We will absolutely hire Eric for future events and strongly recommend him to capture your big day!

promptu photographs of us and our parents (my mom listening to speeches, my dad and I looking at each other during our first dance). Rather than simply capturing portraits, he captured moments that will make it possible for us to always remember how happy we felt on that day. In addition to being incredibly talented, Eric was a calming presence throughout our wedding day (we were fretting over the rain with an outdoor ceremony). We stole away a few times to take pictures with him just so we could get away from other people asking us about various details and decisions. We highly recommend Eric.

ng the cold, enthusiastic and engaged. For a few hours, we walked all over Georgetown, and Eric worked his magic. The photos from that day turned out marvelous - they rank among the best ones anyone has ever taken of me and my (now) wife. We chose Eric to be our wedding photographer because we had seen parts of his portfolio and we loved his style. We loved his ability to capture the magic of spontaneous moments. We don’t like posing. We like to be in the moment, as it happens. A genuine smile, a twinkle of the eye - Eric sees it, and he captures it. To be able to do that is true art. Eric may be a little quiet, but don’t be fooled. This is a man of many talents, with more than a handful of interesting stories to tell. Ask him about that one time he hand-wrote a letter to Warren Buffett and got invited to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. Or ask him about his travels, or the many humanitarian initiatives he is involved in. Eric captures stories, while living many amazing ones himself. We were very honored that Eric took the time to shoot our wedding. He has an amazing eye for detail and manages to strike that subtle balance between giving clear instructions when needed and floating in the background, always present but seemingly invisible. A great photographer manages to capture moments during which you weren’t even aware that he was present - it’s almost like a skillful dance, never imposing, but always there in the moment. Eric is a total pro, and it shows in the amazing pictures that we were able to get a sneak peak of. To anyone who is interested in hiring Eric as a photographer, be it for a wedding or any other occasion, I can wholeheartedly recommend him. Eric is efficient, friendly, extremely talented, reliable and just a good person all around. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding.

Eric and see his high-quality work. Our day of the shoot was one of the coldest days in DC this winter, but he still took us around Georgetown and produced beautiful, high-quality photos. At our wedding, our guests kept commenting on how great our photographer was. He seemed to be ten places at once making sure to capture the shot. We have not yet received our full photos back but were sent a preview and I am over the moon with how well they turned out and how he captured the emotion and moment. I also really appreciated that he was in tune to what we wanted. Ahead of time we sent many examples of photo styles we like and don't like, and he took the time to look at the examples to make sure he provided us with photos we will cherish. I would recommend hiring Eric for your big day, you won't regret it!

sure we were on the same page and took the time to familiarize himself with our vendors in order to work well together. On the day of, he was just lovely. He really did a great job at being seen when needed but blended into the background and captured everything without bringing attention to himself. He made a point of getting us our photos right on our one monthiversary which was such a lovely surprise (and so quick compared to my friends weddings!) and we couldn't be happier with the final photos. We have tons to pick from when it comes to formal shots and the candid shots were so fun to flip through. All in all, highly recommend Eric.

took the lead and told us exactly what to do. Furthermore he was flexible and communicative and helped make a potentially stressful event much easier. We highly recommend Eric's services and will likely request him again in the future for non-wedding occasions.

met him we knew he would be perfect for us. He was organized, responsive, kind and thoughtful. He asked us what our needs were and made sure that they were met. Both my husband and I do not take many pictures and are camera shy but he worked with us, helped make us feel comfortable and we ended up with the most beautiful pictures. On the wedding day he was a calming presence that made everyone feel happy and comfortable. He managed to catch all of the moments but he was never in the way. He had a great eye for creating unique pictures and utilized the lighting to make the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. His kindness and compassion shows not only in his photography but also his humanitarian work. Even after the wedding he remained responsive and helpful and his caring and considerate personality was reflected in the surprise we received along with our USB (which we will cherish forever). We had a wonderful experience and strongly recommend Eric as your photographer.

ustomer service. Although we were last minute with booking he created a payment plan that was easy to follow. Whether its through email or telephone we had a clear line of communication! Very easy going, funny, and attentive to detail. We honestly laughed the whole time. So happy with my finish product!!

don’t especially like posed shots, and Eric did a great job of capturing us in candid moments that expressed our joy on our wedding day. He efficiently got all of the family shots that we wanted and left us some time to enjoy our cocktail hour! He did not rush us and was an unobtrusive presence throughout the day, while still documenting everything that we wanted, from the bridal preparation to the send off at the end of the evening. We highly recommend his services.

the day came Eric was able to snap great shots of my fiancée and I walking to “the spot”, as well as amazing photos when I dropped to one knee. We were blown away when we saw his work.

nd his motivations for getting into photography. He truly loves photography and has a gift for telling stories through his work. We wanted real, candid photos and Eric's documentary style was perfect. He was willing to work with our budget and checked in often throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Eric kept us on schedule and maximized his time with us. He delivered our photos within a reasonable time frame (4-6 wks) - really glad he was part of our special day!

r special day. He has a great sense of humor, is professional, and is amazing at his craft. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL. We were extremely satisfied with Eric and would suggest him to anyone who asks!

strated patience throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, our wedding party was a little hectic, but he remained calm and worked with us and made sure to capture all the shots we wanted. It also rained, but that did stop him from getting a little wet to get the perfect shots. We just got our sneak peeks and absolutely love them and can't wait to see the rest. We would definitely recommend his work and are positive he would do an excellent job. Thanks again Eric! - Jacqui & Trey

of humor. Our photos will last a life time and Eric was able to capture the beginning of a our adventure together which we will cherish forever. Not only did he capture our love story, but the work of art portrayed in the photos are absolutley spectacular. My fiancé and I highly recommend Eric for any of your photography needs!

in DC for our engagement session, we knew we'd be in fantastic hands. He took two introverted folks who don't pose much for the camera, guided us through every step of the way, and delivered absolutely amazing shots. His relaxed style made us feel completely at ease, and when we actually saw the photos, we were blown away by his eye for detail and beauty. He's GOOD. He truly knows how to capture the joy, human element, and intricacy of a moment. We found the same experience to be true for our wedding photos. Unlike other photographers who get in your face or shove a big black hunk of equipment into what what have been a beautiful moment, he works in the background and uses his camera to its best advantage - without destroying the ambiance. Or, he directs you into creating moments that are actually meaningful and loving for you as a couple, and captures it without reminding you that he's there. We deeply appreciated this approach. When we received our first preview of the photos that he'd taken, I was moved to tears. He captured the most important, precious moments of our wedding and worked some kind of magic to make us look like rock stars! (And this is said by someone who typically *hates* seeing photos of herself!) He was a blast to work with, and everyone in our bridal party had high praise for his guidance, his friendly and relaxed approach (which made us all feel so much more at ease!), and his great professionalism. Beyond the experience that we had with Eric (which is reason enough to book him as soon as you possibly can), his photography skills are second to none. From the second we saw his portfolio, we knew that we wanted to book him, and we are so incredibly pleased, relieved, and grateful that he was a part of wedding day! I cannot sing his praises enough! He is fantastic.

ans you've had years to gather lots of important friends and family--and we wanted to make sure we captured our time with them in photos. Eric's work suited our goals perfectly. His brilliant candids, uncovering precious moments in time, is what drew us to his work. His kindness and compassion were what made him a great partner to work with us and our 150 family and friends. We highly respect and appreciate his talent and time through our engagement shoot and wedding. I look forward to working with him again on future assignments (as a graphic designer, I would hire him in a heartbeat). Thank you SO much for the gift of your creativity, Eric!

r love and the amazing venue. I felt very lucky to have Eric as our photographer!

ple, but yet spectacular. I would definitely recommend him for all photography needs!
