Eric A. Wessman - Photographer

ROBIN'S STORY...FROM ONE BRIDE TO ANOTHER

Hello-

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I wish you and your husband all the best.

I must tell you that I was really really thrilled with Eric on a lot of levels. I'll just list some random thoughts and hopefully one or more will resonate with you depending on what you're searching for.

- both my husband and I are very type A personalities so it was important to us to have someone we could have confidence in b/c we wanted to enjoy our wedding day and not deal with ANYTHING...so we specifically picked someone who listens, tends to detail, is clearly a perfectionist and knows what they're doing. Eric does such beautiful work and I noticed his broad range of photostyles - so I knew he was going to take an artful and high quality approach and we would not have to worry at all that day.

- style: we had a lot of family dynamics and both had been to affairs where either the photographer was bossy and ran the day or worse the photographer was run over by the caterer and didn't get to do their work.
Eric was extremely sen-

sitive yet direct and clearly had wonderful working relationships with the caterer; florist; band etc. Plus, our friends and families loved him. I was shocked he got so many photos b/c I did not see him at all after the formal photos!! He really is understated elegance.

- pricing: I looked at about 6 photographers and he was the second most expensive - but I really felt we got exactly what we were looking for and there were no hidden costs.

- album: he works with you to turn these around fast...we had our album and our parents albums within 4 months plus we got the negatives!

One piece of advice: be really organized with the list of formal photos - Eric warned me that I had too many and that our families weren't paying attention and he was right.

If you go with Eric - listen to his advice - he knows what he's talking about. It was really my biggest mistake re: photos.

Overall, I felt he worked with us every step of the way, in a caring and thoughtful manner and his work was absolutely lovely.

Hope this helps - please feel free to call/email with any other questions.
Best of luck to you both.
