About Erik Anderson - Photography
Erik Anderson - Photography
I grew my business after a desperate venture as a newspaper photographer over six years living with student loan debt in my father's basement. But, that soon changed... And in 2014 I had the opportunity to work with some of the best wedding photographers in the state line as a second photographer having 20 weddings that first year. It was brand new to me, it stirred a passion, and I realized I wanted to do this for a living. I found my calling, but that first year was rough, until...
In the early days, from 2009 to 2014, I was a freelance photojournalist for 12 separate newspapers. My job was to document up to six stories a day and tell a story using only photos, with some events lasting only ten minutes. Because of this high-pressure field, I was able to document dramatic, short stories in photo form by gaining the trust of the people I photographed. Being able to tell a story in photos is difficult when your job is ever-changing, but when I photographed my first wedding, everything made sense, and I fell in love.

Bride
The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Wedding - Bride
From the moment my husband and I first spoke with Erik Anderson, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding day. Erik's communication style was professional, quick, and proficient, always making us feel respected and at ease. The quality of his work is truly amazing - the photos are clean, crisp, and incredibly creative, capturing the beauty of our special day in a way that exceeds our wildest expectations!! Erik went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. He helped me feel relaxed about the timeline, made me feel beautiful, and assured me that he and the vendors would handle all the details so I didn't have to worry. Erik even had one of his talented teammates join us (even though I did not pay to have a second photographer), and they were both incredibly helpful - carrying my dress train, assisting with poses, and making the photo process quick and efficient. Erik's fun, easygoing personality made it a joy to work with him, and we were thrilled to get our stunning photos back so quickly. We are blown away by the results of our photos and we will definitely going to be reaching out to him in the future! Overall, we couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and stunning results from Erik Anderson - Photography.

He was easy to work with, a great communicator, and worked seamlessly with us, the couple, and vendors to capture every special moment. I would highly recommend Erik to any couple looking for a talented and personable wedding photographer!
Amazing!!
While Erik Anderson - Photography has a light and airy aesthetic that beautifully captured our wedding day, their delayed response time was a bit frustrating during the planning process. However, on the day of, Erik brought so much joy and energy that helped make our celebration even more special. He expertly documented all the big moments as well as the small details that we will cherish forever. We are so thankful to have these stunning photographs to relive our wedding day. We highly recommend Erik Anderson - Photography - we couldn't have hired anyone better for our special day.
