  • Welcome

    “I began my professional photography career shooting rock climbers scaling cliffs throughout the U.S. By combining my passion for adventure with my love of art and design, I very quickly became obsessed with creating images that were not only “pretty” but conveyed a sense of “being there” and of the emotions felt by my subjects. Seeing and capturing fleeting moments from behind a lens proved to be a powerful addiction which led me to portraiture and wedding photography. On the wedding day, I strive to create images of a bride and groom that show the spectrum of emotions felt on one of the most important days of their lives.”

    Eric lives near the seacoast of New Hampshire with his wife Rebecca, daughter Abigail and son Colin.

Marketing the Marketer

Last week I spent a little time with Charlie, a very successful entrepreneur in Portsmouth, to update his head shot and create some images for use in his marketing efforts. We also took a little time for some environmental portraits for use in editorial projects. Below are a few of my favorites from the shoot…

Ann-Sofie & Aaron: A Currier Museum of Art Wedding // NH Wedding Photographer

Last Saturday I kicked off my summer wedding season. I could not have asked for a nicer, more easy-going couple to spend the day with, nor a more interesting venue. Ann-Sofie and Aaron were married at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH. The venue is rife with photographic possibilities, and my fabulous second shooter for the day Matt Grazier and I felt like kids in a candy store (I’m assuming he did as well)! But, all of the visual interest means nothing without a fun couple to run around with. Throw in an international cast of characters — the couple and their families and friends — who traveled thousands of miles for the event, and you’re pretty well guaranteed an amazing time… and it was! Hilarious Swedish drinking songs, revealing toasts, an incredible caricature song/skit by two of Ann-Sofie’s college friends, and many more antics kept folks laughing the night away. Everyone had a great time, and I am so glad I was able to be there to document it all. Below are a few of my favorites from the day!

Awesome work by the following…

Thank you Ann-Sofie and Aaron for having me along for the day. A big thank you to Matt Grazier for joining me and for the great images too!

At Home with the Gaudets // NH Family Photographer

Yesterday I met up with Heather, Charlie, Branson, Sage and three and a half week old Sabrina at their home in Portsmouth, NH. We had a goal of an updated family portrait, and also to create some fun shots of Sage and Branson romping around. I had photographed the four previously at a larger extended family session, so it was fun to see them all again, and especially the kids in their element. It was a high speed evening, with slides and crazy skate bikes, and I think we succeeded in our goals. Here’s a peek…

Two Generations at Hampton Beach // NH Family Photographer

Last night I headed out to Hampton Beach, NH for a family session that was a little different. Jacqui contacted me to photograph her and her siblings, and also her own children. Having just recently froze my fanny off on a similar evening with my family in NJ, I knew it would probably be windy and chilly, but we’d probably have nice even light, and also that the kids would not tolerate much of it! I was right, so I started them off with a little race on the beach to get warmed up while we waited for Jacqui’s sisters and brother to arrive. We did a few portraits, and then the kids departed to warm up. I was shown a portrait that Jacqui’s parents had taken of the kids in nearly the exact same spot many years ago, so, we set off to create an “updated” version of that shot, plus get a few new ones. Here are a few of my favorites from the session. Enjoy!

Spotlight: Dutch Bloemen Winkle // NH Florist

Last Friday I popped in to Jackson, NH see Carrie at Dutch Bloemen Winkle, one of New Hampshire’s premier florists. I get pretty excited for any wedding where I know Carrie is doing the floral arrangements — you know they’re going to be  incredible! And if that wasn’t enough, Carrie is one of those super nice people who will go out of her way to help anyone. I will be photographing a bunch of her work this year, so I was very happy to spend a little time catching up, talking “shop” and taking a few pictures at DBW world headquarters. Here’s a peek inside the door…
