About Eric D. Photography

meet the man & photographer

What up! Welcome to the about me. This allllll about Eric. The wonderful weirdo you’re considering hiring to photograph you (or maybe you already have and you just want to brush up on who I am again).

Oh boy where to start? To paraphrase a few people I admire (Maya Angelous, David Lynch, Rick Rubin, Wynton Marsalis, Brian Tracy, Sir Ian McKellan, etc.): WE ARE ALL ARTISTS. Every time you make a decision (or when your body makes a decision your brain didn’t), you have made an artistic lasting impact on this planet. And I thank you for doing so. An extra shake of salt, a brush of the hair, swinging the bat, all of it. ART!

If you are reading this then you are likely an artist, or a BIG TIME appreciator of the fact that you can do something the way it has always been done… or you can do something different. That’s my approach. I’m always looking for an intention that brings harmony and voice to an image. I seek to elevate from a “nice” photo, to something that makes us all glad we were all there when we were so that it was memorialized forever.

On a photo shoot or wedding day, I show up as a friend that cares about you as people first. How your day was, when was your last big win. I’ll slap five. I’ll say something silly like “dance over to that point” or “SHOW ME how you’re feeling”. It always varies and it’s always a little different than I’ve ever done it before. You are unique and beautiful and you have a wonderful purpose on this planet, and I am there catch it. 

Personally, I live in the Crystal Coast of North Carolina. That’s near Morehead City, Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle. Also the Outer Banks, Wilmington and Jacksonville, NC to name a few. I’m enjoying the beaches, the hospitality, the food, the music, the fighter jets flying overhead, and once more THE PEOPLE! Life is always good and always optimistic and positive — as I say “it’s sure better than the alternative!”

Anything else you’d like to know about me, feel free to ask. I’m here and absolutely delighted to chat with you! eadehaven@gmail.com 

Peace!

Eric was fantastic! Awesome experience and photos! Usually my husband dreads taking family photos since getting a good shot with all of our little kiddos can be a bit trying, but after finishing our session with Eric he was amazed at how smooth and pleasant the whole experience was! Eric kept things moving, upbeat and listened to all of our requests while also providing professional guidance. And the pictures he got were amazing! Would highly recommend him!

Incredible photographer! Eric is truly is wonderful to work with. He's extremely communicative and open to your photography ideas, and goes above and beyond when providing information about his services and answering your questions. Our friends and family had a wonderful time working with him (the boomerang photo booth was a H U G E hit), and he does a great job capturing and being in the moment with everyone. We couldn't be happier with the photos he took and would absolutely work with him again for other events.

Eric is simply the best photographer for any special event! He took pictures at 4 family events for us thus far and every time he has outdone himself. His pictures are not only beautiful but they are also unique and always reflect the exact personalities of the people in the picture in whatever situation. Looking at his pictures is like reliving the entire event which is just amazing. Eric is also extremely nice, flexible, responsive and has a way to put everybody at ease. If you are looking for a photographer for any special event, Eric is your guy and trust me you will love him and his art too!
