Elisa B. Photography | Wedding and Portrait Photography
- Name: Elisa Bricker / Elisa B. Photography
- Located in: Charlottesville, Virginia
- Started in: 2008
- Status: Full Time Professional
- Types of Photography: Wedding and Portrait
- Primary Camera / Favorite Lens: I love my Nikon D700s. I shoot with them all the time and they have some wonderful features. My favorite lens is the 24mm 1.4. It's a beautiful lens, gets big groups well in small spaces, let's me float around on a crowded dance floor and has a great effect with detail shots as well.
- Interesting Personal Fact: I grew up in a large family, taking portraits of my siblings and learned on film cameras from my father, who studied photography in college. I'm the oldest of ten children, so I had lots of faces to practice on!

I am an artist, a wife, and a consummate romantic. I have a minimally processed photographic style with modern touches. My mother always said that makeup should make us look like our best selves – not like we’re wearing makeup. I feel the same way about the post production of my work. I’m reflecting the beauty of who people are – their best selves – and not making them look like something they’re not. Good post production is subtle.
I began my love of photography with a strong desire to create beauty in high school. I found other loves that I studied in college, but found myself right back where I belonged after graduating. I’m blessed to have a family that I love to spend time with and a growing business that desires my time as well. My biggest challenge is finding the work/life balance – something that I suspect will be a constant. J
I shoot all of my weddings with my husband, Edward, who is my partner in the business. I’m blessed to be able to work with him, and our clients benefit from his great eye and grounded personality. We love working together.
I'm a member of the Professional Photographers of America and Wedding Professional Photographers International.

Short Bio - I am a photographer, I always been in one way or another. I am the girl that had a camera in my purse everywhere she went. My friends stopped taking photos because they knew I would. I always dreamed of being a photographer, but it was just that, a dream. Something I never thought could be a reality. Until one day my husband David asked me "What do you have to lose?" I thought long and hard about that, I didn't have much to lose, but had everything to gain. Now I am doing what I love and living out my passion.
When I am shooting I see the world differently through my camera. I get an indescribable feeling inside, I come alive. There is something about capturing ordinary things through my lens and making them beautiful. It is my art.
Eric Smyklo | Wedding Photography
The Quick Survey
- Name / Business Name: Eric Smyklo / Eric Smyklo Photography
- Located in: Erie, Pennsylvania
- Started: 2005
- Status: Full Time Wedding Studio
- Types of Photography: Wedding photography is our focus but we do venture into fine art photography (landscapes, urban, etc.) and some custom portrait jobs. We feel that by primarily focusing on weddings we can provide our clients a better product by not exhausting energy into so many different types of photography.
- Primary Camera / Favorite Lens: Nikon D700. Favorite Lens?! Thats a hard one! I would have to say my wide angle (12-24) is still my favorite lens. It fits my style and allows me to bring all my dramatic ideas to a reality. But then again, I can't pass up my 50mm for detail shots, and 70-200 for amazing portraits!
- Interesting Personal Fact: I subscribe to Brides magazine.

Short Bio: Eric's interest in photography started in high school and later turned into a BFA degree (focus on photography) from Penn State University. Working for some local photographers after graduating, he photographed friends' weddings on the side and ended up enjoying it a lot more than he anticipated. His name spread via word-of-mouth and now books up to 45 weddings in a given season. He strives to keep the wedding day fun and enjoyable for everyone involved and stays true to his candid but dramatic style he is known for. His hard work and endless time put into post-processing (aka, hours spent in Lightroom and Photoshop) really pays off with how continually satisfied his clients are with their final images. He works along side his talented fiancé who is always there to hold a light or get the shots that count. Eric looks forward to creating great memories in many weddings for years to come.

Short Bio: I'm a husband, a father, and a passionate photographer. Enjoying life with my bride, our three beautiful kids, and the worlds best dog Sparkie.
I've seen amazing images all my life and began capturing them on camera when I was attending engineering school. A stable job at an engineering firm was all I ever wanted, but something was different when a camera was in my hands. I felt alive and everything felt "right." I took my engineering knowledge (left brain) to good use by analyzing the camera gear and how it all functioned, meanwhile the right side of my brain was visualizing images that just needed to be captured. I offered to help photograph a wedding for a friend and by the end of the night I was hooked. Exhausted, but excited at the same time. Telling the story of a wedding is something I truely enjoy. In January of 2009 I began a daily photo blog where I posted photos every day that had been taken within that week. This helped me to see light, to really study composition, and to bring my photography to the next level. I intend to keep this blog going as long as I can because it really helps me to stay focused and to improve.

My Two Cents
I met Whitney because I took pictures at her wedding.
She then continued to spend a lot of time learning photography in the year since then.
He parents were very supportive, I saw when her father gave her his DSLR.
She spent a bunch of days this summer at my office learning about editing.
Now she stays very busy doing photography as full time business.
May I also mention her and her husband are good folk.

A Word From the Photographer:
You can read more about how I got into photography on a post I wrote here:
I keep very busy doing weddings and enjoy doing them a lot.
One of my big passions is in traveling and I'm lucky that weddings take me all over the country.
I take a lot of travel pictures but will need to wait until later down the road to find time to do much with them.
I feel very thankful that I am able to make a good living doing full time the thing I love to do.
I love that it means helping people and providing a valuable service.
I try to make my blog a great place to come and learn things about photography and see what I'm up to in my own photography.
Enjoy the pictures, you find lots more on the site. Check out the launch page with links to over 15 sites to see my work (and projects) and learn more about me.
