    Eric was a fabulous wedding photographer!

    Eric was a wonderful photographer for our June 2023 wedding and October 2021 engagement session! He was fun and easy to work with from our first meeting to our wedding day and his photographs are beautiful. We can't wait to continue reliving the day through his work.

    Wonderful experience!

    My now-husband had wanted to hire Eric since he saw him doing the photography for a friend's wedding. He showed me the friend's wedding album and I was sold, too. From our first chat, Eric was fun and easy to work with. He drove up to the lakes region in New Hampshire to do our engagement session, and worked with us to make that experience smooth even though neither my husband or I had ever really done much in front of a camera. He took great advantage of the area and captured some great photos. At our wedding he was so organized, making sure we got all the photos on our shot list and then many that he knew we'd want to have. He was never obtrusive or in the way of the flow of the day, but managed to be right there for every important moment. My husband and I were honestly blown away when we got our final photos (and impressed we got them within only a month!) and couldn't believe all the great moments, feelings, and expressions that Eric captured. We are so grateful to have these images to remember our day for the rest of our lives. We would absolutely recommend Eric to anyone needing a wedding photographer!

    Eric is amazing!

    Eric was so flexible, professional, and easy to work with. Worth every penny! His work is incredible and I can't wait to see the rest of our pictures!!!

    Eric McCallister Photography's reply:

    Thank you, Melissa! Your day was amazing, and you both were just a joy to work with. And the coup de grace was that sunset while out on your boat. You both looked great; simply INCREDIBLE!

    The best in the business!!!

    I don’t even know where to start… oh wait, yes I do! If you don’t choose Eric to shoot your wedding, you are crazy. Hands down the best photographer we have ever worked with! Since our first wedding happened during the pandemic, we were lucky enough to have Eric come back for our “big” wedding exactly one year later. Having Eric shoot both weddings was the best experience we could have asked for. He has an eye for the best shots. He knows all the venues and all the secret places to get the best shots. He gets shots you don’t even know he got! Through the whole process he was super professional and hands down knows his stuff. So, if you are reading this, you should probably stop and just email Eric and then sign that contract and lock him in before someone else does.
    Thanks Eric for everything you did to make our special “days” the most amazing they could be!

    Incredible photos!

    Eric is an incredibly talented photographer. The pictures he took of our wedding at Alyson's Orchard were breathtaking. Our family and friends have admired the beauty that he captured in all his photos.He was well prepared and had an organized plan for the day. He knew the venue well and advised the appropriate times and places to capture the perfect sunset and landscape shots. He sent the digital photos and thumbdrive very quickly, within the month, and even sent a few incredible photos the day after the wedding! We are so happy with the photos from our wedding, and are really thankful to Eric for capturing it all!

    Simply perfect!

    Eric was great to work with from the start. Open communication, great advice and guidance. He has a calming way about him but also made us feel like he was just as excited about our wedding as we were! He showed up to our wedding early and did his thing! We have a big family- that can be challenging. Eric was patient and kind and got the job done! His work is amazing. I highly recommend Eric McCallister to be a part of your wedding.

    Where do i begin? Eric made sure to meet with us well in advance of our big day. He was thorough and ensured we had a game plan for our wedding photographs. He is amazing at his craft and just based on a few of the shots he shared, we know that all of the photos of our wedding will be great!

    My husband and I had Eric shoot our engagement session last May, all of the pictures were breathtaking and exceeded our expectations. We knew that the photos from our wedding would be just as spectacular. Our wedding day was misty and cloudy so there was not much of a sunset, but we went out anyway to try and get some shots. Eric was able to transform the cloudy dark sky to something so beautiful and unique. We truly could not have found a better photographer and we are so thankful to have these awesome photos to remember our day by.

    Eric is in a league of his own. To say nothing of his artistic talent, Eric is a selfless, thoughtful, all around great guy – I hope we get to do some hiking or skiing together in the future. He went above and beyond so many times with us on the big day and during the months leading up to the wedding. I’d say he went the “extra mile”, but really it was more like 8 extra miles when Eric loaded up all of his equipment on his back and hiked with it up a few thousand vertical feet so that my wife and I could do an engagement photo shoot on the side of Mt. Washington.

    But that’s only part of the story, Eric has a gifted eye and is an extremely talented artist. He creates beauty and wonder out of spaces and angles that a left brainer like me would never imagine. Now, my wife and I are immortalized in that space of beauty and wonder. We purchased two large canvas prints from our engagement photo shoot and, one year later, they still bring such a huge smile to my face every time I walk by them. We had the pleasure of having Eric along for our rehearsal dinner cruise and made the great choice to have Eric bring a second shooter, Chris, for the big day so that nothing was missed.

    Thank you so much Eric, you captured amazement, emotion, surprise, joy, love – oh, and EPIC dance party, for us to cherish forever. We can’t thank you enough!

    My husband Nick and I got married on valentines- 02/14/18. Eric was very professional and helpful with the shots. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer-literally worth every penny. Eric had sent us some teaser shots within the first 24 hrs after the wedding- which we got on our honeymoon.. they were amazing! and definitely worth the month wait until we got the usb drive. I can't express how amazing our photos are.. breathtaking. Thank you Eric!! You truly have an eye for what you do.

    When we searched for a photographer, Eric's portfolio was the only one that stood out. True to our hopes and expectations, Eric's photos of our wedding are absolutely stunning. People cannot believe what they are seeing when we show off our album. We got a great variety of photos of both ourselves and our guests; he captured the magic, beauty, and joy of every moment. Even better, Eric was so easy to work with. He was considerate, flexible, and very calm and easy going. When he photographed us, we felt totally natural, relaxed, and were able to enjoy our day without any self-consciousness. We would recommend Eric to anyone and everyone, his photos really will preserve your memories in the most beautiful way.

    Eric is an amazing photographer and was such a joy to work with! He did both our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out absolutely beautiful! He also sends the photos out really fast! After both sessions we had a handful of photos in our inbox the next morning (which was especially impressive after our New Year’s Eve wedding!), which made our moms very happy because they had awesome photos to post on Facebook! Eric provided all of our photos to us on a thumb drive, which was a huge selling point for us! During our wedding, Eric was by our side all night and captured all of the most important and special moments, but without being in our face or annoying. In fact, most of the time we didn’t even notice, which meant he got a lot of beautiful, genuine candid shots. Eric is a trooper and would do whatever he needed to get the perfect shot! At one point he was laying in the snow without a coat on to get a picture of us during the NYE fireworks show. We absolutely loved working with Eric and highly recommend him for any event.

    Photos were very important to my fiancé and I, so we knew that we found the perfect photographer with Eric McCallister. His work is absolutely breathtaking, Eric has been easy to work with from the beginning. After seeing our photos from our engagement session, we can't wait for the wedding!

    We are from New Jersey and were married in Rockport, Massachusetts so there was a little bit of anxiety finding a photographer out of state for our destination wedding. I spent a lot of time researching photographers in the area and viewing their work and reviews. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Eric is a true professional. His photos are unique and classic. He has the ability to capture natural looking photographs with the most beautiful background without having it looked staged. Eric was great to work with. Open communication was important to us since we were planning a wedding from another state and he answered any and all questions we had promptly. Eric's pricing was fair and very reasonable. We definitely felt like we got the absolute best for our money.

    It's almost unfair to limit a review to just words. Just take one look at the photographs Eric takes and you will not need to read any further. The pictures Eric is able to take are nothing short of spectacular . He can take a a gorgeous perfect day and capture it all on film and somehow made it even better.

    Eric is super easy to work with and very open to any ideas. When we first met Eric for our engagement shoot, I had a list of suggestions for places we could take our photos. Eric took my suggestion list and walked for 5 hours through the city of Boston so we hit not just one but all the sites.

    On our wedding day we were lucky enough to have beautiful skies on our wedding day and Eric was able to capture the skies color and vibrance in all our pictures. I love looking at the reception pictures from our wedding as well. There are so many pictures of all my guests caught in perfect moments of happiness and joy and fun. It is wonderful to have those memories captured.

    Eric's skills are truly worth every penny. Photography was the second most important wedding expense to me on my wedding day after the location and I don't think I could have asked for anything more than what Eric provided. Friendly, easygoing, and most importantly, incredibly talented.

    Ladies! Gentlemen! Do yourself a favor and BOOK Eric McCallister Photography! Best decision my husband and I made!! I consider myself someone who is very hard to please and Eric absolutely amazed me with his creative talents!! I loved his website photos when I first discovered him and contacted him right away. We hired him immediately before our first in-person meeting ended. He and his second photographer, Brian, were ALWAYS polite, unobtrusive, fun, efficient, and easy going. They were extremely professional and did every formal (work friend, college friends) or photo (rings, cake, my shoes, guys getting ready) we wanted from the list my hubby and I put together. Just last night we received the email link to our proofs. I immediately sent it to my MOH and mom which created another unforgettable moment. We all cried (in a good way!! tears of pure joy!) while looking at the photos. He brilliantly captured the moments so we were able to relive it all over again. We did not have a videographer and knew how important the photos needed to be. After months and months of planning, the day goes by in a flash and you'll want EPIC photos to capture every special moment and even those you might have missed! Eric delivered everything and more! Booking Eric will seriously be a load of stress off your shoulders. You will not need to worry about anything, just pick the package you want, provide a list, and they will do the rest. Worth every penny! We cannot say thank you enough!

    Eric McCallister is a phenomenal photographer and hiring him for our wedding day was the best decision we made and the best investment we made. After our engagement session, we felt so comfortable around Eric because of his easy-going, fun, yet, professional personality. Our pictures were amazing and instantly we knew we had made the right decision hiring Eric. You will be at ease knowing he will capture not only the events of your wedding day, but also, the atmosphere, spirit and emotions of you and your guests. Ryan and I recommend Eric to everyone we know and for the most photographed day of your life, there is no better choice than Eric McCallister Photography.

    We started the search for a venue before we actually got engaged. And during those many google searches of photographs of brides and grooms across NH, Eric McCallister's photographs stood out far beyond the rest! We didn't know where we were going to get married, how many bridesmaids we would have, or what month the wedding would be, but we knew we wanted Eric to photograph our wedding! We reached out and discussed package options, pricing and what was important to us. He was very gracious in accomodating our budget and requests. Our engagement photographs are amazing! Definitely recommend doing the engagement session. It was great for him to get to know us as a couple and see personal samples of his photography style, which is exactly what we were looking for! Eric was professional and despite nothing going to plan on our wedding day, he worked hard to get us the pictures he knew we wanted. As promised, we recieved a sampling of photographs the night of the wedding and people are blown away! I can't wait to receive the rest and am comfident that they will be as stunning as the ones I have seen so far!

    When we asked a wedding coordinator on the board of directors for Boston Wedding Group who she recommended for photography, she immediately sat us down and began showing us a slide show of Eric’s work. She told us that of all of the weddings and events she’d been a part of, she’d never seen photos quite like his. After working with Eric and seeing the moments he was able to capture, we couldn’t agree more! Eric was extremely professional, made us feel comfortable, and was able to creatively and unobtrusively document our day. Beyond this, Eric is just a wonderful person. He went above and beyond to make sure we had priceless photographs of a family member who wasn’t able to make it to the wedding. I’ve already had countless guests and photo viewers ask for Eric’s information, which is a true testament of his talent (one has already booked and our wedding was 2 weeks ago!). When all is said and done, it’s the photos that you have to remember the day. You can’t go wrong with Eric and I would wholeheartedly recommend him!

    We were extremely happy with our experience with Eric for our wedding. The level of service we received is top notch. Eric is a true professional - very organized, friendly, patient, prompt and also extremely talented. Eric was always willing to answer my questions and lend an opinion ahead of the wedding. The day of he and his colleague showed up early to scope out our venue since they hadn't shot their before. I heard from several guests that he was walking all over the venue taking pictures, and I appreciated the time he took to do this. He was very friendly to our families but did a great job of keeping the large groups on task (not an easy feat with our families at times!) He and his colleague blended into the background for most of the day, and they did a wonderful job of capturing the tone and joy of the day. We are thrilled with the quality of our pictures, and Eric's ability to use lighting to capture a quiet moment at sunset can't be beat. Eric is very prompt in getting pictures back to you as well. Highly, highly recommend him.

    If you want amazing photos taken by a professional and nice person, Eric is the vendor for you. There are not enough good things I can say about Eric and his work. His photography speaks for itself. His shots are creative and beautiful. He takes the images that will cause your friends and family to remark how talented your photographer is and what a great choice you made in selecting him. Aside from his professional talent, Eric is a great person to work with. He's incredibly nice and has a good sense of humor making him a joy to work with. He's also quick to respond to your emails and always gets you a sampling of photos the night of your event (engagement session, wedding, etc). I cannot recommend Eric enough.

    I plan corporate events for a living, and therefore have worked with more than 25 photographers within my career. Eric is a complete professional, and the possibly the best I have had the pleasure of working with. He was able to provide an unbelievable collection of photographs of my wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    My recommendation is that you can spend a lot of money on extras for a wedding. With my wedding I am so glad spent the money and I chose to partner with Eric!

    My friend mary told me about Eric when i was looking for a photographer, i had already been looking online and went to a bride show that had a bunch of vendors so when she told me about him and that i needed to like him up i honestly was thinking how good could he really be... and then i looked him up and i was speechless. .. his pictures are amazing!!!!! I knew i wanted him to take my wedding pictures. If you want great quality, a unique picture and something that looks so stunning you need to meet Eric! When we met in portsmouth the books he brought so we could see some of his work was simple breath taking and stunning, he was easy to talk to and answered all of our questions (most if the questions were from me) i meet another photographer and i just didn't get a friendly warm feeling from them like i did with Eric and the photos didn't even compare. Working with Eric was so easy, a person i never had to worry about whether he would show up or if my pictures would come out ok i just knew everything would be ok!

    Thank you Eric for being my photographer! You were great and i look forward to seeing more pictures :)
