What Clients Say...
Will: I think we got the best people that could possibly photograph an actor and a cinematographer's wedding.
I think we would be probably the pickiest people ever to photograph.
Quincy: Will is referring to the quality but I want to say the essence of the photos, the moments they caught were very special. When we were doing our vows I didn't know that anyone was there taking our photos; it was seamless. They just folded in so well, they were brilliant.
Will: We knew we didn't want anything about the wedding to be ordinary or run of the mill.
We didn't want the average, staged, come over here posed images. We wanted more of a documentary style.
When I look back on our day I remember how it felt. Their approach to our wedding, without even being directed, was just like a documentary.
When I look back at the pictures I know exactly (what I was feeling)... they caught really special moments, they got the feelings and THAT was important to me.

Hi Eric,
Your work is amazing! Some folks who were at our parents house for a sale, saw the enlarged prints of our wedding and they started asking "which magazine are these pictures from?" Your work is editorial! We really love the black and white prints just as much as the color.
Thanks for the beautiful shots of our special day and for making us laugh.

First of all I want to say how amazing you and Trish are! We were all so impressed with your professionalism, relaxed manner and general fun and nice attitude. I can't tell you how happy we were to have you there!Secondly, the photos are amazing! We could not be happier! I have forwarded the link on to a lot of people and you should probably expect some orders to come in from all over the States and possibly from London as well.Finally, the album is also amazing! I forwarded the link to Dan, but I'm sure he'll love it as well. I was also wondering if there would be any price break if we ordered more than one. Since our families live all over the world I think it would be nice if they could have albums as well. Or maybe we can do smaller versions for family members? Let me know what you think.We were thrilled with the two person team of Eric and his wife on the day of the wedding. They worked great together and did a great job of coordinating all the shots both fun and formal.
Thanks again, you and Trish really are fantastic!

Eric and Trish are amazing photographers and amazing people! We had very little time to plan our wedding and we were in England up until just days before the wedding and they were flexible, understanding and responsive to our situation every step of the way.
On the big day they came nearly an hour early and began snapping photos right away! They were friendly, patient and just fantastic! My whole family loved them and the photos came out better than we could have hoped for! Not least of all, the price was an amazing bargain!
We recommend Stakley Photography to anyone and everyone!
Best,

Choosing Stakley Photography was the perfect choice for the perfect day. The service was everything I could ask for. The pictures turned out amazing. I was able to view all the shots I wanted. Half of the time, I didn't even know that the photographers were there. When I did see them, they were pleasant to work with. They had an awesome personality & made me feel like I was hanging out with family.
Thank you Eric and Trisha for being a part of our perfect day, capturing all the memorable moments and helping us make the day so special.
When I received my pictures, they looked like they belonged in a magazine. I am very pleased with them and thankful to have Stakley Photography
Pierre & Tenia Green
Not only is he an excellent photographer, he is warm and easy to work with. He listened to my preferences for photo style and worked them into his methods. On the wedding day, he also followed me around the entire day to numerous locations from Ann Arbor to Detroit and kept up his good spirits the entire time. He even picked up lunch for my husband and I on the way to one of our clothing changes - talk about a nice guy!

Eric & Trish were absolutely wonderful the entire day. They were very patient with us (and the kids), no matter how stressed out, tired, or hot we were throughout the day. Our pictures turned out beautiful and we are completely satisfied with everything.

The photographer and his assistant were helpful, courteous, and patient. We never felt rushed and their professionalism and know how were over the top. Our pictures turned out great, they were exactly the style we had asked for and our parents got their traditional shots that they wanted too.
Thanks, Angela Mercado
