Smyklo Photo

As a fellow professional photographer, I can confidently say Eric is truly world-class. His work, especially in wedding photography, has always been an inspiration. When my fiancée, Megan, and I got engaged, there was absolutely no question—we knew Eric was the only person we wanted to capture our day. We even prioritized his availability when setting our wedding date! We were incredibly fortunate that he was available for both of our dates (a silver lining of navigating the pandemic). Eric delivered a phenomenal job on both occasions, capturing priceless moments with artistry and technical skill. He is my absolute go-to recommendation whenever I'm booked for a couple's date. Thank you, Eric, for your exceptional talent!

As a wedding DJ, I work alongside photographers every weekend, and working with Eric Smyklo is always a great experience. He’s incredibly talented and has a real eye for capturing moments that actually matter, not just staged shots. What stands out just as much as his photography is his professionalism. He’s always exactly where he needs to be. I’m never chasing him down or wondering if he caught something important. He’s present, focused, and fully engaged the entire night. He’s easy to communicate with, great with couples, and makes the entire timeline run smoother. When you work with someone that dialed in, it makes everyone’s job easier. Any couple hiring Eric is getting someone who takes their wedding seriously and delivers at a high level.

Smyklo Photo does an incredible job!!! Eric has a great eye and editing capabilities. He has done our wedding and family photos. Very easy to work with, makes you feel comfortable, communicates your needs/wants every time. Professional, timely, and fairly priced. If you want awesome high quality photos, you want Smyklo Photo to capture them. Best in Erie!

Eric is the consummate professional. He listens to the client so he can fully capture the special event in a way the client envisions in their head. He takes the time to listen so he can deliver a truly personal experience. Eric is a father himself, so he is a natural when working with families. He is kind and patient throughout the entire experience. Eric's style of photography is his trademark. When you see a Smyklo photograph, you know it is a Smyklo photograph. Eric doesn't take pictures of your event. Eric creates artwork of your event. I strongly recommend Smyklo Photography. Eric and his staff are good, honest, ethical people. You won't be disappointed.

We hired Eric for my brother’s small wedding ceremony and reception. Eric is a true professional. Extremely easy to work with, very patient and kind. He allowed us to pick some poses but also was willing to provide guidance when we needed it. He produced amazing photos. We are thrilled with the finished product and have hired him again for family photos this holiday season.
