I am Eric Kelley.

I like to travel a bit to foreign lands. I am willing and ready to go anywhere almost anyone might ask me to go. My adventures have taken me to 19 countries, 7 of which were added to the list in 2007. I graduated from the University of Virginia in 2006, receiving a BA in Studio Art (with a concentration in fine art photography). While in school I was a four year varsity athlete on the swimming and diving team. In my second year, I set the school record in the 10 meter platform, which I still hold today.

Wedding Information

I began documenting weddings in 2004, when I was a junior at The University of Virginia. A few months after that I started working for Bill and Anne Holland (Holland Photo Arts). Upon graduation, needing to find a job I went on with them as an associate photographer. That was in 2006. I assisted with them for a full year and then started booking my own weddings for the 2007 season, of which I documented 15 weddings for HPA. I also photographed seven weddings for my own company, which got kicked off in October, and the conclusion of my weddings with Bill and Anne.

My 2008 Wedding Season saw me document 30 weddings in and around the Charlottesville, Virginia area. These weddings took me as far as the Southwest Virginia and on up to the Baltimore area. I also had the privilege of working in the Dominican Republic, at Casa De Campo, photographing a destination wedding for an American couple.
