Laura Elskan and Eric Sartoris

Charming. Suave. Muscular. Awesome. These are just a few of the words that Eric Sartoris would use to describe himself. Born in Jaipur, in the Indian province of a northeast Rajasthan, Eric is the son of a man who flew “Over the Hump” to Burma with Chennault’s Flying Tigers just prior to WWII.  Himself wounded twice in the battles of Barstow and Tripoli, he recently gained fame for throwing himself in front of an assassin’s bullet at last year’s Academy Award cermonies, thus saving the life of Oscar nominee Brad Pitt. It was at that time that Eric was revealed as the vigilante hero of the barrio, El Fiera de Batata (”The Wild Beast of the Sweet Potato”).

Though blind from birth, Eric has so developed his other sensory faculties that he is able to use a camera in ways unlike any other photographer. Shooting weddings on weekends, he divides the rest of his time between crime-fighting and running a small bodega in a remote village in the Andalusian hills of southern Spain. Most recently, he misplaced his car keys.

Laura Elskan has a background in Fine Art and children’s lifestyle photography, but found her true joy in photographing weddings. Her artistry and enthusiasm have allowed her to brilliantly capture everything from short-and-sweet Vegas ceremonies to long-and-lavish celebrity weddings. Laura’s style incorporates fun fashion/editorial photography with classical portraiture and photojournalism, to beautifully tell the story of your wedding day.

“I’ve had the extreme fortune and pleasure to work around the country with some of the most outstanding individuals in this profession - true masters. Now, I’m thrilled to be working with Eric. Our styles are perfectly complimentary, and we’re able to inspire each other and push each other to do more, better. 

I work tirelessly to artistically photograph your day in a way that really reflects YOUR personalities and your wedding’s individual flavor. I love that I’m able to stop time a little with each shutter-click, giving you gorgeous memories of each fleeting moment.”
