Heather Banks
My interest in photography started in college - I took my first photo course and I was hooked. I would spend hours and hours in the darkroom and I would immerse myself in the art. After college, I continued photography as a hobby, and friends who were getting married asked me if I would take some extra photos at their wedding because they knew I was a hobbyist. These same friends started coming back to me and were happier with my photos than with their hired photographer. Eclectic Images was begun. Read More...

Married August 22nd, 2008
"I knew all along when planning my wedding that I wanted to make the most investment in the photographer because photos are really the only thing from the wedding that lasts (besides the relationship, of course). Also, I come from a journalist background, so my expectations were high and I did not want a photographer that was going to make me pose the whole time.
