Ciro Photography

ming, exactly the energy you want on such an important day. His talent speaks for itself, but beyond the stunning photos, he made the entire experience so enjoyable. Our engagement shoot was amazing; he immediately put us at ease and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Rich went above and beyond, just as he promised, spending the entire day with us and capturing every special moment with his incredible eye for detail and emotion. Rich and his second photographer were was an absolute dream team. We couldn’t be happier with our decision and will cherish these memories forever. Thank you, Rich, for everything... You truly made our day unforgettable! You're the best!!

odating with requests. We cannot recommend him enough, he is the best at what he does.

us for the *entire* time. Whenever we wanted a photo, Rich was there ready to shoot. Taking the photos never felt like a chore. They guided us and joked around with us. It felt like a fun walk in the park with friends! Our full family also loved the photographers. We got the photos back within two months and they are incredible. Rich and Greg did a great job capturing the joy and love we felt that day in a very organic and real way. None of the photos look overly forced or posed. The composition on them is nothing short of beautiful. Rich made great use of the scenery at our venue in all the photos. We wouldn’t change a thing. We recommend Ciro Photography in the strongest possible terms.

at directing us and made sure we got beautiful shots when the sun was setting. He made us feel very at ease throughout the hectic (and wonderful) day! Also, looking back at the photos from our reception, Rich also did an amazing job at capturing the happiness on all of our guests faces throughout the night. I would definitely recommend Rich to anyone in search of a photographer!! He was a pleasure to work with!!!

great at what they do. We also specifically wanted timeless, effortless, and natural photos. After speaking to about 5+ photographers and not feeling like we found our match, we came across Rich’s work. We immediately fell in love with his photojournalistic approach, his timeless work, and the way in which he captured the raw, authentic, and genuine parts of a wedding day. After our first conversation with Rich, it was clear that we found the photographer we were hoping to find! Rich is not only incredible at what he does behind the camera, but he is also a wonderful person to the core. It was clear that Rich genuinely cares about his couples and wants to do everything he can to make them feel beautiful, comfortable, and happy. Communicating with Rich was easy and stress free. He responded to each email with enthusiasm and professionalism. He never made me feel like I was a bother or that I was asking too many questions, which meant so much to me as a bride. He helped us plan everything from our wedding day to our engagement shoot, offered his opinions on locations, and followed up with us the week leading up to our engagement shoot it as the weather was not looking great! Rich greeted us with a big smile, and made us feel comfortable immediately. It was as if we were catching up with a lifelong friend even though we had just met. I’ll never forget driving away from our engagement shoot and saying to my husband, “I am so grateful that we have Rich as our photographer!”. He made the experience fun and effortless, which only made us more confident in our decision to have him as our wedding photographer. About a month leading up to our wedding, Rich communicated with us often and scheduled phone calls with us so that we could go over the flow of the day. This saved us a great deal of time and stress the day of the wedding, and allowed him to do what he does, which is capture the organic, raw, beautiful moments. Rich took the time to ask us which shots we wanted specifically, and he was sure to capture them. He and Greg both brought such a sense of calm the day of our wedding which was so appreciated. They reassured us that everything was going well, and directed us in a way that made it feel natural. They captured all of the moments we wanted, but never made us feel like we were following a script or “plan”. My husband and I could not believe how beautifully they captured our wedding day! If you are looking for a photographer that is talented, kind, supportive, and professional, you need to schedule a call with Rich. I will cherish the photos he and Greg captured on our wedding day for the rest of my life. My husband and I knew we wanted photos that were raw and authentic, and that is exactly what we got. To say we are thrilled with Ciro Photography would be an understatement! We wish we could do it all again, and find ourselves reliving the day through the photos Rich captured at least once a week! Rich, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your beautiful work. We are so grateful for you and Greg, and will cherish our photos forever. We HIGHLY recommend them to any newly engaged couple!

t he brought a comforting warmth to every conversation. I actually felt less nervous about our upcoming wedding after speaking to him, because I knew we were in good hands. He explained everything clearly and made us feel like everything was going to go smoothly—which it did!

y is he incredibly talented, but he is such a warm and caring professional who made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. Always reachable and quick to respond, Rich made me feel well taken care of and confident throughout the planning process, which is so critical as a bride! His team member, Greg, was also amazing on our wedding day. Both super personable and all around great, talented people. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we will cherish them forever! Rich and Greg captured every single detail, every person, and every memory we could have asked for. Ciro Photography is hands down the best in the area and we are so grateful to have had hired him. Highly recommend!!

we could have imagined. I very highly recommend Ciro Photography!

in such a beautifully candid/docu-style and unforced way. What sealed the deal was our initial conversation and understanding his process, sincerity and professionalism. We first met at the engagement shoot and just had a blast! Rich made us feel so comfortable and very quickly, our personalities started to come out which Rich captured so beautifully. On the day of the wedding, Rich and his second photographer were so wonderful, professional and made us feel just so special. When it comes to your wedding photography, there's no need to look further than Rich!

!! Loved them!

son Jonathan & Samantha’s wedding dinner. You captured the day perfectly and it was a pleasure to have you as part of it all. We're so pleased with the results and the lasting memories we now have through imagery of our guests. Mr & Mrs DaSilva

t we hired him. He made us feel so comfortable and I really feel like we hit the jackpot. Best wedding photographer in Westchester County!

lot), and helped us build the timeline for the day of the wedding to ensure we had enough time to get quality photos taken without being rushed. On the day of the wedding, Rich arrived early and was constantly on top of things, including always being near me to snap all the great moments that happened throughout the evening. We were not prepared for how amazing the photos would turn out and how many special moments he had captured without us even knowing. The photos are life-like, bright but with good contrast, and simply stunning. It was hard to choose which ones to print out and frame (so we settled on a lot) and we were able to give truly meaningful gifts to family and friends for the holidays. If you're looking for an honest, professional, intuitive, and talented photographer, look no further than Rich. You will not be disappointed.

he photos we wanted while also being efficient! Rich even stuck around past his scheduled departure time to make sure we got one of the group photos we had asked for. We did engagement photos with Rich as well and really appreciated having a chance to meet in person ahead of the event - those also turned out beautifull! Thank you Rich for capturing so many beautiful and authentic moments - we (and our friends and family) can’t stop staring at our photos!

ou are in great hands. We had such a fun time during our engagement photos and were stoked to work with him for the wedding! Can't say enough good things about Ciro Photography!

anized and we got all the pictures we wanted! We had originally booked our wedding on July 11, 2020 but had to move it to May 1, 2021 because of COVID. We were lucky he was available on our new date and he accommodated the change with no problem at all. We are so grateful to have had such an experienced photographer, it made the whole day go so smoothly. We cannot wait to see our wedding photos, but we know they will be perfect!

roughout the difficult rescheduling process. During every phone call he was efficient and upbeat, helping us feel like everything would work out smoothly in the end. On wedding day, he was a joy to work with. He was unbelievably efficient, making himself unobtrusive when needed but also orchestrating everyone's movements quickly and effectively. He rolled with every hiccup of weather or organization as if he had designed things that way to begin with. He treated every new photographable moment or object as something both delightfully unexpected and wholly prepared for, expressing childlike enthusiasm while moving with the grace and speed of a well-oiled machine. To be fair, we have not yet received our wedding photos, but the previews he showed us on wedding day were stunning and I am very eager to see the rest!

moment and more from our amazing day. Not only did Rich and his team capture GORGEOUS photos of my husband Bill and I, but every second of the day ,as well as amazing shots of our family, friends and the settings. The photos are not only something from us to cherish, but it felt amazing to be able to share them with all of our family , and they were able to benefit from some great candids and family photos for themselves. I have never seen wedding pictures that are this perfect, and everyone I have shared them with felt the same, and were blown away. Aside from the perfect end product, Rich and his teammate were beyond amazing to work with. SO friendly, professional and true experts (many of our family and guests have commented on this as well) I HIGHLY recommend working with Ciro Photography, and I can't wait for the next occasion that we can as well! Thank you Rich!! You gave us a gift of cherishing and remembering our wedding day that we will cherish forever!

vous for our engagement session but he instantly made us feel extremely comfortable - he tells you exactly what to do, helps you relax, and guides you through the process. When we got the photos back we were amazed at how natural, beautiful and captivating the photos were. He has such a special gift of being able to capture these perfect moments in just the right way that you can actually feel the emotion when you look at the photo. Working with him on our wedding day was a dream - he made sure we got all of the shots we gave him ahead of time on our “must have list” without overwhelming us. Also, the assistant he brought was a huge hit with our guests - they were dancing with him all night. We are so happy to have had the opportunity to work with Rich and will definitely stay in touch for future maternity / family shoots. Honestly can’t recommend him enough!

day knowing every moment would be captured beautifully and our expectations were exceeded. Thank you so much for capturing the best day of our lives! - Jessica As a photographer myself, finding another photographer that we could trust was my top priority especially as we were planning our wedding remotely and wouldn’t get to meet our photographer until the wedding day. I can tell you that we got more than we could have hoped for with Rich. It’s easy to see how beautiful his photos are so instead I’ll speak to our experience of working with him. Rich took the time to really understand our vision and it was a relief to hear his confidence that he could capture it and not simply capture photos “by the numbers”. Leading up to our day he remained organized and kept in touch to confirm timelines, must have photos and inquired about the little details like our family dynamics that made the day run smoother. During the wedding, we barely noticed he was there capturing away until it was time for our portraits and he had the foresight to grab us for additional sunset portraits at just the right time. If your concerned with awkward posing, you have no need to worry since he just directed us to interact naturally together and his clear excitement for the photos he was capturing made it an easy and comfortable experience. It felt more like spending a private moment with my new wife than a photoshoot. Lastly, I was impressed with the 2nd shooter Rich hired since his shots fit seamlessly in with the rest of our photos. It’s not easy to find a second photographer that can keep up with the style and quality of your work but he ensured that every photo we received from either of them exceeded our expectations. Thank you Rich! - Tyler

e camera and Rich took every opportunity to make us comfortable and accommodate our wishes for casual, natural photos. He was prompt, professional and the images he created are simply gorgeous!

ned out. He captured the sweetest moments and all of my guests have loved finding themselves throughout all the pictures. I am so happy to have these photos to share and displayed forever and I it is all thanks to the talented Ciro photography team!

ade the whole day fun and easy, and now we have the most incredible photos to look back and reminisce. I pull up our online gallery several times a week and waves of happiness wash over me each time. One of the biggest causes of anxiety for my husband was the thought of having to pose for pictures for hours and hours, but with Rich, we never "posed" - we kissed, and laughed, and enjoyed our first-look in a park on a beautiful fall day and Rich captured our love and excitement in the most natural, stress-free way we could have ever asked for! I cannot thank Ciro Photography enough for the amazing job they did, the beautiful pictures I will have forever, and the fond memories we created on October 27, 2017!

repared my self..but ciro was the complete opposite..it truly was the most romantic, serene, and special moments of the day, aside from there organization and professionalism my pictures are nothing short of AMAZING!! I love how they are candid and raw and they totally just capture the moment..Rich is the nicest guy and is so attentive, always there to talk making your life easier leading up to and on the day of! I heard about him by seeing my friends wedding pictures and just knew he had to photograph mine..can’t reccomend him enough!

created a seamless day and his calm demeanor, professionalism, and easeful communication made the day a breeze and we felt so comfortable. We are so pleased with the photographs and keep getting so many compliments! Thanks Rich!

th. He is the perfect combination of easy-going and pleasant while still being able to manage and direct a crowd of 40 family members for a large photo while even still able to be artistic throughout the day. His photos are the perfect blend of candid, classics, details - every moment he captured is more beautiful than I ever remember because his work brings out the best in everyone and everything that he photographs. I cannot recommend Ciro Photography more, we are so incredibly happy.

es but Rich was amazing! He was able to recommend some awesome places to go for our first look and family photos and with his artistic vision he took some very unique and amazing shots. Both Rich and his assistant were so unobtrusive through out the whole night that at times I forgot we were being photographed which led to him getting very candid, natural looking photos. Rich did an exceptional job capturing the love and emotion of day and for that we will be forever grateful!

e special and superior quality. Rich did not disappoint! From our first phone call he was very honest, timely, and worked to get exactly what we were looking for. Our engagement shoot was beautiful, and we felt relaxed. Our wedding pictures came out beautiful. I am most thankful for their positivity and patience on the day of the wedding. I would recommend Ciro Photography without hesitation!

We got married in 2016 so sorry for the late reply but had to because Rich was amazing!!! Thanks & best of luck to all!

He seemed to be everywhere at once and was able to get amazing candid photos when no one was looking. Rich was literally at the reception until the very end and we cannot thank him enough. He was a true pleasure to work with every step of the way - we will be able to relive our day forever through Rich's photos. Could not recommend him enough!

rrison in the Hudson Valley and he truly captured the natural essence , love and beauty of our day. Rich's assistant was also fantastic, and even a Pulitzer prize winning photographer! He captured the "behind-the-scenes" whereas Rich was always capturing the action. With both photographer, we can look back on every moment of our day, which is a such a treat and blessing. I highly suggest Rich, as he made our day so special and surpassed our expectations with picture quantity and quality. Thank you, Rich and Ciro Photography!

rking with Rich of "Ciro Photography". The day we met with Rich, we had scheduled a few interviews with other photographers. Let me put it this way, after meeting with Rich within a few minutes I decided he would be the person to capture those memorable moments from our wedding. We cancelled the appointments we had scheduled after him. That was pretty bold on my part because usually I don't make snap decisions like that; but I was sold on his upbeat personality, style, portfolio and his overall approach. I felt comfortable, he answered questions I wasn't even sure how to put into words. Seeing his work, made me feel comfortable in knowing that he would bring talent and creativity to our special day.. He is reliable, responds timely to emails, he creates an atmosphere that's calm at times when I would otherwise be anxious/nervous. My husband and I are somewhat camera shy, but he made us feel at ease. I love our engagement photos and I absolutely LOVE our wedding photos. He captured moments we wouldn't have thought of. He utilized the venue well, considering that he has never worked at that location prior to working with us. We are very happy with his work and would gladly recommend him. Everyone who has seen our photos have commented on the great work of the photographer. Thanks to you Rich

ch a warm, down to earth person who is passionate about his work. Rich was on time and not only did he take many photos and even a few specifics we wanted, he made sure we were on time for the ceremony and our reception with time to settle in. Our photos are unique images that reflect honesty, authenticity and the joyful spirit of the day. When my husband and I were looking at the photos from the reception, we couldn't believe how amazing the candid shots came out! I was so happy and surprised, I started laughing and crying and reliving the day all over again. It made me think back to how Rich blended himself seamlessly into the night but was front and center at the same time, never skipping a beat. We recommend him wholeheartedly for any event or moment that you would like beautifully documented. His creative spirit, positive energy, direction and overall execution led to amazing images that we will cherish forever. Also, we loved him so much, we commissioned him again for our maternity shoot this past summer. If you want an experienced artist who can take charge of documenting your very special day, put you at ease and produce timeless and fun photographs, you must go with Ciro Photography.

siastic, and creative he would be. He made us feel relaxed and at ease on such a busy day. And the photos he took were amazing. We loved his candid shots. We also loved his engagement photos. I would recommend Rich to anyone!

graphy. Neither my husband nor I expected how kind, patient, enthusiastic, and creative he would be. The man truly loves weddings! We met rich for our "Save the Date" photos and right away felt that our memories were in good hands. He made us feel comfortable, explained the wedding process and presented us with both novel and traditional ideas, and produced some outstanding shots. It was difficult to select just a few! And now we're looking over our gorgeous wedding shots and facing the same dilemma!

e was calm, easy going and really understood what we were looking for. My husband isn't comfortable in front of the camera so we decided to do an engagement shoot and we had an amazing experience and the photos were just incredible! On the day of the wedding, he took charge once we got onsite, which I really appreciated. He knew exactly what photos he wanted to get and where he wanted to take them. I never had to worry that we were going to miss anything. He brings such a positive attitude and sense of calm that put everyone at ease. When we got our photos, we were completely blown away by their beauty. He was able to capture every emotion and the story of that day and we couldn't be happier with how they came out. I recommend him to all of my friends and family and hope to have an opportunity to work with him again!

meeting, I knew instantly that I want him to shoot our wedding. His vision aligned with ours and his easy going personality just put us at ease. Our engagement and wedding pictures exceeded every expectation. They were not just the traditonal cookie cutter pictures but he captured every emotion from that day. He's highly recommended!

ely surpassed our expectations. Leading up to the wedding he was extremely communicative and so easy and amazing to work with the day of the wedding. I couldn't be happier that we selected Rich!

ibly excellent photographer and a wonderful person to work with. As we see our wedding pictures we can remember all the details of our special day. We love to see the sweet and lovely story Rich is telling and how our families and friends are friends are beautifully captured. The photographs are breathtaking, and express much love, joy, peace, and happiness. We are very thankful for having Rich in our wedding. Rich you are an amazing person and professional!

ble with him. He came recommended to me from a friend of a friend, whose pictures were absolutely beautiful. Throughout the planning process, Rich spoke with me multiple times on the phone and offered so much valuable information about timeliness for photos, etc. My fiancé and I initially booked an Engagement session within our wedding package, however we live in CT, and Rich even offered to meet us halfway between his town and ours for the shoot. On the day of our wedding, Rich and his second photographer showed up early (without my asking) and spent the entire time taking photos. During the night of the wedding, Rich or his associate were constantly by my and my husband's side to snap whatever photo we requested and I know they captured all the little details of the night as well. Although I have not received my pictures yet, I know they will be absolutely beautiful.

e absolutely beautiful (still posting them on Instagram every chance I get a year later). I highly recommend Ciro Photography - great from start to finish!! Just waiting to have a baby for newborn/family pictures :)
