About this vendor
We are Richard & Heather, a husband and wife who are crazy about each other and just so happen to share a passion for photography.
We have 3 awesome kids, who are all growing up way to fast and are the light of our lives. As a husband and wife and as parents we know how precious time is and how important it is to document every possible moment. We are both pretty emotional people when it comes to photographs, we are very nostalgic and our family means the world to us and there are many times throughout our lives that we just love to look through old photographs and talk about those memories with each other and also with our kids. No matter how big or small, without photos, we might have forgotten a moment spent together in those first days as a dating couple, or our child's first grin. Ph

Both our engagement and wedding photos were done by Heather and Richard and they are truly the best of the best! They made us feel so comfortable being in front

ade our day so special. It was always so easy to get in touch with Heather, her experience and advice was irreplaceable when it came to scheduling our family photos and timeline for the day. One of our favorite things about Heather and Richard was that we have the most beautiful photos that we didn't
even realize they were able to capture. We can't wait to come back to Heather for all our our photography needs!
Heather and her husband were absolutely wonderful to work with and created amazing pictures for us! They really understood what we wanted and kept my husband and I relaxed for the ...
whole day. They were professional and fun to work with and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
I found Heather and Richard through a Facebook group after multiple people recommended we use them. I am so happy I decided to go with them. They took our engagement and wedding ph...
otos, and they are absolutely amazing. I couldn’t have asked for more beautiful photos or more fun people to work with. I’ve always felt awkward having my picture taken and they made it feel so relaxed and easy, bringing out true smiles and laughs. I can’t wait to use them for many years to come! I couldn’t thank them enough from capturing one of the most important days in my life.
THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE IN MY LIFE!!!
First off, I gotta tell you that I’m not exactly into sitting down and having my picture taken. Years of disastrous school pictures ...
and family portraits have completely turned me off to the idea of getting pictures done ever!
However, when I decided to marry my gorgeous bride, I would do anything, including photos! 🤣🤣🤣
My wife wanted the best, so she hired Heather and Richard! The best is definitely what we got! We hit it off right away during our first meeting and things just got better from there. Heather and Richard are warm, funny, and radiate a blindingly positive and fun energy that is absolutely infectious! Our engagement, wedding, and family picture sessions are incredibly fun!
The quality of their work is absolutely spectacular! During our first meeting they explained their approach to photography. I won’t go into details here, but what I can say is that they truly have a finely focused passion for the art of photography. During the sessions, Heather and Richard’s teamwork were in full effect, trading cameras and jokes while using a wide variety of angles, lenses, and mixes of film and digital.
Their hard work translates into gloriously pristine photographs that you cannot take your eyes off of!
I firmly believe that when you want a moment that is vitally important to be captured, you should accept nothing less than the absolute best.
If you have that same viewpoint as myself, then you have to book Heather and Richard. Anything else would be unacceptable.
Heather and Richard are very talented, experienced and professional photographers that are a blast to be around! Each have a unique and different style of shooting that compliment ...
one another that allows for a different look and also to get different angles throughout the big day. They did such a great job capturing all the moments down to the details. Nothing was left out. I loved that majority of the photos were candid and didn't look like we were being forced to pose. They caught everyone's reactions and emotions which made for beautiful photos! Aside from the photos themselves, I loved that Heather and Richard helped establish a timeline and helped keep things moving on schedule. There is so much going on the day of the wedding, and I appreciate everything that they did to make sure we got all the pictures we wanted and in the different locations. I really can't say enough about how wonderful these two are!
Heather and Richard are true artists! They made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. It was extra fun to work with a husband/wife team on the day you become husband an...
d wife.
She posted a bunch of sneak peaks over the couple days that followed, it seemed like each new one got better and better. We aren't always the most photogenic but you wouldn't know that looking through our wedding pictures! I told my husband we'll need to get a bigger house to have room to hang all the good ones haha
We planned our Seattle wedding while living in Iowa, Heather was a tremendous help throughout the entire process. Extremely responsive, I rarely had to wait more than 30min to hear back if I had questions on anything. She even recommended a fantastic flourist and an awesome DJ, you can tell she really loves weddings!
Heather and Richard are true professionals and artists. I stumbled upon them while searching online through Pinterest, Flickr, The Knot, Wedding Wire, and Seattle Bride recommendat...
ions. I zeroed in on about 20 local photographers and picked through their online portfolios. What I liked most about Heather and Richard's style of photography was how they captured real moments as well as some posed, and are experienced in both indoor & outdoor wedding settings. Honestly, I don't see wedding photographers often grabbing those candid, real moments and they are the special parts of your day that you'll want to remember forever. I think those moments are the hardest to capture too so it's a high compliment to their skills as photographers that they capture them so perfectly. Also, they are with the times and aren't going to burn a CD for you (!) which is great, and I'd prefer the high quality download of images as we had 500+!! Our package included an engagement session which was a blast. We met with them in July of 2014 at the Seattle Sculpture Park and it was incredibly hot and windy out that day. Heather did a fantastic job of letting me know when mascara melted or wisps of hair were out of place! Richard had a film camera with him (meaning not digital but real film still shots) and the pictures from his camera were AMAZING! The texture that real film offers, and the way it captures color and light is a really cool addition to the high def you get with digital. The pictures are lightly processed before you receive them but the result doesn't look photoshopped, and there's no smeary glamour pics which seriously, I've seen in other wedding albums online. Our wedding was November 2014 at Salish Lodge and we met briefly beforehand to walkthrough the space. It was great to have that personal attention. I appreciated that they involved us in the decision making of where we could take group photos, or artistic photos. Our opinions were always consulted and I never felt like I couldn't say no to something. The day of: as added challenge we agreed to let Heather and Richard be photographed themselves for a short time while they were taking our 'getting ready' pics. This was 100% okay with us, and they had asked our permission beforehand which I respect and was happy to do it. It could've gone awry but it never did. Both Heather and Richard were cognizant of keeping the 3rd photographer away from our private moments and asking us continuously if we were okay. It was a brief part of the total day and again, it went so smoothly because Heather & Richard were so protective of us as clients. The reception also went really smoothly and I never noticed Heather & Richard in the background. When I received the final set of pictures I was so happy to see they'd captured many spontaneous moments like when I was visiting guests during dinner and gave my dad a hug. So many moments that I never would have remembered if I hadn't the pictures. I would add one more thing that they also offer some fantastic coffee table sized books and other picture printing options that we didn't sign up for (yet) but they brought a few books/examples to our wedding walkthrough and so I personally can vouch for the quality of those too. We also received a really lovely high quality print from our engagement session in the mail as a client gift, and it's framed in our entry way. Truly gorgeous work and the best couple you could meet that love photography!!
Heather and Richard are not only great to work with, but they are incredibly talented! They took the time to get unusual, creative shots, and not just the typical wedding pictures...
. We used them for both our engagement and wedding photography, and could not be happier with our choice!

the event from that day. They were so comfortable to be around, super friendly, extremely talented, very professional, and made both my husband and I feel so at ease throughout all of our photos. We are so glad that we booked with them and can't wait to see all our pictures from our wedding. I was also very concerned with a specific budget I had to work within, and they were very open to working with me and even honored a coupon of theirs that they didn't have to. I was very appreciative of their openness to be flexible with me in that department. I would absolutely recommend them to another couple! They are AMAZING!
