Heather Rice Photography

From a mother of the Bride's point of view, I cant say enough about Heather Rice. Not only is she an amazing photographer, she is an amazing person. She took the most outstanding pictures and captured moments that no one else noticed. She was everywhere all at once and did not miss a thing. We look at the pictures she took and feel like we are there again. The unexpected pictures were amazing capturing moments we would never have remembered. And in addition to being all over the place at once, she jumped in and helped with makeup, hair and anything else that she could help with. I promise anyone that hires her will not be disappointed, she will give you more that you could ever expect. We not only have the best memories ever, we we have made a new friend. Love, Love, Love HEATHER RICE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

Heather Rice is an absolute dream to work with! She worked with us on a wedding in St. Pete and did an amazing job! She is extremely professional and her photography is second to none. Two of the most important things in any event are the food and the photography, and we are proud to call her a preferred vendor!!!

Heather made our wedding dreams come true! She captured all of our special moments and more! There are some pictures that I can not believe she got. She is quick and creative! We can not stop looking at our pictures.

Heather is extremely talented and helpful -she does more than just take pics on the special day like saving my bustle !!

Heather Rice is hands-down the best photographer to go with for your wedding in Central Florida. She clearly prides herself in being organized and punctual with her business. We had a smooth experience from start to finish, largely in part due to her intervention at certain points. If our experience is any indication, she goes above and beyond with her work. We are so lucky to have had her as our vendor for this event.

Planning a wedding from thousands of miles away can be challenging to say the least. I knew I wanted to get married in Florida near where I grew up but I needed to book a venue and simply didn't have the luxury of hunting in person. I started my search on instagram with hashtags and started screenshotting images that I loved. It was because of some fabulous photos taken from various weddings that I chose Bella Collina. After choosing my venue I went back to my screenshots and noticed that many of my favorites were all by the same photographer. I immediately followed Heather's instagram. After a few months of seeing amazing photos time and again, and finally being able to travel I went to Florida ready to power plan! I immediately booked an appointment to meet my dream photographer with fingers crossed that it would be a good fit. Heather and I immediately clicked and together we found the perfect package for my special day! Her photos are not only creative but exceptionally bright and clear. The day of our wedding Heather and her assistant were ready to get all of our perfect shots. Heather used her creative and expertise with lighting and angles to give us unique images that captured our joy, love, and excitement throughout the evening. Heather is easy going, fun to work with, and dedicated to you and your happiness. We had fun before our ceremony during our first look riding around on a golf cart together, and then broke it down on the dance floor to Justin Timberlake. The day after our wedding Heather had over 100 previews for us to cherish! Without question choosing Heather Rice was our best vendor decision! We have so many beautiful memories and recommend her for any photography services you may need in the future!!!

5+ stars, Heather is an incredibly talented professional photographer with amazing interpersonal skills. If you are considering hiring Heather for a wedding photographer, I can't recommend her services enough. We opted for the First Look package with Heather and it was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I had never met Heather before the wedding or ever seen any of her work. My wife reluctantly convinced me that we needed a professional wedding photographer and I trusted her judgement when she suggested Heather. I'm glad that I listened to my wife right from the start [lol], Heather's professionalism and ability to capture our happiest moments exceeded all of my expectations. The high-calibre professional quality of Heather's photographs are pretty obvious just from looking at them, but I thought I would also quickly highlight three under-the-radar things that I really appreciated about working with Heather. 1) Her Creativity - Heather was great to work with before she even snapped her camera, she scouted locations, had a bunch of different suggestions prepared for us, and made the necessary minor adjustments before each photo to ensure the image would be perfect. She was extremely easy to spend time with and worked seamlessly with my wife and her assistant to stage our perfect wedding pictures. Her creativity was also very evident after the wedding, as she has created a bunch of different beautiful edited images of our wedding. Interpersonal Skills - I'll just say that a couple of my in-laws can be a little difficult to deal with at times. It didn't phase Heather at all, she was able to quickly remedy their concerns while keeping her focus on my wife and without ever losing control of the scene. Heather is extremely personable, all of the guests liked her and we found her extremely enjoyable to work with on our special day. She Puts Her Brides First - The wedding was probably the most hectic day of my life so far, and I've realized in hindsight how much we benefited from having Heather as our photographer. Like I mentioned, she has great interpersonal skills, and she utilized those to ensure my wife was always the focus of attention. She wasn't swayed by the demands of overbearing in-laws or any sporadic interruptions. Her professionalism and command of a chaotic scene was very impressive throughout the entire evening. Heather worked relentlessly to help ensure that my wife and I got every picture and memory from our happy day and I'll forever be grateful for her hard work. Brandon C

Heather Rice is truly a joy to work with – a professional who knows her craft. We utilized her services for our son and his bride’s beachside proposal, and also their wedding ceremony and reception. “Stunning”, “Amazing”, “Absolutely gorgeous” – these are a sampling of the many expressions of delight from family and guests on viewing her pictures (which came back to us very promptly, I might add!). Heather truly has a gift to capture the essence of the moment in breathtaking detail and emotion. My son’s spontaneous tears on seeing his bride at their “First Look” is just one example. She possesses that unique ability to be right on the spot to catch the shot, while remaining unobtrusive. We also appreciated the way she incorporated various unexpected elements – wedding invitation, rings, shoes, bouquet, etc. – in truly unique settings. We are pleased beyond measure with her results – precious memories that will bring a lifetime of connection to this special moment in our lives. You only have once chance to get the right shot! So please call Heather – you’ll be glad you did. The proof is in the pictures!

Heather is truly amazing. She made me feel so comfortable during our consultation and I felt like I have known her forever. She is professional, personable, and she did an outstanding job of capturing all the special memories of our night. We highly recommend her.

Hiring Heather was the best decision my daughter made for her wedding! Heather was completely professional while, at the same time, treating my daughter like a princess. The photos were exquisite, the details captured in a truly artistic way, and we had our first sneak peeks by the morning after the wedding. She also helped guide us through the day and keep us on track with timing so every part of the day was captured on film. She truly is a treasure for any bride wanting stunning photos of her day!

From the first moment you meet Heather you feel like you've known her for a million years. She made my process flawless and blended right in during the wedding. We loved her creativity, humor, devotion, and professionalism while she flowed through the day's schedule. Most of all she showed us that we were her first priority during that moment. It wasn't about what other people wanted or what she wanted, but what we wanted. I am thankful that Heather was a part of our wedding story. Plus she got my husband to show teeth when he smiled! That's nearly impossible to do.

We hired Heather Rice to photograph our wedding day. She is AMAZING! Heather is so easy to work with, is very personable, and is incredibly talented. She is also very fast - she provided some previews within 24 hours and delivered all of our pictures within a couple of weeks. Heather put us at ease, kept us on time, and made me feel beautiful. We absolutely love the gorgeous images she captured and are so thankful she was our photographer. Our wedding was a destination wedding, but I wish we lived closer so that I could have her capture all of our special moments. We would definitely recommend her to anyone for pictures!

This was my third wedding (the third time's a charm!) and I am so happy that I hired THIS photographer. Heather did us the ultimate honor of photographing our very intimate March 2015 destination wedding in San Francisco. What an amazing place! And, Heather managed to capture every sweet moment - and so much more. Heather has the best sense of humor, a creative eye like none other, and actually made our special day (and the trip!) FUN! Our pictures are stunningly beautiful. Investing - and, yes, it is an investment - in a professional photographer who gives you so much more than you could have ever asked for is the best investment a bride (and/or groom!) could make.

Heather Rice gave us the most amazing experience possible for our big day. She was extremely professional and creative. Aside from being the best at what she does, she was also so much fun to work with. She even helped with other parts of the wedding. My family was so impressed that my sister booked her two weeks later for her own wedding. I couldn't imagine using anyone else for future photography needs.

I would highly recommend this photographer! She takes the time to get to know each of her clients. She puts her heart and soul into her work and it shows. She pays attention to detail and really knows how to get a party started. We are so happy we have become part of the "Heather Rice Photography Family".

Heather is without a doubt the best photographer out there! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and always knew where to get the best shot. She knows her weddings! When it came time to cut the cake my new husband and I blankly looked at Heather and she happily gave us the quick run down on what to do!! I highly recommend Heather to every bride out there! She is also extremely timely! She had preview photos up within 24 hours!!!

Heather is not only a genius when it comes to creativity through photography, but she is also WONDERFUL to have by your side on your big day. Her and Michael are so much fun to work with; she kept both my fiancé and I laughing and having a great time throughout all the wedding madness. She will forever be my recommendation when it comes to photographers!

Heather is great to work with. Her attention to detail is outstanding. Heather did our engagement session and wedding day photos. I'm so happy we were able to work with Heather. She was there for advice and it felt like we were friend for years. Heather suggested we do a first look, which I thought was different but I trusted her, my husband took some convincing, After we did our first look, he was so happy she suggested it, it was such a special moment for us. Not to mention it started raining after our ceremony, so we felt extra relieved we got our pictures prior. The day of she suggested I also do a first look with my dad, which was amazing. Those two moments were so special and looking back at the pictures brings me back to that moment. Heather did a wonderful job capturing special moments and looking at the pictures bring tears to my eyes, I couldn't have asked for more. Heather did an amazing job and she is excellent at what she does. You won’t regret working with her. Thank you Heather for being a part of our special day and capturing memory’s I will have for a life time.

If you are looking for someone to capture every precious memory of the best day of your life, then you need Heather Rice as your photographer. As a new bride I can say with certainty how fast your wedding day goes by. It is all over in the blink of an eye and that is why it is so important to have beautiful pictures to look back on and re-live the moments from that day. Heather went above and beyond every expectation as she captured every perfect and magical moment of our day. She is such an awesome person, and makes working with her feel like your working with a friend. Two of my most cherished moments from my wedding was the "first look" with my husband before the wedding and our "last dance" once all of our guests had left the reception. Both things Heather had suggested we do, and not only did she capture the perfection of both those moments but it allowed my husband and I to have two special moments during our busy day that was just the two of us. I would have never thought of that if it were not for Heather's suggestion and I will be forever grateful. Heather truly has your best interest in mind when she photographs a wedding. It is just one of the things that sets her apart from so many vendors. She told my fairytale story beautifully through her photographs and helped create the most magical day for us. She is truly amazing at what she does and she is so much fun to work with. Moral of the story: You want Heather Rice for your wedding!

Heather was amazing every step of the way! From our engagement session that came with our package to the day of. She was there to ask questions during our planning stages and worked with us to get the shots we wanted. Her work is worth every penny we spent! Truly the best photographer in central Florida! We had an August wedding - outside - and she was able to get everyone together and quickly yet efficiently went through all the shots needed so everyone could get back into the A/C before we melted. After the wedding she the turn around for us to get our pictures back is faster than I thought. I have friends who were married months before us and are only getting their pictures now, we have ours on the way after only 3 weeks! Plus we were able to have proofs to show on facebook to eager family and friends. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding look no further than Heather Rice!
