Rika has a great eye for photo ops, makes everyone feel comfortable & easy going in an otherwise eventful situation. She made our guests laugh, helped us in posing, considered our shot list & more. She knows how to manage her time, get everyone laughing & hyped, partnered well with our videographer & gave us what we were seeking. I'd recommend her for any wedding!
Rika is absolutely phenomenal! She is so talented & did an amazing job with both our engagement shoot and capturing our incredible wedding day at Epping Forest! Rika made us comfortable in our poses, was flexible with us on how we wanted to capture our day & had us laughing and smiling the whole time with her incredible personality! I can’t thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to capture any event or shoot!
Thank you again, Rika!
Rika is THE BEST. We had the honor of having her photograph our engagement and our wedding. She quickly helped us feel comfortable with her enthusiasm, kindness, and jokes. Not only is she an awesome person, she is an INCREDIBLE photographer, her skill is shown in the poses she suggests and the photos you receive back. I couldn’t recommend her enough. We LOVE Rika!!!
Rika is amazing! We used her for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. She poses you were she thinks looks best and has awesome photo ideas. She’s great at directing larger groups and is always super patient. We will be using her for all of our photo needs! Thank you again Rika
She made sure that we knew the day was about us. She kept reminding us to not to let anything distract us from being happy and enjoy every moment of that day. We definitely needed that. Her personality was strong and she knew what worked and that helped me remain calm. She was also engaging and funny.
Rika was fantastic in every way! She gave great direction, made sure we laughed & enjoyed ourselves, & captured beautiful moments for us. Can’t recommend her & her work more! We truly appreciate everything and will make sure she’s our photographer for all of our special moments to come.
It was such a wonderful experience using Lavish Touch Photos for our engagement photos! She was so personable and helpful. Our photos turned out AMAZING!
Thank you!
Rika was awesome! She was helpful and had great ideas for the shots! She got shots of many different decorations and dances and when we were on the beach she got us in the water and on the sand and even handled my tiredness from the stress of the day with a delightful smile!
I'm over the moon with the pictures from the wedding!!! My husband and I have looked at these pictures like a million times and we could do it a million more times and still feel those butterflies. The memories were captured so perfectly in each picture! Rika was an absolute joy to work with!! She made the entire day stress free and made it fun. She even demonstrated on how to properly dip for a picture. Weddings can be stressful but with Rika, you are guaranteed to have a stress free wedding and there will be no doubt that the pictures will come out PERFECT!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Amazing, fantastic, wonderful and I highly recommend! Rika and Lavish Touch Photography went above and beyond to catch my engagement and wedding day pictures perfect. NEVER have I received a set a photos and loved them all! Rika made a point to get to know us and capture our personality in our pictures. Will we use Rika again? Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, and you should too.
I’d highly recommend hiring Lavish Touch Photos for any event! Rika did a phenomenal job covering our backyard “minimony.” She captured so much love in the photos, and delivered a beautiful, professional collection of memories. All our questions and changes of plans were responded to quickly. We’ll be reaching out to her again soon for family portraits!
Rika is amazing! She is very talented and very professional. I actually hired Rika after my wedding to take portraits because I was not happy with the photographer from my wedding and the photos I received. I knew right away I wanted to ask Rika to take some extra photos for me. I am not kidding I cried when I received my gallery. She was able to capture all the love and happiness that I felt on my wedding day but not actually on my wedding day. I felt silly taking photos all dressed up again but she was able to make me feel comfortable and relaxed and we just had so much fun with it. And the photos are too die for and I can't wait to frame them around my house.
My wife and I had an amazing experience with Rika. She was professional and made us feel at ease. She gave great direction and captured the true essence of who we are together. I'm so thankful she was more than willing to travel to Atlanta to accommodate our preferred location. I highly recommend Lavish Touch Photos.
Rika was amazing and such a joy to work with! Her portfolio caught our eye and we couldn't have made a better choice. From start to finish, she was easy going and gave great direction. Every thing felt natural and fun. Our guests raved about how she was there for all the moments without being 'in the way' so to speak. Her work speaks for itself and we highly recommend her for any event!
Rika was awesome!!! She showed up at our 1st location ahead of time and got busy as soon as we gave her an idea of what we wanted. From there, all of her suggestions and directions were key to such an amazing experience. We can’t wait to see what she comes up with for our “big day” photos. I would recommend her to anyone (not just wedding planning) in need of a great photographer.
Thanks so much Rika,
LisaMarie & Eric
Rika is amazing! She worked so well with my family (even with the handful of young children running around) lol Shes so patient and creative! We got plenty of great shots from our wedding day that I will cherish forever and an added bonus was how quickly Rika got the photos back to us. I would absolutely recommend Lavish Touch Photography for any event! Thank you Rika!
Rika did my engagement photos and a video of the shoot as well that was absolutely gorgeous! I cried watching it and can’t wait to see the rest of the photos! I 1000% recommend!
We do not even know where to begin!!! Lavish Touch Photos was absolutely wonderful! Rika was our lead photographer for my husband and my wedding and she did not disappoint! She was so much fun. She was so personable, funny, and everyone loved her. I keep having guest tell me how much they enjoyed her. And our photo.....SPEECHLESS! She captured each and every magical moment from our first look all the way to our grand exit and everything in between. She will chat with you ahead of time to get to know you and your future husband. She wants to make sure she captures who you are as a couple and that to me is a sign of a great photographer. She askes you if there will be any special photos you want to have with any guest that is not in the wedding party so she makes sure to include all those people in your life who love you so much! She did not miss a single moment and those photos mean the world to us! I wish this review could do her justice but there are not enough words to write to say how amazing Rika is! We are defiantly going to be using her in the future for all our photo needs.
My husband and I not only had our maternity pictures done, but we also had our wedding pictures done with lavish touch photos. They both came out amazing! Unfortunately, Rika couldn’t take my wedding pictures, but sent two talented photographers to take her place. They worked with me even when things that we talked about before the wedding didn’t end up happening and helped me come up with new ideas. I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. I was very stressed out that day, but looking at these photos made it all worth it! Thank you Rika and your team!
YESSSSSSS!!! Rika did our engagement photos and they were absolutely AMAZING!!!! Rika did such a fantastic job!!!!! She is very professional and has a great personality to work with. There were so many great photos, it made it hard for me and my fiancé to choose our favorites. There were so many great money-shots that captured raw emotion!!!! My hope was that she would capture the real love, passion, and authenticity I had with my fiancé through her camera...SHE NAILED IT!!!! She has such a God-given gift! Thank you RIKA!!!!
Rika made my wedding experience awesome! She made the ladies comfortable along with the fellas comfortable. Her creative energy was just amazing and I could not be more satisfied. However dealing with a bridal party of 10 for each side definitely would have been a challenge for most but Rika made sure everything was organized. She saved me from a few Bridezilla meltdowns. I know who I’m booking with for any honeymoon and wedding renewal photos.. etc. You will not be let down with her photography services.
OMG! Rika and Anna were simply amazing to work with for our 25th wedding anniversary celebration that spanned several days. Rika captured the essence of our love without my husband and I even being aware. It was such a joyous celebration and we now have tangible reminders of the friendships, beauty, soul, and love that was shared by all. We are grateful for Rika. Thank you!
Rika and her team truly made an effort to capture my entire day. She made sure to get all of my ideas and the style that I liked. The best quality is that she is very picky and observant. She makes sure the surrounding and all the details are perfect while taking photos. I truly loved that about her. I would recommend lavish touch photography for your next event.
We are so thankful that we found Lavish Touch Photos on theknot.com! My husband and I traveled from Atlanta to Florida to renew our vows. Our simple vision of just renewing our own vows on the beach with a photographer turned into an actual ceremony just as we dreamed! All thanks to Rika at Lavish Touch Photos! Rika was so professional, creative and resourceful. She arranged the makeup artist and the Officiant! Not to mention the sneak peek of photos were amazing! Thank you Rika for making our renewal of vows a memorable one!
Rika was the best! She was on top of getting all the photos that we wanted, and took whatever request we asked for. She was assertive and has a great eye. I got a sneak peak of a few photos shortly after the wedding and they came out better then I could have imagined. Im so grateful she was there to capture such a special day. I would hire her and her fun personality again and again! Thank you Rika!!!
Our wedding photographer had a last minute emergency and connected us with Rika to take his place, and Rika stepped in like a champ! She took time to meet with us prior to our event in order to get to know us and understand our needs. Rika provided photography at key events of our wedding - marriage bureau in Jax, waterfront photos in St. Augustine, and at our reception event in Jax. She is professional, friendly, extremely talented and provides useful tips and feedback throughout our decisions. We absolutely recommend Lavish Touch Photos for any photography needs and will definitely use her again in the future as she is top-notch!
Rika was the photographer for our St. Augustine elopement; she helped make our day incredible and also coached us along the way because we had no idea how to plan a wedding in six weeks. On the day of, everything was running a little late, but Rika was flexible and stayed longer than she was scheduled to make sure we got all the shots we wanted. She was a pleasure to work with and our photos turned out beautiful. Can't recommend her enough!
Rika was a dream on our wedding day! She was the most professional, kind, and creative photographer. She was everything and more that we could have asked for and went above and beyond during our wedding day and before. Lavish Touch Photos team was wonderful to work with as well! Everything was amazing! And everyone loves our pictures!!!
We are so excited that we chose Lavish Touch photos for our special day. From the beginning Rika has been such a pleasure to work with. She is very upfront, professional, and accommodating. We really appreciated her input with a lot of details trusting in her expertise. Both Rika and her assistant Destinee did great with guiding us through the different poses and really gathering all of the moments that mattered the most! We really enjoyed receiving a few sneak peek photos also. We are super appreciative for everything you guys did and can not wait to see the finish product. Trust with whatever events we have, Lavish Photos definitely will be our go to! Thank you so much again for all of your hard work!
We were BEYOND impressed with Rika. After admiring a million pictures of her work prior to getting engaged I knew she was the one I needed to hire. From the planning of the date, to the day of the engagement shoot, even to the hectic day of the wedding, she was so easy to work with! I had no idea what to expect with the photos and once they came in I couldn't believe how great they were! Every photo captured the pure happiness and love of that day. I truly believe that is because of how comfortable we were. I would recommend Rika again and again!!!!
We hired Rika as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. She did an amazing job both times and the photos turned out fantastic. Rika is professional and very fun to work with! She gives good advice on everything that can make the shot, scenery, and photo look better. If you want unforgettable memories of your wedding, then you'll need to hire Rika for her outgoing personality, artistic craft and photography skills! Thank you so much!
We can’t begin to describe how amazing Rika and her team were and their kindness and professionalism on our wedding day. They were able to capture every shot my husband and I wanted and worked so hard in doing so. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos and want to give Rika and her incredible team the highest recommendation possible. Thank you for everything and hope to work together again in the future!
Rika and her team were amazing and a pleasure to work with. We love all of our wedding and engagement photos and very happy with how everything turned out. Our sunset photos taken during our reception turned out better than we could have imagined. Would definitely recommend.
Rika was fantastic. Made taking the pictures fast, easy and hilarious. Thank you again!!
Rika was AMAZING! So professional and organized from the very beginning. On our wedding day, she made us very comfortable taking our pictures and captured the most beautiful images. And we didn’t have to wait long at all to get our proofs! I would hire her for all our celebrations.
Rika was a pleasure to work with from the start. Communication was always prompt and professional and made me feel at ease in knowing that she was the right choice and could be relied upon. When I asked for special photos she made a special effort to get them. The result was a great combination of photos that I will cherish forever.
We booked Lavish Touch Photography for our Engagement Photo Shoot. They were very flexible with us. After we initially scheduled our shoot, there was rain forecasted to occur smack dab in the middle of our shoot. Rika was on it. She called and we moved the time up. We also planned for a back up indoor shoot. The day of our shoot we had good weather during our new time. Our photographer was early. We were able to hit 5 locations and got tons a great pictures. Rika edited quickly, made our save the dates and was extremely professional. I would highly recommend Lavish Touch Photography!
Lavish Touch did a wonderful job with our wedding. Rika and her team are excellent, and did an awesome job with the photos. Dawn shot our wedding, we got our normal wedding shots, action shots of the ceremony, and she caught some dance moves of our guests as well. She was so attentive, whenever a guests of ours got ready to take a photo on their phone, she came in and took one on the phone, and with her camera. She was also very patient with my scatter bride brain, which I'm sure wasn't the easiest to deal with before the ceremony got going! Photos are quickly sent electronically, we got them while on our honeymoon and were so excited. Edits are done quickly and look beautiful. We got so many wonderful pictures, and compliments from our guests on how awesome Dawn was. We cannot say enough about Lavish Touch! You will not be disappointed!
After some furious googling in trying to find the perfect photographer, I came across Lavish Touch Photos website and I’m glad I did! Rika and her team were professional and amazingly patient. Very friendly and puts you at ease if, like me, you’re nervous in front of the camera. The photos we received were fantastic, all the traditional ones you want, but some great candid and quirky ones we really appreciated. I love that Rika goes the extra mile!
We couldn't have picked a better photographer to share our big day with. Rika and team were beyond helpful, friendly, easy going, and professional. Unfortunately, a few days before the wedding Rika called and informed us that she had a family emergency and would be unable to shoot our day, but will make sure we were well taken care of by another photographer on her team. I could tell in her voice that she was saddened by the call she had to make. We were extremely nervous on the day but was relieved when the photographers from the team showed and were just as friendly and professional as Rika. They were able to capture all of the personalities within our bridal party and the love that my husband and I have for each other. Lavish Touch Photography’s ability to use our venue to take photos were absolutely breathtaking and the end outcome was more than we could have ever imagine. It was truly our pleasure to have the Lavish Touch team as our photographers. We would highly recommend Lavish Touch Photography to everyone we know.
Excellent!
Being my own wedding planner, I had to utilize a lot of different avenues to find different vendors. I solicited wedding photographers via social media and I received over 100 different recommendations. My wife and I went through all of those recommendations and LavishTouch stood out among them all. From initial initial contact, Jerrika was prompt and professional. She held our hand through the entire process and even connected us with other possible vendors. We didn't want the complimentary engagement shoot that came with our package, however, Jerrika insisted. Boy, am I glad she did. She was patient and we got to see her passion behind her craft. Our engagement photos were ABSOLUTELY amazing. She was able to capture our admiration for each other as well as our different personalities. Our wedding day was no different. I am a stickler for time management and I wanted everything to go according to our timeline. I knew that we had an allotted amount of time for photography and our photographers.. and I wanted to be courteous of everyone's time. Jerrika told me not worry and relax on several occasions. I felt like she was there to keep my nerves at bay as we'll be an amazing photographer. Hand down, I will never solicit another photography company to work with other than LavishTouch. She has our business for life.
Jerrika did an amazing job with our engagement photos and we were so excited to have her shoot our wedding. The week of she sends me a confirmation email mentioning 2 photographers that I have never heard of. When emailed that we had agreed she would be the one to shoot the wedding, she responded she had family issues and couldn't make it. The photographers she sent were amateurs at best and didn't make us feel comfortable or happy about them being there. I understand family things come up, but with how much weddings cost it is hard to be lenient. I'm sure she will do a wonderful job editing the photos we ended up with, but it would have been nice to have the photographer we hired to actually show up to our wedding.
Jerika is a fantastic photographer and really helps bring out the personalities and best side you when she's taking photos! She did such a great job with our engagement pics that we hired her for our wedding and she definitely exceeded our expectations. She caught really great moments we would have missed without her keen eye for photography. Thanks so much! Definitely would recommend Lavish Touch Photography to anyone!!
I can not come up with enough words to express how pleased we were with Lavish Touch Photos! The level of care and dedication they put into everything they offer you as a part of your wedding package exceeded our expectations. We worked with them for both videography and photography for our wedding, and they also took our engagement photos. Rika was our main photographer for both events. She and her team made us feel special all day. She made every effort to capture all the photos on our picture list, asking for our opinions, and coming up with some spur of the moment ideas that came out fantastic. She knew all of the best places and angles to pose at our venue in West Bloomfield and helped us to get some truly unique poses and shots that we would never have thought of on our own. I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone else I know getting married. Thank you Lavish Touch Photos for capturing our wedding day so beautifully!
Rika was an amazing photographer. Professional, easy-going and welcoming to all guests at my wedding. Even when we didn't know what poses we wanted, she was quick to suggest something and keep the camera going throughout our full 2 hour session. Photos were ready to view in under a week so we can pick out the perfect photos to be edited :) Her kindness and friendly attitude made this process light and easy which is exactly what I had hoped for! If you're looking for a photographer for a great deal and best service choose Lavish Touch Photos!
My wedding photos came out great. The photographer was very professional even with my crazy family.. lol.. She had great ideas for the limited photo space we had. Thank you for making my day even more enjoyable.
Rika is AMAZING! From the start, she made us feel so comfortable with everything - I literally felt like I have known her for years! We did a wedding package with engagements, bridals, and of course the big day! Everything turned out so amazing! We tend to be very shy when it comes to getting pictures taken but she really made us feel at ease. She stays in constant communication with us about everything, which helped the stress level of everything as well! I would definitely recommenced Lavish Touch Photos and her team to anyone looking for great photography!
Rika of Lavish Touch Photos was amazing from the start. We hired her to shoot our wedding at a unique venue. Naturally we wanted to hire a photographer that would be able to capture candid, natural looking photographs. She did just that, and more! Rika exceeded our expectations, answered tons of our questions, and gave us more edited photographs than were promised. We couldn't be happier with the service that was provided and would highly recommend Lavish Touch Photos to anyone getting married, having kids, or looking for any type of photoshoot.
While looking around for a photographer we contacted a few who were not timely with responses. Lavish Touch was always prompt and very helpful with responses. We are very happy to have chosen Rika for our photographer. She was professional, made us feel very comfortable during our session and produced beautiful engagement and wedding pictures! We just let her do her thing and she made us feel very comfortable. I would highly recommend Rika to all my friends and family. I feel like the pictures alone are strong proof of her talent, but also her creativeness and ability to make us feel comfortable during the wedding was something I did not know I needed.
She also saved our day by referring Brandy of WillUParty Event Planning to coordinate our day. Thank you again!
You made our sessions and wedding day a very enjoyable experience.
