My husband, our families, and I could not recommend Richard and Tara more highly. We had an amazing experience working with them for our wedding. Richard and Tara were communicative, helpful, and professional. Starting with our engagement shoot, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos for the engagement shoot and the wedding turned out PERFECTLY, and we received both galleries earlier than we ever could have hoped. One of the unexpected perks of working with Richard and Tara was their general wedding expertise--they talked us through the decisions of whether or not to do a first look, which family photo combinations to do, you name it! They made us feel super comfortable going to them for advise. We came to trust Richard and Tara implicitly, and they felt like true allies on our wedding day in making everything run smoothly. HIRE THEM!
We originally hired Richard & Tara before the pandemic and we finally tied the knot in July 2023, so we’ve known them for about 4 years now. We absolutely made the right decision hiring them. Richard & Tara were an absolute a joy to work with. They clearly know their business inside and out. They know exactly where to be at what moment and they work as a well-practiced team together to capture the best shots. Also, their cameras are whisper-quiet – I never once the whole day noticed the shutter sounds, which I think put me more at ease throughout the day instead of being reminded that every moment was being documented, and resulted in better photos! We also had planned for a member of the wedding party to be our “photo wrangler” and call people up for efficient portrait shots after the ceremony, but that was totally unnecessary because Tara had it under control and was an absolute pro. Richard undeniably has an eye for photo composition; for example, in seconds he can see that out of a group of 6 guests, half have darker suits and half have lighter suits, and he’ll space them evenly for a symmetrical photo – all in a matter of a couple seconds. Simply amazing. They also did not bat an eye at a donkey being the ringbearer. When we got the photos (only a week after the wedding!), we just could not believe the quality of the work. We spent hours flipping through them and re-living the day, and some shots just took our breath away. They also employ some light image editing; for example, my hair started to get super frizzy after the ceremony and the MOG’s sleeve ripped, and Richard & Tara just edited these little problems away in key shots so they wouldn’t distract from the captured moment, which was very appreciated. The gorgeous box of printed photos and thumb drive sent to us about 6 months later was also stunning and an instant heirloom. We will treasure these photos for decades and decades to come.
I first encountered Richard and Tara when they photographed my friends wedding. Their professionalism and quality of work were equally as impressive then as it was for our wedding. When we had the opportunity to work with them personally for our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. They are both so fun to work with, it feels like you have two friends behind the camera instead of two complete strangers. Their guidance and instructions on how to pose helped out so much, since we are both so awkward when in front of a camera - they made us feel like models and knew they would capture our best sides. On our wedding day, we know that getting through family and friend photos would be no easy feat, but Richard and Tara did it efficiently and with enough direction that we were able to catch up on time when we were originally running late. During cocktail hour I loved that Richard and Tara were there noticing who we were taking selfies with so that they could step in after and take a professional photo. They were also so helpful throughout the day in ways that I'm sure go out of their scope of work - telling the kids to smile (and not stick out their tongue) during photos, telling me if the groom had walked up to the front of the aisle, and (Tara) helping to bustle my dress when my bridesmaids were struggling with it. The day after the wedding everyone commented how great the photographers were, and said they would now be lost without them telling us how to pose in pictures :) And the best part is that they were so easy to communicate before and after the wedding. And our pictures were received sooner than expected. If I ever have a need for a photographer, or if a dear friend or family of mine needs one - I will recommend them over and over again.
We had an amazing experience with Richard and Tara for both our engagement photos as well as on our wedding day! They know exactly what they are doing, how to coach you, where to stand in order to make those photos look as magnificent as you can imagine. Walking down the streets of Fells Point on our wedding day with them almost felt like going on a double date .... they were so easy to work with, talk to, interact with and especially smile in front of! We couldn't ask for a better experience starting with our 1st phone call consultation all the way through our wedding day festivities. Highly Highly Highly recommend these two !! <3
Richard and Tara are phenomenal! They were super easy to work with and helped us remove all of the usual awkwardness one may feel when taking posed pictures. Both of them were super responsive and we cannot believe how amazing the photos looked. We absolutely recommend this awesome duo!
Richard and Tara captured my brother's wedding years ago and I was so impressed with how organized they were plus the photos were beautiful; so I booked them for my wedding in August. Best decision ever! Not only are they wonderful people to work with, they are extremely talented. My family members and friends are still raving about our photos. We cannot wait for future milestones as we already know which photographer we are going to choose. Thank you again, R&T for capturing all of the special moments from one of the best days of our lives!
5 stars are just not enough to give Richard and Tara for their amazing work! They have the most contagious personalities and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. They are so flexible - we had to reschedule our engagement shoot many times due to weather and every time they worked with us to reschedule quickly. They are so creative and have such an artistic perspective on photography that you will have a hard time picking which photograph is your favorite! They truly are a power couple that will make all of your photography dreams come true. We got all of our engagement and wedding sneak peeks back almost immediately and our actual photographs back in a timely fashion. I can not say enough good things about Richard and Tara and would pick them again in a heartbeat for any photography needs! Thank you guys for making our wedding day spectacular!
Richard & Tara were so kind, fun, and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed having them capture our day. They were familiar with the venue and were able to take some breathtaking shots. Our pictures look incredible and we are so happy we chose them.
We cannot rave about these two enough! They were so easy to work with, made us feel so at ease during every shoot, and are just really wonderful people. The pictures were stunning. We recommend these two to everyone!
Richard & Tara did our wedding day photos and I can not say enough good things about them. They were easy to coordinate with and work with. They captured all of the best moments of our special day seamlessly and flawlessly. We have more photos than we thought possible to choose from! I would highly recommend using them for any of your special occasion photos!
You cannot go wrong with Richard and Tara! They went above and beyond to make sure we captured everything we wanted to capture before the night was over! And they are so experienced that they just know how to pose you so your shots come out perfectly. we love every single photo from them so much! And as the bride, I got sick the day of the wedding, and they made the most out of it! I can't thank them enough! The real MVPs!
Wow, where to start. There aren't enough words to describe how AMAZING this duo is!!! We are so lucky and thankful to have had Richard and Tara capture our special day! They made the happiest day of our lives even happier than we could have ever imagined !! Their knowledge of poses looking natural, lighting, and creativity, is absolutely incredible. They are very professional but yet so comfortable and laid back at the same time. I have a complicated family and was worried how we would be able to get the family photos done. Tara made it stress free and was so professional and organized when it came to coordinating my family for the photos, I was so impressed. We got all the family pictures that I wanted and there was no headache or drama at all! I have received SO MANY compliments of how great our engagement and wedding pictures turned out! Do not even waste your time looking elsewhere for your wedding photographers! Richard and Tara are best out there!
Richard and Tara are fantastic! They are the perfect combination of professional, fun, and classy. We are blown away by their work. Highly recommended!
Richard and Tara are amazing!! They captured our wedding day perfectly!! All the pictures are so wonderful its so hard for me to pick which ones to blow up for our house! They are so easy to talk to and so sweet! They joked and laughed along with us while taking pictures and totally put us at ease! My husband hates taking pictures but they made him feel so comfortable by joking with us that his genuine smile shined right through :) They killed it! We had a very large wedding party and they handled it incredibly, they joked with us and got everyone to smile and look at them when needed! I could go on and on but bottom line is, I would recommend them to anyone, 10/10 hands down!! :) Richard and Tara thank you for everything!!
Richard and Tara were an absolute joy to work with. They made us feel so comfortable and really listened to what we wanted. We couldn't have asked for better wedding photographers!
Richard and Tara did an amazing job! They were helpful leading up to the wedding and very organized the day of. Our wedding photos turned out beautiful.
Tara and Richard were a joy to work with. They are extremely organized and professional. They helped my husband and I feel comfortable every step of the way. The pictures turned out amazing and every moment was captured. They truly helped make our special day perfect! Highly recommend!
From the moment we met them Richard and Tara have been so reassuring/easy going and amazing to work with. From the initial meeting, Tara made us feel like good friends more then clients. Expectations were communicated so clearly from the beginning. Richard and Tara also work together so nicely that it made my then fiance and I let loose during our photo shoots and warm up to the camera. Richard and Tara were not only our photographers, they were our advocates and we feel fortunate to have met such amazing sweet and talented people!
Working with Rchard & Tara for our October 2017 vineyard wedding was a great experience and our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful! They were wonderful with providing direction for the photos and everyone in our families and wedding party loved working with them. Leading up to the wedding, they were very helpful and accomodative and made everything so easy for us. They were extremely responsive and instrumental in helping us establish a timeline for the day that worked for everyone. Our pictures turned out to be absolutely amazing and we are constantly being asked who our photographers were . We would highly recommend :)
We needed one more BIG piece of the puzzle to wrap up our wedding planning, the photographer. We decided to go with Richard and Tara. From the beginning of the planning stages to our staggered-day wedding to them being so accommodating, we knew we made the right choice. Richard and Tara were great communicators through the entire process. The special day was AWESOME! They got all of the important shots, cake cutting, toasts, dances. They also got shots of all of the guests just enjoying themselves and WE LOVE THAT! If you're looking for great photographers or thinking about these guys, make it happen. Thank you again Richard and Tara for making our special day memories truly great!
We absolutely loved working with Richard and Tara Photography for our wedding this past October 2016 in Baltimore Maryland. It goes without saying, but they were beyond amazing! Not only were they extremely helpful in planning the specific shots and logistics of the day, but they were easy going and integrated seamlessly into our family and wedding party. Everyone was raving about how great they were the entire night! We were fortunate to work with them not just for the big day but for our engagement photo shoot as well. All of the photos were beautiful and they truly captured the love and excitement surrounding our special day! We would highly recommend Richard and Tara to anyone who is looking for a photographer!
I loved working with Richard and Tara before and during my wedding. It was wonderful taking engagement pictures with them, it eased both mine and my husbands nerves about professional pictures. They were well prepared and organized and it made everything less stressful. They captured the day perfectly with all the posed pictures to all the candid pictures. Richard and Tara were prepared for the rain with umbrellas and were still able to capture beautiful outside pictures. I could not be more pleased with the quality and quantity of pictures that I received from the wedding.
My husband and I have worked with Richard and Tara for many years. Ironically enough, his family as well as my family have used them for various occasions and therefore it was no question when we asked them to come and photograph our wedding in Mexico. We felt a weight lifted off of our shoulders knowing that they were there to capture our special moment. They are fun to work with and very professional ! We were so excited to see the pictures and can't wait to get our album ! We can't wait to use Richard and Tara photography for many more milestones in the future!
We absolutely loved working with Richard and Tara! Our pictures turned out better than we could have ever imagined. They were very easy to work with. They were professional and relaxed at the same time creating a perfect environment on our wedding day. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Contact them! You will not be disappointed.
It was a pleasure to work with Richard and Tara. The entire process was a great experience... contacting and corresponding with them, scheduling and preparing for the photos, working with them on our wedding day, and following up with them afterwards. It was all seamless and professional. And the photos speak for themselves. Very high quality and well planned photos. I highly recommend them.
Richard and Tara were easily the best vendor we worked with during our wedding process. They made us very comfortable (at least for me I am not a huge fan of standing in front of a camera) and do INCREDIBLE work. They can manage all types of personalities within your family and are a true pleasure to be around. We have gotten amazing feedback from our friends/family about the pictures. I would recommend Richard and Tara to every bride.
I will definitely continue to work with them for any future events I have (babies, family, anniversary, etc).
Thank you so much!!!
Tara & Richard did AMAZING! We were so comfortable around them and they made our pictures look so natural.
The turn around time for our pictures was soo quick as well.
Richard and Tara are amazing!! From the first interaction through our wedding day it was an exceptional experience! Tara was amazing on the pre-wedding planning and Richard was outstanding on our wedding day! They are super creative, fun to work with and their work is remarkable. We look forward to working with them again in the future. We HIGHLY recommend Richard and Tara Photography!
We used Richard and Tara photography for our 2015 same-sex wedding. Words cannot even express the magic they created through the medium of photography!
Let me first say Richard and Tara are a pleasure to work with as they have new ideas and look at the industry with eager eyes. You can truly tell they LOVE what they do. Their passion for their work comes through in their photography.
From beginning to end their professionalism was top notch. Tara answers questions and calms concerns in minutes. Literally her response time is lightning fast. That is really important especially when dealing with two brides! We loved the fact that we got two photographers for our wedding. We were able to get shots at different angles that you would not be able to achieve with just one photographer. The way Richard and Tara work is so natural. I have had professional photographers take my picture many times, for many different types of events. By the end of the night I would always be so “over it” between the constant tweaking or shots and positioning, other photographers turns your night into a puppet show, rather than an enjoying evening. Richard and Tara got all the shots we could have ever imagined and they did this all while feeling like friends of the family.
Now that we are on the other side of the wedding I am glad we went with such professionals. A wedding goes by in the blink of an eye and as cliché as it sounds you will NOT remember everything, and your pictures will last as your memories. There are things you miss, things you forget, and things you never even knew happened. Professional pictures are the key to remembering your special night. The pictures take your event and turn it into a beautiful story. We have almost one thousand pictures and I can honestly say we love every single one of them. Each is better than the last. The pictures Richard and Tara have given are gorgeous works of art that we will always treasure.
If you are tired of the over-posed and unoriginal pictures, Richard and Tara Photography are the perfect photographers for you. They still capture all your wants of the classic shots but they do it flair. Their pictures are never boring or trite. If you want the most gorgeous photographs and best photographers SERIOUSLY use Richard and Tara photography they will WOW you ☺
Thank you Richard and Tara!
Love the Brides,
Marcy and Jane
Richard and Tara are the best photographers in town!! They were very flexible on our wedding day (we had lots of rain) and even helped us decide where to stand for our ceremony when we had to relocate due to weather. The pictures took our breath away and captured our intimate ceremony perfectly. They did not give us generic photos but took the time to get to know us and make the pictures ours. We really enjoyed working with them and highly recommend their services!
Richard and Tara were great to work with. They are true professionals and so easy to get along with. We used them because they did our cousins wedding last year and their pictures were amazing. They are now doing another cousins wedding next year because they are so great! I would highly recommend them!
Richard and his wife Tara were the photographers at my wedding and they were amazing. They were so friendly, and always in the right spot, but never in the way. The pictures turned out wonderful, we are having a hard time picking our favorites because we love them all. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to everyone I know.
Richard and Tara are great to work with. They have years of experience and are extremely professional. I gave them our list of "must have" shots and they were great about making sure we got all of them. They are extremely easy to work with and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend them!
I don't think I could say enough good things about Richard and Helen. We had planned for an outdoor ceremony and reception, and it absolutely poured down rain the entire evening. They adjusted to the indoor setup quickly, and still got our requested pictures done. They even stayed after the reception to take pictures outdoors in the rain (we really wanted outdoor pictures with our venue as the backdrop).
They offer very reasonable package price options (there are less expensive options than the package we ultimately went with). We haven't gotten our wedding pictures back yet, but I have no doubt they will be amazing (our engagement shoot photos were)!
Overall, extremely professional, patient and they're really great at what they do.
I absolutely loved this husband & wife team! Tara did all the communication leading up to the wedding and was very responsive, accommodating, professional, and helpful in working with us to get what we wanted. They created a detailed timeline in order to get all the pictures we wanted and kept track of specific shots I wanted throughout the day. Richard was amazing to work with, was very creative, flexible, and just has such a natural talent. We just got the link back from our photos and LOVE them! I interviewed about 8 photographers when looking to book my wedding photographers...I felt really confident with my decision to go with Richard Veytsman and I was not disappointed! Would highly recommend!
It does not get better than this husband and wife team. So professional and creative. They arrived early and stayed late to insure getting all the best photos. I couldn't be happier with the outcome.
Very easy to plan with leading up to wedding day. Engagement photos are free. They print one and display at your wedding. The final product is absolutely gorgeous. They took over 1,500 photos on wedding day, created a schedule beforehand to make sure no shots were missed. Artistic and original photos, really capture the feel of the day.
Richard & Tara Veytsman did a wonderful job at our wedding. Their work turned out amazing. They are very laid back and nice. I've referred them to a few of my friends.
I was Maid of Honor in a wedding that Richard and his lovely wife shot earlier this year. What I found most memorable about working with them was their laid-back demeanor; they came to the venue and immediately got to work, always staying under the radar and out of the way. No scrambling to grab shots, no frantic bossing of the bridal party, but totally calm, collected, in control, and incredibly pleasant. These are just the type of people you want following you around on your wedding day. Their work speaks for itself, but not everyone with the artistic and technical know-how is as easy-going and delightful. Their great sense of humor is a bonus.
Richard did a great job at our wedding. He was super nice, flexible and relaxed. He did a great job dealing with 10 people moving in different directions. Our pictures are beautiful and I cant wait to see the photo book. We have a ton of pictures and they are the perfect mix of traditional, modern and artsy. They were also the easiest vendor to deal with. I highly recommend Richard Veytsman Photography!
There is not enough praise that I can give to Richard and Tara Veytsman. They truly captured the our magical day. They were punctual, flexible, professional, kind, inspiring, and fun! They were the highest quality work and the most reasonably priced. The option to get ALL of our pictures on CD was wonderful!! They made our engagement session relaxed and enjoyable...and we were able to choose anywhere to have it. They captured the essence of our wedding day in a way that I cannot describe. I look at our pictures and still get tears in my eyes...my husband and I plan on using them for all future events and family portraits and highly recommend them for any and all events!!
Richard and Tara were amazing! They really listened to our needs and wants and were able to capture our day beautify. They even traveled to take our engagement photos in NYC because we had our hearts set on Central Park.
Richard is truly passionate about his work which is evident in his photos. I also really appreciated how they always got back to us in a timely fashion about any questions or concerns we had.
This is the perfect duo!
Richard Veytsman Photography were wonderful. The Husband/Wife team make them a pleasure to work with. They have fresh, new ideas to capture the perfect moment. They truly captured our special day, and created memories to last a lifetime.
Richard Vetysman Photography could not have done a better job with my wedidng pictures. They are the perfect mix of classic and cool. I got compliments every day that they look like they should be in a bridal magazine. Richard and Tara were absolutely professional, more than reasonably priced and I had my pictures back faster than any of my friends who have gotten married this year. Highly recommended!!
