We booked Richard for both our engagement and wedding day pictures. Richard is truly a world-class photographer and an artist with his camera. He was able to capture some of the most amazing photography I've seen, He can make a simple backgroun...d/venue look classy through his artistry.
Engagement Shoot:
My husband and I are not really picture people. Sure, we know how to do selfies, but we had no idea where to do our engagement photoshoot. Richard was able to give us suggestions for possible locations without being pushy. He made sure that the places were reasonably distanced from us. We met up with Richard at Bonelli Park late afternoon. He was able to pinpoint exact locations and gave a thorough timeline of how and when we will be doing the shots. As a couple of awkward human beings, who had no idea what to do with our hands, Richard made the whole process seamless and easy--he directed us on what to do, but still ended up feeling naturally comfortable and it definitely reflected in our photos.
WEDDING DAY:
Richard came into our prep site, bright and early. He was able to capture my partner and I get glammed up and be with our wedding party. When we were getting ready, he was so good, that we barely even noticed that there were cameras around. At the wedding ceremony, Richard was respectful and listened to our minister and worked around his instructions, while still capturing the best moments of our ceremony. AND YES!!! He was able to capture "THE KISS"! He made sure that every single person in our family had a picture with us. At the venue, since we had a minimony, Richard was able to capture every single one of our guests, both candid and formal shots.
Overall, we will book Richard again in the future! He was very personable, responsive, and professional. He treated us like family, from the moment we spoke to him on the phone, up to the day he handed us our wedding files. Richard was truly the most valuable vendor we had for our Covid-wedding. Everything went smoothly with him! Great job, Richard! You have a true talent! We will forever be grateful to you!
