Feel Confident in your Wedding Photographer! This is Your Wedding and you deserve the Best!! Personally, I put my heart and soul into my work as a Wedding Photographer... The thrilling moments of excitement as the bride prepares for the ceremony with her maid of honor and the bride’s maids, to the photo opportunities with an array of personalities, the ceremony with tears, nods, and smiles, and then the reception filled with laughter and dancing. These cherished memories are some of my favorite images that I have captured from previous weddings.
Hello, my name is Yvette Richardson, my father is Russell, my sister, Julie, and my brother is Russell Richardson Jr. We are a team of photographers and assistants. I have been shooting photos since 110 was popular. My passion for photography came from watching my dad take pictures as I was growing up. I remember the first time I fell in love with capturing emotion... my niece was two years old (now 14), and our outside cat jumped on the porch next to her. At that moment her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "meow" with a wide mouth and eyes. I will never forget it because I had my camera with me and captured it at precisely that moment. We begged and pleaded for little Gabby to say meow again, but she never did. Capturing emotion, expressions, and every detail of your wedding is what I do best.
I am driven toward photography as a hobby and freelance mostly through references. My first wedding was in 2000 and I have shot several since then primarily by word-of-mouth advertising. Destiny Photos was created in January 2008.
We are located in the North East Dallas area and in the Canton, TX area. We also travel for an additional fee.
We offer services for weddings, engagement photos, and bridal shots. All photographs are shot in large format and RAW with high resolution. Images are enhanced with vivid color, photoshopped to enhance beauty and improve skin tones, and some pictures are selected for black and white, blur effects, and selective coloring.
Please visit my website destinyphotos.com for more information and feel free to call 469-222-11108 or email me info@destinyphotos.com anytime.
I would love to be your wedding photographer!

How do you
identify your primary photographic style?
I enjoy shooting with a bit of creativity, but I also offer the more traditional. I ask my clients prior to the Wedding what their style is and I adapt to what they are looking for. I do pay attention to expressions, color, lighting, and backgrounds. |
Please describe
any special techniques you offer:
I use Photoshop CS3 and offer extra enhancing techniques to the photos which include: vivid color saturation, sepia toning, black and white, hand-coloring (selective color), blemish reduction, adjust for smoother skin, balance skin tones, and background blur effects. |
Do you have a
media preference?
All photos are taken with digital SLR cameras. |
How many
photographers do you work with?
I work with one extra photographer (my father) and an assistant (my brother). |
Do you
guarantee your presence at the actual event?
Yes. I shoot at every event. |
Do you
sometimes book yourself for more than one wedding in a day?
So far I have never booked two weddings in one weekend and not sure that I would ever shoot two weddings in one day. I'm a highly energetic photographer, but still need a good nap after a wedding. ;-) |
Do you have a
replacement photographer in case you become unavailable on
the wedding day?
Yes I do. However, if I cannot be replaced or my replacement photographer cannot make the wedding in part due to a fire or other casualty, acts of God or nature or terror, or other cause beyond the control of the parties or due to an illness or injury, then Destiny Photos will return all fees to the Client(s) but shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement. |
What kind of
equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
I shoot with a Nikon D300 12.3mg camera, backup lenses, batteries, and lighting equipment for the professional shots. |
Do you bring
back-up equipment to the event in case of malfunction?
Yes. I bring two sets of everything; cameras, lenses, batteries, flashes. |
Do you charge
hourly or full day?
Each package that I offer is built with hours and you can add additional hours to the package if necessary or upgrade to a package with more hours. |
Do you require
a meal break? If yes, do you require that the wedding party
provide your meal?
What's that? I usually don't have time to sit down at a wedding. I bring power bars to keep me going. I don't want to miss anything. |
How many breaks
do you usually take throughout the day?
My breaks are before and after a wedding. I only stop to use the ladies room, eat a quick power bar, or drink some water. I find that once a wedding day begins, its pretty much non-stop - that's what I'm getting paid for. |
Do you charge
for travel?
If it is beyond 50 miles, I charge $2.50 per each additional mile. If it is beyond travel by car, please contact me directly for pricing. |
How soon after
the event are the proofs ready for viewing?
The Raw images will be available for the bride and groom only, 24-48 hours after the wedding. They will be completely ready for the bride, groom, family, and friends(with airbrushing and photo enhancement) 10-14 days after the wedding. |
In what format
are the initial proofs offered?
The initial proofs will be available online in a password protected gallery. |
Do you retain
the copyright for the photos?
The clients (bride and groom) will receive a copyright release from Destiny Photos in order to reprint their photographs at any lab. They must understand that printers vary in their color settings and beyond Destiny Photos' lab, we cannot guarantee customer satisfaction on prints.
|
Do you reserve
the right to publish the photos?
Yes. The bride and groom would need to sign a release to allow their images to be published. However, the entire wedding is kept private. Only a selected few may be published on my website only. |
Do you provide
the digital files and/or negatives (or copies of the
negatives) to the couple?
Yes, a DVD with high-resolution images will be included with the Preferred or Honeymoon package. Downloads are available for the Simplistic package and they are a part of the more advanced wedding packages. See "Wedding Packages" on my business site. |
Will images be
available for viewing on an online gallery?
Yes, they will be available with an online password protected gallery. If the bride/groom decide to have engagement photos and/or bridals taken with me in addition to their wedding, then they will receive guest cards (postcard size) with their engagement photos or bridals and a password for the guests to access the gallery. It makes it easy on the newly-weds, as they don't have to constantly tell friends and relatives how to find the images from the wedding. |
What kind of
albums do you offer?
I offer an array of covers, styles, and pages from Leather to Leatherette, die-cut, transparent, and various colors. All pages are continuous binding with thick, textured, or metalic paper. |
When will I get
the final book?
After the photo selection process (at the end of the 10-14 days), the album order will be placed. It will take approximately 6-8 weeks for the book to be delivered. |
Interview several photographers before you choose who you will trust to capture your wedding day memories. Look through their images and feel comfortable with their style. Anyone can hold a camera, but not everyone can capture it through your eyes. There are many awesome photographers out there. Look for creativity, comfort, professionalism, courtesy, and for services within your budget.
