Second experience with this wonderful photographer!
Rich and Alicia photographed my wedding in April 2019. When my sister was planning her wedding, I promptly contacted Rich to see if he was available to photograph her wedding because they did such a great job with mine! Rich and Alicia are fantastic—they created a wedding day timeline for my sister to keep everyone on track and to ensure no photos were forgotten. Her photos are gorgeous! Rich and Alicia will not disappoint if you decide to use them!

It’s more than photography, it is an experience, it is Art
My husband and I found Rich by pure luck. We were visiting a church when booking our original date of our wedding and were told that his office was housed in the facility. We were also told how wonderful he was and encouraged to stop by. Rich welcomed us in, showed us some of his work: including the option of a wedding album with one of his packages and his new feature “Gif in a Jif”. We booked Rich and everything was amazing. He was super flexible when we had to navigate postponing our original 2020 wedding date. Last minute, when we realized we needed a second shooter, Rich quickly found us a second shooter, Susan, who was also fantastic. Needless to say, Gif in a Jif was a huge hit at our July 2021 wedding. We were delighted to find that after you send a photo to yourself, you also see the entire gallery which was both exciting and hilarious for the people who took triple takes. Our wedding photos came out absolutely beautiful. I had expressed to Rich and his assistant Alicia, who also is fabulous, that I had challenges when it came to photography and how I see myself in photos. Rich, Alicia, and Susan were all supportive and I felt absolutely amazing during and after the wedding day shoot. Highly recommend this fantastic company.

Engagement & Wedding
Rich & his assistant (Alicia) are amazing!!!!
I researched a ton & he did not disappoint!!! We booked him for our wedding in April 2021 & he so nicely also did a quick engagement shoot for us also last year!! He truly captures every moment for the day & has best attitude even when we asked him to stay another hour! He will get the most natural shot of you but also will help if you are awkward at posing! We LOVE all of our pictures!! He even had another assistant who did my boudoir photoshoot last year & those turned out amazing (Aundrea). He is always easy to reach as well oh & his GIF in a JIF was a HUGE hit and so fun for our guests to look back on!!
Thank you Rich & Team!

Engagement & Wedding Photos
Rich captured everything perfectly for both engagement pictures, and our wedding. We got all of our pictures for both back super quickly also, which is such a plus! The pictures are beautiful and we’re so thankful we get to treasure them forever.

So professional and eased the nerves
Everyone knows how stressful a wedding day can be, especially the nerves of the bride!! Rich and his assistant helped us get all of the pictures we could have dreamed of and joked and helped out in every way he could! Thank you Rich!

Amazing experience
Rich and his team were absolutely fantastic! He made an itinerary for taking photos, but was able to change the photo itinerary quickly and easily when one of the squares we were taking photos in was overcrowded due to a 5k. He quickly and efficiently took photos of my large family after the ceremony. We loved our photos! The colors were vibrant and cheerful. We especially loved the albums Rich help put together for us afterwards. We ordered a large canvas of one of our favorites, but unfortunately the canvas corners became unglued. When I asked Rich about this problem, Rich was quick to call for us to get a replacement at no charge to us! He truly stands behind his work and is an amazing photographer!

Amazing All Around
Rich photographed our engagement photos 2 years ago. He coordinated with my now Husband to arrange a beautiful surprise proposal. The photos turned out beautifully!
Fast forward 2 years and our original wedding plans were canceled due to Covid. We decide to have a very small wedding in Savannah, where we got engaged. We lucked out and Rich was available to document our day.
He was amazing! He was very organized, easy to work with and made the day fun! Honestly, I am so thankful for Rich and his talents. He not only took beautiful photos but made our special day easy and fun!
Rich is extremely talented and we highly recommend him and his photos! We can’t wait to hang up our new photos! All around a wonderful experience!

He was the best!
I cannot tell you enough how great Rich and Alicia were! We had a huge bridal party of 18 bridesmaids and groomsmen with 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers. Rich and Alicia worked quickly and efficiently together! The day was super windy and Rich knew exactly where to go to find a place with little to no wind! They would work together taking pictures at the same time from different angles making the perfect team for any size party! My husband even said to me that they were awesome because he didn’t feel bossed around and he felt like the photos didn’t take that long. Rich has a very laid back personality, but knows how to be direct with what he wants. He comes in and literally just works his magic.

Amazing and Quick!
Rich and his team were amazing! Rich helped with scouting out photo locations as I was planning from another state. His suggestions were perfect and he was so helpful in creating the timeline for our day. HIs team arrived on time and we stayed on time. We even had extra time to get pictures on the beach at Tybee Island, which wasn't in our original timeline. It's only been a couple weeks and I already got my photos and highlights video. I LOVE them, they captured the day perfectly.

A walk through the park
My husband and I chose Rich Burkart to photograph our elopement and we are so happy we did. I was a little nervous about pictures because we are older and I was not sure what was appropriate, but I had nothing to worry about. Rich knew just what to do, and captured our moments just perfectly. He made our photo session seem like we were just walking through the park with an old friend. I would highly recommend Photos by Rich Burkhart for anyone wanting to capture those special moments on your big day.
