Hilarious and stunning photography

Rich and his second photographer had us in tears laughing.

My husband and I are not photogenic, but somehow he managed to capture not only breathtaking pictures but also be our guide throughout the day/evening. When our coordinators were pulled elsewhere, Rich stepped in to coordinate all of our family portraits and ensured we captured what we wanted to.

His artistic genius captured some incredible photos of us and the emotions of the moments of our guests (many of which are kiddos who are notoriously difficult to wrangle for photos - but we have SO many great ones now) . He also helped me keep my sanity given our wedding day happened to be an unseasonably cold day (day before was high of 80s and day of was low of 38!)

I will let the photos speak for themselves.

Highly recommend!

Awesome and fun photographer

Rich is an amazing photographer! We reached out to him for both our engagement and wedding photos. He exceeded our expectations with the quality of his work and his ability to make even awkward ducks like us feel comfortable. You can't fake that kind of quality. I would absolutely recommend Rich for any event you may need photos for.

I would give Rich 100 stars if I could!! He was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding, as he was always professional, responsive, and so fun to be around. Starting with our engagement shoot, Rich really knew how to make my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera, and had endless amounts of ideas for poses. When it came to the wedding day, it was almost like Rich was a part of the family. Everyone loved him. We had a very large family and bridal party, and he was very quick in getting through all of our portraits and group shots, which was important to us. It felt like during the reception, he was everywhere. He didn't miss one shot. On top of it all, he had all of our photos for us just a few weeks after the wedding. I could go on and on about Rich, but I would absolutely recommend him to any bride in the DC area. You will be so happy you did!
