The Synergy package from Bass Is Loaded and Richard Roman photography is something that our families are still talking about from our wedding. We are looking forward to watching that over and over again in the years to come. We haven't seen our pictures yet but if the Synergy production is any indication then they will be wonderful. Richard was great at being creative since it rained on our wedding day and the ceremony (and pictures) were supposed to be outside. We were able to get some outside pictures without getting drenched. They made the day that much more memorable without a doubt.

Richard Roman Photography is the best Oregon has to offer!!! Having a wedding on July 4th was the hardest day to get a photographer in Oregon, and I was shuffled from photographer to photographer. Eventually I found Richard, and he took my stress in stride and reassured me that this was my day and he would do anything he could to help me out. He is a huge family guy and works directly along side his wife, and we now consider them to be a part of our family. In the end, our pictures turned out beautifully and we couldn't have been happier! Thank you again Roman family!

At our first meeting with Richard at Richard Roman Photography we mentioned our dream wedding was for it to be a fun, enjoyable, and memorable experience. I very truly believe that Richard made that happen!
I found Richard online, and at the time we were living 2000 miles away, so from the very beginning he helped us with the planning process. Although we were unsure because of the price, when we finally met with him we knew he was going to be worth every penny; and he sure didn't let us down. Our engagement session was so much fun, and the pictures turned out amazing, and now we can't wait to see our wedding pictures.
Our wedding day was super cold and rainy, so our plans to have the ceremony at the gazebo changed at the last minute to having both the ceremony and reception under the covered area. Richard, and Rick with Bass is Loaded DJ (also very highly recommended,) worked together with the other vendors to make this happen. Richard was then able to capture all of our special moments from the beginning to the end. Many of those moments were presented on the synergy media slideshow for all of the guests to see at the end of the reception. This was absolutely amazing, and everyone loved it!
From the beginning we were running around frantic, and far behind schedule. Then everyone was put in a very tight space, so I have no idea how Richard managed to make our wedding so perfect, but nevertheless, he did, and we can't thank him enough!

Richard was amazing to work with. My husband and I were very pleased with his performance and how active he was with the photography. Almost everyone from the wedding had a comment about Richard and what a great photographer he was. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to truly capture their special day!

We can't begin to emphasize how happy we are with Richard and Christina. We ordered the Platinum Package, which includes Synergy (which we highly highly recommend and was loved by all of our guests) with Rick from Bass is Loaded. Richard was wonderful in guiding us along this process, extremely responsive, and has an incredible eye for detail.
We saw Richard and Christina at the Bridal Show in Eugene. Their display was beautiful and the portraits were incredible. We wanted a versatile photographer who could photograph everyone 'in the moment' as well as portrait-style when needed. Richard was able to accomplish this effortlessly.
We met with Richard several times before our wedding. The coordination was great (he attended our rehersal, coordinated with our DJ, and provided great tips) and made our life even more stress-free. On our wedding day, and per our request, Richard met the guys at the venue and his wife Christina took photos as I was getting ready at my moms. It was like having extended family there, they were both incredibly helpful, fun to be around, professional, and patient. Richard attended the entire ceremony and reception. I should also note that our guests were just as impressed (which was important to us).
Our photos were posted online within a couple of weeks and were so impressed. They were exactly what we hoped and provided a great story of our wedding day. My husband and I are 100% satisfied and highly recommend Richard Roman Photography.

Over the years, the feedback I received from friends who had gotten married was to make sure to invest in photography - that, at the end of the day, it will all be worth whatever money you spent. And - just over two weeks after we got married...I absolutely believe that hiring Richard Roman Photography is one of the best things we did for our wedding and the lifetime of memories we will have.
Richard and his wife are awesome people. Even from the beginning we felt really at ease with them and liked them very much. We felt like we would be very comfortable spending a lot of time with them on one of the most important days of our lives.
Our wedding coordinator, who happens to be a very good friend of mine, has worked with many, many photographers over the years and she said - he was the best she has ever seen. He knew exactly the right shots to take, the impact of the lighting, where we should have our first moment together before the pictures began, etc. They thought of everything AND were really fun.
Over and over on the night of our wedding - people continuously commented on the level of professionalism of the photographers, as well as how laid back and down to earth they were. I could honestly wax poetic for a very long time about Richard. My husband was initially hesitant to spend much money on photography and he is the first to admit now that it was money very well spent.
I can't imagine a better photographer out there - they helped make ours a truly magical day and we have incredible photographs for the rest of our lives. One last thing - definitely book Bass Is Loaded DJ with Richard - the two of them make an amazing video of the vows and the time leading up to the ceremony. I initially told them - no way - it felt far too cheesy. And now it feels like one of the smartest things we did!!
Thanks, Richard - you're the best!

It didn't take us long once we met Richard and Christina to decide that they were going to be the perfect fit for us and for our wedding. I dragged my husband around to all of the Oregon wedding shows in search for our vendors, and he showed the first sparks of enthusiasm when we found Richard Roman Photography. They conducted themselves with utmost class, professionalism, and their passion for their work was extremely obvious. We immediately felt at ease and confident in their ability to make our wedding the most memorable day of our lives.
We received nothing but compliments from our guests about how wonderful our photographers were. They made my day as a bride so easy and between the two of them, they caught so many moments that I didn't notice throughout the day. Everything goes so fast, and without them, I would have missed so many wonderful details. It was such a joy to go through our photos (and there were A LOT to look through!) a month later and remember all of the fantastic memories. The quality of their work takes wedding photography to a whole new level. I can't even begin to explain how happy we were with their work. We will be forever grateful to them every time we remember that day!

Richard Roman Photography is a talented, professional and experienced company. I met Richard at a wedding show and instantly fell in love with his work and style of photography. My husband is the in the military and Richard offers a generous discount for all service members! Richard gave us his advice based on the vast knowledge he's gained from being in the business, but let us make all of our own decisions. My husband and I both were so pleased with the amount of pictures we had to choose from and the great quality of each. However, because we had plenty of images to choose from we took our time in deciding which images we wanted in our album. Because of this we were dubbed "procrastinators" and put on the back burner. It has been almost a year since my wedding and I have yet to get any wedding pictures from Richard.

Richard and Christina are great!! My husband and I saw them at a wedding show and both really fell in love with their beautiful work and felt really comfortable talking with him. Being on a wedding budget, we were a little hesitant on the price, but after interviewing other photographers, Richard was still the only one we both felt comfortable with and felt we could trust to do a quality job. It is your wedding day, and it is so important to have a great photographer who captures every little moment so that in the future, you can look thru your albumn and feel like your big day was just yesterday. Not only did we love the way the pictures of us turned out, they captured many great candid moments of both the bridal party, and our guests throughout the wedding reception. We highly recommend Richard and Christina to do your professional pictures. They are a great team and had everything to offer AND more for what we were looking for in a photographer. We cant wait to see how our Italian Wedding albumn turns out, and we will definatley hire them again the next time we get professional pictures taken. Thanks Romans!! :)

I selected Richard Roman Photography after meeting both Richard and Cristina at the Eugene Bridal Show. I gathered giant bags full of information, sample photos, price sheets, album choices, and countless other pamphlets from every photographer vendor at the bridal show. Days after, my fiance *at the time* and I reviewed everything together and decided upon Richard Roman Photography to shoot our wedding. My fiance wasn't at the bridal show, and thus made his choice from what he could see in the quality of work from the things I took home from the show. I made my decision 3 seconds after meeting both of the Roman's in Eugene. From the moment I walked into their vendor stall I knew that the type of photography I was viewing was of the quality I wanted to be able to share with my husband and people to come, years after the event took place. Both Richard and his wife represented their company in a fun, passionate, and professional manner both at that first meeting, all of our meetings to come, at the event, and it is continuing in their contact with us even today. They were able to listen to our ideas, concerns, and hopes for our special day, and they made us feel relaxed and comfortable throughout our experience. They worked with us on a budget, a photo style, met with us at our convenience, and helped us turn our dreams and hopes into a reality. Our event was close to Portland, and they willingly made the trek up there from Eugene. When they sent us the link to view our photos, and we had looked through them all, we were SO happy that we had chosen them to shoot our wedding. I have never felt so pretty before as I did at our wedding, and because we chose Richard Roman Photography, I will be able to feel that way everytime I look at our album.

Richard and Cristina Roman/Richard Roman Photography captured the emotion and spirit of the wedding of our dreams! My husband-to-be knew Richard and Cristina personally, and when Richard showed me his fashion photography portfolio at our first meeting, I was sold--ever since I was a little girl, I have loved the posing, styling and focus of fashion photography.
Richard scouted our venues both with us and on his own to ensure we took full advantage of the ceremony and reception locations (Owen Rose Garden and 5th Street Public Market, both in Eugene). Richard shot our engagement photos at Hendricks Park, also in Eugene, and Richard and Cristina shot the “preparation” photos at our separate locations. They had great ideas and kept us to the schedule they’d prepared in advance, but they were never intrusive and we had plenty of quality private time with our family and bridal party members before the Big Moment. Looking back, I don’t remember seeing them at certain times, but I have the beautiful evidence that they were...everywhere! (I can’t think of a better qualification of a photography team: they blend in and yet catch all of the action. I have been to plenty of weddings where just one photographer stands out like a sore thumb amid the party-goers.) Richard and Cristina also have a knack of getting anxious brides, flighty mothers, grumpy flower girls, grouchy grooms' attendants, and happy, shining children all to smile like they mean it...no small feat! :-)
Richard provided an online portfolio of our wedding day photos within a month, right on schedule, and I have been blown away by the quality and quantity of the photos. I truly could not believe they got all of the shots they did--for example, I would have sworn that both Cristina and Richard were taking formal bridal party photos while the guests were being seated, and yet there are the photos of our ushers taking guests down the aisle! I had been concerned about the quality of the photos after nightfall, and yet the depth of color, contrast and brightness of every photo came out so beautifully. I still have not had time to view each and every photo they took, and I cannot wait for the “big screen” viewing party! The true value in hiring Richard Roman Photography is knowing that this once-in-a-lifetime event will be documented in style by true professionals who know how to bring out the beauty and essence of this most important commitment of our lives.

Richard Roman rocks my world. I looked for a local photographer FOREVER and could not find one I liked. I went to the bridal shows in Redmond, Portland, AND Eugene to find a photographer and nobody was quite what I was looking for. They were cheesy, over priced, bad packages, or just plain bad photography. When I found Richard Roman's website I knew I liked the photography, but that is really only half of the battle. I had to like the photographer too. After all, he was going to follow me around ALL DAY on the most important day of my life! Not to mention the engagement shoot where I have to kiss my now-husband and act like the photographer isn't there! So I needed to like the photographer! And I did. Richard and his wife were amazing! They were funny, kind, outgoing, and understanding. They were always available to answer my questions and since they have seen millions of weddings, they had plenty of recommendations! We went to there house a couple of times to plan the big event, and they made sure we discussed all of the key shots we wanted! During the big day, I hardly even noticed Richard and his assistant. Richard was climbing in the bushes to get that shot of our faces while the pastor spoke to us, and laying in the grass to get the shot of me and my bridesmaids huddled around. There wasn't one shot he wasn't willing to get! He even got a shot of the groomsmen jumping up in the air like the car commercial with their shadows perfectly lit on the grass in front of them. We get compliments on that shot ALL THE TIME! Needless to say, we got along GREAT with Richard, and his work was to die for. I wouldn't have chosen another photographer even if it was given to me for free.
THANKS RICHARD!!!!!

Richard was exceptional! From the first meeting to the 'big day' I know that they were listening to Nick and I and were wanting to make our day as special as possible. Throughout the whole experience we all grew to be good friends. Our pictures are absolutely amazing, we have received multiple compliments. During our event Richard and Lori stayed as long as everyone else to make sure they captured all the action, emotion, and memories. I would recommend Richard Roman Photography to anyone, and already have. Richard makes you feel like family, and he truly wants to make your experience a memorable one.
