These two are AMAZING!!!
I have known Richard and Tara personally for a handful of years now, and they are both amazing people individually, as a couple, as parents, and as photographers! It was a no brainer for me when we got engaged to inquire to Richard and Tara for our wedding date for photos, and I was so grateful they were available!! From the beginning, their communication was excellent!! We enjoyed our engagement session this summer, as it helped us get comfortable with being photographed! We were both apprehensive with how it would go as we had never had photos taken professionally, but we were so pleasantly surprised!! Richard and Tara helped to lead and direct us with posing and different creative areas for photos, and after this engagement session we felt so much more comfortable and excited for our wedding day!! Flash forward, Richard and Tara were THE BEST on our big day!! They captured all of our important moments, and even some unexpected ones!! They did a wonderful job of staying on track with all of our family shots and obtaining so many beautiful images the day of!!! I was so excited when reviewing our photos with how many beautiful pictures of our guests they obtained, which will help us remember our day even more vividly! Richard and Tara, from the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU, for making us feel so comfortable, beautiful, and giving us the wonderful gift of STUNNING photos to remember our special day forever! We love you!!!! XOXO

Cannot recommend more highly
My husband, our families, and I could not recommend Richard and Tara more highly. We had an amazing experience working with them for our wedding. Richard and Tara were communicative, helpful, and professional. Starting with our engagement shoot, they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos for the engagement shoot and the wedding turned out PERFECTLY, and we received both galleries earlier than we ever could have hoped. One of the unexpected perks of working with Richard and Tara was their general wedding expertise--they talked us through the decisions of whether or not to do a first look, which family photo combinations to do, you name it! They made us feel super comfortable going to them for advise. We came to trust Richard and Tara implicitly, and they felt like true allies on our wedding day in making everything run smoothly. HIRE THEM! -

Alexandra Sent on 06/02/2024The absolute best photographers
Richard and Tara were WONDERFUL to work with. We felt so comfortable with them during the entire process. They were so kind, knowledgeable, creative, and very efficient. They knew exactly how to get the best photos. We had a lot of fun with them and they got along so well with the entire group. They made taking photos a fun part of the wedding day, as opposed to it being stressful. I would highly recommend them for any event, they are an absolute must!! -

We originally hired Richard & Tara before the pandemic and we finally tied the knot in July 2023, so we’ve known them for about 4 years now. We absolutely made the right decision hiring them. Richard & Tara were an absolute a joy to work with. They clearly know their business inside and out. They know exactly where to be at what moment and they work as a well-practiced team together to capture the best shots. Also, their cameras are whisper-quiet – I never once the whole day noticed the shutter sounds, which I think put me more at ease throughout the day instead of being reminded that every moment was being documented, and resulted in better photos! We also had planned for a member of the wedding party to be our “photo wrangler” and call people up for efficient portrait shots after the ceremony, but that was totally unnecessary because Tara had it under control and was an absolute pro. Richard undeniably has an eye for photo composition; for example, in seconds he can see that out of a group of 6 guests, half have darker suits and half have lighter suits, and he’ll space them evenly for a symmetrical photo – all in a matter of a couple seconds. Simply amazing. They also did not bat an eye at a donkey being the ringbearer. When we got the photos (only a week after the wedding!), we just could not believe the quality of the work. We spent hours flipping through them and re-living the day, and some shots just took our breath away. They also employ some light image editing; for example, my hair started to get super frizzy after the ceremony and the MOG’s sleeve ripped, and Richard & Tara just edited these little problems away in key shots so they wouldn’t distract from the captured moment, which was very appreciated. The gorgeous box of printed photos and thumb drive sent to us about 6 months later was also stunning and an instant heirloom. We will treasure these photos for decades and decades to come. -

Mariita Sent on 04/19/2023Would book them over and over again!
I first encountered Richard and Tara when they photographed my friends wedding. Their professionalism and quality of work were equally as impressive then as it was for our wedding. When we had the opportunity to work with them personally for our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. They are both so fun to work with, it feels like you have two friends behind the camera instead of two complete strangers. Their guidance and instructions on how to pose helped out so much, since we are both so awkward when in front of a camera - they made us feel like models and knew they would capture our best sides. On our wedding day, we know that getting through family and friend photos would be no easy feat, but Richard and Tara did it efficiently and with enough direction that we were able to catch up on time when we were originally running late. During cocktail hour I loved that Richard and Tara were there noticing who we were taking selfies with so that they could step in after and take a professional photo. They were also so helpful throughout the day in ways that I'm sure go out of their scope of work - telling the kids to smile (and not stick out their tongue) during photos, telling me if the groom had walked up to the front of the aisle, and (Tara) helping to bustle my dress when my bridesmaids were struggling with it. The day after the wedding everyone commented how great the photographers were, and said they would now be lost without them telling us how to pose in pictures :) And the best part is that they were so easy to communicate before and after the wedding. And our pictures were received sooner than expected. If I ever have a need for a photographer, or if a dear friend or family of mine needs one - I will recommend them over and over again. -

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Richard & Tara!
We are SO happy that we hired Richard and Tara for our April 2022 wedding. They were so easy to work with and communicated well throughout the planning process, engagement photo shoot, and wedding day. Very professional and fun to work with. They took so many beautiful photos that we will cherish for years to come. We were also so impressed by how quickly they got the photos to us -- only a couple weeks after the wedding. I can't recommend them enough! -

We cannot recommend Richard and Tara enough! They were hands down our absolute favorite wedding vendor! During our wedding day, there were a few minor mishaps, including transportation issues and one of our groomsman splitting his pants! Richard and Tara were not only incredibly flexible and easygoing, but they provided a needle and thread to sew the pants! We absolutely love every single photograph taken by Richard and Tara! If you're looking for a photographer team that's easy to work with, responsive, puts you at ease, and takes AMAZING pictures, then Richard and Tara are your people! -

Jennifer Sent on 01/18/2020Amazing, professional, and personable
Richard and Tara are such a great team! They did my sister's wedding and mine. And they made sure every shot was perfect! I wasn't feeling well on the actual wedding day, and the pictures still came out flawlessly! And the turnaround was less than a week! If I were to do it all again, I wouldn't think twice before hiring them! They do not disappoint! -

The best there is!!
Wow, where to start. There aren't enough words to describe how AMAZING this duo is! We are so lucky and thankful to have had Richard and Tara capture our special day! They made the happiest day of our lives even happier than we could have ever imagined. Their knowledge of having poses look so natural, the lighting, and creativity, is absolutely incredible. They are very professional but yet so comfortable and laid back at the same time. I have a complicated family and was worried how we would be able to get the family photos done. Richard and Tara made it stress free and was so professional and organized when it came to coordinating my family for the photos, I was so impressed. We got all the family pictures I wanted without the headache and no drama at all! I have received SO MANY compliments of how great our engagement and wedding pictures turned out! Do not even waste your time looking elsewhere. Richard and Tara are the best out there! -

Emily Sent on 09/17/2018Tara and Richard are the best! From the moment they arrive until the end of the night, there is never a doubt how professional and in sync Richard and Tara are. This was our third and final wedding and Richard and Tara were there for all 3! Perfection!

Alan Sent on 08/11/2018Richard and Tara are the real deal. They did my sisters wedding, my surprise engagement photos, and my wedding. Their price is well worth the memories they capture on a day you’ll want to remember forever.

Deborah Sent on 11/02/2017Richard and Tara could not have been any more amazing than they were! They were continuously communicating with us and always answered all our questions immediately. Throughout the whole wedding process (Stressful, I know) Tara and her husband, Richard, were there every step of the way to keep me at ease. They were so much fun during the getting ready stages as well as the reception. We received our photos less than a month after our wedding, and I cannot put into words how completely breathtaking they are. If you are looking for people to capture EVERY single perfect moment these two are for you. I am forever grateful for how incredible our photos are. Tara and Richard - you two are the BEST of the best.

Melinda Sent on 08/15/2015Richard and Tara were the perfect team. Tara handled all of our business interactions and was incredibly on top of everything! We received all paper work promptly and great reminders about the upcoming event. On our wedding day, Richard was flexible, professional, engaging and easy to work with. We had a link to a blog including some highlights from our wedding on their site eight days later and all pictures 10 days after our wedding. The pictures are beautiful and Richard really captured everything we asked for. I highly recommend Richard and Tara! -

Jessica Sent on 08/13/2013Richard and Tara were great! From the engagement session to my Grooms Gift boudoir session to the actual wedding, Richard and Tara were always available to answer any questions we had. Tara came to the boudoir session and helped me feel a little more at ease 'bearing it all' and offered great posing suggestions. They were both laid back but extremely professional and even got the always dreaded extended family photos done quickly and with little hassle. They offered numerous packages to fit anyones budget and I would recommend them in a heartbeat! -
User903736 Sent on 08/19/2012Richard Veytsman did photography for my wedding at Gertrude's at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Richard and Helen were absolutely wonderful to work with! They really took advantage of the venue and went all out to get some fantastic shots. They were also great to talk to and made my husband and me feel very relaxed while we posed. I also noticed they worked their butt of to catch some memorable candid shots. Thanks guys! -

Kathleen Sent on 07/24/2011I could not have been happier with picking these photographers. They were very professional, and they made things very comfortable. I never felt like I had a photographer in my face the whole night. I truly felt that I had my friends with me. They are extremely talented, and get shots that you normally wouldn't think of. I can't stop looking at my wedding pictures. And that means so much, since they are all that you have after your special day is over in the blink of an eye. I highly reccomend using this husband and wife duo. -

Reilly Sent on 08/24/2010Richard and his wife are very nice. We met with them and immediately felt comfortable. During our wedding, they were very "behind-the-scenes" and got a lot of great shots. Richard has a great eye for what will translate well to photos. I only wish we could have afforded for him to stay longer or come earlier so we didn't feel so rushed for time! Overall I am very pleased and would recommend him to anyone I know.
