About

Hi. Im Rich, a wedding and portrait photographer from Southern California. I really love to EAT! I probably have the biggest sweet tooth known to man. Oh and is it just me, or does Mc Donalds Coke taste way better than other Cokes!?

I love to be able to capture a couples story though a series of beautiful images but still be able to tell that story in one single amazing image. So come check out my work, my blog, and get a feel for what I do. If you like what you see, give me a holler. We'll get together, eat some sweets, and hang out!

Hiring Rich to shoot my engagement pictures and wedding was by far the best decision I ever made. I randomly found Rich's images while searching though Pinterest one day. When I realized he was local I knew I had to have him as my photographer. His work is beyond words. I still get complements on my engagement shoot and it was almost a year ago. Rich just shot my wedding two weeks ago and I cannot wait to see how they turn out.

Besides Rich being ridiculously talented he is such a nice guy and so easy to work with. We had so much fun shooting the engagement shoot by the end he felt like someone we've known for years.

I will use Chard Photography for years to come and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing photographer!!!

Rich is amazing! My fiancé and I have been following him on Instagram for about a year now and we love, love, love his work. After reaching out to Rich, I received a response the very same day! We met with him and signed on the dotted line a week later. We both look forward to working with Rich not only for our wedding, but for future events as well!

I can't say enough about Rich and his talented eye as a photographer. He truly is an artist. He perfectly captured our big day and we had a blast doing an engagement session too. One of the best pieces of advice I received was- pick a photographer you feel comfortable with and want to spend your wedding day with, because they are there every step of the way. For that reason, I am so glad we found Rich. From the moment we met him, it was as if we were old friends. His calming presence and sense of humor on our wedding day put my husband and I at ease. He knew exactly the shots to get with our family and friends, and captured the love and joy of our big day so beautifully. The album Rich put together for us is unlike any I've seen. It is truly a work of art that we love share with our family and friends. Chard Photography is well worth the investment!

I really enjoyed working with Rich this past summer. He was fun to work with and did a great job staying on schedule. He was professional and prompt at responding to any questions my clients had about their wedding day. His pictures were beautiful and he did a great job capturing all the important moments and details of the wedding. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their big day.
