The Absolute Best Photographer

Cherise Richards Photography was one of the best choices we made to capture our vow renewal. Cherise was prompt, professional, and patient with a great sense of humor. From that standpoint alone, she was amazing. However, when I got the pictures back, it elevated her to legendary status. The pictures are truly some of the best I have seen. She has an eye for detail, strong focal points, capturing the essence of people and the moment they are in, and what makes a picture interesting. My husband and I have looked at our pictures over and over, finding something new and beautiful each time. We researched several photographers prior to landing on Cherise and I’m so glad we chose her. There were photographers double her cost but she outshines them all. Choosing Cherise to capture your special moments will be a decision you won’t regret!

Non-Comparable

Ms Richards is the epitome of professionalism. She shot my sister's wedding celebration in 2014 and her work was of as superior quality that I desired to have should I ever go that route. Memories, especially photographic ones are very important to me and my family. That's what Cherise Provides...perfected memories.

She worked with me when weather postponed my nuptials and then unreachable differences called off one wedding. This past year she worked with me through COVID-19, travel, access to a secure installation, and cold weather. I have yet to see her finished product, but I have no doubt, I will have received the memories I desired captured by her skilled eye. S. CHANTAL SIMMERS (Rimmer)

A Caribbean Connection!!

Cherise was great! We gave her a few ideas of the photos we really wanted. She made sure to get them and even took some super creative photos, more amazing then I could have hoped for. For the wedding, I was completely satisfied with the whole experience. It was a a chaotic day, but Cherise handled it with ease. We got in all the shots we hoped for, including the important ones of our family. We were able to download them and select photos for our album. We were very satisfied with our experiences and recommend Cherise with enthusiasm!

HIGHLY Recommended Photographer

Cherise did an AMAZING job!! She was professional, responsive, flexible, and my wedding pictures are gorgeous. From our first consultation she was so easy to connect with. She listened to my vision, but also offered her professional opinion, which made it so much easier. I also had to change my wedding date last minute, and not only was she flexible enough to make it work with her schedule, she was reassured me that everything was going to work out. On my wedding day she was on time, professional, and organized. All the things you would expect from a vendor. But what really stood out to me was her, from the moment she walked into the dressing room she felt more like a friend, and by the end of the night family. We are not big picture takers, so initially I wasn’t too sure how it was going to go having someone take pictures of me all day, but she made me feel so at ease. She even got my husband to smile in a lot of his pictures (I guess it’s a guy thing, but he does not smile in pictures, ever). I got my pictures back on time (I have heard a lot of horror stories about it taking forever to get your photos back) and they look amazing. I decided not to hire a videographer, so I was hoping that my photos would capture the essence of the day, and they did that and more. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, and would use her again. I felt like I got exactly what I paid for and way more.

Cherise actually shot our proposal photos and we were extremely pleased to ask her back to shoot our wedding. Great prices and packages and very professional.

I got Cherise last minute because our other photographer could no longer make the wedding. And I am SOOOOO happy that we got her! As soon as we booked her, she immediately asked if there were any shots I would like, etc. As an out-of-state bride, it was very comforting to have someone who would call just to make sure I wasn't worried about anything.

My wedding was last Saturday (10.18.14) and we already have some beautiful shots back from her. VERY professional and VERY personable.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!
