About
Hello, I'm Rich... I’m a wedding photographer for couples who want their day to feel natural, meaningful, and true to who they are. From palliative care nursing to raising twins, I’ve learned to bring a grounded and intuitive presence to every moment. I know when to offer subtle direction and when to step back and let moments unfold. What I care most about is keeping couples at ease and fully in the moment, allowing the true story of your day to shine through in the images — the way your eyes meet, the unforced laughter, and the genuine joy of simply being present with each other.
My approach is centered on photographing real connection. I focus more on using natural prompts instead of stiff direction—so your images feel honest, emotional, and true to life. My editing is clean and timeless, preserving natural skin tones and the feeling of the day. I’m drawn to couples who embrace non-tradition and I pay close attention to how you interact with your guests, capturing candid moments that reflect the joy and fun of your celebration.
If this feels like the experience you want, send me a message.
