About

Rich Paprocki is a creative contemporary photographer based in Rochester, NY, specializing in weddings. He'll climb a tree, crawl through cattails, crouch waist deep in the lake at midnight, or get pelted with silly string; all in the name of getting the perfect shot. His creative background and down-to-earth outlook are what allow him to connect with his subjects and create dramatic images.

Most of the weddings I shoot are in Rochester and Buffalo, however I often travel across the North East and the rest of the US. Please note that I book dates on a first-come-first-serve basis and will only hold dates with a signed contract & retainer.

Packages for 2019 start at $2600. For a full package list and to see if your date is available, please contact me through my website at: www.richpphoto.com

Rich has photographed many of our friends weddings and when it came to ours there was no question- we were booking Rich!! He was so helpful preparing for our big day with a meeting and organizing our families and priorities. He made our big blended family easy to line up for family photos and captured every detail of fun throughout the whole night!!! Rich took every detail to heart and absolutely blew us away with the final product!!! Bonus: not afraid of a challenge, not afraid of getting in awkward places, not afraid of busy dance floors!!

Rainy September Wedding

I couldn't have asked for better photos! They actually made me appreciate my rain soaked wedding! Rich and his assistant were nothing but professional and enthusiastic! They were a pleasure to work with and I think the photos speak for themselves. It was a great mix of staged, artistic, and impromptu!

Absolutely Amazing!

I had the pleasure of hiring Rich Paprocki as our wedding photographer, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we met Rich, it was clear that we had found someone truly special to capture the most important day of our lives and the blending of our family.
Rich is not just a photographer; he is an artist. He has the incredible ability to look at a space and see something that no one else sees. Every shot was a work of art, and captured the emotions, love, and joy of our wedding day in the most breathtaking way possible. He masterfully captured both the emotional intimacy of our private ceremony and the vibrancy of our large reception. The quality of the final product was outstanding. Every photo exceeded our expectations. Rich truly went above and beyond to transform our wedding into a work of art that we will cherish for a lifetime.
Not only is Rich a talented photographer, but he is also a pleasure to work with. Rich and his assistant both made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the day, their friendly and professional demeanor put us at ease.
I can't recommend Rich highly enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who will not only capture your special day but also turn it into a masterpiece, Rich is the one. His passion, talent, and dedication shine through in every photograph taken. Thank you, Rich, for giving us a lifetime of beautiful memories. You are a true artist, and we are forever grateful for your incredible work.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
