Absolutely Perfect

Rick was absolutely amazing and his pictures were absolutely beautiful I highly recommend him. He did a night time wedding which I know can be a challenge but he took it and ran with it. The pictures were fantastic and they were like everything I have ever dreamed of. We will definitely want to work with him again.

Amazing photographer!!

Richard and his partner did an amazing job capturing our special day! They made us feel comfortable and made sure to capture every image, asking me about some shots I hadn't even thought of. On the day of the wedding, they were active, flexible, and never got in the way. In the end, we received 1000 high quality photos within 10 days of the wedding. Simply an amazing team to work with! Highly recommended!!

Wonderful Personal Photo Collection

Our wedding was small and intimate and our goal was to focus on the people who were with us. Richard did not disappoint in any way! He arrived early and took so many shots of all the set up before any quests arrived, and was able to capture the pure emotion of our day!! It was more than we could have hoped for! Large or small, Richard can take care of your needs!

Stop looking and go with Richard Harrell Photography!

I can save you a lot of time and research! Richard Harrell is the whole package! I truly can’t explain what a GREAT experience we had during our engagement session. Richard Harrell is simply AMAZING! He made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable and had phenomenal posing tips (which I needed and now use on a regular bases lol). The week after our engagement session he sent us a link to download our personalized app with all of our photos. It’s so easy to download and share them. Best part is we were able to order our save-the-date and wedding invitations directly from the app! It even allows you to upload all of your guest names and address and prints them directly on the envelopes. It saved us so much time and they came out great! I was beyond stressed about picking the right photographer but now I know I did and couldn’t be happier! Richard Harrell Photography, thank you for capturing my dream coming true!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
