Hiring Richard as our wedding photographer and videographer was a decision we celebrated from the start. His blend of professionalism, enthusiasm, and clear communication set a high bar from our initial consultation, making the entire process seamless and stress-free.

Richard has a unique talent for making any photo shoot feel like a delightful date rather than a formal event. During our engagement shoot, he effortlessly guided us into natural poses, helping us forget the camera and truly engage with each other. This approach not only relieved us from the stress of wedding planning but also resulted in genuine, joyful photographs that we'll treasure forever.

What truly sets Richard apart is his ability to create a comfortable and fun atmosphere, encouraging spontaneity and genuine moments. His patience and skill in directing us, combined with his sharp eye for detail, meant our photos beautifully captured the essence of our relationship.

As we look forward to our wedding day, our excitement grows, knowing Richard and his team will be there to capture every moment with his creative flair and passion. We're confident that his work will capture the beauty and emotion of our special day, providing us with memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

For couples seeking not just a photographer, but a memorable experience, Richard is your go-to. His dedication to his craft and his clients shines through every shot, making him an unparalleled choice for capturing the love and joy of your wedding day.

Thank you, Richard, for not just capturing our love, but for amplifying it through your lens. We can't wait to see the magic you'll create on our wedding day!

I cannot express how wonderful our experience was working with Richard, Derrick and Don from Shuttered Light Photography. From our first meeting with Richard, we knew we made the right decision. They were extremely professional and had a passion for the art. You will not be disappointed.

We decided to get married in Malibu (from Canada) so we didn't have referrals from family or friends. We had to rely on research, reviews, local referrals and finding the right fit for us in talent.

Most couples regard their wedding as one of the most important days of their relationship, a promise and memory they will cherish. This was the case for us, so choosing the greatest photographer was our priority.

We reviewed countless photographers (and their photos) and came across Shuttered Light. We were immediately taken by the artistry in his photos; they told a story, artfully used the surroundings as backdrop and most importantly captured the authenticity, essence and love.

Richard is not only a gifted photographer and true artist, but he is also so professional, committed and caring. If needed he surrounds himself with support and/or secondary photographers. In our case he brought his wife (Des) who is also a thoughtful and artful photographer. The two of them work with such care and unison.
(& they make the shoot so much fun with the best laughs - Richard's is contagious!)

To top off all of this talent, Richard offered referrals for our other needs. Each referral was exceptional and we felt our day was handled by the "DREAM TEAM".

Not only are we beyond thankful for our photos we truly felt grateful to have Richard and Des a part of our day.

World Class - don't miss out on this TALENT!

So Grateful,
Kerri and Kenny
