Engagement and Wedding Photos - J&D

The Shuttered Light Photography team was beyond amazing! They took both our engagement and wedding day photos, they were professional, detailed about deliverables, timelines, and open to us sharing some of our must have detailed shots. Not once did we feel like there wasn't enough communication. Thank you so much for capturing our big day!

Highly recommend!

Richard and his team were incredible from start to finish. From our very first consultation, Richard was thoughtful and thorough, making us feel confident that our vision for the day was fully understood.

On our wedding day, we did not have to direct the team at all. They knew exactly what to do and handled everything seamlessly, which allowed us to relax and truly enjoy every moment. When unexpected rain arrived, they were completely prepared and adapted effortlessly. With props, lighting, and a keen eye for the best shots, they turned what could have been a challenge into some of our most stunning photos. We honestly would not have changed a thing.

Throughout the day, their calm and confident presence made us feel completely comfortable. The recap video and photos were especially meaningful and allowed us to relive our special day. We are incredibly thankful for all the moments Richard and his team captured.

We would highly recommend Richard and his team for any event. They exceeded our expectations and we could not be happier with our experience.

Loved having Shuttered Light a part of our wedding!

My wife and I absolutely loved Richard and his team and having them a part of our wedding. From the very first consultation call to the day of the wedding, Richard was a true professional and we could not imagine having anyone else a part of our vendor team.

Richard and his team worked seamlessly and captured every important moment without us having to tell them what we wanted or where to go. Their experience and knowledge of how to perform on the day of the wedding showed in every decision and movement. They were loved by not just us but by our bridal party, family, and friends.

We highly recommend getting the highlight video of the day and the movie of the day to be able relive the special day over and over again. The way they edit the videos is truly special and personalized to our personalities!

We highly recommend Shuttered Light to anyone looking for video services and wanting to capture unforgettable memories.

Thank you again Richard and Team! Truly the best in the best business!

Prompt, Professional, and Passionate

Wedding planning can be absolutely overwhelming, especially when searching for the perfect vendor. I had discovered Shuttered Light Photography & Video at a special events showcase and after speaking with the team and viewing examples of their work, I knew I had to have their photography services for my wedding and I'm so incredibly happy I did.

Shuttered Light Photography & Video went above and beyond since day one. Richard was incredibly thoughtful and communicative throughout the entire process; accommodating our preferences and schedule accordingly.

For the day of the wedding, our photographer Derrick was very thorough, professional, and wonderful to work with. He captured every special moment and detail of our wedding. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful and really let us relive the joyous memories from that special day.

If you're in need of a photographer or videographer for an event, I highly recommend Ricard and his amazing team at Shuttered Light Photography & Video.

It was Golden!

Shuttered Light Photography did an absolutely amazing job documenting my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary! Richard, who also happens to be my long-time friend since high school, went above and beyond from start to finish.

They were so organized during the planning stage, patient and thoughtful in directing my folks, and truly captured the heart and joy of the celebration. Every photo reflected the love and warmth of the day. You can really tell they care deeply about their craft and their clients.

Thank you for going the extra mile and giving our family such beautiful memories to treasure forever! Highly recommend Shuttered Light Photography for any milestone event.

Amazing Team!

I cant even begin to express how much I appreciate Shuttered Light Photography. Richard and his team went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for our daughter's 18th birthday. They were incredibly patient and made sure to capture everything. They went above and beyond their photography services and even helped with some party planning. The printing services were fast, efficient, and well made. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who has a special event.

Best Overall Experience

We booked Shuttered Light Photography as our wedding photographer and couldn't have been happier with our experience and our photos. From our first interactions via email, they were very friendly and easy to talk to. His communication before our big day was excellent and made us feel very at ease. He captured our wedding memories more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. We'll always be so grateful that they were able to document our special day—we couldn't imagine a better wedding photographer if we tried

Do not hesitate to book this photographer!!! 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I was completely impressed how professional Richard Fadera & his assistant on our wedding day 🥹❤️Let me tell you that i struggled to find a photographer/videographer but as soon as I started talking and planning with him, he made me and my husband feel so comfortable. By the way my husband is completely introvert— he doesn’t like taking pictures and stuff but he said that he enjoyed working with his team and our photos turn out amazing!!! 🤩
THANK YOU VERY MUCH Shuttered Light Photography and Video for capturing small and big details on our wedding day! We will definitely book more sessions with you guys 😘💕🎥🎞️📸 #bestphotographer

One of the BEST Decisions We Made for our Wedding Day!

An EASY 5 out of 5 stars!!!!

I had the privilege of working with Richard and his team as a wedding coordinator and loved collaborating with them. Their photography and videography for the wedding was absolutely beautiful - TOP QUALITY!!
I knew that if I got married one day, I would love to have them as my wedding photographer. A few years later, I got engaged and introduced my fiancé (now husband) to Richard and his work; it was an EASY and QUICK "YES" to hire him for his services for our wedding day!

There's honestly too many great things to say about Richard and his team, but I will sum it up with a few things that I want to share with other potential clients:

1) Richard and his team CARE about what's important to you: my husband and I had a long list of pictures we wanted taken at our wedding, including specific groups shots as well as specific wedding decor shots (including ALL of our centerpieces because they were all different). Richard and his team went out of their way to make sure they took all the pics we asked for; they all looked INCREDIBLE! We were soo pleased with the results :)

2) Richard and his team are extremely FRIENDLY, PATIENT, and PERFECT to work with on your special day! :) One tip I always tell my bridal couples is that you want to hire a photographer not only because you love their work, but also because you like and work well with their personality. Because you spend most of the day with your photographer, you want them to create an environment for you, your family, friends, and bridal party that is enjoyable, fun, and stress-free! Richard and his team did EXACTLY that for our wedding day! I had SO many compliments from our bridal party, friends, and family members on how they enjoyed having Richard and his team taking our pics and having them around. It made taking 100s of pics a memorable experience in a GREAT way :) They were even flexible in having specific guests steal them away for group pics with us (bride and groom), helping us document more memorable moments of our special day :)

3) While Richard and his team took EXCELLENT pics of my husband and me (and all the other typical wedding shots), they took a lot of GREAT pics of our guests throughout the evening - poised and unpoised. It made me and my husband feel that we got to enjoy and be more a part of our wedding than we could the day of (because of just being so busy). We LOVED sharing these pics with our family and friends :) We def recommend hiring their additional photographers for the day of so that they can capture even MORE wonderful moments of the wedding day!

Hiring Shuttered Lights Photography for our wedding day was one of the BEST decisions we made. Richard and his team are EXCELLENT at what they do - you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Thank you again Richard and Team for helping us create many great memories of one of the most important days of our lives :) We are so grateful and appreciate you all!!!! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
