    Lori Rittinger is so talented. My friend viewed our online wedding gallery and sent me this text: "I think those are the most beautiful wedding photos I've ever seen."
    I fully agreed! Lori was so warm, professional, and easy to work with that I would highly recommend her for wedding photos, or any other special event.

    A few things that really stood out to me about Lori on our wedding day:
    - Lori got us back on schedule when the bridal party arrived late in order to capture all the photos and more...
    - Lori was great with our families and very conscientious about making sure my elderly father was not on his feet or in the cold for too long.
    - Lori was always really responsive, and she was great about checking in the week of the wedding.
    - Lori was so well respected by the venue and on top of everything that I felt completely relaxed and confident during all the photos.

    I will also note I'm a pretty detailed oriented person and I can be picky, and I'm just so happy we went with Lori Rittinger for our wedding!

    Lori was wonderful to work with! My husband and I got married at Elliston Vineyards in August and she was an expert on the venue. She knew exactly where to take pictures and when to get the best lighting. She is very quick to respond to any questions and super flexible to any needs you may have. Our pictures turned out wonderful and we are so happy we picked Lori!

    Lori did an excellent job shooting our wedding. She even arrived early, was patient with everyone involved, was super generous to give us rides to an off-site shooting location and to the venue, and used our time very efficiently. We never felt rushed working with her. The best part, though, were the beautiful photographs which we will cherish forever! We love both the formals and the candid moments where our true personalities showed. Thank you!!

    I would seriously consider her because of her attention to detail, quality of photos, helpfulness in suggesting layouts, and service and support for wedding attendees ordering pictures. She provides an easy web interface to view and purchase photos from the wedding. We evaluated 4 other photographers who were more expensive and she was by far the best value. We also appreciate her patience with the long process of our choosing the perfect photos for our keepsake.

    Lori was amazing. Wedding planning was so stressful but Lori was extremely helpful and provided me with some guidance along the way. Lori was very professional the entire time. She capture some really amazing moments and every time I look at the pictures, I get to re-live those moments.

    I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer than Lori! We had a very small wedding and did most of the planning very quickly and relatively close to our wedding date, which is not easy especially when it comes to finding a photographer. Lori promptly returned my initial phone call and thankfully was able to fit us into her schedule. Lori’s communication is excellent, I never had to wait on a return phone call or e-mail. Our first meeting was great, I was able to see a lot of Lori’s beautiful work and talk to her about the styles and ideas I liked. Lori was beyond nice and spent a lot of time with me going over the details of my wedding day and thoroughly going over exactly who we wanted photographs of/with. Being that we had a very small wedding we did not have a professional wedding planner but going over everything with Lori really kind of helped give the day structure which was an added plus! Lori called me before the wedding just to touch base again and make sure everything was on track. When the big day came, Lori was there early and had already found nice spots with good lighting around the venue for us to start. I am not a person who likes to take a lot of pictures and it being my wedding day, I was really nervous, but Lori made everything feel very relaxing and made my husband and I feel very comfortable in front of the camera and it shows, the pictures turned out better than we could have ever hoped for! Even after our wedding Lori was great, she kept me very well informed of when the pictures would be ready for viewing on the website and helped me pick out which ones would work best for our album, which turned out beyond amazing! I can’t thank her enough and am extremely grateful for all her hard work. I highly recommend Lori to anyone looking for a great photographer for their event!!

    Lori's services, according to me (bride's mother) and the bride herself, were all that we could have asked for and more. In the very beginning she was efficient and clear with all the necessary paperwork, responsive to all our early questions, and followed through on every point. When we met with her the first time, she explained her approach which took into account all the pictures we had in mind, PLUS things we had never thought of which made all the difference as we set about creating a timeline for the event. During the shoot, she was incredible. Unobtrusive but always there are the right time for the right shot. And in getting groups together for group shots, she was polite and professional as well as efficient and effective! Last but not least, wow! She truly captured the flavor of the day well beyond just getting beautiful pictures. My daughter's personality, as well as the groom's, really shine in her pictures. She captured those small touches, gestures, setting details, which now help us remember a day which flew by so quickly it seemed like a dream. Lori, thank you for making our dream of a perfect wedding day more than just a memory! Mary DeShaw

    My wife and I were married last October at a private winery in the Napa Valley. We were referred to Lori by a close friend who had used her services and were very pleased. When we first met Lori we were impressed by her portfolio and her ability to make us feel comfortable. We did not hire a professional wedding planner but it turned out that Lori helped us plan out the day. She created a timeline for us and really made the wedding day run smoothly. Lori and her second shooter blended so well with our friends and family. Lori made all of us feel comfortable and she was so positive, fun and calming as my bride was a bit nervous. We absolutely loved our collection of images! It is a great mix of some casual posed shots and lots of candid shots that we did not even realize she was taking. Lori and her second shooter were unobtrusive which was important to us. The wedding website that she created was perfect for friends and family as many of our guests live out of town. The wedding album is beautiful! Lori created the album and we were able to approve the album design before she ordered it. Lori offers a very personal service and we feel like she is a part of our family. We highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a flawless experience on their wedding day!

    Lori's service and professionalism on our wedding day was one of a kind. Her talent and expertise was beautifully captured in all our photographs. She did an excellent job in a very short time frame and with a very small wedding party/venue. My Husband and I were VERY happy with Lori's work. She is a true professional.

    Lori was wonderful to work with! During the planning process she quickly responded to all of our questions and requests. She made us feel at ease taking our engagement and wedding photos. She was excellent at directing the photos on the day of the wedding and keeping her timeline. All of our photos and the bridal album turned out beautiful!

    Lori and her assistant Ashley was wonderful. We did both engagement photos and wedding photography with Lori. My mom surprised us with a sparkler send-off, and Lori was incredibly flexible and able to stay an extra hour, which resulted in many of my favorite pictures of the night! Overall, they took amazing pictures while blending into the background. She is professional, easy to work with, and a wonderful addition to your bog day.

    Lori was excellent to work with for our wedding. We had a budget and she was able to provide us just what we needed to get the special shots that we really wanted. She had some great ideas of how to maximize the space and outdoor lighting. I would highly recommend Lori to anyone for a wedding or other special occasion. She was very organized, followed up when she said she would and was a pleasure to work with. We loved the work she did as did all our family and friends. Couldn't have been happier with her services.

    Lori was just fabulous to work with. We were initially attracted to Lori because of the quality of some of her photos that included nature. We wanted to have our pre-ceremony photos in a botanical garden and wanted to be sure that our photographer could capture the beauty of the natural surroundings, rather than just zero in on the people in the photos. Lori produced a stunning wedding album for us using 60 images of our choice. I am so glad that we opted to use Lori's services for our wedding.

    My husband and I were beyond thrilled with having Lori as our wedding photographer. She was very easy to work with and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. She was also great at keeping to her timeline which was appreciated since we were able to enjoy our reception with our guests. Our pictures all turned out wonderful, the hardest part was trying to figure out which to pick for our album. Lori provided great input and designed us a beautiful album. From our first meeting until delivery of our wedding album we had a great experience working with Lori and highly recommend Her to engaged couples looking for a wedding photographer.

    Lori Rittinger is an amazing professional photographer and businesswoman. She knows how to capture the energy and beauty of people, places and things. Not only was her photography stunning, but her communication and style seemed to be effortless on her part. Once we told Lori what we wanted, she developed a suggested timeline, budget, and logistics to make it all happen, without a single hitch. In addition, she seemed to blend into the event, without making herself apparent to anyone. We couldn't have been any happier with Lori -- she made the process simple for us, and the results were incredibly beautiful. Lori is very accomodating, flexible, and amenable to anything out of the ordinary. She makes things happen!

    Lori is wonderful to work with. We met with Lori and discussed our situation - evening wedding on a weeknight and a tight budget. She worked with us and gave us a wonderful package. On the day of our wedding, Lori and her assistant were amazing. We loved all of the pictures she took. I also loved the website she offered following the wedding - it allowed my friends and family to order pictures. It also allowed me to create a fantastic album of our special day. I highly recommend Lori Rittinger Photography!

    Lori were awesome. She listened to our needs, took many shots that neither my husband or I would have thought of. She recommended the spots to take the best photos. She worked hard and delivered exactly what she said she would deliver. In the end, we have the most beautiful pictures ever. I would highly recommend Lori!

    Lori was our daughter's wedding photographer and we've subsequently hired her again for a family portrait. She takes great pictures, provides excellent, timely service, and is a joy to work with. She goes the extra mile on all fronts because she genuinely wants to provide her customers with the best product. She take so many great shots that it's hard to choose among them for an album!! She also helped us with cropping and album design. I highly recommend Lori!!!

    I wish I could give six stars. It was a true pleasure working with Lori from taking the engagement photos all the way through designing the wedding album. Our album turned out beautifully - Lori did a beautiful job of capturing details, scenery, people, and emotions. She is not only an extremely talented artist but also a responsible businesswoman. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail throughout the planning process and her willingness to be flexible when things changed unexpectedly at the last minute.
