  I first met Paul when he was the photographer at my sister's wedding. He was great to work with and her photos were AH-mazing. I wish I could have hired him to take MY wedding photos!
  
  A few years later, we hired Paul for a family photo shoot, our first one! :) It was a difficult day for us (husband found out he didn't get a job he had interviewed for) but we were trying to make the best of it. Paul was fantastic. His friendly, positive attitude and how he interacted with my kids totally changed the day around for us. He worked so well with our family and was able to get their personalities to shine through in his shots. We have some of the most breath taking pictures of our family and I truly appreciate the experience and photos that Paul provided us that day.

  I have to preface this with saying that Paul saved my wedding day. No Joke. It was a super small thing, but it made all the difference. This is embarrassing, but part of my dress ripped when I put it on, one of the clasps at the top. I was worried that I was going to be stuck wearing a dress with a broken clasp and worrying about it all afternoon and night. But, nope! Here comes Paul with a needle and thread!! Haha! With a little help from my brides maid my dress was all mended and ready to clasp properly. I mean, come on. What photographer comes prepared for the worst with a needle and thread. We where all blown away.
  Okay, with that said, its pretty easy to tell how my fiancé and I feel about Paul. He is incredible and his images are otherworldly. I am so happy we hired him. He is so good at getting both of you to relax and really focus on each other. The images that we received are a true reflection of our connection. I love love love looking at them.
  Hire the guy. He brings a needle and thread people! Hehe. Thanks Paul! Both Brian and I love you!!

  I don't know where to begin when describing how awesome PVR is! We were blown away by our wedding and engagement photos...I don't consider myself a photogenic person but he was able to make both of us look fantastic and really captured who we are. Whenever I show our photos to people, they comment that they don't look like your typical wedding pictures, Clearly because they are not your typical wedding pictures! Paul is just hands on enough and encouraged us to interact just as we typically would. At first, I thought it would be weird, but it turned out to be really fun. It is so nice having these memories recorded for us. I love looking back on them through Pauls images. I also need to talk about how great he is at wrangling family and making sure that family photography doesn’t suck up your entire day. He totally laid down the law in a fun an positive way that got everyone set up and smiling as quick as possible and then off to the cocktail hour. We are so happy we hired Paul. Now that the day is over all we have left are his images… and they are absolutely perfect. You can’t go wrong hiring PVR. =)

  My husband and I are not the type of people who typically display pictures of ourselves around the home. SO it was a big deal when we booked Paul based on the fact that we both said we would in fact hang his work up in our home. Paul does an amazing job making your feel comfortable and have fun during your photography session. His style is a bit different than the traditional approach and we really appreciated that. Aside from all of that he is an amazing guy, his charisma is palpable and his confidence is infectious. I feel like his persona and attitude gave us confidence in what we were doing and in the end result made us look better in our photos. If that even makes sense! Ha! He was very helpful when it came to scheduling out our wedding and making sure we had the right amount of time to take photos with the best light of the day. He showed up early and even stayed a touch later. Our experience with Paul was top notch and we highly recommend him.

  We initially hired two photographers to shoot our engagement photographs. Paul being one of them. I know it sounds weird, but our plan was to see who fit us best and connected with us best… and it was Paul, by a total long shot. The other photographer was a highly recommended very respected individual and did an amazing job, but, Paul blew both myself and my fiancé away. From there it was an easy choice to have Paul shoot our wedding. We love Paul’s ability to capture emotions in their natural state. He is definitely a hands on photographer and tells you what to do, but somehow does it without making you feel awkward or uncomfortable. I really love how he uses light too. It seems like all wedding photographers are making darker more moddy images these days. Pauls images are full of light and love. Isn’t that what a wedding should look like? He was fantastic on our wedding day and took loads of extra time to make sure we understood how he would fit into our day and what would work best for us. Our photos were delivered promptly and the gallery he sent with them was perfect for sharing with our friends and family as well as buying some prints to frame. We are so pleased with our decision to hire Paul and can only hope that he is available to shoot our vow renewal in a decade or so! Thanks again Paul!

  Paul was a wonderful addition to our highly talented wedding support team. He created some amazing imagery for my husband and I that we will value for the rest of our lives. Living in Manhattan we needed to book our wedding photographer remotely which was a bit of a challenge. However, Paul made this a simple and painless process. He was available for facetime chats with us and walked us through his price list as well as explained how he would likely fit into our day of schedule. He is very proficient at what he does and it is clear why he comes so highly recommended. We are extraordinarily pleased with our photos and completely endorse Paul’s services. You will not regret hiring him, but you might regret not.

  Paul is simply amazing and did a fantastic job! He really knows how to capture the moment and create the most creative images. It was important to my husband and I to find a photographer who would photograph our wedding day in a way that would reflect who we are as a couple. Paul nailed it and we couldn't be more happy with our beautiful photos. Thank you!

  Paul was by far our favorite vendor on our wedding day. He is so easy to work with and personable. From about 10 minutes into our first phone call with him we knew he was our photographer. He answered all of my questions thoroughly, made us feel comfortable about a couple timeline issues we knew we were going to run into and adjusted his collections for us to meet our budget. We shot engagement or images with him at the beach and in the hills for a rustic and Californian vibe (we sprung for the two location package). The images came out amazing. On our wedding day he showed up a bit early and jumped right into taking incredible images of my dress and bouquet. I am so happy I have those pictures now…although I will be honest and say it was funny to watch him obsess over the flowers at the time. ;) (sorry pvr). He is very low key during the day and blends in with guests which is nice because it seemed like we received a lot of amazing candid images. All in all he was worth every dime we paid him and we still feel like we got a deal! We are definitely using him again and recommend him to all of our friends and family.

  It was very challenging selecting a wedding photographer. We are based out of New York and were getting married in Napa so picking the person who we were going to entrust with our best memories was a pretty big task, especially from across the country. We found Paul on the recommendation of our planner and had two skype phone calls with him. He explained everything to us and answered all of our questions in a way that made it easy to understand (you only get married once and there was a lot of things we were unsure about). Paul's imagery and undeniable enthusiasm for working with his clients sold us completely. We love our images an have three large prints on our wall. He was able to make us both comfortable in front of the camera and gave us a some wonderful images of us laughing and having fun together as well as some romantic images. If we were to do it all over again Paul would be our guy for certain.

  Paul is one of the most talented photographers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He was very responsive from the moment I sent my first email until I received my stunning wedding photo book. He has a natural way of capturing the most special moments without my husband and I even noticing he was taking the photo. I will be using Paul as our family photographer for many years to come!

  Pauls work was exactly what my wife and I were looking for. Something not overly posed that still had a editorial vibe and really showed us a we are. Paul shot a mixture of film and digital on our wedding day which was such a fascinating thing to witness, and from what I can tell, contributes wonderfully to the timeless look of our images. Paul was professional and very personable. We had many guests ask us if he was an invited guest, which again is what we love about him. I have no doubt that his ability to blend in enabled him to create all of the incredible candid images we received from our wedding. Our images where delivered via digital link and a web gallery about 3 weeks after the wedding. We loved working with Paul and highly recommend his services.

  If you're looking for a photographer who is going to photograph your wedding in an amazing way then Paul is your guy. He shot both our engagement session and wedding day. He was really easy to work with, very organized and professional, but also very fun at the same time. I've had incredible amounts of people ask who our photographer was because the images are just so beautiful. The images were delivered via an online gallery and a fast digital download. The majority were color, but we did get quite a few B&Ws as well, which suits me fine. I love black and white. ☺. Image turn around was reasonable considering he shoots a mix of ACTUAL film and digital. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire Paul. Do yourself a favor and hire him or you will likely disappointed in the long run (I say this solely based off of knowing I have the best looking wedding photos of all of my friends. Haha). =)

  Hiring Paul to shoot our wedding was a no brainer for us since he shot my sisters wedding… but we would have done it even if he didn’t. A photographer is one of the most important additions to your wedding ever. So we wanted to make sure we had the best, and we had him.
  
  From our initial meeting with Paul we knew we had made the right choice. I was only ever able to see the final product from my sisters wedding so I missed out on most of the interaction with him. He is very organized and very knowledgeable about all things wedding. He was able to walk us through an outline of our wedding day on the spot without a timeline. It was so helpful and key in helping us understand everything and the flow of photos through out the day.
  
  Our images easily surpassed our expectations and I would even say they are better than my sisters. Hehe. His images are so romantic and effortless feeling. I never felt like we were having a photo shoot or anything like that. He is so good at capturing the emotions of his subjects. When we look through our images its amazing how you feel. You are completely transported back into the moment, with all of the excitement and love.
  
  We were so impressed with Paul. I can not recommend him enough. He is passionate about what he does. Clearly cares about his clients and goes the extra mile to make images that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Stop thinking and hire him! =)

  Paul Von Rieter is our hero! Seriously! I know I am not the only bride to be nervous about having her pictures taken all day on her wedding day... but I feel like I was the worst. Paul was totally awesome at making us feel relaxed and made us remember to have fun. We really love the images we got from the dance part of the reception. He really gets into the mix of things and gets all of the fun action and blackmail material. haha.
  We are so in love with our pictures and cant wait to start a family so he can take our family photos every year!
  Thanks Paul! You're the best!

  We are so in love with our pictures and cant wait to start a family so he can take our family photos every year!
  Thanks Paul! You're the best!

  Paul is incredibly professional and uber talented. He gets to know each couple so he knows exactly what to do. We used him for our engagement photos and wedding photos. We are so happy with how they turned out!

  Ugh, wedding photos right? We looked tirelessly for months at image after image of brides, grooms, cakes, dogs with bowties, children with bowties and flowers. So much so that it all started to blend together. I think both me and my husband were at our breaking point. Then we randomly ran across Paul on instagram and both fell in love with his imagery. There is just something different about it. Like you can actually feel something when you look at it. Needless to say we hired him. He was super fun on our wedding day, very in control while still being laid back. When we got our images back I was completely over the moon. They were everything we were hoping. Paul really came through for us and we cant thank or recommend him enough.

  Paul is such a talented and personable wedding photographer. He did a beautiful job on our engagement shoot and wedding photos. He is prompt on photo delivery and I'd highly recommend him to others. He utilizes natural light and scenery beautifully. We can't wait to use him for a family photoshoot. Two thumbs up and fives stars for PVR. :)

  PVR was such an awesome addition to our wedding day, not only as our photographer, but as a person! Not only he make us feel at super relaxed and comfortable durning the engagement session and wedding, but we where blown away when we received our images. I wish I had another reason to hire him! We are hoping to do a maternity shoot soon... =) We took a lot of care in selecting our vendors and I know its challenging to pick a photographer with so many out there, but Paul is in a league of his own. If you hire him you wont be sorry. My husband and I wish we lived in Orange County so we could find an excuse to hang out with him regularly. One more thing worth mentioning; He is super low key during the wedding. He and his assistant blended in perfectly to the wedding, almost like they where guests. This made all the difference to us, we didn't want to feel like we where being chased by photographers all day. We are so pleased with our experience and can't recommend him enough.

  I was extremely nervous to be a 50 year old bride. I didn't want to look like an "older" bride and Paul captured my happiness that day and I never looked more beautiful in my life. He is magic with his camera. My husband and I LOVE our pictures from our wedding. He captured the events, entertainment, and love between us like no other. We had a beach wedding and the pictures look like the belong in a magazine, with waves crashing in the back ground and a sunset setting. If he can make a 50 year old bride look like she's in her early 30's imagine what he can do for you! I can't recommend him enough!

  Paul was absolutely delightful to work with. He took control of the craziness that the wedding is. It was so incredibly relieving to know I didn't need to worry about wether or not the shots being taken were what I wanted. He listened to me when I explained what I was looking for and executed that perfectly. I would recommend him in a heart beat to any friend of mine getting married. He is worth every penny.

  I had followed Paul for years on Facebook/Instagram before finally selecting him to shoot our wedding. His naturalistic style and knack for shooting far more than the basic wedding shots had always intrigued me. We got married on April Fool's Day, which fell on a Tuesday. He was incredibly accommodating. He arrived on time and scouted out the 36 acre ranch where we wed. Some of my favorite shots are of our first look, where he picked a location that I would have never picked; it was up against an old storage truck. While I never doubted his ability, I also never thought that the photos would come out as stunningly beautiful as they did. He made choices to shoot my bridesmaids and groomsmen in two separate areas and I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. When it came to the ceremony, he captured the sheer joy that we experienced that day, and I cannot say enough about the reception photos. We are not your average couple, and I didn't ever want to have just average wedding photos. Paul went above and beyond. I honestly feel like most of my photos could be magazine worthy. We received sneak peak photos within a months time and had over 900 edited photos received within 2-3 months. If I were to do it all over again, I would still pick him over any other photographer, hands down. Not only does he have an incredible eye, but he is charming and personable to boot! Can't beat that! Thank you Paul for memories that we will never forget!

  Paul could not have been easier or better to work with. He's very professional and very kind. He knew what we wanted before we did, and knew exactly what to do to get the absolute BEST photographs out of, and for, us, and was lightning fast at editing and getting the pictures back to us.

  Paul was the perfect choice for us to create memories of my daughters wedding. He spent most of the day capturing the mood and the beauty of her day. He was tireless and incredibly patient with all of us, knowing when to blend in and when to take charge. We have traditional poses and candid ones but my favorite ones are those he used his creative eye and imagination too provoke fabulous ensemble photos that i can't wait to frame.

  Paul took family photos of me, my husband, and 18 month old son. Paul was AMAZING with my family. He made us feel relaxed and was extremely understanding and flexible when it came to my busy busy boy. Paul was also understanding of my and my husband's own preferences and concerns. He spent three hours with us at two beautiful locations that he chose. To top off the experience, our pictures are BEAUTIFUL! I am amazed he was able to capture so many adorable moments, especially because they only lasted a split second with my son. I adore our pictures and can't wait for another family session with Paul next year.
