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!!!! :)

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!

We recently got married in May 2024 and we hired Richard and his team for photography and videography.

Planning a wedding can be expensive and time consuming, so by the time we had to hire our photographer, we were already in a tight spot financially. We almost booked another photographer who was cheaper and promised a lot of good things.

Luckily for us, we got some advice from friends and family that photography and videography is an investment in order to have a great result capturing your wedding day.

After this experience, I can confirm that it was solid advice, but they failed to mention something else; something we learned once we got married after attending another wedding shortly after. It is not just about the quality of the portfolio and technical skills you should hire a photographer; however, the ability to work with people and incorporate guests into the experience as well with a jovial, professional touch such as Shuttered Light Photography.


Since the beginning, Richard was a professional and made the entire process effortless. He is approachable and maintained communication since the beginning until our wedding day providing insights and reassurance.

He was punctual arriving at the scheduled time with all his crew ready to shoot. He and his team’s outfits were formal/dress up, so they could blend with all the guests at the wedding. Richard worked around our schedule, not the other way around. He wasn’t intrusive during our wedding and was mindful of our time taking photos allowing us to present at our wedding, but somehow, managing to take amazing photos of us.

During our photo shoot with family and friends, Richard knew how to engage our guests. He made the photoshoot pleasant and interactive. We were literally laughing and talking to him and his crew about life and other things truly enjoying the experience.

We are beyond grateful to Richard and his team for exceeding our expectations and capturing our wedding day portraying our story. We look forward to hiring them again for future events and cannot emphasize to book Shuttered Light Photography for your next event.


Thank you!

Andre and Monica.
