What it’s like working with me

You shouldn’t have to worry about what to do or how you look — that’s my job.

We plan it together – You don’t have to perform – You stay present – You get photos that feel like your memories

Kirsten & brendan

My fiancé, Brendan, and I got our engagement session taken with Ricky. We saw his work at my cousin’s wedding, and I fell in love with the style of his photos. My fiancé and I had such an amazing time at our engagement session. Brendan was anxious to take pictures, but was genuinely laughing and playing the games Ricky suggested for the photos. We loved every single image, and in the 8 years we have been together, we have never seen such beautiful pictures of us together. We cannot thank Ricky enough. These pictures mean so much to us!

Victoria

Ricky shot our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn’t be more grateful to him! He was so professional, but fun at the same time. Ricky made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous. He completely understood my vision of what I wanted our photos to look like and got us the beautiful candids and portraits we requested. My husband and I are truly grateful and would absolutely recommend Ricky as a photographer. Thanks Ricky!

Cadence & Matt

Ricky photographed our wedding and also did engagement photos for us. We were not used to being in front of the camera and had never done a photoshoot before. Ricky made us feel super comfortable, and we got the MOST amazing photos from our engagement session and wedding. I couldn’t be happier with our photos, and we look forward to future photo sessions. We highly recommend Ricky!

Erica & Conrad

Ricky was my lead photographer for my wedding at the end of September 2023. He was absolutely AMAZING! My husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, but he made it so comfortable and enjoyable. I would 110% recommend him. We received sneak peeks, and we are obsessed with every photo!! Ricky was professional and fun, making us laugh so much on our big day. Thank you, Ricky! I can’t wait to work with you in the future!

My husband and I had the best experience with Ricky for the engagement shoot and the wedding day! He is so professional and so good at capturing the special moments. We are glad he was the one to photograph our special day. We would definitely recommend hiring him!

Carol-Lynne & Kristopher

We faced a challenge with another vendor, and Ricky jumped in and saved our day. Ricky was so kind and ensured that we all felt comfortable and knew he would create the most wonderful memories with us that day. He ensured we got all the classic shots and sprinkled them with some creative ones as well. You can see the love that Ricky and Kiara have for their work and for the clients they are serving. They were family by the night’s end, and everyone has been raving about them since our wedding day!! Ricky and Kiara, from the bottom of our hearts … Thank you!! You filled our hearts with so much joy!!

Meeting anyone for the first time is always scary, but Ricky was such a kind and talented soul, and his passion for photography truly shines through his craft. From the very beginning, he made us feel comfortable and safe in front of the camera, allowing us to be ourselves, even when we didn’t feel like the most photogenic people. Ricky’s ability to bring our vision to life exceeded our expectations! The way he directed us was so natural and seamless, and we were blown away by how he captured our story through his lens. We couldn’t have chosen a better photographer for this special moment. Thank you so much, Ricky, for your incredible work and for making our engagement shoot experience unforgettable!
