Absolutely crazy amazing!

This was one of the best experiences I have ever had with a photographer!! Richard did a friends wedding and we loved his energy and work and we hired him immediately for our wedding. Amazing communication, comical and moreover, he had great appreciation for other cultural experiences. He amazed us with the edit. He told us to give him a list of pictures that we wanted - and he got everything on our list and sooo much more!! He knew exactly what he was doing, with flare and fun!!! Richard did such a great job with the venue he had. Absolutely excellent. Trust me when I say you will be above and beyond ecstatic with your pictures and what he captured! This is the most important day of your life, make sure it gets captured in the best possible way!!!! Go with Richard. 10 star rating.

The most amazing photographer!!!!


Richard Emmanuel was recommended to us from a friend and we were just blown away with his professionalism and talent. He's just so easy to get a hold of but also so easy to talk to. Let him know your vision and he'll give you that and more! I even found him during the day helping our florist light the centerpieces candles for our reception! Throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day it felt as if he was a part of our family, he just blended in and made everything run smoothly. Richard captured every special moment , everything I had imagined, made it to the photos. Brides- to- be, Richard is incredibly professional and talented and his quality of work and enthusiasm is what every bride needs. There's always so much stress that comes along with planning a wedding not to mention a covid wedding but it was comforting knowing that Richard was going to make sure he took the most incredible shots and had fun with it at the same time.

Everything we wanted!

Getting a photographer was one of the hardest parts of planning and organizing the wedding. Once we reached out to Richard, he quickly hopped on a call with us and he asked us about the style of photos we were looking for. We were aligned on everything and even better he was really flexible to ensure that we were happy.

On the day of our wedding, he was so organized and was able to get photos in the allotted times. The photos had great lighting and captured amazing moments. He knew where to get all of our good angles!

Lastly, He was also really fun to work with as he was directing us and our families to pose. It was truly a pleasure!!

Don't hire them.

At first everything was great. We both signed the contract, i sent them there money everything was great. But the day of our wedding, the owner called my phone as i was getting my make up done, saying i owe them $300 or they are not coming. I told them i sent them the total 2 weeks prior. But the didn't care, i even told them we got a 30% discount off of wedding wire, again he didn't care. All he wanted was more money. At the end of it i did sent the money he wanted because i really wanted the photobooth at my reception.

Amazing photographer!

Richard is awsome at what he does! He's very talented, thinks outside of the box, super cool and easy to get along with. My husband does not like having pics taken of him and Richard made him feel so at ease and very comfortable with it all. Loved our experience with him and all our pictures!
