Ricke was an amazing photographer to work with. He was very professional and immediately understood the artistic concept that I was trying to achieve with my wedding photos. During the pre-wedding and wedding, Ricke was wonderful and easy to deal with, accommodating all of our last minute changes with no complaint. Trust me when I say that flexibility in your vendors is going to be a definite MUST! Despite our best efforts, and my husband and I both used to be wedding caterers, things will change. We were grateful that we would always rely on Ricke to make the appropriate adjustments. What is exceptional about Ricke was that he was able to create a very comfortable environment for us. My husband and I are not really picture folks, to the extent that after 18 years of being together, we hardly have any photos of ourselves. However, Ricke managed to capture those special moments without over stressing us. What was the sweetest gesture was that Ricke stayed longer than we had agreed upon so that he could capture all the amazing moments that our guests had. All in all, Ricke was an amazing photographer to work with and I will certainly be calling him next time we need a photographer for any reason!!!

Above and beyond doesn’t even begin to describe Ricke’s contribution to our wedding. We contracted with Ricke as our wedding photographer before COVID hit. Once it started looking like we couldn’t have the wedding we planned, Ricke let us know he could be flexible with us, and would do everything he could to make our day special — and did he ever! Even though we didn’t have a formal contract in place anymore, Ricke still came to our wedding, brought a second photographer, and spent 4+ hours shooting us getting ready, our ceremony, and and some special moments behind the scenes in between. We were floored by his dedication to us, even though there wasn’t a binding document to make him so. He was so easy to work with and just generally pleasant to be around. I never felt like Ricke was stealing the show or front and center, and our family said they barely even saw him at the ceremony. He returned our photos quickly, and let us see a few snaps in the days immediately following the wedding so we could get a sneak peek. He was also very COVID-conscious, which was important to us — he and his second photographer always had their masks on and kept a distance from us. And, of course, if you’re reading this you’ve probably already seen some of his photos, so it goes without saying that our pictures are *beautiful*. The way he uses light is incredible, and he has some brilliant ideas of how to use it that never would have occurred to us. I couldn’t recommend Ricke enough. Pandemic or not, he is absolutely a 5-star photographer. Thank you for everything, Ricke!
