I’ll crawl through cattails, get pelted with silly string, and wade out waist deep in the ocean, just to get the perfect shot. My goal is to make YOU feel comfortable and at ease so we can create compelling imagery for your special occasion or event.
During my 15+ years of photographic work, I have striven to produce dynamic, artistic imagery. I keep my editing style true to life, ensuring that the colors in the photos reflect what you saw on your wedding day, preserving the authenticity of each moment.
However I often use artificial lighting techniques to enhance my photos. This approach leads to images that spark inspiration and conversation, whether they’re displayed on your walls or shared on insta for everyone to see.
Born and raised in Rochester NY, I've learned the best wedding venues and hidden gems for amazing engagement photo locations and have fallen in love with this city! Rochester and the surrounding towns have great food, parks, festivals, minor league sports and is by far the best place to be planning your wedding in upstate New York.

A few thoughts to describe our experience with Rich: reliable and professional, but truly down to earth and easy going. Neither of us wanted to spend our entire day being posed to capture “the perfect shot” while our guests were enjoying themselves without us. We wanted to enjoy our day, and Rich made sure this happened!
"Before we left Rich’s studio from our first meeting, we knew he was exactly who we wanted to hire."

AMAZING does not begin to describe our experience with Rich. We asked if he would come to Jamaica to photograph our destination wedding. He is so creative and willing to go the extra mile. He even got in the pool at end of the night to get some shots of our entire wedding party jumping in! He really listened to what we wanted and then went above and beyond. We can't thank Rich enough to have captured life long memories!
"Our engagement and wedding photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined."

Rich is an incredible photographer and artist! He has great ideas and thinks outside of the box. My husband and I work in advertising and we work with a lot photographers. Rich is very easy to work with and he will make your vision happen. Our photos turned out amazing, just like I knew they would! I recommend him to everyone!

Amazing photographer! Fun, laid back and went well out of his way to ensure we got exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. I love that he came up with creative and fun ideas for poses and was a blast to have around! The photos we received back were absolutely breathtaking, I would highly recommend Rich to anyone!

After meeting with a few photographers, I immediately knew Rich would be our guy. He is very personable, communicative and very easy to work with. My husband does not like taking pictures AT ALL, but something about Rich made my husband actually enjoy the picture taking. Once we received our pictures and looked at them for the first time, I was left speechless!!
"Rich was one of the best investments of our wedding."
Amanda
Canandaigua, NY
Rich is an extraordinary photographer. He is willing to do anything that he needs to in order to get the most perfect and beautiful shot. He was jumping from one boat/platform to another, fully strapped with his cameras and all the equipment. His skill and attention to detail continue to amaze me. He captured all the special moments at our wedding and even the extra ones that weren't planned. We can't thank Rich enough for all his time and hard work.
"His skill and attention to detail continue to amaze me."
