When I'm not working, you can find me hitting live shows or adventuring with my wife and cat, Riesling. (I mean, check out our Christmas cards below!) Also a really big fan of playing & watching hockey (Go Sabres!!), wine tasting and colorful socks.
When I was growing up, my dad worked at Kodak and always had a camera in hand. That influence led to my love of the craft, and eventual experience in everything from editorial to event photography.
About my work:
12+ years of experience shooting both on-location and in the studio.
Use of off-camera lighting, which allows me to add a creative flair when natural light isn't quite enough.
The majority of the weddings I shoot are in Western New York and the Finger Lakes areas, but I am available to travel as well! (I've photographed in Jamaica, the Bahamas, Mexico, Las Vegas, and Cape Cod, to name a few.)
Wedding packages begin at $3,400

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!

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.
