meet richel
Just a little bit weird, enough to keep it interesting. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people then I absolutely can't stop myself from yapping. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie like when Moana's grandma visits her when she's at sea and basically all of Inside Out (1 and 2), and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.
Hi, I'm Richel!
A big part of life for me is the overall experience. If I have to do something, I want it to be as enjoyable as possible whether that's running errands or helping you plan your wedding day. That's why experience is at the heart of all my photography packages. From our first call, the engagement session, and leading up to the big day- I want you to feel heard and seen. Throughout our time together I will be patient and take my time to really understand you and your partner and all the little things about your story that got you to this point in life where you're getting married to each other!! That's a big freaking deal and SO exciting! From welcome emails and a fun welcome gift in the mail, all our check ins (communication is super important to me!), to creating your first family heirloom- every step of the way I'll be there to celebrate you both.
Think we'd get along?

"I could not possibly recommend Richel enough. Working with her was the most stress relieving part of wedding planning and execution. She was beyond kind, diligent, and simply so fun. Our engagement shoot was an absolute blast, and she was such a trooper with all of our requests. On our wedding day she was so precise and made family & formal photos such a breeze. Her work is genuinely flawless, and her artistic vision is a testament to the creativity God crafted her with. Truly, she was a blessing to us, and I would choose her a thousand times over. I am so glad I entrusted her to capture the moments my husband and I will look back on for a lifetime and show to our kids someday. 5 stars is not enough to praise her for her excellent work. We are so thankful and look forward to working with her again in the future."
