meet richel + steve

the duo behind the lens

Just a little bit weird. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie, 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!

I grew up in a family that didn’t really express their feelings with words, so at a young age I picked up a camera and fell in love with catching people’s big laughs. I made embarassing YouTube videos as a pre-teen, and took my first film photography class in high school. In art school I just fell deeper and deeper in love with documenting life’s little moments. The art of noticing and capturing has always been with me. Now I consider myself so lucky and blessed to be able to turn my camera onto other’s lives and capture their happiest days. It’s truly an honor to create for my clients.

Think we'd get along?

Back when Richel was in school for photography, I remember being amazed with her ability to capture such beautiful images whenever a camera was in hand. Occasionally Richel would give me her camera to take her portraits, and I realized over time I had an "eye" for capturing the perfect moments. When I proposed to Richel in Italy, our photographers were a husband and wife team that worked so well with each other and had fun doing so. In return, it felt comfortable, loving, and fun for us as a couple! From that moment on, I wanted to do the exact same with Richel and work together as a team to give couples a fun, loving, and once in a lifetime experience.
