Lori Rittinger Photography

Lori is so talented and easy to work with. Our wedding was in July at Diablo CC, and we have been so pleased with our wedding pictures and album. She did a fantastic job of capturing special moments and creating the unique album we wanted. The backdrops and lighting she chose were perfect making our pictures look like works of art. She was patient and effective in dealing with our large families, and every one of them was included and made to feel special. We feel that we walked away with an even better end result than we had hoped for! I highly recommended her!

We booked Lori for our March 1^st 2014 wedding at Murrieta’s Well. She was so sweet and made us very comfortable. Everyone at the wedding really loved the fact that they were not intrusive at all. Her and her assistant blended in so well and still took such amazing pictures! We got them really fast too, only two weeks. Everything was great and we are really happy with the service we got! I highly recommend Lori for your next event!

Working with Lori was a fantastic experience. She photographed our wedding last year at the Dunsmuir Hellman Estate in Oakland. Prior to the wedding we discussed what we wanted and Lori delivered everything and more. Her photographs and the final album turned out beautifully. We appreciated her attention to detail and responsiveness. I highly recommend Lori.

I cannot recommend Lori highly enough! When it was time to find the *ever* important photographer I looked at a lot of different people. Our wedding was at Murrieta’s Well and Lori was one of several preferred photographers. I contacted her and a few others, but I was truly impressed with her photographs. She got back to me right away! And she was very upfront about pricing. She suggested we meet at her studio in Alamo.
The moment I met her in person and saw her portfolio, I knew she had to be our photographer. She is so warm, and such a romantic! You can tell her passion for her job. She has tons of experience and it shows!
We met with her one other time before the big day to plan the shots we wanted. She was always quick to reply to my many emails. Once the wedding was here she and her 2^nd photographer were on time and on task. They captured over 700 amazing pictures from the day. They took so many shots but were very unobtrusive. They did a great job capturing what is the best day of our lives!
She also created an album for us, and it is phenomenal! A great variety of shots in color, black and white and sepia. I love it and it truly captures our day perfectly.
I would tell any bride to not hesitate in the slightest when hiring Lori! Not only is she great to work with, she is also reasonably priced, in my opinion.

I wish I could give six stars. It was a true pleasure working with Lori from taking the engagement photos all the way through designing the wedding album. Our album turned out beautifully — Lori did a beautiful job of capturing details, scenery, people, and emotions. She is not only an extremely talented artist but also a responsible businesswoman. I greatly appreciated her attention to detail throughout the planning process and her willingness to be flexible when things changed unexpectedly at the last minute. PLEASE don’t hesitate to contact me through Unilocal if you have any questions whatsoever about engaging Lori as your wedding photographer.

As we began to plan our May 2013 wedding at Murrieta’s Well in Livermore, we considered several photographers who had photographed wedding there. All of their portfolios were impressive, but once we met Lori, we knew we had to go with her. She is warm, friendly, and organized. Moreover, she tries to tell a story through her photography, starting with a series of photos of the bridal couple in reflective moments. She made the process easy as we drafted a timeline for the three to four hour shoot. All of our family members knew where they had to be and when.
Adding to the fun was a second photographer, who captured all the key activities from a different perspective. She worked well with Lori, who led the shoot with a calm but determined manner.
Last but not least, the final product is just stunning. She made everyone feel comfortable and that leads to easy smiles and an enjoyable time.
I highly recommend Lori Rittinger. Her work at our wedding leads me to think that she can handle any photographic assignment. And after 700 weddings, she still isn’t jaded but conversely utterly engaged in making your day shine. Kudos to Lori.

We hired Lori to do our wedding in July 2011. I could of not been happier with the finish product and the process to the finish product.
Lori was friendly and personable. She was very professional and treated myself, my family and friends with the highest of respect. Lori is really organized and kept me organized as well. she had a timeline of all pictures that needed to be taken and the time they were going to be taken at.
My wedding album is beautiful and could of not ask for anything better. along with my album, see made a slide show of the pictures in my wedding album.
Lori is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

We hired Lori to do our wedding in September 2011. We had several close friends of ours recommend her, and we really were pleased with everything. From our 1^st meeting, to my thousands of emails filled with questions, Lori was very professional and eager to help with everything. Our wedding day came and went faster than I could imagine, and thank goodness we had such a great photographer to record it all! Lori had me tell her every shot I wanted, and she didn’t miss one. She was great at directing us as well as our wedding party of 14! She kept everyone in line, and we knocked out all our pictures and were able to get back to our guests within 30 minutes. That does sound fast, but she wasn’t rushing at all, again, she got every picture/​pose we had asked for, plus more that were her idea. We got the package that included a photo album, and once she had it finished for us, it was beyond my expectations. It was so beautiful, it was flawless. Lori did an excellent job, we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
