Rich Kessler Photography

We felt extremely lucky to have Rich Kessler as our wedding photographer and highly recommend him. To be very specific here were the key things that stood out about Rich.
Style — The reason Rich originally stood out to us was the style of his photography. Rich has very bold crisp photos that captured our attention. He also had excellent timing and framing of the shots. Looking through Rich’s albums it’s not like you are just looking at snapshots, but rather you are actually sitting at the table in that moment.
Price — The wedding venue we used had suggested photographers that were 3 times the price for the same packages that Rich provided. Even price aside, we preferred Rich’s photography style. I asked Rich why his prices were so much cheaper than other photographers providing the same package and he told me he sets his prices to what he felt was reasonable.
Presence — When I first asked Rich about his style for doing wedding photography, he said he worked really hard to remain invisible. This kind of through me off at first, but I then thought about every other wedding I had gone to. Many wedding photographers are often jumping in the middle of everything going on with flashes blaring in your face, or stopping special family moments to corral everyone into a photo. With Rich, it’s funny but I don’t remember seeing him that much at the wedding. That being said when we got the photos they were amazing photos of very intimate moments. I don’t know how he does it, but Rich does an amazing job of not being seen but still providing very personal photos.
Customer Service — With my wife and I both in grad school, life is a little busy. That being said Rich has been extremely helpful working around our busy schedules. I really appreciated his patience and going out of his way to get our wedding album to us.
Tact — I felt I should put this point in here because my wife was a bridesmaid in a different wedding recently, and that photographer was extremely rude. Rich was wonderful to work with. He was extremely supportive, funny, and worked with the moment rather than trying to control the moment. He is the type of person you want there on your wedding day.

Rich did an excellent job! Our wedding photos came out beautiful! He was very pleasant to work with and was very flexible and accommodating with our tight schedule. His pricing was more than fare! Thank you Rich!

I’ve worked with Rich for years on a number of different projects. His photos are always top-​notch, and I look forward to working with him again on future endeavors. You’d be nuts not to hire him!

Having utilized his services for our engagement and wedding photos, we could not be more pleased with Rich. He is professional, reasonably priced, great at supplying what is desired, and fun to work with. We are very happy with the photographs already captured and look forward to using his business again in the future.
