Siegel’s Portrait Design

I love our wedding pictures (engagement too)! Rick and Lee were so wonderful to work with and very reasonable too! The photography for our wedding was one of the most important parts to me. It will a really long time before both families are together in one place (if at all), and I want to have that captured perfectly. This due did that perfectly! I couldn’t pick my favorites, so I ordered all of them!

Richard and his wife, Lee, make an unparalleled photography team! Without a single hesitation, I can confidently say that their talent, professionalism, and dedication preserved the memory of our wedding better than we had hoped. Richard is a kind, patient, and flexible photographer who did his utmost best to ensure that our needs and wants were met. Lee was attentive, thoughtful, and dedicated to making sure that our day was truly special. As a result of their collective abilities, we now have visual memories that will last a lifetime.
More objectively, their business was easy to work with and extremely polished. Their wide range of photo packages and a la cart options ensure that even the most demanding bride and groom can certainly fulfill their photography needs. Richard and Lee are responsive via phone and email; provide a very quick turn-​around on final products; and listen to the desires of their clients instead of just taking the same shots at every wedding.
Words cannot express how truly thankful we are for having chosen Siegel’s Portrait Design. We would give them our strongest recommendation to anyone considering a photographer for a wedding or engagement.

I just returned from a business portrait session by Richard Siegel for use in a magazine article and online. Richard is a great guy and super friendly — loved their dog, Maggie as well. The pictures looked great and I can’t wait to see the finished product. They are truly talented and do a wonderful job. Whatever you need photos for — engagement, your wedding, business portrait, pet (you should see the awesome pictures he took of their dog, Maggie) — Siegel’s Portrait Design is who I would trust. Thanks again!

This is the easiest review I’ll ever write as far as vendors go. Rick and Lee delivers what they promise and then some more.
Let’s start with our engagement photos. These photos are the best pictures we’ve ever had of ourselves. Rick and Lee truly capture our goofy selves and looked 100 times better looking! They even manage to get our grumpy cat to look her best.
On our wedding day, our bridal party showed up so late that we almost burned through our carved out first-​looks moments. Rick and Lee made sure that we still have our first looks. I was forever grateful that we didn’t have to give up that special moment. I toiled over my DIY projects for the wedding, and Rick and Lee beautifully capture the details, so much better than I thought they could ever looked.
Brides, if you’re not sure how your entire day going to pan out, you need to trust Rick and Lee, as they make sure you seamlessly weave in and out of taking pictures, spending time with your guests, and having a good time at your own party! We are in the process of picking our wedding photos, and it is difficult because we love too many of them!

The quality of photography and emotion of expressiveness within the photographs is what first caught my wife’s (fiancée at the time) eye that made us want to know more about Siegel’s photography. After our first consultation with Rick and Lee, we knew right away that they were the ones we wanted to capture the wonderful moments of our Wedding Day!
Rick and Lee had the utmost professionalism and great personalities to make everything run so smoothly. They were very accommodating to our wedding day plans and we loved the ideas and suggestions they came up with for poses and ideas throughout the day. But at any time if there was anything we wanted or ideas we liked, Rick and Lee were always available to listen and make it happen!
Siegel’s Portrait Design’s expertise shows through within the quality and the expressions that are captured within the photographs.
5 stars in our book. :)

Rick and Lee Siegel of Siegel’s Portrait Design are an amazing husband and wife photography team. They are very kind, patient, knowledgeable, and highly skilled in what they do. Both our engagement and wedding photos were just beautiful. My husband and I are kind of shy individuals, but Rick and Lee instructed us on how to do different poses and made us feel really comfortable so that our photos turned out looking really natural! :) They also have an adorable dog (Maggie) and have a lot of experience in shooting photos with pets (unfortunately we adopted our dog Bailey several months after our engagement session so we couldn’t include him in our photos, but we definitely would’ve!). The photography package we chose for our wedding was an awesome deal and easily customized. Rick is also pretty prompt about sending you the photos after a shoot and we were able to purchase DVDs of our photo files. Overall, Siegel’s Portrait Design is fantastic! My husband and I will definitely consider working with them again for family pictures in the future. ;-) If you’re looking for an awesome wedding photography team, consider Rick and Lee Siegel! You won’t be disappointed! :) :) :)

I just don’t have enough amazing things say about this phenomenal dynamic duo of photographers! First of all, I don’t just think of Rick and Lee as «photographers,» because they are so much more than that. They are two really awesome people who are fun to be around, are passionate about their craft, and are really, really, good at what they do.
When my husband and I started our search for vendors, we knew, knew, knew that photography was our #1 priority. No matter what hiccups could happen on our wedding day, we knew one thing for sure — we wanted to be able to remember it. And we wanted to end up with portraits that will look classic 50 years from now as they’re passed down through the family. Our objective was met and THEN some with Rick and Lee:
From the first time we met Rick and Lee, we just KNEW they needed to be at our wedding. It was clear they have a great deal of experience working weddings and they just «get it,» when it comes to every aspect of a bride and groom’s wedding day. Then, the awesome experience we had with our engagement photo shoot just confirmed ten times over that we made the right choice. The engagement shoot was a perfect way to get us warmed up to the camera, because lets face it, folks, when was the last time you had professional photos of yourself taken? It’s sort of awkward at first, but Rick and Lee put you at ease, encourage you to be yourselves, and then just fade away into the background. I was amazed at how many awesome pictures they got of us.
On our wedding day, Rick and Lee went above and beyond. It was so awesome to have two photographers there, so you can get more shots, but more than that, these two are married themselves! They are in total sync with each other, and it’s really cool to watch them on their walkies as they arrange to sneak the bride past the groom for photos before the ceremony. As a bride, it was so great to have Lee in my corner because she is so caring and when she saw how nervous I was, she knew just the right things to say to put me at ease.
Now that our wedding day is over, one of the main compliments we get from our guests was that we had GREAT photographers. Everyone said how professional they were, and when it came to taking the dreaded family photos after the ceremony, it was actually quite painless, thanks to Rick and Lee. And the photos… we could not be any happier with the volume and quality of photos we have from our wedding day. Working with Rick and Lee was truly an awesome experience, and my only regret throughout this whole process is that I did not write this review sooner! My husband and I look forward to having more portraits taken by them in the future whenever we start a family.

Rick and Lee are a great team! From the very first time we met (which was actually at their house) we felt totally comfortable with them. I even sent him all my Pinterest pics I’ve collected over the year so we could re-​create some and they were so for it. The turn around time to view our pics online was 2 weeks! Amazing!!! Everyone was shocked at how quick they were able to view them.
Lee was so compassionate and warm and made all us girls feel at ease with her.
They both worked great alongside our videographers, families, and friends.
The pictures they captured were spot on. I didn’t even know they were snapping away when they did because they just blended in with the crowd.
If your getting married at Newcastle then you know there is a strict timeline, but Rick and Lee made it work and their sense of urgency to get your most important shots captured was of their higest priority.
If your looking for a great team and a quick turn around then Rick and Lee are for you!!!

As a wedding professional with over 20 years of experience, I can tell you that Siegel’s Portrait Design is at the very top of the list. Rick and his wife Lee are two top-​notch photographers and they have an amazing way with people, and it really shows in their work. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to refer them to my clients.
Woohoo! As good as it gets!
