Risa was premier in her professionalism every step of the way. She was communicative from the beginning. She even gave me a good spot on the plaza to propose. She showed up on time during the consultation and was there on time and even earlier for the proposal. The photos were delivered timely and are amazing. No complaints. This was about as perfect as anything could have went.
We had such a wonderful experience working with Risa! From the moment we met, they made our whole family feel comfortable and at ease, which is no small task with little ones. They captured the most beautiful, natural moments and somehow managed to get genuine smiles from everyone (even the kids!). On top of that, Risa was so kind, professional, and patient throughout the whole process. We couldn’t recommend them more highly and are already looking forward to booking with them again!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Risa Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos. Both times we have been so happy with the results! Risa makes you feel comfortable and confident. She provides lots of guidance and direction during the process while being flexible and attentive to our needs. We truly felt like we were in expert hands the entire time. Her pricing is fair and she always knows the best spots in town! Her pictures are a perfect blend of modern, clean & timeless. From capturing the picture as a whole to focusing on tiny details, she has been one of the best photographers i’ve worked with and will continue to be my go to for future pictures! We can’t recommend Risa Photography highly enough. If you’re looking for someone with both talent and an eye for capturing the perfect shot, she’s the one!!
Absolutely amazing photographer! 10/10 experience I reached out to Risa to see if she was available to help surprise my girlfriend (now Fiancee) with doing our engagement photos and ways to prevent my partner from figuring out the plan to surprise her when I popped the question. Risa brought amazing energy from the very first message and was very flexible when it came to when, where, and how to go about doing the proposal. After scoping out the location, we found a couple of good spots, and then landed on THE location for the proposal. This was great to have a keen photographer helping with ensuring the lighting and location would yield the best results. Risa brings a ton of talent and experience to her photos. After the engagement, Risa emailed us a sneak peek that same night, of the photos she was editing! This was amazing as it let us share the wonderful news with our people using professional pictures. She then surprised us by having the next 70 pictures ready within 24 hours. The entire photo session, we felt very at ease and playful without any air of judgement. Risa was clear and helpful with what to do and where to stand for getting the best pictures, while also being excited with us and brought amazing energy to every aspect of the engagement. TL;DR Fantastic photographer, flexible, and amazing to work with
Risa was amazing to work with and I cannot recommend her enough!! The photos she took of our wedding are so stunning and we will treasure them forever!! Can't wait to schedule photos again with her in the future when our baby girl is born!
