About Gold & Elm Weddings
Gold & Elm Weddings
Hello and welcome! My style combines timeless, traditional shots and candid-looking moments, blending both to create a collection that feels authentic and full of life. I use natural prompts tailored to you as a couple—unique to your vibe, personality, and connection. I guide you through the experience, giving plenty of direction while keeping things relaxed and comfortable. The way you feel in front of the camera directly impacts the photos, and when you're at ease, the results truly reflect that natural, effortless connection. It's all about making you feel like yourselves while capturing the moments that matter most.
I focus on telling the story of your wedding day exactly as it unfolded, preserving the true colors and emotions of each moment. My style blends authenticity with a candid touch, creating a collection of images that capture the heart and spirit of your day. I keep things natural, lighthearted, and enjoyable—no forced poses or awkward moments, just real connection. With simple, thoughtful prompts, I guide you so you can stay present with each other. The result? Photos that feel uniquely like you. If that resonates with your vision, let’s connect! Congratulations to both of you—I’d love to hear from you!

Best Photographer Ever
We were looking for fun, romantic, light & bright photos that are also timeless and true to color, and man did Rich deliver. Communication was amazing- he doesn't take long to respond and is easy to get ahold of. He was so easy to work with from handling a little last minute chaos with engagement photo locations to us replanning our entire wedding within three months. He made sure our engagement and wedding photos went without a hitch. Not only was Rich fun to work with, but he was a fantastic resource and we enjoyed the levity and expertise he brought to every step of the process. Our photos are STUNNING. I will recommend Gold & Elm to anybody who will listen!
Response from vendor•Aug 20, 2024Wow, I’m so grateful for this amazing review! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m thrilled you and Chris loved all your photos and that they met your expectations perfectly. Navigating last-minute changes and replanning your wedding was all part of the journey. I’m glad I could support you every step of the way, making the photography planning experience smooth and enjoyable. Thanks so much for the glowing recommendation. All the best!5 Stars!
We love our wedding photos! Rich was knowledgeable and communicated with us regularly before the wedding. Rich and I talked several times on the phone to plan out where we wanted to shoot. On the day of the wedding, Rich helped us adjust the plan for the rain and kept us on schedule.
Amazing!
Rich is an incredible photographer that I would highly recommend. He is so personable, great attention to detail, andcommunication is so easy with him! He checks in often and responds right away. He provided prompts when we needed them and captured everything that I requested. He is also incredibly flexible. Outdoor pictures didnt work out for my wedding as it rained, but he quickly was able to identify great spots within the venue and captured really beautiful photographs of everyone. Everything turned out even better than i expected. I honestly couldn't be more happy with my wedding photos!

Rich was very thoughtful. He had input since me and my husband aren't high picture people but he wasn't pushy at all. Made us feel very comfortable
