About Gold & Elm Weddings

Gold & Elm Weddings

True-to-Life Colors Photos

Hello, I’m Rich! With 8 years of experience, my focus is on bringing out the best in my couples. Before capturing weddings, I was a palliative care nurse for several years. In both my career as a nurse and now as a photographer, I have experienced the biggest moments of people’s lives, and it’s an honor to be there for them.

I believe the way you feel during a photoshoot shines through in your images. My approach? Let’s call it “unposed posing.” I’ll use lighthearted prompts to help you relax and forget the camera is even there. I offer plenty of guidance and direction when needed, too. I want couples to remember the emotions they felt when looking back at their photos. -- Looking to find out more? Check out my website for full galleries and more info now.

    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!

    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.

    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
