get to know The Richards

Hey, we're Glen & Julia, husband and wife wedding photographers- we are the Richards! We really love marriage and it’s our delight to help you see how beautiful and unique your love is. We believe people aren't perfect but love really can be. We love the way that love unravels us and makes us more of who we are meant to be. We believe in our heart of hearts that life isn’t about looking good, chasing perfect, or having it all together.  It’s about your presence in the life of those you love. We super love getting to capture your amazing wedding day- and we believe it's the first of many best days in your life together- not the pinnacle of everything in your life- but instead the starting point, the forward of the great story you are writing together with your lives! We want you to be having a freakin' good time!  How you feel while we make amazing memories into art is as important to us as the art itself. Our approach on wedding day is to be as unobtrusive as possible and because we take the time to really get to know you as a couple before your wedding day, we are integrated into the close-knit group of people surrounding you. We will offer gentle guidance where needed but really like to let things unfold as naturally as possible and capture the magic of you, fully in the moment, living it. We can't wait to help you tell your story!

What couples are saying
The Richards are absolutely phenomenal. Not just as photographers but as people too! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and their encouragement and thoughtfulness was present in every moment (in and outside of photo sessions). During our consultation we told the Richards that we wanted to see the joy of our day reflected in our photos and wow did they nail it. From our consultation to our engagement shoot to our wedding day, we felt that the Richards were everything we had hoped for in a wedding photographer and we simply cannot recommend them enough!!!- Megan
Our experience top to bottom with Glen and Julia was just fantastic. They hopped on board fairly last minute and were SO sweet, gracious, and flexible. We dealt with several rounds of changing plans (due to Covid) up to just one week prior to the event, and through our exhaustion and frustration in that period of time, they were such a bright spot of positivity and encouragement! They were wonderful to work with the day of - our whole family talks about how kind and professional they were - and we simply could not be happier with our photos. They're stunning, and exactly what we wanted from our small backyard wedding. I'm so glad we invested in a team that could so beautifully capture the best day of our lives! - Abbey + Phil
On the day of the wedding, Glen and Julia did an amazing job at capturing all of the candid moments and didn’t have too many forced “posed” pictures. Our personalities and the entire vibe of the day, from the sweet moments of the first look, to the laughter during the speeches, and the craziness of the dance floor was perfectly captured without feeling like we were in a constant “photoshoot”. Family and friends made comments on how they were so excited to see our photos as it felt like our photographers were truly integrated in our wedding. Once we were able to share the amazing shots, our family and friends fell in love with them. - Rachel
