"Being a photographer is my dream job. Every time I go out to a shoot, it’s to create art – heirlooms – mementos of my client’s love for one another. The relationship between each couple I have the fortune to photograph is different. Some couples are quiet, relaxed and subdued together, others spend almost our entire time together laughing, joking, kissing and cuddling. Other times, I can see in couples, a delight to be together that is far more significant than what they say or do. Seeing peoples expressions of affection and love toward one another is a powerful thing. As their photographer, I am invited by the couple to witness these shared moments and the awesome responsibility to record the essence of their relationship – sometimes for moments, sometimes for the rest of their lives." - Rich Pappas
Rich has traveled the country as a wedding, portrait, and fashion photographer. His ability to adapt his skills
and techniques to each situation, as well as his love of people, have repeatedly produced results which satisfy even the most scrupulous client. Rich's work has often been described as emotional, playful, quirky and colorful, truly capturing the moment with a modern photo journalistic approach. His creative style concentrates on the fine details of your day with an intuitive focus on the sentiments of family, friends and children.
"In the days of film photography, a very good photographer spent years learning to master the many tools of fine photo imaging. But today, the modern digital camera has become very automated and with important tools for metering and lighting built in. This has taken the thinking out of the picture process and that is the problem - when professional photography is only about pointing the camera and shooting, using volume to chance upon a good image, there is little consistency and certainly no style. Professional photography becomes less about talent and more about commodity."
"The best photographers always know what they are shooting and why they are shooting - before they shoot. The finest wedding photographers know the camera doesn't create an artistic interpretation of a moment and Photoshop cannot make a boring picture sing. The camera... is just a box and software is no more creative than the person using it."
