CANDID. UNFORCED. AUTHENTIC

These three words describe how I photograph a wedding. I'm drawn to the real moments and connections that make each day its own, and I work quietly so the day can unfold on its own terms.

Most of the time, I'm moving through the day without drawing attention to myself, watching for the reactions, laughter, and small exchanges that happen when no one is thinking about the camera. When a little direction helps, I keep it light and natural so it never pulls you out of the moment.

What I'm after are photographs that feel honest and lived in. Images that hold the atmosphere of the day as much as the milestones, and that still feel like you when you look back at them years from now.

Dianne & Nathan

“Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away.

I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye.”
