Fact 1


I grew up in the Hudson Valley and bounced around the Northeast, so I get the vibe here—it’s gorgeous, and that beauty adds so much character to every shot I take.

Fact 2


I got stranded in Switzerland for three weeks thanks to an Icelandic volcano! But not all my travel stories are that wild. I’ve hit up 40 U.S. states and explored all over Europe, and those adventures have taught me to really appreciate different perspectives and the stories people bring to the table.

Fact 3


When I'm not behind the camera, I'm with my better half, Courtney—we’ve been together longer than we’ve been hitched! We’ve got our little star, Ellie plus our three dogs, Georgie, Emmie, and Gracie, bringing the energy. This close-knit fam is all love, and it inspires every moment I capture.

Fact 4


I used to be a marketing executive —MBA, suits, boardrooms, the whole deal. But eventually, I followed my gut, swapped the suits for a camera bag, and traded boardrooms for wedding venues and scenic backdrops. No regrets! My marketing background? It helps me understand what people want and how to tell their stories through real, authentic photography.

What sets me apart:

Portrait of a wedding photographer

I. Its about you.

This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about You. Forget about posing and feeling stiff in front of the camera. Imagine going on a walk with an old friend, who just happens to have a camera with them. My process is free and flowy, and my only goal is to capture your true self - candid, intimate, and authentic.

II. Professionalism.

You can trust me to keep it professional every step of the way and provide a faster turnaround so you won’t be left hanging on those pictures.

III. Not just photos.

I’ve got you covered from start to finish—helping with timelines, giving tips on looking fab in front of the camera, and ensuring everything runs smoothly. I’m here for you every step of the way.

KIND WORDS

Dianne Rella


“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.”
