    Second experience with this wonderful photographer!

    Rich and Alicia photographed my wedding in April 2019. When my sister was planning her wedding, I promptly contacted Rich to see if he was available to photograph her wedding because they did such a great job with mine! Rich and Alicia are fantastic—they created a wedding day timeline for my sister to keep everyone on track and to ensure no photos were forgotten. Her photos are gorgeous! Rich and Alicia will not disappoint if you decide to use them!

    It’s more than photography, it is an experience, it is Art

    My husband and I found Rich by pure luck. We were visiting a church when booking our original date of our wedding and were told that his office was housed in the facility. We were also told how wonderful he was and encouraged to stop by. Rich welcomed us in, showed us some of his work: including the option of a wedding album with one of his packages and his new feature “Gif in a Jif”. We booked Rich and everything was amazing. He was super flexible when we had to navigate postponing our original 2020 wedding date. Last minute, when we realized we needed a second shooter, Rich quickly found us a second shooter, Susan, who was also fantastic. Needless to say, Gif in a Jif was a huge hit at our July 2021 wedding. We were delighted to find that after you send a photo to yourself, you also see the entire gallery which was both exciting and hilarious for the people who took triple takes. Our wedding photos came out absolutely beautiful. I had expressed to Rich and his assistant Alicia, who also is fabulous, that I had challenges when it came to photography and how I see myself in photos. Rich, Alicia, and Susan were all supportive and I felt absolutely amazing during and after the wedding day shoot. Highly recommend this fantastic company.

    Amazing All Around

    Rich photographed our engagement photos 2 years ago. He coordinated with my now Husband to arrange a beautiful surprise proposal. The photos turned out beautifully!

    Fast forward 2 years and our original wedding plans were canceled due to Covid. We decide to have a very small wedding in Savannah, where we got engaged. We lucked out and Rich was available to document our day.

    He was amazing! He was very organized, easy to work with and made the day fun! Honestly, I am so thankful for Rich and his talents. He not only took beautiful photos but made our special day easy and fun!

    Rich is extremely talented and we highly recommend him and his photos! We can’t wait to hang up our new photos! All around a wonderful experience!

    Engagement & Wedding

    Rich & his assistant (Alicia) are amazing!!!!

    I researched a ton & he did not disappoint!!! We booked him for our wedding in April 2021 & he so nicely also did a quick engagement shoot for us also last year!! He truly captures every moment for the day & has best attitude even when we asked him to stay another hour! He will get the most natural shot of you but also will help if you are awkward at posing! We LOVE all of our pictures!! He even had another assistant who did my boudoir photoshoot last year & those turned out amazing (Aundrea). He is always easy to reach as well oh & his GIF in a JIF was a HUGE hit and so fun for our guests to look back on!!

    Thank you Rich & Team!

    Wonderful photographer!

    Rich was wonderful to work with, responsive when I would email with questions, proactive in sending me the things I needed to complete for him, thorough, punctual and professional. But the most important thing is his photos were amazing! They are so beautiful, I'm having trouble narrowing down which ones to purchase. He truly captured our special day. He took photos of moments I (the bride) didn't get to see and it was so nice to have them to look back at. His photos were artistic without being too highbrow and he captured the traditional photos of family and the ceremony along with lots of wonderful candids too. I can't recommend him highly enough and I would absolutely use him again. Thank you, Rich, for creating tangible memories of a very important day! We are so grateful! Candi & Mike

    Engagement & Wedding Photos

    Rich captured everything perfectly for both engagement pictures, and our wedding. We got all of our pictures for both back super quickly also, which is such a plus! The pictures are beautiful and we’re so thankful we get to treasure them forever.

    So professional and eased the nerves

    Everyone knows how stressful a wedding day can be, especially the nerves of the bride!! Rich and his assistant helped us get all of the pictures we could have dreamed of and joked and helped out in every way he could! Thank you Rich!

    Absolutely Fabulous

    Rich was absolutely fabulous to work with. Him and his team catered to us in every way. I love our pictures and would definitely recommend him. They captured all the right moments at the perfect angle. We're so happy we chose him.

    He was the best!

    I cannot tell you enough how great Rich and Alicia were! We had a huge bridal party of 18 bridesmaids and groomsmen with 2 flower girls and 2 ring bearers. Rich and Alicia worked quickly and efficiently together! The day was super windy and Rich knew exactly where to go to find a place with little to no wind! They would work together taking pictures at the same time from different angles making the perfect team for any size party! My husband even said to me that they were awesome because he didn’t feel bossed around and he felt like the photos didn’t take that long. Rich has a very laid back personality, but knows how to be direct with what he wants. He comes in and literally just works his magic.

    Amazing and Quick!

    Rich and his team were amazing! Rich helped with scouting out photo locations as I was planning from another state. His suggestions were perfect and he was so helpful in creating the timeline for our day. HIs team arrived on time and we stayed on time. We even had extra time to get pictures on the beach at Tybee Island, which wasn't in our original timeline. It's only been a couple weeks and I already got my photos and highlights video. I LOVE them, they captured the day perfectly.

    Gorgeous photos perfectly capture the story

    Rich is a very talented photographer. His background in photojournalism lends itself to telling your story. He's got an eye for capturing the beauty of the event, from couples photos to the day of photos. He was also very easy to work with and flexible in all our many changes and special requests. We also used his photo booth which our guests loved, like absolutely loved. Let's face it the photos are one of the most important parts of any wedding since after the few hours of wearing the dress, the perfect venue (ceremony and reception), great food, and all the accoutrements what you have left are your memories from seeing the photos. Rich is definitely a photographer i would trust to capture such a huge day and important event. Utterly gorgeous Rich and thank you!

    A walk through the park

    My husband and I chose Rich Burkart to photograph our elopement and we are so happy we did. I was a little nervous about pictures because we are older and I was not sure what was appropriate, but I had nothing to worry about. Rich knew just what to do, and captured our moments just perfectly. He made our photo session seem like we were just walking through the park with an old friend. I would highly recommend Photos by Rich Burkhart for anyone wanting to capture those special moments on your big day.

    absolutely amazing !!

    Rich was a pleasure to work with from the very first email until sending us our final gallery. Rich worked with us to customize our package that made sense with our day, provided a very detailed timeline prior to the event and helped make the day run very smooth. The pictures and video turned out absolutely incredible, we could not be happier !!

    Amazing experience

    Rich and his team were absolutely fantastic! He made an itinerary for taking photos, but was able to change the photo itinerary quickly and easily when one of the squares we were taking photos in was overcrowded due to a 5k. He quickly and efficiently took photos of my large family after the ceremony. We loved our photos! The colors were vibrant and cheerful. We especially loved the albums Rich help put together for us afterwards. We ordered a large canvas of one of our favorites, but unfortunately the canvas corners became unglued. When I asked Rich about this problem, Rich was quick to call for us to get a replacement at no charge to us! He truly stands behind his work and is an amazing photographer!

    Best wedding photographer in Savannah!

    We were extremely pleased with Rich's photos of our wedding. More than once I have thought, "that looks better than it did in real life!" He's a former journalistic photographer turned wedding photographer and knew all the moves to be invisible and yet perfectly present. He captured all the important moments and then some, which I've appreciated recently as I work on photo albums. Some of our friends took photos as well, and there's a huge difference between their shots - Rich's have better lighting and composition -- and some magic dust, I think! To top it all off, after the wedding, the large framable print and ultra thick paper album we got through Rich were top quality.  We feel really lucky to have been able to work with Rich and his team.

    Rich did a great job!

    Rich did my wedding photos and they came out beautifully! I had a very intimate wedding (9 people total) and was lucky enough to get an elopement rate so it was very affordable. Rich and his assistant were both an absolute pleasure to work with! What is even more impressive is the wedding photos were done in less than two weeks! I highly recommend Rich and his team :).

    Captured every moment of our special day!

    Without a doubt, the best photographer in Savannah! Rich and Alicia are cordial, professional and talented. It was a pleasure working with them. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout the entire wedding journey. Our wedding blended two cultures in one, and they had no problem capturing all the special moments. Can't wait to use them again in the future!

    Excellent Wedding Photographer!

    My wife and I had an excellent experience with Rich as our photographer for our wedding. He was very organized and efficient through each step of the process (from planning all the way through the execution). He also made it a very comfortable and easy experience. When we arrived at our first look photo shoot he had already planned ahead with different poses, perspectives, and locations throughout the nature trail we had chosen. In addition I noticed he took advantage of various spots throughout the trail with great lighting that helped to create excellent photos. He managed to take some boring and unattractive rooms we were using before our wedding to get ready and made them look beautiful through the use of dramatic lighting. Our families were also impressed with how quick and organized he was with the family shoot after the ceremony. When we got our photos back we were more than pleased. We had a hard time picking a favorite with there being so many photos that we loved! There was a wide variety of perspective, composition, dynamic lighting, and overall interesting photographs of many important details such as the florals and some of the surrounding environment and decorations. We would definitely recommend him as a photographer for your wedding!

    Rich and Alicia were Amazing!

    After your big day, you are left with memories and wedding photos. Knowing this, I had extremely high expectations of our wedding photos, but RIch and Alicia beyond exceeded my expectations!!! I have so many gorgeous wedding pictures, still to this day I have not been able to choose a favorite. Rich pays attention to detail and truly listens to what YOU want! They captured all the special moments of my big day!! Even the moments I had no clue I wanted until I saw the photos!!! Important Note.....Ladies, you want his assistant Alicia there, she is soooo Incredible!! From holding the train of my dress and bouquet, too moving my veil and gown into the correct positions to capture perfect photos. She was extremely helpful! Not to mention the beautiful pictures she captured herself!! These two were genuinely nice people,and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera! I am so grateful I found Rich and Alicia to photograph my wedding day!

    Best October Wedding Photos Ever

    AMAZING!!! I can’t even to begin to discribe how what a wonderful experience I had with Photos by Rich. My husband and I used them for our October wedding on Hilton Head Island. We were both so worried about the whole “production” of the photo process and if we would end up happy with the end results. However, we completely under estimated Rich!!! Not only were the photos completely BEAUTIFUL but the process was seamless! Rich was so easy to work with and made sure our photo needs were 100%. I would recommend him a thousand times over and plan to use him again for all my photo needs. I couldn’t have asked for better.... Photos by Rich is the BEST!!!!

    Rich--Don't even know where to start with this review other than you and your team are simply amazing! I have seen lots of wedding photos in my life but it takes a very special eye to be able to capture the love and emotion from the day. You far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Lexi and Matt have always said they weren't real comfortable in front of a camera but during their engagement session, you put them at ease. The day of the wedding you guys came in and did a tremendous job but you did not disrupt our day---it is like you were there but you weren't. The pictures and the video from the entire day will help us all to remember what a very special day we shared with our family and friends.
    If anyone if looking for the perfect fit please do not hesitate to contact Rich----he and his team will not disappoint you.

    Rich and his team really made our day wonderful. We chose them because they had flexible options that fit our budget without sacrificing the results one bit! They really helped coordinate everyone for pictures and got people to where they needed to be. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer in the area!

    Rich and team are AMAZING! They truly have a gift of capturing beautiful scenes during beautiful moments. My fiancé (now hubby) and I were so nervous for the engagement pics as we're both incredibly awkward in front of the camera. However, we were put completely at ease from the start. When looking back at all the pictures from our engagement and wedding, you'd think we were pros at having our pictures taken, truly it's a testament to Rich and his team. Absolutely marvelous and creative photography, you will not be disappointed.

    I've been friends with Rich's wife since middle school, and have been a fan of Rich's work since they were in the dating stage of their relationship. So when Brad and I got engaged, I already new the photographer that we wanted. Rich and his team are truly wonderful and accomodating! They make the Big Day even more special! Rich knows exactly which angles and locations will make the best pictures. He will even get chigger bites for you, if that means a GREAT picture will be taken. I HIGHLY reccommend Photos by Rich Burkhart! They are AMAZING to work with! I can't wait to use Rich again in the future!
