Richard Haick Photography

We tried to book Richard for our wedding — but he was already booked at the same time. We love his work (absolutely stunning and shows such individuality). What we discovered is how incredibly nice and helpful he is. He went out of his way to find us a photographer who was available, and checked in with us to make sure all was good. If he does that for almost-​clients, I can only imagine how awesome he would be to work with.

Richard is fantastic! He drove all the way to Tahoe for our wedding! Great communication ahead of time, got there in plenty of time for the stressed out bride to breathe easy that he was in town. He took lots of very professional photos, got lots of beautiful family photos… (which had alot of kids and took some patience). The best part were the candid photos. My family and I are goofy and he got alot of the silly moments we would may have not gotten otherwise. He was very attentive and listened to what we were ultimately looking for! He was so great, we hired him again to do our daughters senior photos. He is a very down to earth guy, super easy to get along with and cant beat the cost ! I highly recommend him to anyone!

Richard was our wedding photographer in June 2012, and we could not be happier with the experience or with our photos. We knew we wanted digital files of all of our photos, and a professional album, but we were on a tight budget. Richard was the perfect match for our needs. We found him on Unilocal,and hired him after meeting in person. His easy-​going personality, super affordable prices, and sample albums made it an easy decision.
Richard is very easy to work with and a super nice guy who knows what he is doing. He makes it easy to just be yourself, and it comes out in the photos. We took engagement photos in San Francisco 6 months before the wedding, and were thrilled with the photos. They reflected who we are, and were very classy, professional photos while also natural and fun. We got our engagement photo CDs quickly, and it was such a positive experience that we felt very relaxed for the big day.
On the day of the wedding, Richard was on time, he met us for photos at Lake Merritt, and then traveled to our ceremony and reception. He worked nonstop, but in a quiet way that didn’t feel intrusive at all. After the reception, he offered to take more photos at another location because we still had about an hour left in our 8 hour contract. We went to Jack London, and even when our hour was up, he continued taking photos in different parts of the square, saying he was having a good time. Talk about going above and beyond!
We received all of our photos on CDs in about 6 weeks, and were thrilled with them. He captured every moment we remembered, and many that we didn’t even know were happening. There were so many great photos, narrowing them down to make our album was a challenge. Richard was very helpful with the process, listened to our feedback on his drafts of the album, and overall, just did a great job.
Oh, and the extra bonus — he is GREAT with dogs. Our dog was the ring bearer, and Richard got some excellent shots of him.
Highly recommend for any photography needs.

Richard was our photographer for our June 2013 Wedding in Ross, Ca. When we met him we really liked that he was just a real guy. No gimmicks. A hard working small business owner. He was open and receptive to all of our questions about before, during and after our wedding. We loved that we would get nearly all of the photos he would take and that we’d have the option to get prints from him or print on our own. Richard’s editorial style was just what we were looking for. He was willing to work with our budget and we feel like we got a lot of value for what we spent for our day.
We opted for a 2^nd photographer to assist Richard and Debbie turned out to be just awesome. She had her own style and was really enthusiastic about our wedding, décor and setting up some nice shots. Both photographers were great the day of. They were able to capture so much of our experience and put us at ease. Most of the time we weren’t even aware they were there.
Richard is a man of few words and sometimes it took a few emails to figure a few things out but he always came through and got back to us. Most importantly the quality of our photos, both the posed family photos and the more spontaneous ones (our favorites!), turned out truly fantastic and we will treasure them forever.

We hired Richard to photograph our wedding in 2012 and couldn’t be any happier. We looked through some 40 websites of photographers in the Bay Area and he was among our top choices in terms of photography style. Moreover, his prices are very reasonable. He was a pleasure to work with, professional, dedicated, and a true artist. Highly recommended!

My husband and I got married in February this year and Richard photographed the event for us. He gave us really professional work with extremely competitive pricing. I wanted a laid-​back wedding without too much fuss, but I also wanted it to be memorable and well-​documented. Richard helped us decide which shots were important to us and did a great job getting what we wanted as well as plenty of unscripted/​action shots (some of my favorites). It was a really nice balance of classy, orchestrated pictures and on-​the-​fly documentation of our day. It was super-​low stress and high-​quality; we couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Richard shot our wedding at Point Arena Lighthouse. He was extremely nice, very pleasant, and easy to converse with. We are so so excited to get the pictures back and know they will be nothing but awesome!

Richard took newborn portraits of my 2 week old daughter. He was extremely patient and did great with her. He took his time and made sure the environment was warm and comfortable for her. He allowed me to care for her needs and waited patiently until she was ready to continue with the session. I did not feel rushed at al. He arrived on time, worked very professionally and came well prepared. He took fabulous pictures that I will treasure forever. I will definitely work with him again.

You can tell this man loves what he does. I came to Rich after seeing a headshot he did for a musician friend — beautiful, original work. So we got together to shoot some headshots for me because I was moving to LA to pursue sketch comedy. Rich did a beautiful job and really was able to capture my personality. He was not only personable, he was professional and yet genuinely sweet, a pleasure all around. If you can communicate what you want, Rich can make it happen. Hooray for all!

Used him several times! Great results each time! I will be back!

Richard was awesome! He recently did our wedding in April 2011. I booked Richard last minute and was extremely pleased with his work all around!
He was on-​time, worked very well under pressure, and stayed overtime, due to our wedding running behind. He traveled to 3 venues on the day of the Wedding. It was a very busy day… He was great!
The photography was absolutely gorgeous beyond words! He is a true artist. He captured some of the most candid moments. He took the most amazing pictures of babies and kiddos! He bounced around all over the place to get a diverse collection of pictures.
He took few thousand pictures, which told a complete story of the day. So if you’re looking for a Wedding photographer, hire Richard. You will be so happy you did! Thanks again, Richard.

Richard Haick is very talented, creative, and reasonable. He has always been fair and understands how moments can be pivotal to an event. I trust him fully with every event he has agreed to service. His professionalism is unbeatable. Customer service had always been a priority. I appreciate his honesty and courage to do the right thing. I will be using his services often for fundraising functions, weddings, and any other occassions that he is available for.

Matt and I had a consultation with Richard today and we were very pleased!
For one, he drove all the way to Oakley (Brentwood) to meet with us from El Cerrito! I think it was a 30 – 40 minute drive.
He came VERY prepared with samples of prints and 2 completed albums.
He is VERY VERY affordable people! Definantly works within any budget, especially ours! I mean, you can’t beat 6 hours of coverage with $ 200 print credit and 8×10 album for $ 999! I’ve seen this same package for $ 1,600!
