Photographers

Rick Rosen has been a photographer his entire life. He set up his first darkroom in his parent¹s basement when he was twelve. He has honed his darkroom skills ever since and now has successfully evolved his technical and creative vision into fine art wedding photography using the latest in digital equipment.

"It's my profession and my artistic passion.² he says.

"Storytelling wedding photography gives me the opportunity to explore my romantic soul and create wonderful stories for my clients."

Mr. Rosen was asked by renowned photographer Ansel Adams to teach at his workshops in Yosemite where, by observing this master, he was also able to refine his own artistic skills.

"The thing I cherish most from my years with Ansel was discovering ways to capture beauty as it unfolds rather than trying to control or change it."

Mr. Rosen continues to be called upon to teach and lecture nationally. Recently he was asked by The Professional Photographers of America to present a seminar on ³The Future of Wedding Photography² at their Wedding Conference in Orlando. He has presented many fine art and wedding photography workshops and seminars to his peers.

Rick is the Official Wedding Photography Chat Host on America Online (HOT WPLC RickR@) and mentors wedding photographers nationally in his weekly sessions.

Mr. Rosen combines all of these experiences to create a very personal style of wedding photojournalism.

"The only artistic vision I have ever felt in wedding photography was a storytelling one. I photographed my first journalistic wedding in 1968 because the prevailing approach for creating a series of posed, static portraits never made sense to me when compared to the emotional images that were possible by just observing and letting people be themselves with no interference from the photographer. My vision has stayed true to that passion and I am very fortunate to be able to be recognized for my art."

As a true wedding photojournalist Rick reacts to your event as it occurs naturally, never interfering or manipulating.

"I capture the wonderful expressions, emotions, details and the love on that special day. The emotion and honesty that comes through in these real images makes it the best way to record this magical event in people's lives."

Of course, we also include any formal group shots that are requested but accomplish them in a minimal amount of time and on your schedule.

Using the latest in digital cameras we record an average of 900 to 1200 images for your selection.

Our albums include emotion-filled images telling the full story of your day.

The black and white images are all custom printed by the artist himself in the computer and his color printer completes the color prints to his specifications.

The studio incorporates only the finest materials and albums in their coverage of your special day. We feature the quality hand-crafted albums from Leather Craftsman.

Working together with our couples each album we create is a custom work of art, destined to become a treasured family heirloom.

Our "Fixed Pricing" concept will give you exactly the services you require with one set fee for unlimited time and unlimited images to tell your story. No surprises or upgrades later.

Your wedding will also be uploaded to the internet to be shared with your family and friends AND you will get to keep all your originals.

Rick is called upon frequently to cover wedding assignments nationally. Please contact the studio for further information and availability.
