"HOLY SHIT! We are so blown away with our photos, Ricky is an absolute Jedi! Easily the best photographer I have ever worked with. THE best photographer you will find in New Zealand! The photos are EPIC and works of art. We had the most wonderful day flying in helicopters and running around the mountains with Ricky and we can't wait to see him again when he comes to Paris to shoot our full wedding!"

Evan and Lexie Gaines
"Ricky was so easy to work with on our wedding shoot. He knows the Queenstown area well and where to go to get the best from the landscape. He was fun and relaxed and made us both feel really comfortable being in front of the camera. We love that he caught so many real, present moments and he made us laugh so much! We are blown away by the photos, his vision and artistic flair give the photos such a unique and powerful collection. Thank you so much Ricky, we'll cherish the photos forever xx"

"Ricky is an absolute legend! He made everything so easy for us on our wedding shoot. He knew exactly what we wanted and was very easy going. The images he captured are truly outstanding. I don't know how he does it?! We 100% recommend Ricky for your special shoot. I've worked in film and he is easily the most talented photographer in Queenstown if not all of NZ!"

Catherine Stewart
"On the day of the wedding, Ricky was an absolute pro. He captured our day perfectly, and put everyone at ease. Prior to the Wedding Day, Ricky communicated effectively, went with the flow of how we wanted the day to run, and was genuinely excited to be a part of the day. Ricky worked incredibly hard and went above and beyond to ensure our day is captured for eternity, and so beautifully too. Thank you Ricky, highly highly recommend!"
