    Richard is an absolute treasure!

    Richard is an absolute treasure! We knew we were in safe hands after our first meeting when he was considering the timings of the sunset on our wedding day and he didn't disappoint. On the day he was calm, relaxed and friendly, always there but never intrusive. Needless to say we loved the photos - lots of ahhh moments when watching the slideshow. He captured our day so brilliantly both formal and natural photos, with beautiful innocent moments of our children. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him

    Wow! Rich you are original, a talent, tireless, creative, a total legend, the best photographer we could have picked and above all a friend.

    Steve and I had the pleasure of knowing Rich when he lived in the UK before he became a professional photographer. When we got engaged Rich was the only person we wanted to shoot the wedding, however he had moved to LA and has since become one of the most sought after wedding photographers in the business. Fortunately though, and to our absolute delight Rich was in the UK on the 20th August and agreed to shoot our wedding at Northbrook Park, in the Hampshire countryside just outside London. Rich was at the venue when I arrived at 9am running about in the rain (after all it is the great British summer!) trying to direct our limo through very...

    The Absolute BEST!

    Rich and I connected through a mutual friend, and thank goodness because from the minute my now-husband and I saw his portfolio, we knew we wanted Rich to photograph our wedding!

    When we met up in person, we all clicked immediately. He is a very warm, friendly, genuine person who has a very obvious passion for his work. However, one of my favorite things about that first meeting was that he was never once pushy about us booking his services... he didn't need to be because his work and demeanor spoke for themselves! We never even considered hiring anyone else.

    Before the big day, Rich did an incredible engagement shoot for us in Agoura Hills. To...

    Classic, Timeless, and Cherished Memories

    After seeing your work and meeting with you a couple times prior to the big day we had high expectations and you still managed to blow us away. We had so much fun and there were so many special moments during our wedding that you were able to capture. We were ecstatic to see the email from you with our slideshow and photo album and in such a quick turnaround time! After traveling halfway around the world coming home from our honeymoon we sat back and relived the best day of our lives through your lens. Words cannot explain the flood of emotions we both felt during the slideshow and again while browsing all of the other photos. You...

    Would book Clarkie photography 10x over!!!

    My husband and I are beside ourselves over Clarkie's incredible photos from our rehearsal dinner and wedding day!!!! We will always remember the overwhelming amount of love that we felt flooded with on the most special day of our lives, but his photos really sealed the deal on that. We started our search really wanting to find a photographer who could capture the candid moments, and Richard delivered on all we could have hoped for, plus more. We cannot thank him enough for covering every single special moment, with such an honest and true eye for everything!! His attention to detail, plus his ability to capture the big picture is UNREAL. In addition, my husband and I, plus our...

    Stunning photos and very kind

    We knew right away after speaking with Clark we wanted him to photograph our wedding. He has incredible composition, captures all of the best emotions, is great with editing with no cliche filters, and is a very kind person who is comfortable to be around. We had to reschedule our wedding and venue during the pandemic and he was accommodating and handled the changes with grace. We are so happy with our album and highly recommend him.

    Wonderful Wedding Photographer

    Richard Clarkie worked tirelessly to capture our wedding photos. Seven years later, and I still couldn’t be happier.
    The photos are beautiful and I’m sure they will be the nicest photos taken of us for the rest of our lives!

    Best Wedding Photographer

    Deciding to hire Richard Clarke as your wedding photographer is the most important wedding decision you'll ever make. Rich is not only extremely talented and delivered the most incredible wedding photos we could have ever asked for, but he's also just a great guy. He's incredibly humble and passionate about his work. Rich made everything feel like a breeze. Rich's style is to capture the genuine, real moments of a wedding without manufacturing anything. Prior to the wedding we had several introductory and prep calls to be sure he understood our real personalities and who we were as a couple. This is all part of his process. On the day of, it was just like we were hanging out...

    By far the best wedding vendor we worked with

    If there was a way to rate Rich with more than 5 stars - we would give him 10! From our very first Skype meeting, we could tell how passionate he was about his work. I initially thought it might be difficult for Rich to photograph our wedding in Sonoma since he was based in LA, but he was incredibly flexible and willing to work with us. We decided we didn't want to do an engagement shoot, so he joined us a day early to document our rehearsal dinner. As a result, we ended up with more candid family photos, which we absolutely love! Rich was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. He is professional, organized,...

    Best Wedding Decision We Made

    Chelsea: I stumbled upon Clarkie Photography by chance, looking at Alaskan wedding venue photos on Google and something drew me to the style of the photography. I then realized Richard was based out of LA, and we live in Alaska so I tried to get his photos out of my head, as it was probably not ideal to fly a photographer here. I continued to search for other photographers but I felt like I was going to be settling. My husband looked at his photos and with a little convincing, got to be as excited as I was, so we contacted Rich...Best. Decision. Ever! From the moment we first talked with him he made us feel comfortable and was...
