Rich Paprocki Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,900

When I'm not working, you can find me hitting live shows or adventuring with my wife and cat, Riesling. About my work: 10+ years of experience shooting both on-location and in the studio. Use of off-camera lighting, which allows me to add a creative flair when natural light isn't quite enough. I’ll crawl through cattails, get pelted with silly string, and wade out waist deep in the ocean, just to get the perfect shot. My goal is to make YOU feel comfortable and at ease so we can create compelling imagery for your special occasion or event.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rich was very professional and fun to work with. He showed genuine care and love for his work, and it came through in the resulting pictures. He was willing to be flexible and adjust as the weather changed the plans for the day. He was like a gun slinger with his two camera holsters. My mother was skeptical at first, but once she saw the pictures she was completely happy with the outcome. The last picture really shows his dedication to get The Shot!

Weddings are more than beautiful photos—they're the moments you'll never get to experience the same way again. Our passion is preserving those moments exactly as they happen, from the quiet emotions before the ceremony to the celebration on the dance floor. We believe the best photographs are the ones that feel real. The tears, laughter, stolen glances, and genuine connections are what tell your story, and that's where our focus stays throughout your wedding day.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Zechariah and the team! From the very beginning, everyone was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We had the opportunity to have Zechariah shoot our engagement photos, which made our wedding photos all the more special. One of the things we appreciated most was how organized and thoughtful they were leading up to our wedding day. They created a detailed schedule for us, which helped everything run smoothly and took so much stress off our shoulders. On the wedding day, we felt like we were in such good hands. They even brought umbrellas which came in handy when it did rain! Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and looking through them has brought us so much happiness. They captured not only the big moments, but also the candid laughs shots and little details that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing photography team to document our wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and truly cares!

Juliette was the most amazing photographer for our wedding. She was always quick to respond and very helpful during the planning process and during the day of she was able to pivot with unexpected rain, keep hopes up and was a calm force that carried us through the day. Her style of pictures is STUNNING and she was able to get our (many) family pictures done very quickly so that we could enjoy the wedding to the fullest extent.

When I showed my mom the photos, she cried happy tears instantly. She kept saying how it brought her back to the day. That’s exactly how I felt too. They captured not just how everything looked but how it felt. The photos of me walking down the aisle with my dad are priceless.

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

Skyler is just the best. Her work is absolutely gorgeous and was exactly what we were hoping for in our wedding photos! We did an engagement session with Skyler a few months before our wedding. My husband and I were so nervous to be in front of the camera and we weren’t sure what to expect. Skyler was incredibly professional and made us comfortable immediately. And you can tell because the photos from the engagement session and the wedding day turned out stunning!! She captured such beautiful moments and you can feel the warmth and love in every image.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, stop searching and book Danny! From the very beginning, his communication was outstanding. We had a very tight wedding-day schedule and were worried about fitting everything in while still getting all the photos we wanted. Danny was always available to answer questions, jump on a call, and help us think through the timeline. His guidance and responsiveness gave us so much peace of mind leading up to the wedding. A few days before the wedding, we shared a PDF with our shot list, inspiration photos, and overall vision. Not only did Danny listen to everything we wanted, but he brought that vision to life even better than we imagined. On the wedding day, he was incredibly organized, calm, and professional. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and worked seamlessly throughout the day. He was respectful, fun with our guests, and collaborated wonderfully with our videography team, despite meeting them for the first time that day. Then we received our gallery… and we were absolutely shocked. We have so many incredible photos that we genuinely cannot choose favorites because every single one is gorgeous. Danny captured every important moment, all the emotions, the details, and so many candid memories that we will cherish forever. What amazes us even more is that he did all of this by himself! To this day, we still don’t know how one person managed to capture everything he did. His talent, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate moments are truly exceptional. We would recommend Danny 100% to any couple. His calm energy, professionalism, creativity, and incredible talent made him such an important part of our wedding day. We are beyond grateful for these memories and could not be happier with our photos.

We'd absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who genuinely care about doing the job right.

We had a great experience working with Alexis from the moment we first talked to the delivery of our wedding pictures. We loved working with Alexis, she was so easy to communicate with and we never felt pressure to do anything we didn’t want to do. Our engagement session came out amazing and we adore our romantic, high-quality wedding photos. She was very nice, friendly and professional. We recommend Alexis Renea Photography 100%.

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary. With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

Hanel is the absolute BEST! He was very responsive when we initially reached out and immediately put us at ease. We booked him first for engagement photos, and we got along really well. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed even though we both get weird around cameras. The photos were great! For our wedding, he helped us plan our shot list, showed up early to the venue, and took incredible photos. I can't say enough about how he captured the joy and overall vibes of our wedding ceremony and celebration. On top of all that, he is quick to get the photos back! 10/10. Highly recommend
