About Rick Raasch Photography

Raasch.Photography

Wedding Photographer

Timeless Wedding Photography Built on Legacy and Intention Long Beach, CA · Los Angeles & Orange County Digital | 35mm Film | Drone Weddings move fast. The laughter, the quiet glances, the walk down the aisle, gone as soon as they happen. What remains are your photographs, and they should carry the real feeling of the day. I find good light and strong composition, guide you when needed, then step back and let real moments happen. Just be present and I'll handle the rest. Galleries are edited in one of three styles: Signature (clean, natural, soft), Classic (timeless), or True (vibrant, real life elevated), plus black and white inspired by Ilford HP5 film. They should feel as true the thousandth time as the first.

I can shoot confidently in any setting, and have. Harsh midday sun to dark reception halls, micro weddings to multi-day Indian weddings. But the technical side is just the foundation. I see the moments others miss, and I know when to guide and when to disappear. I care about you and how the whole day feels, not just the final gallery. It's an honor I never take for granted. My couples value marriage over performance, the meaning of the day over the posting of it. They want beautiful photos, but know the day is already beautiful. If that sounds like you, I'd love to meet you!

    Wedding Photos

    My husband and I are beyond grateful that we chose Rick to capture our wedding and engagement photos! He was such a pleasure to work with and is so incredibly organized, friendly, and helpful with posing and capturing our authentic selves. Our photos are breathtakingly beautiful and that comes from Rick's magic behind the camera. I recommend him to all my friends and will be a lifetime customer as he does family portraits too!

    Fantastic Experience

    I could not be happier that Rick was our wedding photographer. From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. He made my husband and I so comfortable posing in front of the camera and the finished pictures are beautiful. Really better than anything I could have hoped for. I would recommend Raasch Photography to anyone who wants to capture an important event.

    My husband and I are absolutely thrilled with the photos Ricky captured on our wedding day! The variety of candid, posed, group, and portrait shots perfectly tells the story of our day and allows us to relive every special moment. Every photo turned out beautifully, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Ricky was a pleasure to work with, and we will definitely be using him again for future events. Highly recommend!

    We’ve worked with Rick many times for private events and weddings at El Dorado Golf Course, and he is truly incredible. He’s professional, punctual, warm, and so easy to work with. His photos are stunning, he captures not just beautiful moments, but the couple’s personality and genuine love for each other. He’s also great about delivering photos quickly, which we really appreciate. We highly recommend Rick and proudly include him on our preferred vendor list!

My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4 weeks after your wedding. But, you can expect to receive a sneak peak gallery the day after your wedding so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints.
Depending on the package you choose—such as the Premiere Collection—a second photographer may be included. At times, I may also bring an assistant to help out but this will not affect your overall price.
Yes, every delivered image receives professional color correction and tonal refinement to ensure consistency, balance, and a timeless finish. For mid-to-close-up images during key moments, I apply light skin cleanup, subtle blemish removal, and distraction removal where appropriate. The goal is always enhancement without over-altering. You should look like yourself — just your best, most natural self. Each wedding collection also includes 10 advanced retouched images, which you may personally select after receiving your gallery. Additional advanced retouching beyond the included 10 images is available for a small fee.
Typically, couples book me at least 6 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame. The sooner you ask the more likely I am to be available.
Yes, I offer video services that include everything from documentary-style edits to cinematic highlight trailers. If you choose to add video, I’ll personally oversee my team of trusted videographers and editors to ensure every moment of your day is beautifully captured and professionally crafted while I take your photos.
Yes, I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, weather, and other factors.
In my 6 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my trusted colleagues or contracted shooters who will be able to take care of everything you need.
Absolutely! I shoot to two SD cards simultaneously throughout the day for added security. Once I’m home, I back up your photos in three places: locally to a hard drive, online to Dropbox, and I store the second SD card in a fireproof safe. These backups are maintained until your gallery is delivered and you’ve approved it.
