At Richard J Nieves Photography, every wedding tells a story—a story full of joy, beauty, and moments that deserve to be cherished forever. My style blends authentic photojournalism with an artistic approach, focusing on genuine emotions and meaningful details while creating timeless, cinematic imagery.
As a photographer and filmmaker, I love incorporating 35mm film into my wedding day services. The soft, nostalgic tones of film evoke a sense of timelessness, bringing your memories to life in a way that feels deeply personal and heartfelt. My goal is to preserve the essence of your celebration, ensuring every meaningful moment is thoughtfully documented.
What Makes My Work Unique:
Authentic Storytelling: My photojournalistic approach ensures your day unfolds naturally, with genuine emotions and connections at the forefront.
Timeless Nostalgia: Incorporating 35mm film adds a layer of warmth and depth that turns fleeting moments into lifelong treasures.
Attention to Detail: Every intricate element, from the lace on your dress to the joy on your guests’ faces, is thoughtfully preserved.
Personalized Experience: Your story is one-of-a-kind, and I’m here to document it in a way that feels true to you.

“Richard really helped to make our wedding day absolutely incredible.”
“Leading up to the wedding Richard helped us to map out the types of photos and moments we were looking to capture on our big day. He arrived on time and ready to work, and he kept his camera rolling the whole night through. He really has an eye for photography and made us feel like a million bucks. We are so grateful for Richard and his talent. After the wedding he kept us updated frequently on where he was in the editing process of our photo gallery. We will use Richard in the future for sure.”
