“When my husband and I decided on our top three things that we wanted to prioritize in our wedding, photography was at the top of the list. I spent so much time looking online trying to find a photographer and was so excited when my sister-in-love suggested Rikki. First of all, her pictures were AMAZING and I was excited to support a black, female-owned business. Let me say, working with Rikki was a dream! She was literally what I prayed for when I thought of a wedding photographer- organized, thoughtful, responsive and most of all, invested in you as a couple. As a bride who was planning her wedding in a short amount of time from halfway across the country, having someone that provided a lot of guidance in shaping my photography experience was crucial. Rikki made sure to think of things down to the minute detail, which was so helpful for me and my other vendors. Even though this was her first time traveling out of state to shoot a wedding, you would never know it; she made the process seamless! Most importantly, Rikki invested in us. During the planning, she would always check in with us to see how we were doing as a couple and pray with and for us. During my wedding weekend, she even attended my bachelorette party and shared encouraging words with me. I literally left this wedding with a new friend! I also truly believe that because she established a relationship with us beforehand, my extremely camera-shy husband and I felt so much more comfortable in front of a camera on our wedding day. And let's not forget, her pictures are amazing! The high-quality pictures that I fell in love with when I first saw her work were the same high-quality photographs I received. I get so many comments on how wonderful, clear and flattering they are of us and all of our guests. When you leave your wedding, you have your spouse and your memories. We wanted to make sure that we could get the best pictures possible and we truly believe we did. Booking Rikki as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process!”

“We absolutely loved our experience with Envisioning Freedom. Rikki was professional from the moment we had our initial meeting to the moment we got our final pictures. She helped us brainstorm our vision and theme for the shoot based on our random ideas. She checked up with us continuously until the day of the shoot as our ideas evolved. On the day of the shoot, she was professional and time sensitive since we had to travel to multiple locations. We felt sooo hyped up on the day lol, she really made us look and feel cooler than we really are. She made the shoot so relaxed and fun for us, we definitely felt even more appreciative of each other while our pictures were being taken. Rikki was an exemplary photographer the photos came out absolutely stunning, there were so many options to chose from!”

“We first came across Rikki’s amazing work through a family friend. Immediately, we knew we wanted to work with her for our wedding! Her work speaks for itself. But beyond her beautiful photographs and uniquely amazing skills, her heart is also what really stood out for us. Before we ever discussed packages or pricing options, she wanted to get to know us. We met up for coffee as she asked us about our relationship with each other and God, and she allowed us to get to know her to know her as well. We left that meeting in absolute awe! We started planning our wedding pretty far in advance, so we hadn’t really decided on any other details yet, but we knew without a doubt that we wanted Rikki to be the one to capture our day, whatever it looked like. She exudes such a Godly love, joy, and warmth, and we knew we wanted that type of support on our wedding day. She went above and beyond, continuing to check up on us and pray for us during the engagement process. And her love, attention to detail, support, and sheer skill made our wedding day, as well as the memories we now have of it, more meaningful than we ever could’ve imagined. We are forever grateful!”

“Like most brides, I started brainstorming wedding ideas via Pinterest. While reviewing photos for a potential venue, I came across Rikki’s work and was instantly stunned. Not only was the quality exemplary, but Rikki’s photography also conveyed sincerity. Often wedding photos appear staged, but Rikki beautifully captured the candid, intimate moments that exude a couple’s pure love. I knew that’s how I wanted our wedding photos to look. Once we met, I understood why her pictures appear so organic – because SHE is such a genuine person. From her organization to constant check-ins, she kept us both at ease. Zae and I not only gained a photographer but a friend, and we are eternally grateful to both Rikki and her phenomenal second shooter, for capturing our day so beautifully!”

“Rikki has extraordinary talent and grace. We could not have asked for a better photographer. Everything has surpassed expectations. She has a natural eye for backdrops and poses that look great, and she also knows how to match the poses, viewpoints, and edits to the venue itself .That makes it almost a guarantee that your wedding pictures will be unique. She is also very organized, and took the time to review the timeline, desired poses, and other expectations, multiple times before the wedding day. As a result, she was timely and efficient on the day of the wedding, even if nothing else was! She also brought a lot of encouragement and comfort, through prayer, advice, and affirmation. Whenever I felt the slightest stressed, she was the first to remind me that we were fine, on time, and that everything was going well. Her second shooter was also amazing and did a great job with the men’s photos and capturing pictures from other angles. The pictures came back to us edited very quickly, another testament to how hard-working and efficient she is. Overall, Rikki has a great team and business, amazing talent and management skills, and a personality that you need around on your wedding day!”
Kira & Robert
“Me and my husband, Robert, saw Rikki’s photography through friends in our community long before we needed a photographer for anything, but we knew we wanted to use her services in the future. Her photography style is organic, fresh, and bold. Thankfully Robert knew to hire Rikki to capture his surprise proposal. She worked with Robert to organize the arrival, timing for my family to pop out and a mini photoshoot after the proposal. The photos perfectly capture the moments and emotions felt during that special time. I love looking back at the photos while telling our engagement story—the pictures truly bring the story to life. Pictures were one of the most important aspects of my wedding and I knew I could trust Rikki with my vision for our big day. Needless to say, she did an AMAZING job capturing all the details of our wedding day. We have been featured on many popular bridal IG accounts and Rikki deserves all the credit.”

“Rikki is an amazing person who is gifted at photography. Because my fiancé and I were remote, our-first conversation with Rikki was on a video call, which made things more personal. One of the first things she wanted to know was the story of our relationship. Normally, vendors don’t take time to know their clients, but Rikki was different. Her warm smile and personality made us feel comfortable in allowing her into our love story.
On the day of our shoot, Rikki was on time, prepared, and creative. She worked with my fiancé and I to take the time necessary to get the perfect shot, preferring quality over everything. Rikki delivered amazing captures with professionalism, creativity, and sensitivity to our individual needs. She made our shoots a breeze!”
Christa & Denard
“We absolutely LOVE Envisioning Freedom’s photography! Rikki did an amazing job with our engagement photos. She captured the essence of our relationship and made the shoot fun and easy! She was so great that after we got married and found out we were pregnant she was the only person we wanted to do our maternity shoot! The photos are perfect and we’ve recommended her to everyone we know! We’ll definitely continue to use Envisioning Freedom for years to come!””
