Recent comment from a wonderful client.

"Rick was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Photography was one of the most important things to me in our wedding and wedding planning, and I don't know what I would have done without him! He took the best wedding pictures I've ever seen from anyone's wedding. Everyone in our families agree. I recommend him, absolutely. He was very professional while being personal and helpful and understanding at the same time."

My family and I cannot say enough about the photos you took, your level of professionalism, and your great personality. When choosing a photographer for my wedding, I wanted someone who was local and who had shot my venue previously. I made several phone calls and you were the 1st person to respond. In one phone call I knew in heart I would need to look no further. We met and it was set in stone, I had my photographer!
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we ironed out a plan and it was flawless, I am certain due to your experience. We had the best time taking photo's around Seattle, from the Pike Place Market to Pioneer Square, you captured our city and our personalities. You were everywhere when I needed you and captured every special moment. More than photographer, we found a friend!
I/We cannot thank you enough!

Capturing the ambience of your wedding in photographs is no easy task but this is a skill that Rick Takagi has fine tuned. I could not be more pleased with my photographs, the energy, the light, the color, the love.....all on film!!!! It is simply not every day that your photographer SHARES in the excitement of your big day the way that Rick did for us. Professionalism is paramount for me and he hit it out of the park. Thank you, thank you!

Rick is amazing, and we had so much fun working with him! We were married in Las Vegas in May 2010, and lucky for us, it worked out to have Rick with us on location. Since it was a destination wedding, we didn't have a lot of time to take in the location or understand the lighting or photography options. This wasn't a problem for Rick. He immediately knew what would be best for the time of day, the lighting, and how to incorporate the architecture and natural backgrounds. Our pictures turned out perfect, and captured the attitude and style of our wedding just as we wanted. I receive so many compliments on our photos! Rick really knew what we wanted and how to best capture us, our friends, and our wedding.

My husband and I got married almost a year ago, and I STILL can't stop looking through all the photos Rick took that day. I still have a hard time deciding which one is my favorite, I would love to put all of them on my wall, just so I don't have to leave any out!
Having amazing pictures to have forever after our wedding was one of the most important things to me, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. Rick made it so much fun, and got every single shot I had wanted plus some. He chose so many beautiful places and backdrops around our wedding spot. Everyone who has seen our pictures from our special day has said they're the best they've seen. Rick was very professional, while being personal and and helpful and understanding all at the same time.
I would recommend him to anyone looking for AWESOME wedding day pictures!!

I could not have asked for a better photographer than Rick. He was incredibly patient with the madness that weddings inevitably bring. But better than that: he helped iron out some of the stresses. His shots were incredible and he got them to us in a very timely manner. I've heard from everyone who has seen the photos that they are the best ones they've ever seen. I would recommend Rick to anyone.
