Introduction: I have a genuine interest in people. I was a social anthropologist for over 20 years before retiring to take up photography. I love learning about people, observing and interacting with them. This strong innate interest in people and my formal training in anthropology is evident in my photographs of people, and makes my work stand apart from that of other photographers. I like interacting with the people I photograph, getting to know them, having them relax and feel comfortable in front of my camera, and helping me to capture an image of them that is natural and reveals their character and personality. Nothing gives me more pleasure that to have a client rave about how much they like their photograph and how pleased they are with my work.

My husband and I really enjoyed working with Randy. He was very professional, yet extremely down to earth. He photographed our rehearsal dinner, both the bride and groom getting ready at separate locations, the ceremony, and the reception. Of course, he did pictures of the wedding party during the cocktail hour as well. However, unlike anyone else we considered, Randy also did an "Engagement Photo Session." If you choose to go with Randy, you will have the option of having formal engagement photos taken or replaying how that special moment occurred. You will even be able to go to the place where that special event took place! One of the things that made Randy stand out from other photographers was his willingness to let the bride and groom take charge. That's the way it should be...after all, it's your wedding day! I've been in several weddings, and I've noticed that the photographers have typically led the photo sessions. Our wedding was not that way at all! We chose the number of photos with specific participants, and even chose our own poses! To sum it all up, we thought Randy was AMAZING! If you choose to go with him, you will not be disappointed!

It has been my great good fortune and pleasure to work with Randy Cummings as Official Photographer of Tri-Cities Opera for the past few years. In that time he has captured beautifully all of our main stage operas and second stage events as well as many fundraising projects, most notably our MUTT-ropolitan Opera Dog Calendars of 2012 and 2014. Many of the dog owners commented to me that they've never had better photos of their pets nor did they ever believe it possible that their pets could sit still for our sessions they way they did. All credit is due Randy for that, as four-legged and human subjects alike respond to his calming and unobtrusive presence during any session or event. Good-natured, kind and a real delight to work with, I would recommend Randy for any of your special events or portrait sittings. He is first-class in every way. I would gladly speak personally for Randy if contacted.

Randy was the photographer for our wedding. We cant say enough good things about him! He was great at capturing moments, getting everyone into positions, suggesting postures, etc... At one point during taking photos he actually crawled out a window onto the second story roof of my parents home to get the perfect angle for the shot! He was very personable and easy to work with. He posted photos for us to view within 24 hours of the wedding and let us know whenever a new album had been posted. All photos were available within a couple of days and a set of CDs was mailed to us in less than 2 weeks! We have friends who were married months before us in May and their photographer still has not released their pictures 4 months later. The quality of his pictures is amazing! My wife is Chinese and her parents do not speak English and he was very patient and made sure they knew what to do. At the end of the reception both of our parents commented on how much they loved our photographer. We would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family and will use him for other major events in our lives.

Wedding pictures are what you carry for the rest of your life to remember one of the most important days you'll ever experience. You want them to not only be a picture, but a memory that makes you hear the music and smell the flowers and feel the love from that day. Randy's pictures do that. A fun brilliant artistic photographer to help you capture every memory from your big day

Randy was fantastic. He was our photographer for my second wedding at the recommendation of our (also wonderful) caterer Cindy Rotella. Here's what I loved about Randy: 1. He does an amazing job of capturing the essence of the people (most importantly, you and your soon to be spouse)...but also those you love, at your event. 2. He listens to exactly what you want photographed at your wedding, how you want it done, etc. It's customized for you. 3. He is unobtrusive. You won't even know he is there for so many photos and you can enjoy yourself and then be shocked that he caught all those special moments. I would highly recommend him!!!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have had a camera of some sort since I was a youngster, and my favorite subject was always people. I lived and worked overseas for over 20 years as a social anthropologist so I had lots of opportunities to photograph a wide range of people in very different surroundings, though more as a hobby than a vocation. Back in the US, I was able to devote more time to photography, and when I got my first digital SLR camera, I knew that I wanted to become a professional photographer. My training and experience naturally led me to concentrate on photographing people: weddings, portraits, head shots, and special events. It is what I was destined to do.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask for references and examples of their previous work. Everyone has a camera these days, and many people think they are a photographer. Don't entrust your wedding, birthday, or reunion photography to someone who hasn't the skills and experience to capture the event competently and professionally. These are once-in-a-lifetime events. You don't want a botched job.

  • What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

    I work hard to master my craft. I try to photograph people as much as I can. I volunteer my services at several organizations in order to have the opportunity to photograph people in different settings and under different conditions. I will also go to public events like fairs, rodeos, parades, and farmers markets to photograph people. At other times I will just walk around the city streets photographing people. This constant photographing of people is something I love to do, but it also allows me to practice and improve my photographic skills and ultimately become a better photographer.
