I had the pleasure of speaking with Ricky from Behind the Lens to see if he could capture my proposal to my now fiancé in sort of a secret manner. I wanted to capture the surprise of the moment. We talked on the phone for a bit and he had some great ideas. When the day came, he executed it perfectly and got some amazing shots! If you want Someone to take amazing photos of any type of event and someone who is also an amazing person, Ricky is your guy!

I’m so glad everything went as planned and your photos turned out great!! As your journey continues, I’d be honored to capture the next chapters too—whether it’s engagement photos, your wedding day, or even future family milestones.
Congratulations again to you both, and thank you for trusting me to be part of such an unforgettable moment!

Ricky photographed my mom's surprise birthday party. He was on time for the event and was able to capture some of the best memories from that party. Prior to the party, Ricky was very responsive, professional and curious about details of the party to ensure he was prepared. I was somewhat worried because he was traveling quite a ways to get to us however he did not disappoint at all by showing up when he said he would. I appreciated his communication and professionalism. I would absolutely hire him again. Thank you for capturing my mom's special day!
