The photos are absolutely stunning! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We're so pleased with the outcome and many of our guests made specific comments to how great of a job they thought you did! You rock, Jim! - Kristen, June 2010
I've told at least three other couples looking for photographers how much fun we had working with you - and dozens of people have been amazed by your pictures. Several people have said "who needs a videographer when you've got pictures like that!" -- Trace, January 2010
I saw Sara and Bobby's wedding pics and they are soo wonderful. You did a great job of catching the most beautiful moments. - Amanda, January 2010

Everyone loves the pictures!!! You are the BEST Photographer Ever!!! I haven't had a chance to speak with you since our wedding day.... but Jim, you are truly a gifted person.

"Jim Ritch did an absolutely fabulous job photographing our wedding. His coverage of the event included everything from the rehearsal and dinner the night before, to pictures of me (the bride) and my attendants getting ready before the wedding, to pictures during the ceremony, formal shots of the bridal party and family, and the entire reception. The images that Jim made for us turned out great. He was able to get wide-angle shots to create some very interesting and fun effects for the pictures. I would higly recommend Ritch Photography to anyone looking for a photographer in the D.C./ Maryland area." - Rebecca M., Nov. 2009
Tremendous job! I love them. -- Rebecca S., Nov. 2009
Hi, Jim! Just had to send you a quick message---we love the pictures! We've been busy pouring over them and burning up the phone lines talking about our favorites! We'll be in touch, but I didn't want another day to go by without telling you "thank you!". -- Ginny, Nov. 2009
We really appreciate all you have done to help make this day so memorable. Your outgoing personality and positive guidance has meant a lot to us." Marie, Oct. 2009
"Jim is very easy to work with and the photos came out great. I would highly recommend getting a package that includes all day coverage. Jim got shots of the girls getting ready at the salon at 11am and shots of some of the last dances at 10:30pm and everything in between." -- Linnea, Sept. 2009
The pics are sooooooooooooo nice. I had no doubt that they would be. Thanks again for all of your hard work and expertise on my wedding and my friends' (Natasha & Rufus). I know they will truly cherish their pictures forever as I do mine. I have and will continue to recommend you to EVERYONE I know! -- Tamu, Sept. 2009

The pictures are amazing! We love them! It was very difficult for me to get any work done yesterday because I just wanted to keep looking at them and show them to everyone. Thank you so much! - Jennifer, April 2009
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Julie and Brian's wedding pictures. I wish you could see all of them hanging in their home. They had the group picture in the church enlarged to a 18 x 24 and you can see almost everyone so clear (everyone looked very happy). There are also several picture collages throughout the house. I love the emotion seen in everyone's face. You did a fantastic job. Thanks again. Barbara (Julie's mom) - April 2009
We would like to thank you for all that you did for our wedding and helping to capture a lifetime of memories. The engagement photo session at Pemberton Park was extremely fun and it was only a prelude to what was ahead. Every photo from the rehearsal dinner to the last dance was amazing! We have had a difficult time selecting for our album. You captured moments that we will treasure for a lifetime! Your fun loving and professional style made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Everyone enjoyed having you photograph them. Jim you are top notch! We would recommend you to anyone who needs any photography service. I can assure you that when we need photography services in the future we will call on you. Thank you again for being a part of "The Countdown to the Rest of Our Lives." -- Melanie and David Smith, Lexington Park, MD, Married 12.31.2008
The pictures are fantastic :) Being out in the cold was well worth it. The brag book would be great. We will try to choose our favorites, but it is going to be hard because they were all so good. Thanks a Lot, -- Denise, January 2009
We both appreciate the work you've done with us and would recommend your services. You have the ability to capture those moments that I think other photographers would miss. - Carlton, January 2009
We are obsessed with the pictures so far. Both our families and all of our friends are practically chomping at the bit to see the rest! I wanted you to know how much we appreciate all the work you did and all the time you spent. We have nothing but great things to say, and everyone that came in contact with you or has seen the pictures you have taken has raved about the experience! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! - Aubrey, December 2008

You deserve all of the credit for these portraits....they're amazing! [He] is my nephew and I think he looks good in every photo, but these are remarkable - I think you were really able to capture the essence of his character and he's grown into such a handsome young man. In fact, I just got off the phone with my sister and told her she should get him a modeling contract, stat! I've been anxiously awaiting these proofs way out here in California, so you just made my day! -- Brenda, September 2007
