I rarely post pictures of my couples.. I typically stick to just sharing venue shots.. But this couple I married on 7/26/24, sent me these and gave me permission to share them and add them to my web site.

It's odd for me to see this perspective.. I really have the best seat in the house.. I am literally 2 feet from my couple, I hear their whispers of "I love you" or "you look so beautiful".. I see lips quivering and both Bride, Groom, Groom & Groom, Bride & Bride etc.. release that 1st tear because they can't believe that moment has finally arrived.. It's kind of a privilege and an honor to have this one shot at a Gold Medal to unify a couple in a public setting..

I NEVER take it lightly.. There are NO other opportunities to perform better tomorrow or during Sunday's Matinee.. not to mention, this "ONE TAKE" is on video and film..... ENJOY

I officiated a ceremony last night in West Milfford NJ at the Awosting Boathouse.

The Bride spent her life building memories on Greenwood Lake. She also spent years dreaming of her wedding taking place on the perfect day, on the shore of Greenwood Lake, at the Awosting Boathouse. Well it rained heavily that day and i could see she was a little sad about what Mother Nature gave her.

WELL, the universe didn't want her to be sad, SOOOOO it gave her THIS!!!

PRICELESS!!!!!

Thank you Thank you Thank you

We cannot recommend Richard highly enough as a wedding officiant! From the moment we first met him, it was clear that he truly cared about making our ceremony as special and personal as possible. Richard took the time to get to know us through multiple meetings, where we shared stories about how we met, our journey together, our friends, family, and our dreams for the future.
He skillfully wove all these elements into a ceremony that felt incredibly intimate, light-hearted, and captivating. It was like he had known us for years, and he brought our love story to life in a way that resonated deeply with us and our guests. Richard's genuine warmth and attention to detail made our day unforgettable.
If you’re looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony uniquely yours, look no further. Richard is a true gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to all couples!

Amazing officiant

Richard was amazing, even from our first meeting, he helped us write our entire ceremony script and gave great ideas on how we could be unique and make the ceremony compliment who we are. Richard has wonderful energy and made us feel super comfortable as well as kept us laughing! He really brought a sense of ease to the process and made our wedding day the perfect day! 10/10
