Just a little glimpse on what’s yet to come!
Blessings!
Ritchie and Pam
we are pam and ritchie and we are ritrato photography. we decided to call our business ritrato photography because in our own language, ritrato means, portrait, picture or frames. we wanted to carry a bit of our heritage in wherever we might end up in and share it with whoever we might meet. leaving our country, philippines, to live in singapore and USA makes us appreciate even more the differences of our cultures and the uniqueness of each individual that we meet. it is not any surprise to us then that our style of photography is immensely influenced with the vibrancy and heartbeat of each culture.
with fresh eyes, we love and enjoy doing shoots in totally ordinary places and turning them into fine works of art. we revel in taking pictures of people in their element, in their basic moments. And nothing beats our joy in framing special moments that could never again be recaptured.
FUN. CANDID. PASSION. that’s how we love it. we want to take pictures of people \in events as they unfold.
SUNNY. RAINY. SNOWY. we love the challenges that each unique situation present to us, making the shots not anywhere near mundane but phenomenal.
FRIENDS. FAMILY. GOD. we, ritchie and pam, are born to be friends and we would not have started if not for the overwhelming support and love of our other friends and family. and WITHOUT OUR GOD, WE KNOW WE'D BE NOWHERE. praise and glory to him!
THANK YOU. Seriously, this absurdly short phrase is not enough to express how much grateful we are and how much we appreciate the simple invitation of people we have never met in our lives to photograph and capture nothing less than their raw emotion — LOVE. We are always enamored when people thank us but...
And so a first for us as we take photos of the famous Joe and Rica, who we now fondly call Carla (OKAY! except when we snowboard and I forget! HAHA) . Can we call ourselves starstruck ? NOT! More of lovestruck! no pun intended (they call each other love)...
When dates are set, you can only pray that the weather cooperate! We had the most wonderful shoot with our couple who flew out from Michigan to do their engagements here in Utah. David and Reena, of course, are greeted by the inversion, fog and cloudy forecast of Salt Lake City....
Ever wonder why COFFEE was emphasized in Brad & Meghan’s engagement photos? Find out later by clicking Utah Bride & Groom’s January blog entry about this couple’s engagement session. We took care of the photos & the couple told their story.
Every love story has a beauty of its own. And we can feel it by...
Another awesome engagement session! We love it when we have a fun and gorgeous couple to shoot. It makes it a ton easier for us and a lot more fun too! Hmm.. I am leaving in 4 days for my trip back to the Philippines (stoke!!!) and we have a few more photo shoots that...
We cannot articulate what we’re feeling right now! We are very very ecstatic that Tessa Woolf of Utah Bride and Groom decided to feature one of our engagement photo shoots in their site. It is an unbelievable honor to be featured with all the other great photographers out there in their site. And what takes...
Finaly!! We could blog! We have been waiting for this day. By day. By day. By day. HAHA! Anyways, thanks to our super lovely assistant Che who is helping out us a lot, we could almost take a breather before we fly out to...
A good friend of mine, Jon, asked me to help him with his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Wendy. He had all sorts of ideas and I was set to be the guy in the bush playing paparazzo. I won’t tell you about the other ideas Jon had as none of that really happened...
What a fun couple! Jeff and Rachel came to us for an engagement session and it was a blast! When we met up with them for coffee to go over the photoshoot details we knew it will be an easy job! There’s nothing easier than photographing a good-looking couple in love!
They wanted “urban...
