McGrath Photo - Photography by Rich McGrath

Client Reviews

Jim I recently had the pleasure of retaining McGrath Photography for a public relations event sponsored by one of our clients in upstate NY. I have worked with dozens of commercial photographers across the country and without a doubt, Rich McGrath is one of the best photographers I've had the opportunity to work with. In addition to being highly organized, Rich went out of his way to ensure that our shoot was captured exactly the way we had requested. Rich has a great feel for photography and brings a unique perspective to his shoots. I would highly recommend Rich to other advertising agencies or anyone looking for an outstanding photographer.

Lily I worked with Rich this past week for a work-related photo -- magazine-quality, for a print publication. His studio was immaculate, and he was fully prepared when I arrived. I have been photographed a lot, and Rich is near the top of my list for professionalism--he directs you well for the most attractive shot, he knows how to light you so you like what you see in the finished project, and he works quickly. He's a perfectionist, but he never makes it YOUR problem. He does not keep you waiting, and he has a happy, easy-going personality. :) Would happily work with him again!
Gina My company recently engaged McGrath Photo for a commercial photography project. Not only did Rich McGrath meet our expectations for the shoot, he exceeded them. He’s a true professional: he communicates well and he delivers. And, he has a “an eye” for capturing what will make an image compelling. Without hesitation, I’d use McGrath Photo again and would recommend Rich for future commercial photography work.
Kim I recently had the privilege of working with Rich McGrath as he was hired to photograph students at the Head Start Eastern Orange County in Newburgh, NY. I knew upon meeting Rich and Siobhan that they’d be a great team. They arrived early and guided our room set-up to ensure the most impactful photos. Photographing pre-school aged children is almost as challenging as photographing puppies – they’re cute, but never sit still. Without hesitation, Rich got down on the floor to get the best angle for each shot. Rich worked seamlessly with all parties involved with the event including the corporate client, the Head Start teachers, students and the non-profit partner. He consulted the client and non-profit partner to understand the necessary shots and was respectful in asking the teachers for their assistance in guiding the students within the classrooms. McGrath Photo produced high-quality images that illustrate our event as it unfolded making the viewer feel as though they were there. Also, the corporate client requested a quick turn-around on getting a few shots edited for the press release and Rich delivered an handful of selects within a day. I admire Rich & Siobhan’s professionalism. I would highly recommend McGrath Photo and would definitely hire Rich for future commercial photography needs.

Lillian Dear Richard McGrath, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude of the hard work you and your wife did on Saturday, July 25th for my wedding. I have to say, several people have called me and told me how impress they were with you. In fact, I was told that they thought you never took a break and were surprised your finger was not broken by the end of the evening. All I could do was laugh and thank them for the wonderful compliments of my photographer. I know I told you to take a break but never once did I see you actually sit. I really don’t know how you pulled it off but every moment of the wedding had to be captured by film. I was so surprised with how you handled an “Italian Wedding.” I know many photographers become overwhelmed and exhausted due to the demands. You never once raised your voice or seemed annoyed with all the requests. In fact, you were such a delight to work with that I can not stop praising you.
Lisa "Rich was a very thourouh and involved photographer. He was very interested in our input as far as staging the shots. On the day of the wedding he was right there, on time and ready to go. He blended seemlessly into the day and was not at all intrusive, allowing the bride and groom and the guestes to enjoy the day and not feel that they were being "staged". I would highly recommend Rich. Our memories of our daughters special day will live on forever in his photos."
Jeff On very short notice, only a few days, Richard McGrath graciously found time in his busy schedule to accommodate my fiance and I and shoot our proposal and engagement photos in the beautiful town of Cold Spring, NY. Rich took time to make sure that we were able to get all of the shots that we wanted, and he came up with some wonderful setups as well. The results were amazing. McGrath has a keen eye and a true talent for capturing great memories. Our photos were exceptional and made for the perfect engagement announcements and great Christmas cards, as well as several portraits that we will cherish for years. We had a great time working with such a friendly and professional artist. We truly appreciated him helping us memorialize such a beautiful time in our lives, and for the outstanding caliber of work he produced for us, the deal he generously gave us was unbelievable, but honestly any rate such a great photographer would ask would be worth every penny. When you want a special moment photographed to enjoy for the rest of your life, you want to make certain that it is done professionally and just the way you want. We highly recommend his work, and plan to have him shoot more photos of us and our family in the years to come.
