RITUAL welcomes collaborations with artists and individuals interested in our mission:
reframing the wedding photograph as a visual archive of human relationships and customs.

John Dolan’s wedding practice rejects staged visuals in favor of capturing authentic truths. He adopts a "guest photographer" mindset, blending seamlessly with the attendees to capture candid moments of vulnerability and connection. Dolan's work is intentional, positioning the beauty of subjects and setting at the forefront.

Meredith Heuer translates her background in editorial photography into a wedding practice defined by painterly composition. She focuses deeply on natural light and the emotional impact of color to give her images a timeless, buttery quality. Her strength lies in knitting together a sophisticated visual story, turning fleeting gestures into elegant, fine-art photographs.

Holger Thoss adopts an experiential approach to capturing weddings. By building genuine connections and sitting among the guests, he captures unscripted, energetic moments from an insider's perspective. His work balances sweeping panoramas with close-proximity snapshots of unexpected moments, images that can only be captured when subjects are completely at ease.

Olya Vysotskaya creates wedding photographs with the timeless quality of a classic film still. Her mastery of texture and use of rich color make for deeply poignant photographs, often employing dynamic angles and motion to capture raw emotion. She seeks out the beauty and character in human imperfection.
