Amanda Sent on 20/06/2025Best photographer ever!!!!
Best in the business. Me and my partner met Rick at one of Shrigley Hall wedding fairs and after looking at his photo books on display knew he was exactly what we wanted. We managed to book in with Rick in advance which was amazing. We managed to have a preshoot with Rick where he chose a really pretty location and allowed us to bring our dog as she wasn’t able to be part of our wedding day. The pictures came through after editing and they were amazing. Fast forward to our wedding day and all I can say is he is the best in the business. From the morning of the wedding he made me and my girls feel so calm and took lots of pictures throughout the getting ready process even including my little niece who loved being in the camera. He managed to split the time between me and my partner as we wanted getting ready pictures with the bridesmaids and the grooms men which we thought was important. We set out a plan of the photos we want and I’m so excited to see all of our pictures from the day. He went above and beyond to get what pictures we wanted and added a few extra from different points of the venue which we didn’t think about. We really can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day.Rick Dell Photography's reply:

Katie Sent on 03/05/2025Katie and Daniel wedding 29th March 25
I would highly recommend Rick. From the start to finish he has been personable, professional and reliable. Rick helped us every step of the process and made me and my family and friends feel comfortable and happy in his presence so we got some amazing photos that really tell a story of our day from start to finish. My dad is a retired lightning director for Granada Tv and he was very impressed with the quality of our photos and Rick as a person. I would definitely recommend him.Rick Dell Photography's reply:

We hired Rick to photograph our February 2025 wedding at the Oak Tree at Peover, and were really impressed by both his approach before and on the day, and the final output.
Rick invited us to an Engagement Shoot a few months ahead of the wedding. This not only gave us some fantastic shots, but it also helped us be more relaxed when having pictures taken. Rick’s approach really helped set us at ease, and helped us get the most out of the pictures. The session also helped showcase some of Rick’s photography techniques, including using false sunsets, to give us an expectation of how these different techniques could work for us.
Closer to the wedding, we met with Rick in his home studio to discuss our timetable and plans for the wedding day itself. Rick’s approach here really helped build on our ideas, with Rick building on his experience of what works best to ensure the images captured would be the best they could be – for example, we were looking to give guests tubes of bubbles instead of confetti, but Rick advised us to supplement these with bubble machines so as to have the maximum impact – and this really showed in the final pictures.
Shortly before the day, Rick also visited the venue to familiarise himself, and plan for some specific shots. This led to some fantastic photos utilising the outside space, and reflections across the lake. Doing this, as well as building on our own ideas from having looked around the venue, made sure we got all the pictures we wanted, as well as some phenomenal pictures we had not even considered possible!
We also went with a second photographer (Peter), who Rick arranged for us. But more than having good contacts to bring in an excellent second photographer, Rick also advised us on how to get the most out of them. Advice like this was really important to us, and definitely informed our plans for our guests.
Rick and Peter blended in seamlessly during the day, and were able to get some really innovative angles and shots, as well as the more traditional posed photographs. Some of the pictures taken caught us in candid moments, that created some hilarious pictures (which whilst they won’t go in the album, will definitely be printed for our own memories!) which illustrate just how relaxed we both were, and how easy Rick was to work with.
There are some incredible standout images that Rick was able to arrange and capture, utilising sparklers and long exposure methods, reflections across the lake, colour filters and false sunsets, and the final results show that choosing to work with Rick was absolutely the right decision for our wedding. We would gladly recommend Rick to anyone getting married in the area, and it is easy to see why Rick is a (richly deserved) multi-year Hitched award winning photographer!

Terry Sent on 18/01/2025Couldn't have done better!
The search for a good photographer can be a minefield, my new wife and I can easily say we found an absolute gem with Rick. Not only is he personable and an all round lovely person, but his eye for details is breath-taking. We had a fantastic pre-shoot with Rick which was designed to get us use to the camera which in its own right says all you need to know about how much attention to detail he shows, we received some of the most amazing photos from this pre-shoot well in advance of our big day. Rick was so attentive to our needs and requirements and my new wife was initially hesitant to have photos at her hotel the morning off, but after meeting Rick she was immediately reassured. As you can probably tell, we cannot recommend Rick enough. The big day he wasn't pushy, bossy or demanding like many photographers we have seen at other weddings, he had planned his day (even attended the venue in advance) to ensure smooth running.
Rick, Amy and I want to thankyou from the bottom of our hearts! the photos are stunning, and we are over the moon with you, your services and everything you have done for us. Much love and all the best for 2025Rick Dell Photography's reply:

Rob M. Sent on 11/12/2024Great photographer - would 100% recommend
Rick is a great photographer and we are so pleased that we chose him to take pictures of our special day!
From start to finish, I could not fault a thing. The engagement photoshoot was useful as it helped us get to know him better and the meeting we had a few weeks before the wedding day was really good as it helped us all get our head around how the day would go. He also came up with some inventive and creative ideas that we decided to do on the day.
On the wedding day itself, Rick got lots of amazing shots and a number of guests have commented on how friendly and professional he was. We have received the official photographs back from Rick and there are so many good ones to choose from – I can’t wait to share them with everyone! I would 100% recommend Rick for your special day.Rick Dell Photography's reply:
