Couldn'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 2025

Great 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.

The best of the best!

Rick has been fantastic to work with. He took a very personal approach to myself and my husband. We first met him at the Shrigley Hall Wedding Fair and my husband chose him because he loved the quality of images and Rick's pride in his work. He was really communicative and we had a really positive pre-wedding shoot, which gave me great faith, as I hate being photographed. Rick took time to put us at ease and compliment us. He won us over completely and on the day was incredibly supportive and caring. He also took control of the situation really well because our emotions were high. From the bottom of our hearts, we were so delighted with the pictures and the quality. We have struggled to narrow it down to the required images for the album; there are just so many to chose from. A magical day represented by a superb photographer.

Photography Perfection 📸

I would definitely recommend Rick to anybody looking for a very talented and experienced photographer.
Rick was our photographer for our wedding party and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He is reliable, punctual and very friendly- even our guests commented on the quality of his work and his lovely personality.
As someone who doesn’t particularly like having their picture taken, I instantly felt comfortable around Rick- he makes the whole process fun and ensures you feel at ease, whilst also having plenty of laughs.
Rick also offers a pre wedding photoshoot which is a lovely touch and helps you get comfortable in front of the camera. We will definitely use Rick again for our events in the future! 5 ⭐️

Highly recommended

We recently had the pleasure of working with Rick, and we couldn't be happier with the service provided. From the initial consultation to the final delivery of the photos. Rick demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail.

The quality of the photographs exceeded our expectations, capturing every important moment beautifully and authentically. Rick has a remarkable ability to put everyone at ease, ensuring natural and candid shots that truly reflect the essence of the occasion.

Communication was seamless throughout the entire process. Rick was always prompt in responding to our queries and accommodating any special requests we had. The turnaround time for the edited photos was impressively quick, and the final product was nothing short of stunning.

We highly recommend Rick to anyone in need of a talented and reliable photographer. Thank you, Rick, for your outstanding work and for making our Wedding so memorable!

Mere Court

Rick was the photographer at our wedding at Mere Court in August. We are so happy we chose him to capture our special day. Leading up to the wedding, we had a few meetings with Rick, where he explained what would happen and allowed us to say what we wanted capturing on the day. We had a pre-wedding shoot which eased our nerves and helped us feel more comfortable. On the day itself, Rick arrived early and didn't stop all day. Rick took so many wonderful photos, it was hard to choose just 80 for our wedding album. We are happy we chose Rick to photograph our wedding and would highly recommend him. Thank you Rick!

Friendly, professional and talented.

If you are looking for a wedding photographer who will put you at ease, fit in around your plans and deliver fantastic photos, then Rick is your man. As neither of us are fans of being in front of a camera, Rick suggested a pre wedding photo shoot which helped us feel more comfortable and enabled him to understand what we wanted from our day. On the day he was with us from the morning preparations through to the first few dances and our only problem has been narrowing down the photos for our album from such a great selection. Rick comes highly recommended by us.

Our wedding day

Rick has been absolutely amazing during the run up to our wedding. We had a great pre-wedding photo shoot with him where he put us at ease so quickly! We loved the photos and the time spent chatting with Rick. He is so easy going and friendly, it felt like we’d known him years! We were nervous about the photos and Rick managed to turn this around for us and on the big day we were not worried at all! Rick arrived on time and got to work straight away as he knew everything we wanted. Rick is amazing at what he does and he chatted to all our guests while looking after us at the same time, doing his best to get us the most amazing photos. Rick, we can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. We are so lucky to have picked you and we’d recommend you to anyone who feels anxious about having photos taken! Within minutes Rick will turn that around! An amazing, kind and friendly professional. So glad we chose you Rick.

Beautiful photos

Rick photographed our weding in May and captured the day beautifully. Being two people who don't particularly like our photos being taken Rick helped me us feel comfortable and we got back photos which we love! The pre-wedding shoot was really helpful in making us feel comfortable and knowing what to expect

Thank you Rick!

Excellent professional service

Rick was amazing from start to finish. We had a meeting before the wedding to discuss options and to have a look at his portfolio. He then did a pre wedding shoot so we could get used to the camera and we could get to know each other a bit better. We were so happy with those photos!
We then had another meeting before the wedding to make a list of the shots we wanted. On our day Rick was prompt and began taking photos straight away. He made sure we got all the shots we wanted and also made sure we had time and space for ourselves. It was a great day! 3 weeks after the wedding we have seen our photos and picked up the usb of them all and we are so so happy. Can't wait to show our families!
Rick is very professional and friendly and you can tell he really loves his job. We would highly recommend Rick to anyone!

Best in the North West

Rick is a pleasure to know and an absolute delight to work with.

We first met him at a wedding fair, and from this moment we knew we wanted him to take our wedding photographs.

He put us at ease during our big day and kept us laughing. Prior to the wedding day, he did a pre-wedding shoot so he could get to know us better, and also to get us used to being in front of a camera.

We honestly can’t recommend Rick enough for his professionalism and humour and if we ever need a photo shoot again, Rick will be the first person we call.

Thank you Rick.

Alison and Mike.
