Wedding day

We would highly recommend Rick for your wedding photographs. He was absolutely amazing from booking with him to receiving our photographs. He offered a free pre wedding photo shoot and a pre wedding consultation to run through the day with us and go over all details of important things that we wanted photographing. We now have the most amazing wedding photos and memories to look back on. Very efficient, passionate about what he does, great communication and a quick turn around for our pictures. Thankyou so much Rick!

A Talented Photographer & all-round Nice Guy

We first met Rick at a wedding fair where there were a number of other photographers displaying their product. As well as liking Ricks personable approach, we also liked the style of his wedding photography and knew he was a perfect match for us. This turned out to be exactly the case. Rick is a very talented photographer. He captured some truly beautiful shots on our special day as well as some lovely candid shots of both ourselves, our family and guests. He is very professional and approachable. One great advantage for us was Rick's prior knowledge of our wedding venue, having worked there on many other wedding occasion, this meant he knew the format and running order of the day and how to get the best shots at that location . Having his guidance and reassurance kept the morning calm and enjoyable. We have no hesitation in recommending Rick Dell Photography for your special day. You are in safe hands.

A fantastic photographer and brilliant guy

Rick is a brilliant photographer and lovely guy. From the pre photoshoot at a beautiful spot in Altringham, to getting the photos back in excellent time, he was brilliant to work with, really warm, professional and the pictures are amazing!

Great photographer!

We absolutely made the right decision in choosing Rick for our wedding.
Very friendly, efficient and professional.
He was so supportive on the day, helping with button holes & adjusting the train on my dress to display it to its best.
He was great at getting the shots we asked for, and extras that we hadn’t thought of - but Rick had!! … and we are so glad as we would have missed the set up of the room, the tables, etc.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rick again - we are spoilt for choice with such beautiful photos!! 😃

Wedding Day Photography

Rick took our fantastic wedding photos, and he captured the very essence of our day. There were the usual shots that you would expect, but also lots of unique and natural shots of both ourselves and all our guests. We would highly recommend him for your wedding or other event.

Highly recommend

Rick was our wedding photographer at Mere Court, Knutsford this summer and we would recommend him to anyone. He knew what photos he wanted and how to get them but was also very responsive to our wishes of what we wanted too. He knew the venue very well and had a great relationship with the staff and some of our other vendors which was a great help. He’s friendly but assertive in just the way you need a wedding photographer to be. We found meeting Rick for a pre wedding shoot a great touch so we knew what to expect on the day. Also the post wedding meeting to finalize what we wanted was also great. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience, great value with no negatives.

5 star photography

We had the pleasure of Rick taking our wedding pictures on 2nd August 2025 at Mere Court Hotel.

From the second meeting Rick at the pre-shoot he put us both at ease. He was lovely throughout and so easy to get on with.

The hard work he put in on our wedding day didn’t go unnoticed. He was professional at all times, full of ideas and made sure everything we asked for was included in our day.

We received so many compliments from our guests to say how lovely he was.

The turnaround time to receive our pictures back was very quick. Our photographs are beautiful and captured our day perfectly, they are so natural and show how much everyone enjoyed our day.

It’s so hard to choose pictures for our wedding book as they are all genuinely amazing but I know once we receive our book it will be such a lovely piece with great memories.

Thank you so much for capturing our day and also taking the time to spend it with us. We will definitely recommend you to everyone in the future.

Highly Professional yet Friendly and Supportive.

When we first met Rick, we were instantly put at ease with his friendly and jolly manner. His professionalism reassured us straight away, that he would deliver exactly what we wanted on our wedding day. We were not disappointed. The pre wedding photoshoot was a brilliant way for us all to get to know each other, which helped tremendously on the big day. Bright and early, Rick was there, capturing every minute of our special day, and kept us relaxed and happy during the build-up of the day. When we received the photos, they were incredible. In fact, there were so many brilliant photos, the hardest part was for us to choose which ones we wanted for the album. When the album was completed, we could not have been happier, and proud to re-live the day with our family and friends who also loved the photos. Well done Rick. Keep up the good work.

An amazing experience and outstanding photographer!

What an incredible journey! Working with Rick was nothing short of amazing—he truly blew us away in every possible way!

We first crossed paths with Rick at a wedding fair at the Mere Court Hotel, an event we almost decided to skip! Looking back, we’re beyond grateful that we went! After chatting with him and getting a glimpse of his breathtaking portfolio, we knew there and then he was the right photographer for our big day!

Before the wedding, Rick organized a pre-photo shoot that wasa fun experience! It helped us relax in front of the camera and gave us a chance to get to know each other more. The stunning images he captured during that day only fueled our excitement for what was to come!

On our wedding day, Rick arrived early, scouting out the most amazing locations for photos even before we got there! He kept the atmosphere light and filled the day with laughter, making us feel completely at ease.

Rick blended seamlessly with our guests, capturing every single moment—and so much more! His eye for detail was evident in every photo, and we couldn’t have asked for more dedication on our special day.

When it came time to view our photos, we were absolutely blown away by the sheer volume—over 1,000 stunning shots! It was such an exhilarating experience to relive our day through those images. To top it off, Rick surprised us with thoughtful gifts and a card, which we were extremely grateful for!

If you’re on the hunt for a phenomenal wedding photographer, then look no further—you’ll be absolutely thrilled!

A massive thank you to Rick for capturing our day in such a breathtaking way; we feel so lucky to have had you with us on our wedding adventure!

Great Service

We were very pleased with Rick as our photographer. The booking process was straightforward, with good communication, clear and reasonable prices with a quote and contract provided promptly. On the day, Rick was on time to all locations and good-natured with our many requests, even staying late. He captured a very intimate and personal series of photos of our special day. Thank you Rick for our lovely photos!

Best 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.

Wedding Photos - amazing experience

Brilliant experience. He put us at ease before hand and during the day; he helped answer any questions wedding related even if not regarding the photos. Not only did we have a beautiful day and calm environment we have stunning photos to remember our special day forever.

Would also like to mention how Rick went above and beyond helping us find an amazing replacement venue when ours unexpectedly closed which we will be forever grateful for!
