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!

Katie 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.

Oak Tree of Peover

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!

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
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
