Fantastic photographer - look no further if you’re looking for a wedding photographer! Communication brilliant throughout and the final pictures are unreal. Can’t thank Rick enough for these pictures which we can look back on for years to come and remember our wedding day

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

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.

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.

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.

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