Incredible. So much love for Richard.
We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Richard for being there on our wedding day capturing all the small moments amongst the big ones. He is such a great presence and energy to have around you and we felt so comfortable with him when emotions were high. I was worried I’d feel awkward having lots of photos taken but meeting Richard to have the pre-wedding chat put a lot of that at ease and, when it came to the day, it was like he was one of our friends coming to our wedding who was there from start to finish. Richard just naturally brings a calming and fun energy that makes it really easy to be around him.
The photos Richard took of our wedding are honestly incredible - we both looked through them and it was like being transported back to the day. He has captured so many subtle interactions and looks, both amongst our guests as well as between us as a couple. Looking through the photos made us feel all the love from our wedding again, it’s such a special feeling. When we’ve showed them to guests, they’ve said the same thing too!
The only hard thing is that Richard has taken so many incredible shots that we have so many to choose from - we said to him that we’ll need to have wallpaper made to have all the ones on the walls that we loved. Choosing a few to have frames feels almost impossible - it’s a pretty good problem to have. Richard has entirely nailed his profession and love for what he does.
For transparency, here are a few of the messages I sent Richard when he sent us our preview:
“Jeeez Richard. I’m speechless. These are insane. We’re not even halfway through and my face hurts from smiling so much. They are totally incredible 🤯🤯”
“Beyond happy tears, immediate connection to how full of love the day was, felt it all over again 🩷😍”
“We’ve looked through all of them and my godddd, you put me through the whole range of emotions - I cried, smiled and laughed so many times over. You have captured so many beautiful moments, there was so much happiness in those photos and it was like warmth just eminated from them. You are honestly just wonderful at what you do, I’m so happy that this is what you do, it is so meaningful. I don’t have enough words, just totally stunning and so thankful to you 🥰”
Basically, I have nothing but good things to say. We are extremely glad we booked Richard as our photographer and I’m confident anyone looking for a photographer would be just as over the moon having him there as we were. We have so much love for Richard for capturing such beautiful moments that keep the memories alive for a lifetime. Book him. You won’t regret it.We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Richard for being there on our wedding day capturing all the small moments amongst the big ones.

Oh Starie - what can I say other a big thank you to you and Craig too. For inviting me into your inner circle for such a significant moment in your life together, for trusting me to be me, and for such amazing words above too. You're two wonderful humans and that shines out of every photo too. I hope this is not the last time our paths cross - stay awesome and hope to see you again x -

Enthusiastic and joyous photographer
Richard was such a joy to have at our wedding! We are quite an introverted bunch, but he made all our guests feel at ease and brought amazing energy. On the day, he ensured he photographed both my husband and I getting prepared, all the key group photos as well as couple shots. He gave excellent direction – whilst making sure the photos were candid – which is precisely what we wanted.
From start to end, Richard was very friendly and professional. His communication was superb throughout the entire process, always replied quickly to our emails and set up calls to talk through the details of the day schedule. We would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for an enthusiastic, polite and relaxed photographer!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service and photos we got from Richard. The photos are even better than we could have hoped for! We cannot recommend highly enough and are so pleased!My wife and I couldn't be happier with the service and photos we got from Richard. The photos are even better than we could have hoped for!

Definitely recommend Richard!
We loved Richard’s enthusiasm and positivity from our very first contact. Richard put us at ease on our special day and brought such a wonderful energy. He was also really helpful with advice and tips about timings and other details in the lead up. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful - they really capture the spirit of the day, the emotion and laughter, as well as, the stunning venue!We loved Richard’s enthusiasm and positivity from our very first contact.

The best of the best
I don’t know where to start with how good Richard was as our wedding photographer. First off he’s an all round top guy, super fun to be around, made everything seem easy and relaxed and got on great with us and all our guests. And then the photos he delivered… wow. I am truly blown away by the quality, emotion and depth of what he captured. Every single photo is just gorgeous, and made it an incredible experience reliving the day through the pictures. I could not recommend him enough. Richard, thank you so much, you are THE best!I don’t know where to start with how good Richard was as our wedding photographer.

I'm not quite sure what to say to that but thank you! It was such an amazing weekend in the Alps with you and all your favourite humans. I'm so glad the sun dance came good right at the last minute too. Really hope to see you both again at some point for more adventures!-

Exceptional
Would thoroughly recommend Richard - we used him as our wedding photographer. He was reassuring in the build-up, and on the day struck the right balance between blending into the background and taking charge where he needed to. Most importantly though, the pictures he took were incredible - especially the perfectly-timed candid shots of our guestsWould thoroughly recommend Richard - we used him as our wedding photographer.

Don’t hesitate, book!
The photographer is one of the most important suppliers you can choose for your day. You spend more of the day with them than anyone else and we’re so glad to have had Richard with us on June 3rd at Prior Park in Bath.
From helping orchestrate family photos whilst navigating guest politics for us, to capturing shots I couldn’t have even imagined being in our final photos, he checked all the boxes for us. He also got beautiful shots of lots of the day that we didn’t get to witness which was so special to see. Richard communicated well throughout the entire process and we adore our photos.
The photography is the one part of the day (apart from the marriage) that lives on forever so it’s worth the investment. Thank you Richard for giving us memories to last a lifetime.The photographer is one of the most important suppliers you can choose for your day.

Fantastic photographer and so much more!
Where do we start?! Richard is a fantastic documentary photographer, and the photos he did of our wedding were stunning, really capturing the joy of the day! After scoping out the venue, he had a clear vision of what he wanted to capture for couples shots, but also took our wishes into account. Not only this, Richard went above and beyond on the day by managing other suppliers and timings when things unexpectedly changed, and he was really unobtrusive for our guests. This took a lot of burden off our shoulders and really meant we could just enjoy the day.
Communication before and after was easy and he’s very responsive. We can’t recommend Richard highly enough, you’d be lucky to have him at your wedding!Where do we start?!

The most wonderful photographer, could not have asked for more!
Where to even begin... Richard photographed our wedding at Pembroke Lodge in August this year and was just incredible from the start to the end of our wedding journey. He is so much more than just a photographer! Navigated us through planning in a pandemic, was so understanding when we made the decision to postpone, recommended other suppliers he had worked with (who were also amazing) and knew our venue inside out which was such a big help. I am so pleased that we also decided to do a pre wedding shoot. It gave us a chance to really get to know each other and feel a bit more comfortable in front of the camera before the big day. On our wedding day itself Richard could not have done more to help things go smoothly and keep us calm! He helped us keep to schedule while making sure we had time to get the photos we wanted, all while dealing with a couple of slightly over zealous family and friends with cameras of their own. And the end result is everything we wanted and more! We are so in love with our photos and have memories to cherish for a life time thanks to Richard!!

Oh my what a fab review - thank you so much Rosie! I loved our hike on (and thankfully not up!) Reigate Hill and then not much to say about the main day except that it was marvellous and then some from start to finish! Fingers crossed I'll see you again at other celebrations in the future! -
