    Outstanding

    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!

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Ah thank you for such kind words. I knew from when we very first met that your wedding was going to be brilliant and we were going to have a lot of fun together too!

    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!

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review.

    I loved every second of photographing your wedding and getting to know you both in the build up too. I hope its not the last time our paths cross!

    Congratulations again on a brilliant wedding and thanks for entrusting me with documenting it for you!

    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!

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    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 guests

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer and for such a lovely review too. It was such an amazing celebration. I hope our paths cross again at some point in the near future!

    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.

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Claudia thank you for such a lovely review. It's been a blast to get to know you both since meeting you at S+L's wedding and I had the best time photographing such a brilliant day (and a fab party too). Hope to see you both again soon 🤞

    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!

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Ah thank you so much for such kind words. I was so happy that you were FINALLY able to have such an incredible wedding and it was an honour to be a part of it. Fingers crossed it won't be the last time our paths will cross!

    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!! We honestly can't thank him or recommend him enough! Rosie and Liam

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    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!

    Brilliant wedding photographer

    We were so happy with Richard as our wedding photographer, from when we first spoke he made us feel at ease, being very friendly and approachable, and we are delighted with his photos. He really captured every element of the day, the people, the fun and the enjoyment, and lots of things we didn't get a chance to notice ourselves. We also appreciate his post shoot editing style, being understated and really documenting the day in the colors and tones we saw them.

    We had a pre-wedding shoot to get ourselves more comfortable with how the process would work, he was very flexible and traveled to a location of our choosing, which made it feel very personal. This pre-shoot made the wedding day run more smoothly as we knew what to expect and it was great to get to know him and feel relaxed with having our photos taken. He also really took the time to get to know what was important to us as part of our day.


    We feel Richard gave good value, for the excellent experience and quality that he provides in his work. His easy going manner helped us relax and enjoy the time shooting, we felt the opportunities when we went off for photos added to the day by giving us a chance to catch our breath, rather than taking away time. He melted into the background, we hardly knew he was there, in the best possible way, but equally many of our guests commented on how great he was.

    Thank you so much Richard,

    Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:

    Thom & Charlotte - thank you so much for your kind words. I had a great time getting to know and photographing the two of you during your pre-wedding shoot and incredible wedding earlier this year. It was such a brilliant celebration and loved every minute of photographing it for you. I hope to see you both at another celebration at some point!

    Fun, enthusiastic professional photographer!

    Richard put us at ease right from our first zoom call. Always willing to help and wanting to genuinely get to know us and what we wanted for our wedding. Booking during covid was obviously a nervous time but nothing was too much trouble for Richard. Had great communication from the beginning to getting our photos. Richard’s artistic eye is accomplished and he really understand the needs of his clients. He’s such a down to earth guy and always wanting the best for his couples. Stunning shots that we will cherish forever. Thank you!
