S Goldstone Sent on 11/12/2023Incredible. 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.Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:
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 -

What can I say about Richard? We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the start Richard put us at ease and felt like an old friend. He was so friendly from the first call, talking us through everything and asking all the right questions to get to know us.
He was a calming presence in the week before the wedding when stress was VERY high, telling us not to worry and that all was in hand.
On the day, he was everywhere and yet seamlessly part of it all. I realised that other than my now husband, he was probably the person I spent the most time with on our wedding day and it was a pleasure. Rather than feeling like we had a stranger following us around, it felt like we had a mate keeping us upbeat and calm whilst getting some snaps. He was flexible with time and what we needed and was just a joy to be around.
Now, the other important bit - the pictures! They are fabulous. We didn't want endless static group shots and to spend the whole day lining people up. We wanted a genuine capture of the day and that's exactly what we got. There are so many great shots of all of our guests and even us! We are not a naturally photogenic couple and Richard managed to make us comfortable enough to get some good ones - not cheesy or staged.
I honestly couldn’t recommend Richard more — he was exceptional, and will add so much to any wedding or event.Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:
Sarah! Thank you so much for taking the time to write such lovely words. Getting to know the two of you then shooting your brilliant wedding has been one of the highlights of this year. Seeing you both relax into the day and have the best time put a big smile on my face - and I think the joy and love for you from all your closest people shines through in the images. I hope our paths cross again some time soon!

A fun, knowledgable and incredibly talented person and photographer!
Richard has been an incredible person to work with throughout our wedding planning! He’s easy to get along with and extremely knowledgable and professional, not just with the camera but also when it comes to coordinating between the vendors, making sure you and the guests feel comfortable and guiding you through the wedding planning and the day. He showed up to the venues ahead of time to scout for good spots for us to have a first look, worked with our videographer to make the whole day as smooth as possible and ensured were always running on schedule even when hiccups and delays inevitably popped up. When we received the photos, we were completely blown away by just how talented he is with ensuring the settings are spot-on each time and finding the best lighting and composition for each shot! We re-live the magic every time we look back at our photos, enjoying especially the ones from behind the scenes we missed on the wedding day, for example moments as we were getting ready or when the guests were starting to arrive. We could not have found a better photographer for our wedding and anyone would be lucky to have him capture your day!!!Richard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:
What a fantastic review. Thank you! Getting to know you both... from meeting you at the venue showcase through to your pre-wedding shoot and then your wedding itself has been so much fun. So many magical memories to go along with some fantastic photos too. Keep up with your own photography and see you in 2026! -

Wonderful!
Asking Richard to be part of our wedding day was by far our best decision! He somehow managed to bring calm and energy and know exactly what we needed and wanted before we even knew ourselves. Everyone said how wonderful he was and the photos incredible. Even the most camera shy were at ease around Richard and we now have some treasured photos of such a happy day. We have absolutely no idea how we are going to choose which photos to have framed as they are all wonderful! Thank you so much again Richard! Emily & MarcusRichard Murgatroyd Photography's reply:
What lovely words. Thanks Emily! It was an honour to be invited into your world and photograph such an amazing day with such brilliant people. Hope to see you both again soon! -

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!

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! -

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! -

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 guestsRichard 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! -
