Unbelievably fantastic

From minute one, Richard was fantastic. We discussed ideas for pictures and styles of pictures prior to the big day and Richard was realistic but very open minded about what 0we wanted (pictures on top of box hill - on a semi rainy day). On the day he was incredible, he manged to get lots of candid photos as well as posed pictures and threw in a couple off the cuff as we'd had a magnificent double rainbow appear which just made some of the pictures look amazing. Every time there was an opportunity, he was able to capture it - i guess that's his job but that's what made him so good.

Overall:
Literally everything we wanted and more. The pictures that came out were incredible. Would 100% recommend.

Amazing Wedding Photographer

Richard was easygoing and helpful from the initial video call. He was so helpful amd responded to all of our questions. On the day, he was a lovely guy to have around - when we noticed him, which wasn't very often! He was keen to capture any particular shots we wanted, but gave lots of helpful suggestions as well :) Our guests all commented on what a lovely guy he was, and such a friendly photographer. He captured so many special moments that we weren't even aware of - it's been a pleasure looking back through the album! Thanks so much Richard!

We couldn't be happier, and highly recommend Richard.

We cannot recommend Richard highly enough. From initially reaching out to him, he was responsive, thoughtful, accommodating and friendly - during the planning process, we had multiple different vendors who he was working with tell us what a pleasure it was to deal with him, and we certainly found the same. Richard was in touch early on, and we really appreciated the call he suggested to run through the day. He really captured our wedding perfectly; his photography is professional and extremely high-quality, while at the same time managing to capture the personalities of us and our guests. One of the guests said after the wedding that they were particularly impressed that Richard was not overbearing or demanding, but nevertheless created an excellent wedding album.

We couldn't be happier, and highly recommend Richard.

Richard was amazing from the first video call to last picture

Richard was warm, knowledgeable and accommodating from the start. He went out his way to get to know us as a couple over the months before our wedding. Richard came to us before the big day to meet us in person and take photos of us. He went over and above to make sure everything was right on the big day. He was riendly to all the guests which put them at ease and enabled him to get some great pictures. I couldn't recommend him enough. Amazing photographer and amazing person.

Fantastic photographer!

Richard, assisted by second photographer, Rob, did the most fantastic job and I wouldn't change a thing. They were so professional from start to finish and made us all feel at ease with their suggestions for photos and also ensuring we had all the shots we wanted too. And the final photos were just stunning! We are over the moon with how they all turned out and have loved reliving our day through the pictures!

A wonderful experience

Richard was a pleasure to have photograph my wedding. From the beginning communication was great over email and then we had a meeting where we went through every detail. On the day he was everywhere and captured every moment. A thoroughly nice guy and did very well to corral everyone for some group shots. When we received the pictures we couldn’t have been happier. He truly captured our day perfectly. Not just with posed shots but lots of lovely ‘sneaky’ ones of everyone having a great time. We will cherish the pictures forever and cannot thank him enough for doing such an amazing job!

So much more than just a photographer

Richard was an absolute gem at our wedding. From the incredibly kind and professional communication beforehand up to his work at our wedding day! He took the most gorgeous pictures, he was up for every silly idea, his editing was amazing and tbh it felt like having a friend, a secret additional guest at the wedding. A very sweet, kind and talented artist who would make feel any bride (no matter how awkward with photos or posing) feel like a beloved queen. Don't hesitate, trust me! Book him! Thanks for everything, Richard, you are one of a kind

Farnham Castle Wedding

Richard was and has been an incredible photographer for our wedding. Very thorough in the buildup to make sure we had everything in place for our day. He was brilliant throughout a long day that took place between sites and made sure he was present, but not conflicting with guests or our videographer. He has an attention to detail, that clearly shows through our final pictures. We love them, so thank you to Richard. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Outstanding

I don’t think we could have booked a better photographer. The photos are phenomenal, capturing all the happiness of the day and all the key moments. Richard was so easy to work with and his passion for photography really shone through. We are going to need to buy a lot more frames because so many of the photos will be going up on the wall!!

Absolutely amazing!

I chose Richard having used him professionally - as soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted to have him be my wedding photographer, knowing how brilliant, friendly and calm he is - not to mention how amazing his photos are! He was fantastic with all the communication up until the day, and on the day arrived early and was snapping away before we arrived. He was with us throughout the day and took so many amazing, brilliant photos - posed and candids, we are so happy with them. The speed with which he turned them around was fantastic, too! Our guests commented on how friendly and relaxed he was and he made everyone feel at ease. The photos captured the joy of the day so well, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Richard!

A visual feast!

Richard embodies all the characteristics you want in a photographer – professional, artistic and fun.
From the moment we contacted Richard we knew we didn’t have to look any further. We immediately had confidence in his ability and his demeanour was warm and welcoming.
On the day he made the guests, DJ and venue staff feel at ease and was constantly thinking of new ideas and angles to achieve the best images. We now can’t stop looking at the photographs we received – a visual feast!
Highly recommended.

Fantastic photography!

Richard is an extremely talented photographer - to the point that after our engagement photos we knew we wanted to choose him as our wedding photographer as well. He really knew how to capture the essence of our relationship through the photos. On top of that, Richard is super friendly and kind. During the shoot, he guided us through different ideas, angles and locations. He has a lot of experience in wedding photography and I couldn’t recommend a better photographer for an engagement or wedding album than Richard from Raw Weddings!

Exactly what we wanted

What an absolute triumph! We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer, and Richard's images captured our day so beautifully.
Richard (Raw Weddings) was so much fun, constantly had us at ease and impressed us with his unique artistic style. We knew from the second we first got in touch that he was the only photographer for us. I can't begin to tell you how many times we've laughed, smiled and cried as we go through our photos, and also how many of them we've proudly printed large to have on our walls! We will always be recommending Richard, an easy 10 out of 10.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
