Tabi Sent on 27/06/2026Lovely guy, lovely photos!
We recruited Richard to take our wedding photos based on his gorgeous portfolio and he went above and beyond. More than that Richard is a lovely, down-to-earth fellow with such a cheerful attitude that relaxes anyone being photographed. He was so thorough all day, catching every great moment and moving like a chameleon throughout the whole event. It's been a joy today looking at all of the posed and candid snapshots with our favourite people and regardless of the weather, Richard makes everything look dreamy!
Hugely recommend Richard Wakefield for any of your photography needs and can guarantee you will not be disappointed. -

Chloe Sent on 17/05/2026Amazing wedding photography!
Richard was brilliant to work with from start to finish. We loved his focus on natural photos, playing beautifully with light and capturing the most important moments of the day. From our initial video call, we knew we had to pick Richard as he made us feel so much at ease, he was really down to earth and seemed to understand that neither of us were very confident in front of the camera! Communication throughout was great and he even arrived a little early and stayed later, just to get all the shots for us. He is absolutely lovely and we have had comments from our guests about how friendly he was, how it felt like he was a wedding guest and how impressed they were. We are so happy with our shots and could not recommend him highly enough. Thank you Richard for capturing all the beautiful moments, the laughs, the tears and joy from the day. We will treasure our photos, always! -

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.

Thanks so very much Terry and Naomi - you both equally made my job so pleasurable, as you're such a fun couple and were so willing to go with the flow (i.e. crazy weather, but in a good way!!). I had such a great time, so a big THANKS back. Have a most splendid, long and happy marriage :) -

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!Raw Weddings - Photography's reply:
Thanks so much Rhiann and Richard - you both should be so proud of your wedding day, as every detail and moment was just perfect! I loved being a part of it all, and you both were so lovely to hang around with and get to know. Wishing you all the very best in the future. -

Alex Sent on 12/08/2025We 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.Raw Weddings - Photography's reply:

Emily Sent on 01/08/2025Fantastic 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!Raw Weddings - Photography's reply:

Jennifer Sent on 09/06/2025So 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 -
