We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer!

Ria catered to us in every way and made us both feel so much more at ease on the day, which made such a difference. Everyone feels a bit nervous on their wedding day, but Ria made it so we didn’t have to worry about the camera at all and could just be present in the moment, enjoying every bit of our day. She also made sure we got all the photos we wanted.

The photos are absolutely stunning, and we’re completely in love with them. We also received them so quickly, and the quality is amazing.

We’re so grateful and would recommend Ria to anyone! 🤍

She laughed and joked and fitted in perfectly

Ria captured our wedding day, she was amazing and felt so at home and relaxed with her she laughed and joked and fitted in perfectly like she was part of us! I can’t thank her enough for the beautiful pictures captured even of our tricky 2 year old who is camera shy, Ria got memories that will last us a lifetime and hang on our wall so we can relive it every day!!!
Thank you so much love the Mills x

Most attentive, empathetic and understanding person I have EVER met

Where to even start Ria, from start to finish was the most attentive, empathetic and understanding person I have EVER met! Not only did she make the experience and process so smooth, she welcomed our wedding guests and family like her own! She put her own spin on pictures which turned out amazing but also listened to what we wanted. I couldn’t recommend her enough! To say that I had received so many compliments and gave out many recommendations for her was an understatement! Everybody loved her!! Above and beyond service

Absolutely incredible!

Ria was absolutely incredible from start to finish - she made us feel completely at ease and captured our wedding day in the most natural, beautiful way. Nothing felt staged, yet every moment was documented so thoughtfully, allowing us to relive both the big emotions and the small details we would have otherwise missed.
She blended seamlessly into the day and the final photos exceeded all expectations - timeless, elegant, and full of feeling. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her! Thank you!

Amazing wedding photographer!

Ria was our wedding photographer and we’re so happy with how our photos came out. Ria went above and beyond to get all the shots we wanted and more. She arrived at the bridal suite for when we were getting ready in the morning and stayed right up until after the first dance and when everyone was up on the dance floor.

Ria made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed as she’s naturally a lovely, bubbly and friendly person. She really makes you feel at ease being photographed. My Husband doesn’t like having his photos taken and even he really enjoyed our couples wedding photoshoot on the venue grounds.

Ria’s photography is natural, candid, light and beautiful, she really captured all the special moments of the day on camera.

Ria also send a preview album of some photos before sending all the photos over. This was really lovely as we were so keen to see the photos and reminisce after the wedding.

Thank you Ria for doing such an incredible job at our wedding photography and thank you for being such a lovely person!

With love,
Lauren & Nick x

Amazing photographer

Ria was so kind. She made us feel at ease on our wedding day and took some amazing photos. Most of the time we didn’t even realise she was there taking pictures so we got some fantastic natural ones. She got our photos back to us so quickly and we are really pleased with all of them.
