    Absolutely amazing!

    We honestly couldn’t recommend River enough.
    From the moment he arrived, he just felt like part of the day. We’re definitely not the most comfortable people in front of a camera, but he made us feel completely at ease and it never felt awkward.

    When we got our photos back, we were blown away. I’ve been looking through them constantly since we received them. He somehow managed to capture so many little moments we didn’t even realise were happening, and they’re just as special as the big ones.

    Our wedding album is beautiful too. The quality is amazing, and having all our favourite photos together in one place makes it so special. It’s something we’ll keep coming back to for years.

    We’re so grateful for everything he did and couldn’t be happier that we chose him.

    So so good!

    River was absolutely amazing! He went above and beyond not only during our wedding but also during our engagement photos. He’s so kind and creative I’d 100% recommend him!

    Naomi and Dan October 24

    River was an excellent photographer and we would highly recommend him. (All our guests commented how lovely he was too ) River put myself and my husband at ease and our photographs are stunning. We loved how River set up a Photo presentation in the evening of some of the pictures taken during the day.
    River was easy to communicate with. Great value for money.


    Thank you River

    We were so incredibly lucky to have River capturing our wedding at Whitley Hall on the 9th of November, and honestly I cannot recommend him highly enough!

    He was absolutely brilliant throughout, from the initial phone conversations through to the day itself he has been an absolute pleasure to work with. The previews and sneak peeks we had were absolutely stunning and when we received our finished gallery this week we were over the moon! We are so unbelievably happy with all of them and so grateful!

    He went above and beyond for us and we cannot thank him enough!

    Great photographer, would recommend!

    River was brilliant at our wedding. He was lovely and really listened to what we wanted, and afterwards loads of our guests said how brilliant he'd been. As a queer couple we were a bit worried about finding a photographer, but River was great!

    Great experience- highly recommended

    River photographed our wedding for us in August 2024 @ Whirlowbrook Hall in Sheffield. He shared some previews in the evening reception in the bar which was great, the pictures themselves were edited and shared in a week or so and the service and photo's received were of a high standard. We would recommend River and his work highly.

    River helped create a professional and calming aura about our day

    River helped create a professional and calming aura about our day. A pleasant person to work with who listened to our vision and what we wanted and brought it to life with his artistic ways of capturing those special moments. He was very transparent with us talking us through every step of the day and shared his thoughts also with us to create a seamless working relationship. River shared some great ideas with us which extended from not just photography but his experience with various weddings providing helpful tips and ideas which we implemented into our wedding day which made it much more special.

    River provided a quick turn around with photos despite it being a very busy wedding season. The quality of the photos where incredible and we really thank him and Luke (The videographer) for working so hard on our wedding day.

    Incredible Gallery

    If you are a nervous and awkward bride and groom, and hate taking pictures, look no further, River is your guy. He made us feel extremely comfortable, always checking in to see whether we are okay to take photos. He captured our intimate wedding of 20 people beautify. Thank you River for creating the memories that would last forever!!

    Professional and beautiful photography

    I booked River and he was absolutely amazing to work with!
    He is easy to talk to and very receptive and open ideas, he also helped us figure out the best way to take advantage of various points in the day to get a wide variety of shots.
    He was great corralling the guests for photos, as well as taking candid photos.
    Everyone at the reception mentioned how friendly he. and I couldn't have found anyone better!
