Perfect photographer for a perfect day

Richard did our Wedding photography and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Very professional throughout and especially helpful in the preparation and detail, asking great questions we hadn't considered. On the day, he made everyone very relaxed and captured some brilliant magical moments. We would 100% recommend Richard to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Captured our magical day perfectly!

My husband and I got married on 12th November 2022. Richard was the photographer we chose to capture our special day and we couldn’t be happier with our experience.
We first looked at Richard’s website (thisisrichard.co.uk) and we were both very impressed. His website was modern, up to date and professional. We absolutely loved his style of photography while scrolling through his portfolio. His compositions almost had a warm, modern retro/vintage flavour which we were drawn to and was a perfect balance of natural candid shots and posed shots. We then arranged to meet Richard to chat with him and gage if we would click and work well together. When we met him, he was so friendly and laid back – we knew instantly that he was the photographer we wanted to work with.
What made us even more elated was the fact Richard got married at our venue The Mill and was particularly enthusiastic to shoot there, which made us even more excited & made him even more ideal as he could put himself in our shoes and had an existing knowledge & an eye for places to compose shots.
On the build up to our wedding, Richard made himself accessible via email and WhatsApp which was really helpful if we had any queries or updates. We also met up with him one final time the week or so before our wedding to finalise the entire plan of the day and what our wants and expectations were (for instance what particular shots we would like). Being able to reach Richard anytime was very important and reassuring to us both.
On the day, Richard was amazing. He worked incredibly alongside our videographer Steve from Capture by Design – they were an amazing team and bounced off each other extremely well. They both honestly made our day so easy and enjoyable. They were able to capture special natural moments throughout the day, but also put us at ease when doing our couple portraits too (as neither one of us are comfortable in front of a camera). All of our guests commented on how friendly, sociable and efficient/professional they both were. Richard had the perfect mixture of blending into the background so that we, as well as our guests, didn’t feel too conscious about the camera and having the personality to work with a crowd when facilitating family portraits and group shots.
Richard had given us clear expectations that it would take between 8-12 weeks to receive our photo gallery and he delivered on this promise. We were over the moon with all of our photo’s, they were what we had hoped for and more. Upon receiving our photo gallery we couldn’t stop looking at them – we loved being able to share them with our family and friends (all of whom adored them as well). We are beyond grateful to Richard that we have these stunning photos to treasure forever.
He is very talented. The photographs that we received just demonstrate how skilled and proficient he is in his craft. We would 100% recommend Richard to anyone. So much so that my sister used his services for her wedding in February 2023.
Thank you, Richard! From Olivia & Tom.

Beautiful wedding at the Belsfield overlooking Lake Windermere!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Richard James as the photographer for our wedding, and I cannot sing enough praises for his incredible photography skills. I would like to share my glowing review about Richard's work.

Richard proved to be not only an immensely talented photographer but also an absolute joy to work with. From the beginning, he was patient, polite, and great fun, making us feel at ease during the entire process.

One of the standout moments was when Richard skillfully used his drone to capture an epic group shot of all our guests. It was a truly unique and breathtaking view that we will cherish forever.

Before the wedding, Richard had thorough consultations with us, ensuring that we felt secure and confident about our photography plans. This attention to detail gave us peace of mind, knowing that our precious memories were in safe hands.

On the big day, Richard effortlessly mingled with our guests, creating a relaxed atmosphere and ensuring the photographs didn't intrude on the festivities. We appreciated that he struck the perfect balance between capturing beautiful moments and allowing us to fully enjoy our special day.

Richard's familiarity with our venue was evident as he took us to the lake for some truly stunning shots. His creativity and knowledge of the surroundings made for unforgettable and magical photographs.

Overall, Richard James is not just an exceptional photographer, but a genuinely great guy who went above and beyond to deliver stunning images that left us completely blown away. We are forever grateful for his talent and the incredible memories he captured for us.

If you're seeking a photographer who is not only skilled but also personable and professional, I wholeheartedly recommend Richard James. His passion for his craft shines through in every image he captures, and he will undoubtedly make your special day even more extraordinary.

Thank you, Richard, for making our wedding unforgettable with your exceptional photography!

Warmest regards,

Craig & Natasha

Richard is a fabulous Wedding Photographer!

As soon as we met Richard, we thought we’d found someone very special, and after meeting him we knew that he was the only professional we wanted to photograph our wedding.

We didn’t want a typical set of posed wedding photographs that we would never look at. We were hoping for wedding photos that could reflect the feeling and energy of our special day.

He did an amazing job of capturing moment after moment in a way that tells a story through different perspectives, and takes you back to those moments every time you look at the photos.

The photos of the day speak for themselves. They are everything we asked for and so much more, each one is an expression of joy and love.

Richard is both fantastic at photography and also moments he caught on his drone. He is so professional and so dedicated, nothing is too much trouble.
He is a genuine and talented artist who was a highlight of our wedding.

All correspondence leading up to the wedding was friendly, easy, helpful and responsive. Richard was completely getting and understanding us as a couple, and the wedding atmosphere we wanted to achieve. He listened intently and understood our every need, whilst providing great creativity and guidance.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Richard. He was flexible, fun, and down to earth and captured shots without being intrusive.
Throughout the entire day and evening he seamlessly fitted in with all our friends and family. He was very friendly, laid back and super accommodating.

He went above and beyond what was asked of him to make the day perfect, and we will aways enjoy the photos he took. Not just remembering the day but the amazing man who took them.

Richard was an absolute superstar, not just on the day but also before and after.

We honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more, and words cannot express how grateful we are. 10/10.

We love our wedding photos.

Favourite moments and special details

We are so glad we chose Richard as our wedding photographer! Not only is he a talented photographer, he was so committed to capturing our wedding and making sure that his approach suited us and aligned with our envisaged day. Richard met up with us before the wedding to get to know us and chat about our plans for the event. He arrived early and left late, and much to our delight, even brought a drone (which made a fun and memorable group shot of us and our guests). He captured our favourite moments, plus all the special details of the day for us to be able to look back on in years to come. Thank you so much for your hard work Richard, we really appreciate it and absolutely love our wedding photos!

Thank you Richard!

Richard has been brilliant on our wedding day from beginning till end. He's absolutely passionate in what he's doing and that shows! The communication before the wedding day was wonderful, he even checked the venue and the whole area a day before the wedding to make sure he knew were all the good spots are. He was very helpful on the day itself, he went to see the guys first who were getting ready, and then he came to see the lady's. He was super relaxed and even stayed a bit longer to shoot some more dancefloor pics. On top of that we received some samples the next day already! Including a stunning shot in the rain. Thank you Richard, for making this day even better!
Kind regards
Jey and Puck

Amazing wedding photography

Richard provided an excellent service from start to finish. He listened to our requirements and put us at ease. Richard captured some beautiful shots of just the two of us at a local landmark, away from our venue as we had requested. Richard blended well among our guests and everyone commented on how good he was. He was very patient even though we had requested numerous family and friends shots at both the church and wedding venue. We will treasure these images of our day forever. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him in the future. Thanks Richard!
