Every special moment captured!

We couldn’t recommended Richard enough, from the start he was really responsive and lovely! We had a call a few weeks before the wedding to go through all the details which was reassuring and helped us feel at ease! On the wedding day, he was amazing, he managed to capture every special moment without it feeling too imposing. The videos are capture a real candid, romantic and true reflection of the day, that Richard has edited perfectly. We are so happy with our videos and professionalism from Richard. Thankyou so much!

Forever Festival 🪩

Richard and Izzy were an absolute dream team for our wedding day. Between them, the photos and video captured are absolutely gorgeous and captured the energy of the day perfectly. From beginning to end, Richard was really professional, friendly, and relaxed which was perfect for us. He talked to us lots to get to know us and our vibe, and was really responsive to messages and emails. The pricing is really fair for the incredible quality of his work, and he provided some beautiful preview pictures really quickly after our wedding day - we will treasure them forever. Thank you again Richard, you and Izzy were fantastic and we're SO excited to see the video footage and rest of the pics when they're ready!! Shanna and Tom xoxo

Excellent!

I worked with Richard (Specular Visuals) on a mutual client’s Wedding in March 2025 in Birmingham city centre across two (well technically three venues if you count where the Bride was getting ready!)
I contacted Richard a few days before to introduce myself and found him to be very responsive and friendly. On the Wedding day I instantly warmed to Richard as a photographer and fellow Wedding supplier; he has a really cool and calming nature that must put his couples at ease. Richard captured Molly & Greg’s day so beautifully- I can’t wait to see more photos. Wedding days are long and hard work for suppliers on their feet, but to still be smiling at the end of the night makes everyone involved feel good. Thanks Richard! Hopefully we’ll work together again. Cat, The Wedding Day Planner, Stourbridge. Aa

Best videographer ever! ⭐️

From the moment Richard arrived on our wedding day, he brought with him the kind of warmth, humour, and ease that every couple hopes for. He had this incredible ability to make everything feel effortless — never intrusive, never staged — just beautifully natural. In fact, there were times we forgot we were being filmed at all, which speaks volumes about how seamlessly he worked in the background, capturing every laugh, tear, and tender glance without ever making us feel on display.

When we received our wedding reel, we were completely floored. Somehow, in just a few minutes, Richard managed to distil the essence of our day — the joy, the emotion, the love — into something so moving and cinematic that it left us both in tears. It was like watching a dream version of our wedding, only it was real, and it was ours.

We are counting down the days until we see the full video, but even just from the reel, it’s clear that Richard has a rare gift. He doesn’t just document a day — he tells a story, your story, in the most thoughtful and breathtaking way.

We are endlessly grateful to him for giving us a memory we can treasure forever. If you’re lucky enough to have Richard film your wedding, you’ll understand just how special he is. We truly cannot recommend him enough.

Love, Lysbeth and Aaron 🥹😊

So Pleased!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Specular Visuals for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our photos, the team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and creativity.

The photographers were not only skilled in capturing stunning images, but they also made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Their ability to blend into the background while still capturing every special moment was impressive. They truly have an eye for detail.

Overall, Specula Visuals made our wedding experience even more memorable with their outstanding work. If you’re looking for a talented and dedicated photography team, look no further than Specular Visuals. Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully!

Couldn't be Happier!

From the beginning when we saw Specular Visuals work we knew we had found our photo and video supplier. From the beginning Richard was knowledgable and professional. What we were most impressed by was the quality of the work and the value for money. Many other photographers we looked at didn't seem as well priced and such a high standard. We would highly recommend the team at Specular Visuals.

Five star service

We absolutely love our wedding video and could not recommend Specular Visuals enough. We had Izzy with us on the day filming and she was so friendly and brilliant and put us both at ease.

We’ve just had our wedding video back and the finished product is just fantastic - it completely captures the day perfectly.

We just want to say thank you to Richard and the whole team for the amazing job you’ve done!

Fantastic videographer

Videographer was high on our priority list for our wedding, and we could not be happier with our choice of Specular Visuals. And they proved to be the perfect choice before, during and after the wedding. Before the wedding, we were able to discuss everything with Richard, and he listened perfectly to what we wanted and how we visualised our day on video. On the day, Richard was absolutely fantastic to work with, we felt completely at ease and he was always a friendly face to see. As for after, we really could not be happier with our wedding videos. Specular Visuals have done a fantastic job of capturing our day and we are so grateful, and can't recommend them highly enough!

Such detail!

We had our photos and videos back from Richard and the team. We were so pleased with everything. He also did us some extra videos of the ceremony and speeches which we really appreciated! We would highly recommend Specular Visuals for their price and professional.

Now a wedding video convert!

From the very beginning of wedding planning, I was 100% sure I did not want a wedding video having seen many cringey and cheesy wedding videos over the years. However, as the planning progressed and various conversations with friends and colleagues who assured me I would regret not having a videographer, I came to reconsider. Due to my previous opinions, I was quite picky on which videographer to choose and went with Specular Visuals in the end due to their natural style and I really great audio they were able to capture in their videos with the ceremony and speeches being one of the main things I wanted recording. The packages at Specular Visuals were exactly what I needed and I felt they were very good value for money, having been quoted ridiculous amounts for much less edited footage of the same quality, while also seeing cheaper videographers with really shoddy quality footage and audio. The video I have received far exceeds my expectations and I absolutely love it. I am well and truly a wedding video convert. Izzy on the day was incredibly friendly and helpful while Richard was very collaborative in the editing process. I would highly recommend to everyone!

Over the moon with our wedding videos!!

We are over the moon with our wedding videos! Richard was professional, answering our questions before we booked and the booking process was super easy. Izzy came and filmed our day and was brilliant - so lovely and super relaxed which was great as a couple a bit nervous about having a videographer follow us around for the day. The videos came back to us on time and are beyond what we had hoped for! Richard gave us the opportunity to ask for any changes or edits we may want however none were needed - it was perfect. Highly recommend Specular Visuals to capture your day.
