Richard was our wedding photographer. Communication before the day was great and Richards presence during day was very pleasant. He made a really amazing report of the entire day and we are so happy we have the great quality photos to look back to. More...

Richard is calm, inquisitive and listens well, and consequently able to understand the character of the subject, and therefore find the right environment in which to deliver the goal. Cambridge City has no shortage of suitable backdrops, and Richard was able to draw out excellent natural colours from the sun shining in particular ways on the buildings. I'd highly recommend.

Absolute 5 stars all round! Not even sure where to start - Richard was super easy to communicate with, incredibly reliable, very pro-active with information in the run-up to the wedding, very clear about what was included in the package and very accommodating with all requests. On the day he put us all at ease, which you can see in the photos! We only hired Richard for an hour, but he captured the day so beautifully, all our guests were blown away by the photos. Thank you again, Richard, for giving us such amazing memories. More...

Richard was great! He was unobtrusive and yet managed to get some stunning shots of our performers. He willingly organised the images afterwards so that I could share them to individuals rather than send all. Will definitely use Richard again.

Richard was great! He was very communicative and informative throughout the process, always replied in good time to emails and answered our questions. He photographed our wedding, and the prices were very reasonable and the images wonderfully crisp. He accommodated our 'natural, not Instagram fake' wishes for photos, and took a good amount on the day so we had plenty to choose from for our album. He has a nice, easygoing way no doubt born of experience, so was wonderful to work with and we felt we could tell him what we wanted. Recommended! More...

Really great photos of my two Labs. Richard was very accommodating of multiple locations and took the time to befriend my dogs. The result was fantastic photos (even on an overcast day) both static and action shots. We realised during the shoot that we didn't have a photo of us all together - but thanks to Richard we now do, and it's one of the best of the day. Highly recommended and easily worth the money.

Highly recommended! Richard photographed our wedding and during a time that is already busy enough with planning, we were pleased with how relaxed, friendly and hassle-free the experience with Richard was. The photos are incredible and Richard's professionalism showed through with how well he organised group photos and how unobtrusive he was during the ceremony. More...
