About

When shooting the natural side of a wedding, it's very much observe...anticipate...capture. If ever a profession could be put under the category of people-watching, this would be right up there. As every wedding is unique, photographing them is always intriguing and never repetitious.

We booked Richard for our wedding day and I was so happy with choosing him. I spent a long time speaking to different photographers to make sure I found someone who I felt comfortable with, would fit in perfectly and I didnt want a photo album full of formal photos but more relaxed candid photos from the day. Richard was perfect and I highly highly recommend!!! More...

We were looking for a wedding photographer who would capture the candid moments and Richard captured the emotions of our day perfectly. While we did have some “planned” photos, we let Richard work his magic and the photos we received bring back the memories of the day. Thank you Richard! More...

We're so glad we chose Richard as our wedding photographer. He was very professional but also made us feel very relaxed on the day. His pictures are natural rather than posed, and we absolutely love them. We would highly recommend him. More...

Richard and David photographed our wedding in December 2022 and they did a brilliant job! They were both very discreet, professional and pleasant to work with. We aren’t naturals in front of the cameras but they both made us feel at ease and helped guide our couple and family portraits. We have so many lovely natural photos from the day of ourselves and guests. We would highly recommend Richard to any newly engaged couples. Thank you so much! Sarah and Matt More...

We’ve only seen our preview photos from our wedding day so far but I trust that the rest will be of a similar quality. Every single person who has seen our photos has commented about the emotion in them before anything else. The day went by in a blur but so many reminded us of what we were thinking at certain points throughout the day. They truly document events and a whole range of different emotions. I still can’t stop looking at them and so many are favourites. Every single one has a number of stunning elements, whether it’s a look, an expressive face or really cool light. When we were choosing a photographer, I loved that Richard had a distinct style and thread running throughout all his photos yet each couple’s photos captured a different vibe: of their wedding day and them as a couple. It was also the light in Richard’s photos which made us choose him. I hadn’t seen these things done so well as I had with Richard. We also weren’t interested in anything trendy and the timeless quality of his photography really appealed to us. We didn’t care about this and would have waited for Richard to create beautiful photos but his turnaround time is very quick – which might be important to some. We had a fairly big selection of preview photos in a matter of days, which was nice when we were still basking in the afterglow. As well as being talented, Richard is also just a lovely guy. If you want really stunning photos which are somehow taken in the most unobtrusive way, you won’t regret booking him. Thank you. Lynsey & Kalil Aboukhalil More...

Richard and David were professional, fun, and very good quality photographers. They appear to have been doing this for a long time and haven't let up in their standards (5* reviews for 7+ years! ), and it shows. We loved their documentary style photography. Richard is quick to communicate and knows exactly what he's doing. We didn't have to instruct either of them at all during the day. Highly recommended! More...

Richard was by far the best supplier for our wedding. We love his photography style, and he produced some wonderful photos that really captured our day. He predominantly shoots documentary style, which meant we barely saw him all day, and yet he seemed to catch everything. At one point we spotted him popping up from behind a bush! As well as documentary shots, he took several 'formal' shots, but he kept it relaxed, making us all laugh the whole time. We ended up with over 800 photos in total, including edits. Beyond that, he made some great suggestions in planning, and his experience of weddings really helped - he seemed to guide the day, which meant we could relax and enjoy it.We couldn't recommend Richard more!

Choosing the right photographer to capture your big day is often a rather daunting task. As a wedding videographer myself, this decision was made even more difficult. After critically scrutinising hundreds of potential candidates, we made the decision to have Richard photograph our day and fortunately he was available! What stood out to us about Richard’s work was the raw nature of his shots, how he documents the day and the cinematic nature of his edits. As he states on his website, Richard photographs the day in a very real, unobtrusive way. With the exception of our arranged “posed” group and couple shots, it was easy to forget he was even there. Richard is the upmost professional. We live over 4 hours away from where we were getting married and so we had a phone meeting and one in person prior to our day. It was wonderful to be able to sit down in Richard’s office/ gallery and chat through everything we wanted. Having now received our images back from Richard, we are absolutely delighted. He was able to perfectly capture those special moments in the day, the ones that go by too quickly to realise at the time. If you make the decision to have Richard as your wedding photographer, you will not regret it. More...

We would highly recommend Richard - our pictures are stunning and truly reflect the atmosphere of the day. He is able to capture the moments perfectly without it feeling staged or being too intrusive. So many of our guests couldn’t believe the photos afterwards as they couldn’t remember him even being there. You also get the blog really quickly after the big day so it’s great to re live it all whilst you’re still on your wedding high! An amazing photographer and a great person to work with! More...

We could not be happier with the photographs Richard produced of our wedding in October 2016. The service he provided from start to finish was first class. He was always quick to respond to any email requests that we sent running up to the day, which I think is really important. When it came to the day, he was actually pretty much invisible (in a good way obviously!) he never made us feel like we constantly had a camera in our face, yet managed to capture every beautiful moment of our day, which I thought was incredible! My husband isn't a huge fan of having his photo taken, so this worked really well for us. After the day we only had to wait a few days and we had a USB stick delivered with all of the proofs to see, and a lovely video with some of the best shots of the day. This was just perfect for us as we were dying to see the photographs! James and I would highly recommend Richard to anyone, and can't thank him enough for capturing our wedding day with such gorgeous natural photographs. More...

Richard and David have produced an incredible photo album for us to look back on. They were very discrete on the big day and captured some wonderful natural shots, as well as traditional family photos. When we arrived back from our honeymoon 2 weeks later, we had all the proofs of the photos from the day, plus a very tasteful slideshow of edited photos! This was great to come home to and delayed the wedding blues.We were never pressured into choosing our final photos either. We finally chose them 2 months after the wedding and within 2 weeks we had been sent an initial layout, a second layout with amendments requested by us, and the finished product.My wife and I thoroughly recommend Richard Galloway Photography as they have captured every moment from the day that we wanted to remember, and more!

Richard and David have given us truly stunning images from our wedding, the day went in a flash, but the happy memories will be kept alive by their wonderful portrayal of the whole occasion as it unfolded. We arrived back from honeymoon 10 days after the wedding to have our proofs and a slideshow already waiting, which was such a lovely welcome home. We had wonderful feedback not only about their photos but also for the professional manner in which they were taken. They were not invasive, and very considerate of everyone around and blended in with the guests- so well in fact some people had to ask whether we in fact had a professional photographer in which we replied we had two! In the process of choosing the final prints for our album Richard was very helpful and patient with us especially as we took a while!

Q&As

A couple's wedding is the first chapter of the rest of their lives together, and to capture this is an absolute privilege. To be around such a cocktail of emotions and to document it all...it's just the best job in the world!

Photography was always something that interested me, and given that weddings were (mostly) on weekends, I was afforded the opportunity to continue with my then job whilst I discovered the challenges and rewards of running your own photography business. 14 years later and it's definitely a decision that worked out very well for me.

Photography is a subjective thing so it would be pointless for me to try and express why I think my images should capture the imagination of prospective clients.

What I also offer which I'm equally proud of is the attention that I give to each and every client of mine...it's not just about professional courtesy, it's about clients loving the whole process that they end up with pictures that they love and a service that they're blown away by.

Services

A predominantly documentary style of wedding photography, with a handful of family and couple shots taken too.
