A wedding is the occasion of a lifetime. But it’s also an event that passes quickly and all those beautiful memories fade away over time. To preserve them, you’ll need reliable and skilled photographers who can capture all your important moments for you to cherish for the years ahead.

Wedding Photography
Richard was fantastic.. we liaised quite a bit in weeks before the wedding as there were many changes due to covid updates, etc.
so I got to know him and his personality quite well. Meeting Richard was an absolute pleasure he is a genuinely lovely person and takes his job seriously, as well as having a good sense of fun and humour, which was important to us. He arrived at the ceremony early... got some gorgeous snaps there and vocalised how and where he wanted people to stand to get the best shots, as we had discussed prior to the day any personal requests, wants and must haves for pics on day. He then arrived at the reception before any of us, to be there early and setup. Again took lovely snaps of everyone and made sure he didn't miss anyone out. We invited him to join in and have the wedding lunch aswell, which he was so appreciative of, and was also a pleasure for us to be able to do that.
Everyone from our family commented on how nice Richard was and that made us feel very happy that our guests were at ease around him.
I would highly recommend this lovely gentleman, to capture your day for you. 'Excellent job. Professional work ethic. Genuinely a nice person.'

A fantastic photographer!
Very good communication with me before the big date, very reasonably priced and a quick but amazing picture turnaround.
It was a lockdown wedding. He dutifully wore his mask in what was about 35⁰ inside the church. Rich is a likeable character and was blending perfectly into the background; I barely noticed he was there! He had some good ideas for pictures and followed what we wanted, too!
And he did a retouch that was beyond what most photographers would do which was very kind of him!
100% would recommend.

Richard initially met with us to get to know us and to seek out what we wanted on our wedding day. He also accompanied us to the photo venue prior to the wedding in order to prepare for capturing the right photos and backdrops. This was very much appreciated. His assistant Frederique on our Wedding day was also very professional and went to great lengths in helping in capturing memorable photos of our wedding. Richard is truly professional and generated a relaxed atmosphere amongst our guests. We are very delighted to say that he made it a truly enjoyable and unforgetable day. Richard comes highly recommendable. More...

Our wedding was very simple, and short, but this didn't stop Richard from ensuring we got the photos we wanted. He also went to great lengths to incorporate the best features of the building.
Richard is calm and instinctive. Our photos were perfect - highly recommend @rugfoot !

I cannot recommend Richard & Rugfoot highly enough. He was helpful from the start with ideas and suggestions relating to my parents wedding. He was at the venue early scouting the area for great back drops and was very discreet when taking pictures before, during and after the ceremony whilst mingling with guests. The feedback from my parents and the guests regarding the final selected pictures have been nothing more than impressive. Thank you More...
Jackie Pickersgill
Last year Richard worked with our charity on a photography project on location in a conflict zone. Not only was Richard professional and hard working but it was a pleasure to work and travel with him. Plus, the shots produced were fantastic and have been used in various media marketing and promotional channels since. More...

Richard is very professional- so hard working and diligent. He consistently gets the atmosphere of the shoot and works well with the musicians and their team. He's been our in-house photographer at Bush Hall for a couple of years and the impact he's had on the venue is massive. More...
Laura Lynch
Really wonderful all around experience. Richard took the time to go to our venue ahead of time and scout the area and plan a bit of our shoot ahead of time. It really felt like a top notch experience. His work is really well done and captures the authentic joy of the day and special moments shared! Really grateful for our experience and photos! More...

Me and my wife got married on the 6/12/2014. Richard was our photographer for the day and we were so happy we used him. He made the day even more special, he made us feel at total ease and the photos were absolutely beautiful. I have no doubt in my mind to recommend his services to anyone. If you want your most precious moments captured please use Richard you will not be disappointed. Best photographer I have ever met !!!!!!!!! More...
Glastonbury Festival Cinema Tent
We run the official cinema tent (Pilton Palais) at Glastonbury Festival. We were privileged to have Rich working with us during the festival , summer of 2016, and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. 1) Prior to start of project he makes sure he understands the objectives, priorities and needs of client. He's an experienced , yet attentive photographer who carefully understands what you want. Clarity of vision is the name of the game with Rich, Not only does he have it in abundance, but also he'd help you achieve it. 2 ) He is a skilled, professional photographer and, in my opinion, what makes Rich a top 'event' photographer is his unique ability to capture that perfect moment amidst all the chaos. In the job he has done with us, he was able to deliver superb photos even when it was low light conditions (inside the tent), too muddy around the festival and too many people moving around everywhere. 3) He is a reliable professional and his professionalism is backed by his true passion for photography and his emotional intelligence. We are hoping that Rich would join us in future festivals to cover our events and we trust you will be just as happy if you have the good fortune to have him cover yours. More...

Our Charity have used Richard on Location in high risk conflict zones - his calm approach to the task and keen eye for capturing the real essence of the moment has given us a great visual resource to help us tell the story from the field. Highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed. More...

I have commissioned Richard for several jobs and have been consistently impressed with his reliability and creativity. He is extremely professional. The quality of his photos is excellent, as he has a rare knack of capturing key moments, and producing photos which really reflect the spirit of an event. Most recently, I used him to take informal, 'reportage' type photos at an awards ceremony and he did a brilliant job. His photos of the winners and audience members were engaging and beautifully composed. I have worked with other photographers on similar occasions and Richard stands out. I would highly recommend him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love being part of one of the most special days in someone's lives, and playing a role in ensuring they have great memories through the pictures I give them. I love getting to know my couples, finding out what makes them tick, their back stories. All this goes into the way we shoot them.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I'm doing what I love, taking photos. And working with people, to give them something special. Of course, I love being my own boss and being able to manage my time and take strategic decisions to shape the way the business goes.
Why should our clients choose you?
First and foremost, we deliver great quality images, capturing all the emotion of the day. But there's a lot more to a wedding photography service. I've been to many weddings and I've seen the photographer doing a great job, but then I never got to see any of the photos. We deliver a gallery of retouched images with a link within one week and on the day we give out postcards to guests with that link on so they can find the pictures without having to bother the happy couple (who are often on honeymoon). We use the latest mirrorless cameras, which are totally silent, which can be important at certain points during the day. We also offer a unique add-on service, a pop-up portrait studio, which guests really love and which gives them some treasured pictures of themselves and their families on the day. We don't ask silly prices and we are very flexible with our pricing. We don't force our customers into specific packages, but rather we listen to how many hours shooting they want, how many photographers and what services, and we tailor our prices accordingly - it's your wedding after all!
Pop-up portrait studio
We bring along a professional portrait backdrop and lighting and we set up in a convenient place at your reception venue and we get beautiful pictures of your guests in all their finery. They make for great additions to your thank-you-for-coming cards. And it makes for some extra entertainment for your guests on the day.
