Lancashire & Cumbria Wedding Photographer

Natural, relaxed wedding photography across Lancashire, Cumbria & the Lake District. No awkward posing. No spending hours away from your guests. Just you enjoying your wedding while I capture the people, laughs and moments that make it yours.

Your Wedding. Not A Photoshoot.

Hey, I'm Richard.

I'm a Lancashire wedding photographer covering weddings across Lancashire, Cumbria and the Lake District.

My approach is pretty simple — your wedding should feel like a wedding, not an all-day photoshoot.

I'll give you a bit of direction when you need it, blend into the background when you don't, and capture the laughs, people and little moments happening around you.

You enjoy the day. I'll worry about the photographs.

“JUST ANOTHER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER?”

Not at all! I’d like to say that I take great pride in the work I do, every wedding is special to me and I really understand how big a decision choosing your wedding photographer is, lets get you onboard with relaxed, fun and natural wedding photography and away from stiff boring wedding photography!

My couples really do say it’s like having a pal with them for the day and that I blend in seamlessly, because ultimately I want you guys to have an absolute blast!

I’m lucky enough to be surrounded by gorgeous venues in Lancashire and South Lakes, but I do love getting out of the area and shooting in new places, I've kitted my campervan out to be self contained enabling me to work nationwide!

“WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PHOTOS! WE GAVE YOU NO CLEAR DIRECTION OF WHAT WE WANTED AND CAME AWAY IN LOVE WITH OUR PHOTOS!

YOU PUT US AT SO MUCH EASE AND KEPT US LAUGHING, YOU REALLY SMASHED IT!

YOU REALLY WILL BE REMEMBERED AS PART OF OUR DAY AND HOW SPECIAL YOU MADE IT!”
