Hi! I'm Richard.
I’m a photographer who is passionate about capturing life’s most meaningful moments with a decade worth of experience and a degree in Photography and Videography. My work spans across many areas: weddings, newborns, pets, nature and conservation, but the heart of it all is the same: telling stories that matter through photography. I’m drawn to the moments that speak quietly but powerfully; The look between two people in love, the bond between a pet and their owner, or the raw beauty of nature. My style is natural and candid, always striving to show the true emotions inside fleeting moments.
If you’re looking for someone to tell your story with authenticity and heart, let’s work together to create images that will stay with you forever.
Services
Wedding Videography
The perfect photo can say it all, but it can't replay the vows and you can't listen back to the speeches, there is a real beauty in the moving image and it tells your story in a more complete way. I offer a wedding videography service that provides you with a comprehensive short film of your day. My style of videography is much the same as my photography, I focus on the small and intimate details that make your wedding day special to you.
Wedding Photography
I document weddings in a candid and documentary style, focusing on capturing those special and intimate moments that occur throughout the day. My goal is to always provide an authentic catalogue of photos that don't just remind you of the events of the day, but bring back all the emotions too.
Newborn Photography
New born babies are so incredibly special, I'm sure we all wish that they could stay in that perfect, sleepy state for just a bit longer, but every day they are growing and learning. I provide the new born photography service because I understand how fast time moves on with a new baby and I want parents to be have something to look back on, in six months, six years or twenty six years.
Pet Photography
As a fellow animal lover, I know very well the special place they hold in our families and our hearts. Having an image that captures their personality and mannerisms is a truly wonderful thing and it's something you will keep with you after they have gone. I always put your pets first. That is why I shoot either at their home or a familiar location. I pay attention to how they respond and stop if they seem stressed. I use a small set up and rely on natural light and let the animals get to know me before I start shooting.
Conservation Photography
We could all benefit from a closer relationship with nature. I am a huge nature lover and amateur naturalist. I am always looking to work with individuals and organisations to help them document their work so they can share their efforts in a professional way. If you work in the environmental or conservation, please reach out.
