“You can just feel every emotion felt at that time”
“When I was looking to hire a wedding photographer I didn’t want a photographer or photography that was just simply photographs.
We chose Rich because he captured the little moments and emotions during our special day…
That’s exactly what I wanted from our day and I think every photo just captures exactly the moments and memories and you can just feel every emotion felt at that time and place” - Jessica
About Me…
Hi, I’m Rich, Father, Husband, and Wedding Photographer based in Market Drayton, Shropshire.
There’s something you should know about me… I can be dry and I can be sarcastic. I love Cheese, Pizza and have an incredibly bad sweet tooth. If you have a sweet cart on your wedding day, I will fight off small children for it… See… there’s that sarcasm.
Whilst I’m based in Shropshire, I’m also willing to travel.
My Style and Approach…
If you want to know what someone values, look at what they photograph. - He say’s, whilst writing this alongside a photograph of himself…. yikes!
I try not to take things to seriously (but obviously I’m professional right?!)
One thing I get told I do well is making people feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Every couple I’ve worked with has told me the same thing: “Riiiccchhhh, We don’t like having our photo taken.”
But here’s the thing: you don’t need to. My job is to make the day something that you’ll always remember (for the right reasons) and leave you with images that will fill your heart for years
Over 10 years experience photographing 150+ Weddings
Over 10 years ago I decided to pursue my passion of Wedding Photography.
Since then, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to photograph some of the most beautiful weddings at some of the best and most sought after Wedding venues in Shropshire, the West Midlands, Peterborough, Wales, Cheshire and beyond.
In a World rushing to capture moments for others to see. I choose to hold space for moments meant to be felt…
Honestly. Deeply and Unapologetically
“Where to start, Rich is an incredible person and most importantly an incredible photographer. We had the pleasure of Rich’s attendance to our wedding in September and after reviewing the gallery we were beyond grateful for his care and attention to detail during the day. As for his presence on the day he coordinated all of the group photos so well and made everyone feel normal - even those that are camera shy. The rest of the gallery consisted of photos I’m not even sure how he captured as we really did not notice him moving around so much. He did not disrupt any part of our wedding he simply caught it all through the lens while everyone carried about their day.
Rich you have been an absolute pleasure to work with and please do not change your approach, the sarcasm and witty remarks still had us laughing as we looked through the photos and I’m sure we will continue to remember them everytime we look through. We wish you very well in the future and hope you have a lot of success in your art.
Thank you for all of your ‘DIRECTION’.
Mr and Mrs Dhaliwal”
“We hired Rich to be our wedding photographer and are so glad we did! He's just utterly brilliant, we got on so well from the very first meeting and knew he'd be just right for our day.
Very kind, accommodating and relaxed his documentary style was just what we wanted for our wedding day. We had so many comments from our guests about what a nice guy he was & he took the time to chat and get to know everyone which really shows in the pictures!
We didn't want many posed pics or to spend a lot of time away from the party, so Rich went with the flow and did a brilliant job of capturing the spirit of the day. Thanks Rich for being a wonderful photographer and for the top-notch banter!
Bottom line is...He really cares about what he does and that shows in the photos he takes.

“We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. Me husband and I had never had professional photos taken before, so we were a bit nervous, but Rich made us feel so relaxed and comfortable right from the start. He guided us through poses without anything feeling forced or awkward. In fact, it felt more like we were spending some lovely, intimate time together, rather than doing a photoshoot.
He was so friendly and easy to talk to, and just really lovely to be around. From the moment we started planning, right through to after the big day, he was there for us giving advice and helping us feel excited instead of overwhelmed. I genuinely don’t think we would’ve had such a good time without him.
And the photos? Absolutely stunning. We’re so happy with them 🥰
Couldn’t recommend him enough! - Hannah and Mat”
