The best of the best!

Rick has been fantastic to work with. He took a very personal approach to myself and my husband. We first met him at the Shrigley Hall Wedding Fair and my husband chose him because he loved the quality of images and Rick's pride in his work. He was really communicative and we had a really positive pre-wedding shoot, which gave me great faith, as I hate being photographed. Rick took time to put us at ease and compliment us. He won us over completely and on the day was incredibly supportive and caring. He also took control of the situation really well because our emotions were high. From the bottom of our hearts, we were so delighted with the pictures and the quality. We have struggled to narrow it down to the required images for the album; there are just so many to chose from. A magical day represented by a superb photographer.

Our wedding day

Rick has been absolutely amazing during the run up to our wedding. We had a great pre-wedding photo shoot with him where he put us at ease so quickly! We loved the photos and the time spent chatting with Rick. He is so easy going and friendly, it felt like we’d known him years! We were nervous about the photos and Rick managed to turn this around for us and on the big day we were not worried at all! Rick arrived on time and got to work straight away as he knew everything we wanted. Rick is amazing at what he does and he chatted to all our guests while looking after us at the same time, doing his best to get us the most amazing photos. Rick, we can’t thank you enough for all you have done for us. We are so lucky to have picked you and we’d recommend you to anyone who feels anxious about having photos taken! Within minutes Rick will turn that around! An amazing, kind and friendly professional. So glad we chose you Rick.

Excellent professional service

Rick was amazing from start to finish. We had a meeting before the wedding to discuss options and to have a look at his portfolio. He then did a pre wedding shoot so we could get used to the camera and we could get to know each other a bit better. We were so happy with those photos!
We then had another meeting before the wedding to make a list of the shots we wanted. On our day Rick was prompt and began taking photos straight away. He made sure we got all the shots we wanted and also made sure we had time and space for ourselves. It was a great day! 3 weeks after the wedding we have seen our photos and picked up the usb of them all and we are so so happy. Can't wait to show our families!
Rick is very professional and friendly and you can tell he really loves his job. We would highly recommend Rick to anyone!

Best in the North West

Rick is a pleasure to know and an absolute delight to work with.

We first met him at a wedding fair, and from this moment we knew we wanted him to take our wedding photographs.

He put us at ease during our big day and kept us laughing. Prior to the wedding day, he did a pre-wedding shoot so he could get to know us better, and also to get us used to being in front of a camera.

We honestly can’t recommend Rick enough for his professionalism and humour and if we ever need a photo shoot again, Rick will be the first person we call.

Thank you Rick.

Alison and Mike.

Amazing photographer

We had Rick for our wedding, and his work was amazing. From the pre-wedding shoot, which eased our nerves and let us know what to expect on the day, to the wedding day itself, we couldn't have picked anyone better.

Forever thankful

We were very lucky to have Rick photograph our wedding at the beautiful shrigley hall. Rick was amazing, from start to finish, from enquiry stage, to pre wedding shoot, answering my questions in between and most of all, made us feel so at ease on our wedding day. He is so friendly and went at our pace, during the ceremony and reception you didn’t even realise he was there, taking photos in the background and captured some beautiful memories. Thank you so much for creating such beautiful memories for us to look back for years to come.

Excellent service

Rick was warm and friendly from the outset. My Dad had met him at a wedding fayre and was impressed by his products. When we first met him for the engagement shoot we were immediately put at ease. Rick chose an excellent location and took some lovely pictures, which he shared with us really swiftly. As for the wedding day, Rick was running around, getting all the shots we wanted and more. He was a true professional, hardly noticed in the church, so he didn't interrupt the service and worked non-stop until the first dance. Our albums are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for capturing our special day so beautifully. Helen and Graeham

Captured our day perfectly!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! From our first meeting, Rick made us feel comfortable and understood exactly what we wanted, with regular communication and updates.
On the big day itself, he captured everything we asked for, keeping us calm and at ease throughout the day.
Our photographs and final album are absolutely stunning, capturing the fun and laughter from our day perfectly - it was such a hard task narrowing down our favourites!
Thanks again Rick for the fantastic memories!
Best wishes, Lyndsey & Lee x

And so thankful and pleased we chose him!

Creative, professional and diligent photographer

We obtained Rick's details through Hitched and thought his prices were very competitive. The quality of his past photographs spoke for themselves. Once we engaged with Rick regarding his services, he was professional, charismatic and diligent. His knowledge of scenery and staff at various wedding venues was impressive. He made our wedding photos magical and captured the best day of our lives, to date. After the wedding, Rick provided an excellent choice of wedding albums. I would recommend him highly to anyone considering his services.

So good I used him twice ;)

I first used Rick for my wedding in 1997 when he was a young lad starting out, he was very friendly and professional and knew what he was doing. The pictures were fantastic and of great quality. However that wedding didn't last, when I come to get married again in 2022. I instantly though of Rick he was very professional and friendly we went and had a chat about our expectations and what we wanted. Rick went and had a look at our venue before our wedding day as he hadn’t been there before, so he could get some ideas of best shots to save time on the day. We received our pictures not long after we returned from honeymoon the pictures were great and a beautiful reminder of our special day.
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer and would highly recommend.
