Fantastic photography!

Richard is an extremely talented photographer - to the point that after our engagement photos we knew we wanted to choose him as our wedding photographer as well. He really knew how to capture the essence of our relationship through the photos. On top of that, Richard is super friendly and kind. During the shoot, he guided us through different ideas, angles and locations. He has a lot of experience in wedding photography and I couldn’t recommend a better photographer for an engagement or wedding album than Richard from Raw Weddings!

Incredible, professional photography.

There was great communication from the start with Richard, he was very professional, listened to all our requests and blended in with all the guests. We got our images back very quickly and absolutely loved them all

Outstanding

I don’t think we could have booked a better photographer. The photos are phenomenal, capturing all the happiness of the day and all the key moments. Richard was so easy to work with and his passion for photography really shone through. We are going to need to buy a lot more frames because so many of the photos will be going up on the wall!!

Absolutely amazing!

I chose Richard having used him professionally - as soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted to have him be my wedding photographer, knowing how brilliant, friendly and calm he is - not to mention how amazing his photos are! He was fantastic with all the communication up until the day, and on the day arrived early and was snapping away before we arrived. He was with us throughout the day and took so many amazing, brilliant photos - posed and candids, we are so happy with them. The speed with which he turned them around was fantastic, too! Our guests commented on how friendly and relaxed he was and he made everyone feel at ease. The photos captured the joy of the day so well, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Richard!

Farnham Castle Wedding

Richard was and has been an incredible photographer for our wedding. Very thorough in the buildup to make sure we had everything in place for our day. He was brilliant throughout a long day that took place between sites and made sure he was present, but not conflicting with guests or our videographer. He has an attention to detail, that clearly shows through our final pictures. We love them, so thank you to Richard. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

A visual feast!

Richard embodies all the characteristics you want in a photographer – professional, artistic and fun.
From the moment we contacted Richard we knew we didn’t have to look any further. We immediately had confidence in his ability and his demeanour was warm and welcoming.
On the day he made the guests, DJ and venue staff feel at ease and was constantly thinking of new ideas and angles to achieve the best images. We now can’t stop looking at the photographs we received – a visual feast!
Highly recommended.

Exactly what we wanted

What an absolute triumph! We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer, and Richard's images captured our day so beautifully.
Richard (Raw Weddings) was so much fun, constantly had us at ease and impressed us with his unique artistic style. We knew from the second we first got in touch that he was the only photographer for us. I can't begin to tell you how many times we've laughed, smiled and cried as we go through our photos, and also how many of them we've proudly printed large to have on our walls! We will always be recommending Richard, an easy 10 out of 10.

Everlasting perfect memories

I cannot recommend RAW weddings enough. Richard was brilliant from start to finish. What stood out before our big day was his unique style and creativity when we discussed what sort of photos and look we wanted, but that shone through even more on the day. He blended in to the background perfectly but then also what we loved the most was that he WAS part of our day, interacting with our guests (especially all the toddlers!) to make them feel at ease. As a result our photos are natural and relaxed and captured the day as we wanted it. If you want professionalism and creativity, Rich is the man for the job!

Just brilliant

From the moment I contacted RAW, I received nothing but great service. We had engagement photos as well as the wedding day. All communication was quick and all our questions were answered well ahead of the big day.
On the day, everything went without any problems, there were great traditional photos as well as loads of informal, casual photos.
I highly recommend RAW photography.
