Story Of The Day Full Description
Since I only have a moment to capture your attention, I’ll make it simple. I undertake a limited amount of weddings per year. Each wedding gets 100% of my time and attention. Wedding photography is my profession and as such you must only expect professional results. I love prints! Over recent years I have fallen in love with prints, I have them all over my house and in frames ready to hang if my wife will let me, I always include at least a small amount of prints with every wedding, even if they haven't asked for them. If you have any questions please ask, visit my website, or give me a call, I'm never far away..

we cannot thank you enough
We used Rich as our wedding photographer and we were certainly not disappointed. I have received the presentation box this morning with all our prints and memory stick, and even that alone is beautiful.. not to mention the very quick turn around time too! I had been looking at photographers which friends had previously used, all of which were big names in the local area however I am so happy we came across Story Of The Day! Rich, we cannot thank you enough for capturing our special day

We are so pleased
We’ve just received our photos and are so pleased! We cannot thank Rich enough for capturing everything we asked for, and more. His laid back, relaxed attitude is a massive bonus; from the first email exchange up until after the wedding, a true professional. We would recommend Rich to any one wanting a photographer for their big day. Thank you again! Ashley & Tom x

A great day
Richard did some fabulous engagement photos and a family shoot for us and we are really delighted with the photos. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone and we look forward to seeing him again for our wedding photographs.

Richard photographed our wedding at the end of May and he captured the day brilliantly. The photos are amazing and exactly what we asked for...everyone having a good time. The presentation box with our USB and prints is a lovely keepsake of our day. THANK YOU! - Jenny + Kieran

Rich is amazing and I cannot thank him enough
Rich is amazing and I cannot thank him or recommend him enough! He went above and beyond (literally!) to get the best snaps! He quietly tottered round all day and night taking natural shots of both me and my husband and all our guests, he made everyone feel comfortable, catered to peoples requests and I am so unbelievably excited to see all the final shots! Thanks again Rich! - Olivia + Mark

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Meet up or chat, discuss the day, the timeline and all the details. I always try to help the wedding run a smooth as possible for the bride & groom, so they can enjoy the experience, whilst I worry about the things I already know they want. I aim to stay for the entire event, I don't leave till I have everything, including the 1st dance and cake cutting. I will usually prepare a "sneak Peek" gallery on the couples personal wedding web page I build for each event within 48 hours, before proving a full edited gallery within 4/6 weeks, available for everyone to enjoy, along with any video footage.

Take fun pictures outside in the rain, find somewhere inside that could be used as a mini studio, wait for a break in the rain and shoot some dramatic shots with the clouds.

Describe how you got into photography.

Shooting bands and live shows I was working at for 10 years before becoming a parent, then taking thousands of pictures of my growing family, leading to a full time hobby, then learning and eventually starting a business.
