Richard Skins Photography

Richard photographed our wedding and I can't recommend enough. We're over the moon with our photos. He was amazing at the day putting us at ease and discreetly captured so many amazing moments

The first time I saw Richard’s photography, I knew he was the only choice for us. I had never seen wedding photos that felt so full of life before; gone were all the formal portraits, replaced with natural and candid moments, captured beautifully. In the run up to the wedding day, Richard stayed in touch, made sure that he had as much information from us as possible and we felt totally confident in his planning and judgement. He was a delight to have with us on the day, as he was so chilled out, chatty and friendly. Richard was brilliant at getting us to relax for the couples shoot and has an incredible knack for knowing when something fun or exciting will happen, as he captured so many wonderfully spontaneous moments across the day! We were thrilled when we saw all the images Richard took and we now have so many gorgeous photos of our friends and family. The pictures are full of energy and life and we love them so much, we wish we could display them all! Richard worked incredibly hard across the day, staying until late in the evening as he knew the reception part was really important to us both. We have had so many compliments on the images he took and we couldn’t be more delighted with them. We would wholeheartedly recommend Richard and his work.

Richard was a fantastic photographer who made the day fly by with ease, and at no point feeling like photos were a chore. He blended in perfectly to get the most amazing candid shots of the whole party without ever being over bearing. Our whole family loved having him with us in the morning as well as we were getting ready. The final photos are beautiful and we love his use of light and the capturing of some fantastic characters and moments throughout the day.

Wow. What a guy. Everybody – and I mean everybody – commented on how hard he worked all day. He was there at 8am and I didn’t see him sit down until 10pm. He must have been exhausted. He wasn’t intrusive at all. A fly on the wall. But so much fun, that you’d want him at your party anyway! He really put us at ease and we were so impressed with the beautiful candid shots. He caught so many moments. My favourites are the ones of Stu’s brothers and my new sister-in-law setting up the ceremony space. They worked really hard for us, so it’s great that Richard caught that love and kindness on camera. With so many glamorous and staged wedding photos out there, it’s so refreshing to see Richard beautifully captured all the humbling deeds and hard graft happening in the background. The man’s an artist.

Richard was the photographer at our wedding earlier this year and I honestly cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a genuinely lovely guy and made us feel totally at ease. I can't get over how beautiful our photos are. He captured the day and the emotions so perfectly and every time I look at them all the feelings and emotions come straight back. I'm so happy we came across his website, I always knew the pictures would be fantastic based on his work that I'd seen previously, but I'm totally blown away with the photos he took for us and can't thank him enough.

Richard - you're a complete photography superstar, we LOVE our photos! Thank you for being lovely, professional, seemingly everywhere at once, unobtrusive - you have an incredible eye. We have come back to your photos again and again and keep finding new things we love – little glances you've captured, or moments we had forgotten. Our guests have also been thrilled with how many awesome pictures you've taken of everyone – one of our friends emailed us to say “ils arrivent à nous rendre carrément plus beaux gosses” - basically, the photos make us all look really awesome/handsome! Which is true! Thank you so much for agreeing to join us in France to photograph our day. We will treasure our photos forever.
