Why clients come back

I've been shooting across Cambridge and the surrounding region for over 8 years, including regular work across Ely and East Cambridgeshire. In that time I've worked inside Ely Cathedral, hotels and function rooms, private homes, and outdoor venues across the area. Every shoot is different, but what clients tell me they value most is the same thing: I turn up, I'm easy to deal with, I deliver fast, and the images are ones they actually use.

You won't know I'm there
I read the room. Quiet in the background when the moment calls for it, hands-on when it doesn't. You focus on your event, your guests, your day.
You won't be chasing me
Events delivered in 24 to 48 hours. Weddings within a week. Most other shoots within 48 hours. Your gallery lands while the shoot is still fresh.
You won't be taking a risk
Backup cameras, backup lenses, backup cards on every shoot. Full public liability insurance. 8 years of experience and 1000+ galleries delivered across Cambridge.

We found Richard to be very friendly and helpful during our wedding day, we love the pics he took and they sum up the day perfectly for us, I would definitely recommend him if you're thinking of hiring a photographer.

Having spent some time looking for a photographer who could capture a very small wedding party at a reasonable price I was so glad I chose Richard. He seemed to understand exactly what was needed and was extremely polite and efficient. He was also very relaxed and friendly so everyone felt at ease.

We cannot recommend him highly enough. He photographed our daughter Jessica and Tom’s wedding and went above and beyond throughout the entire day. He has such a lovely, kind nature and made everyone feel relaxed, comfortable and special. So many of our guests commented on what a genuinely nice man he was. He also stayed well beyond the agreed time to make sure he captured everything, which we really appreciated. Debbi and I both felt he was an absolute pleasure to have at the wedding and helped make the day even more special. A fantastic photographer and a genuinely lovely person. Thank you again!

Richard was absolutely fantastic. The photos from our son’s first birthday are beautiful – he captured every special moment so naturally, and we couldn’t have asked for more. On top of that, he was an absolute pleasure to have there. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how lovely he was and how much they enjoyed chatting to him. He made everyone feel comfortable, and I think he’s gained quite a few lifelong fans! Thank you so much, Richard. We’ll treasure these photos for years to come and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you.

Before you book

Everything you might want to know before booking. If your question isn't here, just ask.

It depends on the shoot. Events are usually delivered within 24 to 48 hours, weddings within 7 days, and most other shoots within 48 hours. Everything is professionally edited and delivered via a private online gallery.

Every good shot from the shoot, professionally edited, delivered as high-resolution digital files with full usage rights. No per-image charges, no watermarks, no extra fees. Print them, share them, use them on your website, social media, marketing materials.

Send me a message with your date, venue, and roughly how long you need me for, and I'll come back to you within a few hours with availability and a quote. No deposit to enquire.

Yes. I carry full public liability insurance and can send a copy of the certificate to any venue or client that needs it before the event.

I bring backup cameras, backup lenses, and backup memory cards to every shoot. If anything fails I've got a second of everything ready to go, and your event keeps moving without you ever knowing there was an issue.

No problem. Send me a message describing what you're trying to achieve and I'll tell you which service fits and what it would cost. I'm based in Cambridge, about 15 miles from Ely, so travel is included. Most enquiries are straightforward and I can usually give you a clear answer within a few hours.

I offer event photography for corporate conferences, festivals, and private parties; headshot photography for professionals and teams; interior and property photography for estate agents, hotels, and short-term rentals; and wedding photography across Ely and East Cambridgeshire.

Yes. I work with businesses across Ely and East Cambridgeshire, covering everything from event photography and team headshots to interior photography and commercial images for marketing.

I've photographed across Ely and the surrounding area, including Ely Cathedral and its conference and function spaces, The Maltings, Oliver Cromwell's House, The Poets House hotel, and various community halls and private venues across East Cambridgeshire. If your venue isn't on this list, it's almost certainly still one I can cover.

I'm based in Cambridge and cover shoots across Ely, East Cambridgeshire, and the wider region.
