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.

Richard came to photograph and get some clips of our event. He was kind, professional and the images and videos are of excellent quality! I would not hesitate to use Richard again at our event next year.

Richard was the best photographer we have ever come across and we are so grateful he was available for our wedding. His kind and relaxed nature means he is able to capture the most intimate and beautiful photos. There is no one we would recommend more to hire for your event photography. Thank you for everything!

Richard did a fantastic job photographing our short-let property in the Cambridge area. He was flexible with scheduling and carefully considered the weather to get the best shots. Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, delivering exactly what he promised. The photos were of outstanding quality, with a great eye for detail and presentation. Highly recommended, value for money!

I hired Richard Howell Photography to take photos of our home. Richard was fantastic to work with - I was nervous hiring from the internet and never having hired a photographer before - but Richard was super polite, professional, creative and always answered my questions promptly. But the best thing was how happy I am with the end result - the photos that Richard took of our home are perfect. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a great photographer and a professional, creative and kind person to work with.

Questions, answered

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

Most event galleries are delivered within 24 to 48 hours via a private online gallery. For larger multi-day events I'll confirm the timeline upfront so you know exactly when to expect the images.

Every good shot from the event, professionally edited, delivered as high-resolution digital files with full usage rights. No per-image charges, no watermarks, no extra fees.

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.

Send me a message with your event 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.

I've photographed events across Bury St Edmunds and the surrounding area. The town has an exceptional range of event venues, from The Athenaeum, one of the finest Georgian assembly rooms in the country, to The Apex concert and conference venue, the Abbey Gardens for outdoor events, the Cathedral, Moyse's Hall Museum, The Angel Hotel, and The Northgate. The surrounding Suffolk countryside also has a strong selection of barns, country houses, and private estates regularly used for corporate entertaining and celebrations.

Yes. I'm based in Cambridge, about 28 miles from Bury St Edmunds. A small travel charge applies for bookings in Bury St Edmunds and I'll always confirm this upfront. I also cover events across the wider region including Cambridge, Newmarket, Haverhill, Ely, and Thetford.

I cover corporate events and business conferences, private parties and milestone birthdays, charity galas and fundraisers, live performances and concerts at The Apex, community festivals including the Bury St Edmunds Christmas Fayre and events in the Abbey Gardens, school prize-givings and open days, and sporting events. If your event doesn't fit neatly into one of those, get in touch and I'll let you know within a few hours.
