We are so pleased with Richard Howell's coverage of our son's and daughter-in-law's reception last weekend. Richard, in his quiet and soft-spoken way, was able to so skilfully capture many , many memorable and meaningful moments in pictures that we will aways look back upon with pleasure. Thank you Richard.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()

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!Posted on Google![]()

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.+5Posted on Google![]()

I've photographed events across St Albans and the surrounding area. The city has an exceptional range of event venues, from St Albans Cathedral and its conference and function spaces to the Alban Arena, Sopwell House Hotel, St Michael's Manor, the Maltings Arts Theatre, and Gorhambury House. The historic city centre around the Clock Tower and market area hosts regular outdoor events and festivals, and the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside has a strong selection of country houses, barns, and private estates used for corporate entertaining and celebrations.
