Posted on Angus HoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard is calm, inquisitive and listens well, and consequently able to understand the character of the subject, and therefore find the right environment in which to deliver the goal. Cambridge City has no shortage of suitable backdrops, and Richard was able to draw out excellent natural colours from the sun shining in particular ways on the buildings. I'd highly recommend.Posted on Clouds PayerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolute 5 stars all round! Not even sure where to start - Richard was super easy to communicate with, incredibly reliable, very pro-active with information in the run-up to the wedding, very clear about what was included in the package and very accommodating with all requests. On the day he put us all at ease, which you can see in the photos! We only hired Richard for an hour, but he captured the day so beautifully, all our guests were blown away by the photos. Thank you again, Richard, for giving us such amazing memories.Posted on Nikijs PukjansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you lifting our dreams and giving us a vibe we wanted to reach! Bateman EstatesPosted on Peter NormanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant Photography by Richard ! Don't miss a real professional.Posted on Liz CalvertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard was great! He was unobtrusive and yet managed to get some stunning shots of our performers. He willingly organised the images afterwards so that I could share them to individuals rather than send all. Will definitely use Richard again.Posted on Katt SparkesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard was great! He was very communicative and informative throughout the process, always replied in good time to emails and answered our questions. He photographed our wedding, and the prices were very reasonable and the images wonderfully crisp. He accommodated our 'natural, not Instagram fake' wishes for photos, and took a good amount on the day so we had plenty to choose from for our album. He has a nice, easygoing way no doubt born of experience, so was wonderful to work with and we felt we could tell him what we wanted. Recommended!Posted on James McHattieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really great photos of my two Labs. Richard was very accommodating of multiple locations and took the time to befriend my dogs. The result was fantastic photos (even on an overcast day) both static and action shots. We realised during the shoot that we didn't have a photo of us all together - but thanks to Richard we now do, and it's one of the best of the day. Highly recommended and easily worth the money.Posted on Philippa BevanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service! Richard did some commercial location photography for a client at short notice. He delivered a selection of high quality images to illustrate a business case study. Pleasure to deal with and great photos.Posted on Rosalyn JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard Howell is a brilliant photographer. He comes along to capture #TheCollaborationChoir at our varied performances. His photographs always look so striking, stunning and unique. He is such a friendly guy it is easy to be relaxed around him.Posted on Katie SharmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Richard's communication was always prompt and professional as was the work that he carried out. Our request was simple, which Richard carried out expertly whilst adding his own flare. The end results were fantastic.
