I always say "I don't do weddings" when asked about my photography. It's true! I capture your stories and memories and do more than group shots and tick checkboxes off a list of photos.

About Richard Chalmers Photography

I always say "I don't do weddings" when asked about my photography. It's true! I capture your stories and memories and do more than group shots and tick checkboxes off a list of photos.

I have photographed weddings since 2003, and started when a friend wanted 'real' shots rather than run through a list of clichéd group photos. I prefer capturing the real emotions, un-posed moments and the spontaneous happiness and laughter. I decided people deserve better than the 'cookie-cutter' shots outside the wedding venue or the 'cheese' smiles when everyone wants to just enjoy the moment. I take photos which reflect your love for each other and the story of your special day.

I like to keep things un-stressful and relaxed and let you just get on with enjoying the day without worrying about me missing any of the best bits.

With a range of packages to choose from, there's certainly something for any budget or personality, and I'd love to be a part of your magical day too!

I am fully insured for both public liability and professional indemnity as well as certified in Covid-19 prevention.

I have photographed weddings since 2003 in both the UK and Asia, and all started when a friend asked me if I'd shoot their wedding because they liked my other work. . My style is mainly reportage and candid as I prefer capturing the real emotions, un-posed moments and the spontaneous happiness and laughter. I believe couples deserve better than the 'cookie-cutter' shots outside the wedding venue or forcing everyone to smile and say 'cheese!'. I take photographs which reflect you, your friends and family's love and the story of your special day. People comment of how relaxed I am and how calming that is. I keep things un-stressful and relaxed and let you just get on with enjoying the day without worrying about me missing any of the best bits. I've also worked in the Events Industry for 21 years, so I'm pretty bullet proof when it comes to weddings. With a range of packages to choose from, there's certainly something for any budget or personality, and I'd love to be a part of your magical day too! I set times to give myself 'goal posts', but I'm very flexible when things change. I am fully insured for both public liability and professional indemnity as well as certified in Covid-19 prevention.
