Richard Murgatroyd Photography

I don’t know where to start with how good Richard was as our wedding photographer. First off he’s an all round top guy, super fun to be around, made everything seem easy and relaxed and got on great with us and all our guests. And then the photos he delivered… wow. I am truly blown away by the quality, emotion and depth of what he captured. Every single photo is just gorgeous, and made it an incredible experience reliving the day through the pictures. Richard, thank you so much, you are THE best

We booked Richard as our wedding photographer and he was fantastic! We loved his enthusiasm and positivity from our very first contact. Richard put us at ease on our special day and brought such a wonderful energy. He was also really helpful with advice and tips about timings and other details in the lead up. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful - they really capture the spirit of the day, the emotion and laughter, as well as, the stunning venue. Definitely recommend booking Richard!

We couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Richard for being there on our wedding day capturing all the small moments amongst the big ones. When it came to the day, it was like he was one of our friends coming to our wedding. The photos Richard took of our wedding are honestly incredible - we both looked through them and it was like being transported back to the day. Looking through the photos made us feel all the love from our wedding again, it’s such a special feeling.

Thank you to Richard for photographing our wedding day! There was a lot going on over the course of the day but you captured the best moments and we absolutely loved our wedding album. We smiled so much! Richard is a professional with an abundance of energy and enthusiasm and really helped us feel at ease. The pictures were candid and showed the emotions of the day in true documentary style. Would highly recommend Richard to photograph your day or event, you won't be disappointed!

We have nothing but exceptional things to say about taking on Richard as our wedding and engagement photographer! Not only did Richard take amazing photos which captured the authenticity of our big day, but he did so in a way that made us feel comfortable about it as if the camera wasn't even there. Richard is a genuine individual that was there at every step of our wedding planning process, happy to quickly answer any questions and make recommendations when asked. Being such a friendly person, he fit in perfectly with our wedding guests and everyone he interacted with at our wedding had positive things to say about him. I highly recommend him as a photographer and hope to find a reason in future to work with him again!

We are so pleased we chose Richard as our photographer - we absolutely love our photos! But we would recommend Richard for more reasons than the great photos he takes. He is very responsive when you get in touch. He is very reliable and even booked at his own expense a second photographer for our wedding in case his wife went into labour. We felt it mattered to Richard to do a good job, and he spent ages discussing things with us in advance. He is also a great bloke to have around on the day, really calm and helpful with the logistics, particularly before the ceremony. I didn't notice on the day but looking back at the things he took photos of, he must have stayed longer than the 10 hours we booked him for, which is just another example of him going above and beyond. Basically if you are lucky enough to get the chance to book Richard, take it - we cannot recommend him highly enough!

We couldn't recommend Richard more! He has been personable and helpful from the start, and always available should you need to contact him. Richard's natural style of photography made him an easy choice for us, but it is the way in which he captures true emotion that makes his photography truly special! Every photograph is perfect and takes you right back to the moment. On the day Richard made us and everyone feel comfortable, which is reflected in the photographs. I have to add that on the day Richard also went above and beyond, he was an extremely calming influence at times that could have easily become chaotic. Richard captured every moment perfectly from start to finish, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer.

I couldn't recommend Richard more! His pictures speak for themselves but then when you meet him he is so friendly and made me and my husband feel so relaxed considering neither of us are big fans of having our picture taken. On our wedding day he seemed to be everywhere without us even realising he was there. The pictures were stunning and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Richard really captured the joy and laughter of the day and everyone said how he was the nicest photographer they have seen at a wedding and loved how the pictures were so natural. If you are looking for someone to unobtrusively document your day in such a beautiful way Richards photography is definitely for you!! Thank you again and 3 months later I still cant decide which pictures to frame because we love them all!! x

Richard is quite possibly the best photographer out there!! I met him and his wife at a wedding fair in London and we hit it off straight away! Looking through his collection of professional pictures (not just of weddings) he explained his style and it matched our thoughts perfectly. Since that moment he was easy to contact amd made the whole process seamless. We had a few skype calls leading up to the day which really helped us picture how he'd be working with us on the day. The on the day he was amazing! Arriving early, he guided us thorugh the day right up until the evening, making everything run so smoothly that we didn't stress about anything! He also arranged for a 2nd photographer (who was also amazing, thank you Amy!) to work alongside him just in case his wife went into labour, at his own expense. He has already sent me some photos and they are incredible, capturing moments we'll keep forever. Book him, book him, book him! Rebecca and Chris x

Hi Richard!! We wanted to thank you for you professionalism, your flexibility, your coolness in the stressful moments…! It’s been brilliant to see how much you enjoyed sharing that unexpectedly sunny Saturday with us. Our guests have been telling us how great it was to interact with you and to see how much fun you seemed to be having with us. The photos are really amazing. We’ve enjoyed looking through them and reliving those wonderful moments. Everybody also says that the photos are simply perfect. You have captured all our friends and family having a great time and it is nice to see so many smiling faces. We also really appreciate your efforts to record how beautiful the barn was and how hard everybody worked to make this day perfect. We cannot thank you enough for everything. We will recommend you should anyone need a photographer, though your photos speak by themselves.
