If you’re planning your wedding and want photos that truly reflect your day, meet Richard Watkins, a Kidderminster-based wedding photographer. Richard understands that weddings are all about people and the special moments you share. His passion is capturing those genuine, fleeting emotions—the meaningful glances, joyful nerves, bursts of laughter, and happy tears—that make your celebration uniquely yours. While he mainly works across the Midlands, including Worcestershire, Bromsgrove, Telford, Hereford, and Birmingham, Richard is happy to travel anywhere in the UK to be part of your big day.
Richard’s style is all about being natural and unobtrusive. Rather than directing lots of posed shots, he focuses on quietly observing the real interactions between you and your loved ones. This means your wedding day flows naturally, and your photos capture the true emotions and atmosphere of the celebration. Of course, he’ll offer gentle guidance when needed—especially to make the most of beautiful lighting—but his priority is to let you enjoy your day without feeling like you’re stuck in a photoshoot.
My first as main photographer will always stand out. The one with the mechanical rodeo bull was also an interesting one!
Customer satisfaction.
Try to relax and enjoy the day. If small things don't go to plan, don't sweat about it. Ultimately, if you end the day married, it has been a success.
Transparent umbrellas to let the light through, but I always bring a few with me, just in case.
My Dad got me interested as soon as I was old enough to not drop his camera! For him it stayed a hobby but it got me interested in creating images. I had my own camera for my 16th birthday. Initially I was developing my own film and printing black and white prints our garage dark room.
