Story Of The Day Full Description

Capturing the Heart of Your Wedding Day

If you’re planning your wedding in the UK and want a photographer who truly understands the magic of your day, Story Of The Day is here to help. Based in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside, this wedding photographer loves traveling across the UK to capture your celebration in stunning locations. Couples appreciate the relaxed yet professional vibe, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from your very first conversation.

An Authentic and Natural Style

Story Of The Day focuses on telling your wedding story through genuine, natural photos. Instead of stiff poses, expect candid moments that show real emotions and the unique personality of you and your guests. This documentary-style approach means every smile, tear, and detail is captured beautifully—giving you memories you’ll treasure forever.

What to Expect from Your Wedding Photography

Every wedding is one-of-a-kind, and Story Of The Day treats it that way by taking on only a limited number of weddings each year. This ensures you get dedicated attention and a personalized experience. Here’s what’s included in the comprehensive wedding package:

  • All-Day Coverage: From morning preparations through the ceremony, reception, and up to an hour after your first dance—no moment is missed.
  • Pre-Wedding Consultation: Meet in person or online to chat about your vision and make sure everything is perfectly planned.
  • Private Online Gallery: Easily view, download, and share your full collection of wedding photos with family and friends.
  • USB Drive Backup: Receive a high-quality USB drive with all your images, ready for printing and keeping your memories safe for years to come.

we cannot thank you enough

We used Rich as our wedding photographer and we were certainly not disappointed. I have received the presentation box this morning with all our prints and memory stick, and even that alone is beautiful.. not to mention the very quick turn around time too! I had been looking at photographers which friends had previously used, all of which were big names in the local area however I am so happy we came across Story Of The Day! Rich, we cannot thank you enough for capturing our special day

We are so pleased

We’ve just received our photos and are so pleased! We cannot thank Rich enough for capturing everything we asked for, and more. His laid back, relaxed attitude is a massive bonus; from the first email exchange up until after the wedding, a true professional. We would recommend Rich to any one wanting a photographer for their big day. Thank you again! Ashley & Tom x

A great day

Richard did some fabulous engagement photos and a family shoot for us and we are really delighted with the photos. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone and we look forward to seeing him again for our wedding photographs.

Rich is amazing and I cannot thank him enough

Rich is amazing and I cannot thank him or recommend him enough! He went above and beyond (literally!) to get the best snaps! He quietly tottered round all day and night taking natural shots of both me and my husband and all our guests, he made everyone feel comfortable, catered to peoples requests and I am so unbelievably excited to see all the final shots! Thanks again Rich! - Olivia + Mark

Shooting bands and live shows I was working at for 10 years before becoming a parent, then taking thousands of pictures of my growing family, leading to a full time hobby, then learning and eventually starting a business.
