Wedding Day 31st July 2021
Planning a wedding at any time can often be a stressful process but then, throw COVID in to the mix and that stress is amplified We had three wedding date changes due to lockdowns, rules changes etc. But fortunately for us our photographer Rick Dell didn't add to the stress, he went out of his way to be accommodating with the date changes we had to make and was adept at communicating with us throughout the whole unprecedented period - one of the many reasons that we chose him! We initially were recommended Rick, by several friends and colleagues who had used him as

Rick was our Wedding photographer for our big day in August 2021. Rick came highly recommended by one of our other wedding suppliers and once we viewed some of his portfolio, we knew he was the one for us. My wife and I met with Rick well before the Wedding where we all got to know each other, he walked us through the sort of pictures and poses we would do on the day, he took several photos which was our Pre-Wedding shoot and we just had a pleasant chat and stroll through some local gardens which Rick had recommended. It was obvious from this first meeting that Rick has a great passion for his

We had a wonderful wedding and pre-wedding photoshoot with Rick, who has been professional, warming and extremely considerate throughout. He has always been so helpful through times where we needed to shift the dates and Rick was wonderful and did his utmost to make the process as smooth as possible. Our wedding was amazing and the pictures do it the justice it deserves. The photographs are wonderful and there was a large variety of options to the shots Rick took, giving us a wide range of options to have as treasured memories of our day. Rick is compassionate and ensures the photographs are organised

Rick photographed our wedding in February and honestly we could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day! Rick's attention to detail is spectacular, his photographs are stunning and he offers the very best service from start to finish. Rick is such a really nice and friendly person who made us feel relaxed throughout the day and kept us smiling, all the while being extremely professional and catching us at our most natural and happiest. His experience is next to none. We would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their memories.

Rick photographed our wedding May 2019 and we couldnt of picked a better photographer if we tried. Rick is polite friendly and made us all feel at ease with every click of the camera. We had an engagement shoot and meetings with Rick leading up to the wedding to discuss everything we wanted from our photographs and he certainly took every photograph we wanted and more. The quality of the photographs and albums are amazing, capturing every little detail for us to treasure forever. Thank you so much Rick!
