Digital Innovation
Richard uses Nikon professional cameras and equipment, to produce your images and albums. He is a Photoshop genius, and uses it's power to bring you your images, fast! Proofs are usually ready within a week of the wedding. As well as your proof album, your images are also published in your own online gallery for friends and family around the world to enjoy. For the past few years Richard has shown wedding photographs from the day right at the reception! During the meal, he will prepare your images for a slideshow on a laptop or big screen display (space permitting) during the evening. This has proved to be a huge success. Guests love to see what went on earlier in the day, and can take a card to view the images online later. Tears and laughter are entirely normal during this stage, and the instant feedback has even enabled Richard to understand the images guests love the most.

“Photos this good are meant to be enjoyed! Thankfully the days of film and it's old business practices are behind us. For years, photographers either shot just enough images for the album, leaving little choice, or if they shot many rolls of film, most of the images never saw the light of day! Photographers would make as much again from reprints as from their initial fee. But now we live in an exciting time of innovation in digital media, and it's always been my aim to pass on every benefit to the bride and groom. For this reason, all our packages include the CD-ROM, with all your images, and full copyright permission to make your own prints. This is a big deal, and certainly not the case with most photographers. Once you've chosen an excellent photographer to take truly beautiful images of your wedding, I want you to feel that you truly 'own' the results.”
Digital imaging brings many great advantages to wedding photography, but not without challenges. Digital sensors require accurate exposure settings, and there is of course the huge investment in professional equipment. The transition from film to digital has been hard on many traditional photographers, and it's important to choose someone who understands the process from start to finish.
Without writing a thesis on digital imaging (which he would secretly enjoy!) Richard's secret of getting the best results is to maintain excellent standards at every step from setting up the shot to the finished print. Like a chain that's as strong as it's weakest link, his stunning photographs are the product of consistent expertise from 'end to end'. Richard's background in graphic design and print combines with his lifelong love of photography to create beautiful, modern storybook and contemporary albums.
