Information For Raw Weddings

RAW Weddings is a wedding photography company covering Oxfordshire and surrounding counties. I shoot in a natural, relaxed way, resulting in creative, beautiful imagery.

As RAW Weddings, I (Richard) have covered weddings for so many amazing couples in Oxfordshire, surrounding counties and beyond. I'm told I am friendly, fun and professional as I cover weddings (from bridal prep through to the first dance). I'm always looking for those special moments and love capturing the laughs, tears and emotions as the day unfolds. In both my shooting style and editing, I'm always creative and stylish. I offer both full and half-day packages, as well as engagement shoots. All result in beautiful images displayed in a passworded, downloadable online gallery. I shoot in a natural, relaxed way, where you and your guests will feel comfortable, and I love looking for genuine moments as you enjoy every second of your day. During couple shots I aim to take stunning portraits with creativity, attention to light, and of course fun-factor.

Top Wedding Tips

Be yourself. On your special day, you'll be surrounded by your family and friends who all will laugh and cry with you.

Be at ease and don't worry about being made to awkwardly pose during your couple shots. I always encourage natural interactions, which always result in genuine smiles and laughter.

Make sure you and your partner have some quality time together at some point in your wedding day, away from guests. It'll be a very special moment to reflect and remember.

Everlasting perfect memories
I cannot recommend RAW weddings enough. Richard was brilliant from start to finish. What stood out before our big day was his unique style and creativity when we discussed what sort of photos and look we wanted, but that shone through even more on the day. He blended in to the background perfectly but then also what we loved the most was that he WAS part of our day, interacting with our guests (especially all the toddlers!) to make them feel at ease. As a result our photos are natural and relaxed and captured the day as we wanted it. If you want professionalism and creativity, Rich is the man for the job!

Just brilliant
From the moment I contacted RAW, I received nothing but great service. We had engagement photos as well as the wedding day. All communication was quick and all our questions were answered well ahead of the big day.
On the day, everything went without any problems, there were great traditional photos as well as loads of informal, casual photos.
I highly recommend RAW photography.

Exactly what we wanted
What an absolute triumph! We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer, and Richard's images captured our day so beautifully.
Richard (Raw Weddings) was so much fun, constantly had us at ease and impressed us with his unique artistic style. We knew from the second we first got in touch that he was the only photographer for us. I can't begin to tell you how many times we've laughed, smiled and cried as we go through our photos, and also how many of them we've proudly printed large to have on our walls! We will always be recommending Richard, an easy 10 out of 10.

Absolutely amazing!
I chose Richard having used him professionally - as soon as I got engaged I knew I wanted to have him be my wedding photographer, knowing how brilliant, friendly and calm he is - not to mention how amazing his photos are! He was fantastic with all the communication up until the day, and on the day arrived early and was snapping away before we arrived. He was with us throughout the day and took so many amazing, brilliant photos - posed and candids, we are so happy with them. The speed with which he turned them around was fantastic, too! Our guests commented on how friendly and relaxed he was and he made everyone feel at ease. The photos captured the joy of the day so well, and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Richard!

A visual feast!
Richard embodies all the characteristics you want in a photographer – professional, artistic and fun.
From the moment we contacted Richard we knew we didn’t have to look any further. We immediately had confidence in his ability and his demeanour was warm and welcoming.
On the day he made the guests, DJ and venue staff feel at ease and was constantly thinking of new ideas and angles to achieve the best images. We now can’t stop looking at the photographs we received – a visual feast!
Highly recommended.

Fantastic Photography
Richard is an extremely talented photographer - to the point that after our engagement photos we knew we wanted to choose him as our wedding photographer as well. He really knew how to capture the essence of our relationship through the photos. On top of that, Richard is super friendly and kind. During the shoot, he guided us through different ideas, angles and locations. He has a lot of experience in wedding photography and I couldn’t recommend a better photographer for an engagement or wedding album than Richard from Raw Weddings!

Outstanding
I don’t think we could have booked a better photographer. The photos are phenomenal, capturing all the happiness of the day and all the key moments. Richard was so easy to work with and his passion for photography really shone through. We are going to need to buy a lot more frames because so many of the photos will be going up on the wall!!
