About Richard Howell Photography

Hi, I'm Richard - a Cambridge-based photographer with eight years of professional experience, covering weddings, events, portraits, and commercial work across East Anglia and the UK.

My approach is natural and documentary. I capture your day as it actually happens - the ceremony, the candid moments, the details - without staging or disrupting the flow. Where I do take the lead is on your couple portraits and group shots: I'll guide you through those quietly and efficiently, so the results feel relaxed and real rather than posed and awkward. Most couples aren't comfortable in front of a camera, and they don't need to be - I create the conditions for genuine moments to happen.

Every booking includes your complete edited gallery delivered within 7 days, all images that meet my standard, full usage rights, and transparent pricing with no hidden costs.

Rated 5 stars on Google and based in Cambridge. East Anglia and beyond are covered.

Our Story

I've been a professional photographer for eight years, working across weddings, events, portraits, and commercial photography. I got into it the way most photographers do - with a genuine obsession with capturing moments before they disappear.

What keeps me coming back to weddings specifically is the mix of pressure and spontaneity. Every wedding is completely different, and no moment repeats itself. That demands a certain kind of attention - being present, anticipating, and knowing when to step in and when to stay out of the way.

My approach has been shaped by years of working fast in unpredictable environments: corporate events, live performances, and press shoots. You learn to read a room, find the frame, and stay calm when things don't go to plan. That experience shows on a wedding day - in the candid shots that happen naturally, and in the portraits created quietly with the couple, without it ever feeling like a photoshoot.

Based in Cambridge. Covering East Anglia and beyond.

Typical Clients

Couples planning weddings of all sizes across Cambridgeshire and East Anglia - from registry office ceremonies to full-day barn and country estate weddings. Most want natural, relaxed photography that captures the day honestly rather than heavily posed or styled images.

They value clear communication, knowing exactly what they're getting, and not having to wait months for their photos. I also work regularly with couples eloping or keeping things small and low-key - the Essential package was built for exactly that.

Top Class!

We couldn’t be happier with Richard for our registry office wedding. He was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease on the day. The photos beautifully captured both the emotions and the little details, giving us memories we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommended for anyone looking for natural, heartfelt wedding photography. Thank you!

Fantastic, can not recommend highly enough *****

Richard was lovely, really nice bloke, top guy. blended in well with everyone hardly knew he was there to be honest, Richard managed to capture the atmosphere ( or planned organised chaos ) of our event with expertly taken photos. Didn't have to wait long either for the photos to arrive. we have been asked for your details by a few of the guest already ... Thank you Richard, five stars

Thank you so much for the review – glad you liked the photos. It was a great atmosphere on the day, and a pleasure to capture it for you.

Wonderful photos!

Highly recommended! Richard photographed our wedding and during a time that is already busy enough with planning, we were pleased with how relaxed, friendly and hassle-free the experience with Richard was. The photos are incredible and Richard's professionalism showed through with how well he organised group photos and how unobtrusive he was during the ceremony.
