Modern, candid, & relaxed


We specialise in modern, candid, and relaxed wedding photography, capturing your wedding day with natural, fun, beautiful images

We love our job, and we would love to be part of your wedding day. We like to keep everything fun and relaxed, and always take a discrete approach, blending in with your guests, capturing the moments as they are happening. We are all about documenting the day as it unfolds, we avoid the cheesy poses and prefer to just let things flow.

We understand you will want traditional wedding photographs so don’t worry, we do include these too, and the group pictures, but that’s only a small part of what we do.

” Could not recommended Richard & Gaynor enough! They are some of the kindest and most thoughtful people who captured the essence of our big day in the most incredible way! All the photos are just incredible & they were so friendly and understanding despite our slightly chaotic families! They also kept their humour in what can only be described as the hottest day on record in Scotland! Thank you so so much both of you for everything! We absolutely adore all of your photos, they are simply perfect! Xx “
