Hi I'm Rich,

My Mum calls me Richard, my friends call me Jonesy, and I’ll be the guy who turns up on your big day.

I don’t have a romantic story about my photography journey,

I didn’t have a grandfather who passed down his collection of antique cameras to me. (Mine raced pigeons)

What I did do was danced awkwardly to indie music, grew my hair and wore band t-shirts, read comics and watched John Hughes movies and generally nerded my way towards the best job I’ve ever had.

I’m originally from Cardiff, I now live with my partner, two kids & our dog affectionately nicknamed “The Hound” and our cat Leo in a small Welsh village where everyone says hello to each other.

When I’m not looking through my camera, I love cooking and kitchen discos, going for walks with The Hound, & try to convince my kids the original Star Wars Trilogy is still the best.

My approach to a wedding day is super relaxed. I don’t really set up a load of shots, I just let you be you and guide you where needed, prompting over posing every time.

I’m a huge lover of personality and fun at weddings. Your day should be unapologetically you, and I make sure I capture all those little moments that you can look back on in years to come and say, yes, that was us.

My favourite images from wedding days are you being you, those real smiles, the massive belly laughs, they are not the planned shots but the ones in between.

Also, dogs, of course, the wedding dogs, always the wedding dogs.

Some things about me:

I trained to be an actor & have a degree in performing arts, I also have an HND in contemporary dance (I was very hit-and-miss at the dance part).

I give our pets nicknames.

I’m a proper geek, I grew up reading comics and still do.

I love a good watch and a good pair of daps (Nike Air Force 2 are my faves)

I love watching professional wrestling and have done since I was a kid. I know it’s “made-up” but so are films, I just love it and I own some cracking wrestling t-shirts.

I attend an online Discord movie night most weekends when I’m not working with 4 of my friends. It started to get us all through lockdown and just never stopped we have to date watched hundreds of movies.

I love a good cheese board.

WHAT MOST OF MY CUSTOMERS SAY about themselves

“We are not photo people”

That fine, me neither, I’m so much more comfortable on my side of the camera but trust me we will be having such a laugh you will forget I’m taking photos or at least won’t care.

“We are not really traditional in that sense so want to do things a little different”.

Sounds good to me, your wedding is all about you having your best day. If you don’t care about formalities and traditions or worrying about the little things – you just want to have an amazing time with the people who mean the most to you then I think we will get on great.

I love to work with chilled out couples who just want to have a laugh, have fun and don’t take life too seriously.

Couples who like to do things a little differently, who are a little camera shy and don’t tend to love having their photos taken are generally the people who book me.

So if you would like to take a selfie with me on your wedding day drop me a DM to get the ball rolling
