Franchi amd Mike. Amazing Quality.

Outstanding professionalism and truly great photography!

Rick is amazing! We would never go anywhere else for photos now, and consider Rick the best! From the first day we met him over two years ago, we knew he was the right photographer for us for our wedding day. Always professional and with great suggestions, our first meeting with Rick showed us how friendly he was and so supportive in what we envisioned. We had to change our date three times, and on all occasions, he was so wonderful and made the moves so smooth and easy for us. We managed to get our pre-wedding shoot in with Rick before lockdown in 2020 and it was a wonderful morning just chatting and getting lots of natural photos which we were over the moon with. We made a vast list of who we wanted photos with on the day and where we wanted them as well! Rick knows Mere Court where we got married really well, so we knew this was a bonus! From the second Rick stepped in to the hotel on the morning of our wedding, he made us all feel really comfortable, happy and excited! The photos are just so incredible and really do speak a thousand words! The thought, detail and care gone into each photo is outstanding, and we are just so happy with every single one of them! Rick went above and beyond from start to finish, and we cannot wait to go back when our second child is born for another day of photos! Thank you so much Rick! Amazing quality and outstanding detail and professionalism. Franchi and Mike.

Kind Review from Dale and Karen
Rick was our Wedding photographer for our big day in August 2021. Rick came highly recommended by one of our other wedding suppliers and once we viewed some of his portfolio, we knew he was the one for us. My wife and I met with Rick well before the Wedding where we all got to know each other, he walked us through the sort of pictures and poses we would do on the day, he took several photos which was our Pre-Wedding shoot and we just had a pleasant chat and stroll through some local gardens which Rick had recommended. It was obvious from this first meeting that Rick has a great passion for his work but also goes that extra mile in getting to know his clients and what they want from their day. On the wedding day Rick worked tirelessly to get all the usual wedding photos and was there from very early in the morning to well in the evening, he has a great skill in catching those lovely candid moments where people are just enjoying themselves. The pictures themselves are amazing and viewing them brings all the memories of the day back to life, he makes such good use of his surroundings to get some truly lovely shots. I would happily recommend Rick to anyone looking for that special photographer you will not be disappointed.

He captured the humour and joy of our day perfectly!
Wedding Day 31st July 2021
Planning a wedding at any time can often be a stressful process but then, throw COVID in to the mix and that stress is amplified We had three wedding date changes due to lockdowns, rules changes etc. But fortunately for us our photographer Rick Dell didn’t add to the stress, he went out of his way to be accommodating with the date changes we had to make and was adept at communicating with us throughout the whole unprecedented period – one of the many reasons that we chose him!
We initially were recommended Rick, by several friends and colleagues who had used him as their wedding photographer and he certainly came through! Right from the moment we met him we were put immediately at ease – looking at his previous work in his studio filled us with even more confidence that he was the right photographer for us. He discussed with us the types of shots we would like and advised us with what shots would work well as he had an extensive knowledge of our venue.
When the day of the wedding arrived, Rick fitted seamlessly into the day, not only making sure that we had the pictures that we requested but he also took a mirade of images of our special day thats were so natural and candid – this was exactly what we wanted. He captured the humour and joy of our day perfectly! Each image we have is an absolute accurate reminder of the day – which we will treasure and re-visit for ever! I would highly recommend Rick Dell!

We met Rick 2 years before our wedding at the Event City wedding fair; he was the first photographer that we met here and from then on we didn’t bother trying to find another one; he blew us away. Throughout planning our wedding, I was looking for suppliers that I could chat to, that were friendly, and that I had a connection with – Rick was so well suited to us and his products and style matched what we were looking for perfectly. Throughout the whole process; from meeting him, to our engagement shoot, to the planning and the actual wedding, Rick was always so professional.

I can’t describe how elated we were when we went to view our wedding photos last night; Rick captured the day absolutely perfectly and we were blown away – I don’t know how we’ll choose the ones for the album!

Another thing to note is that Rick’s products are second to none, he has lots of fresh, new ideas and isn’t a photographer that is stuck or set in his ways; he is always up for trying something new. The quality of his work speaks volumes.

If for any reason you are debating between two photographers or you are stuck in a field of wedding planning; go to visit Rick and your decision will be made there and then.

Thank you so much Rick for capturing our day so perfectly; these photos are the memories that will stay with us always. Not only did we book a new photographer, we met a new friend and it was a pleasure to share our day with you. xx

What can I say about Rick? From the minute we booked him at the wedding fair at the Trafford Centre, we knew we had made the fight choice. Rick’s communication was excellent and we knew exactly how the day was going to run and where he was going to fit in.

Rick’s ability as a photographer is second to none in my opinion and my wife and I are thrilled with the photos that Rick has presented us with. The sheer number of photos Rick gave us to choose from for our album meant that we have a record of every second of our amazing day captured in stunning detail.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rick to anyone who is looking for a professional and friendly wedding photographer

Thank you Dave .

Review by Laura. Wedding day at Peckfortan Castle .

Rick photographed our wedding in February and honestly we could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day! Rick’s attention to detail is spectacular, his photographs are stunning and he offers the very best service from start to finish. Rick is such a really nice and friendly person who made us feel relaxed throughout the day and kept us smiling, all the while being extremely professional and catching us at our most natural and happiest. His experience is next to none. We would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking for a photographer to capture their memories.

Thank you  Laura and Neil.

Highly recommended

We had the privilege of Rick being our photographer for our wedding in August 2021. He was highly recommended to us by our venue and our other suppliers. We had our pre wedding photo shoot in  Altrincham, it was clear from here that Rick was passionate about his work and a lovely guy; we felt at ease straightaway. On the wedding day he arrived early and stayed till late with his passion and enthusiasm from the get his. Rick knew every inch of the venue and where he could get the best shots from of me and my new husband. Everyone was so complimentary about Rick and said how lovely he was and how he made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, we have no hesitation in recommending Rick. Thank you again for photographing our wedding, Kaley and Tom.

Made photos fun instead of boring
Rick did our pre-engagment shoots which were fun and amazing at a beach. He has photographed our wedding and was fantastic, very calm and controlled, made photos fun instead of boring. He listened to what we wanted and delivered perfectly. He added extra little bits to make the photos better. He took professional ones aswell as casual photos. We couldn’t have asked for a more friendly professional where the pictures were stunning. Great service and amazing pictures. Can’t wait for our album. Thanks Rick.

    Absolutely outstanding

Rick Dell recently took the photos for our wedding and he really made our day special by making us so relaxed, making us laugh, guiding us through the photos and making us feel like the most important people in the world. He helped us through COVID and remained professional throughout and helped us when we had to postpone our wedding. He was very flexible and made us feel special. He did exactly what we wanted him to do and did not put any pressure on us to do anything different. He is a true professional and I would recommend him to all couples who are getting married. He will make you feel like the most important people in the world and he will take the time getting to know you. His prices are fair and reasonable because he quite literally “does the whole package” and he takes the time to go to through everything with you. We were thrilled with him and would use him again.   Helen wedding day  August 2021

Far exceeded our expectations
2 years ago

We heard about Rick through a friend as Rick had photographed her son’s wedding. After viewing some of these photos and looking at his work online, we arranged to meet with him. After meeting Rick and viewing more of his work, it was an easy decision to use him for our own wedding.

Leading up to our wedding, Rick spent a lot of time researching and visiting our venues and found a place that we could visit between the church and reception venue for beautiful shots. He looked at various routes and planned everything perfectly. We really didn’t expect Rick to go to the lengths that he did for us.

Rick was with us from 10am to 10pm on our wedding day and a lot of the time, we didn’t even know he was there. He was professional and friendly and captured natural and emotional images that far exceeded our expectations. We would definitely recommend the night shots as well as they are stunning.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Rick.

Rick, thank you so so much for the fantastic compilation of photographs that you captured for us at our wedding celebration at the Cottons Hotel and Spa on Saturday 13th September. We had a fun time working with you to capture the perfect shots within and around the grounds of the hotel throughout the afternoon and into the evening. You worked extremely hard, a true professional through and through. It has been difficult selecting our favourite 90 for our wedding album because there are so,many beautiful photographs. Thank you once again for that extra special touch. We would have no hesitatation in recommending, you, your talent and professionalism. All the very best, Kind regards  x

For anyone wanting a stress free, highly professional wedding photographer Rick is your man. We can’t speak highly enough of him. From the minute we sat in his office to the picking up of our album he’s made everything so easy. We now have a beautiful wedding album filled with fantastic memories of our day, natural and relaxed pictures. He even goes along with the idea of a bride standing on a tractor for a pic!! A colleague of mine commented that his Italian Storybook is ‘the most beautiful album’ she’d ever seen. Thank you Rick for capturing it all for us! The Kemps x

We had Rick for our photographer after much searching through the internet and also wedding magazines. On meeting him and seeing how knowledgeable he was and the quality of the work he produced, our minds were made up.

We were not disappointed.

Not only was he friendly, funny and so good at putting everybody at ease (it was like he wasn’t even in the room with us at times), the pictures we have received from him are simply fantastic.
He has captured everything from pure emotion to fun-filled poses and even wonderful sparkler-filled night images. To say we were impressed is putting it lightly. He made our wedding day, because now we get to re-live it every time we look at the pictures. So, thank you Rick!

We would highly recommend Rick for wedding photography. He is very professional and produces very high quality images. He really captures the moment.

Rick is very efficient and after our engagement shoot and wedding, we received our images very quickly.

We’d recommend going for an engagement shoot with Rick. It’s a good opportunity to get to know Rick and he to get to know you too. Rick soon puts you at ease in front of the camera and is very amenable to any requests.

Thanks for everything Rick!
