Richard Payne Photography

I've been shooting weddings for over 15 years, before that it was mainly magazine work shooting fashion and portraiture with some documentary thrown in. I think it's those early days that has kept my eye in and can still influence my work today.

“...he really is a breath of fresh air in the increasing market of common wedding photographers...”

“...real, human interaction and emotions that happen at weddings, and some way cooler than your average shots, and how refreshingly unpretentious he was...”

“...we got to spend the whole day with our family and friends rather than posing all day...”

Taken from my Google reviews.

By shooting in two formats, Digital and 35mm black and white film everything suddenly looks more fresh and interesting. My actual style allows me to shoot very discreetly and unobtrusively. I will document what unfolds in front of me rather than orchestrate it.

Whether it be travelling on a 15 hour bus journey the length of Sri Lanka or a hop down the M20 I've covered pretty much every scenario there is. Look around the Website and get a feel of what I do but I am still a firm believer in the personal touch, the quick meet over a coffee, a chat at a wedding fair or anywhere we get the chance to engage for a quick moment to actually see the actual book I offer, you get to hold some black and white hand prints and hit me with any questions.
