Camberley-based documentary wedding photographer Richard Galloway captures raw, unscripted moments to tell your wedding story. Calm, unobtrusive shooting with a focus on emotion.
I’m a documentary wedding photographer based in Camberley, Surrey, and my work is about capturing the first chapter of the rest of your lives together. Weddings are full of drama, joy and quiet moments — ecstasy, nervous anticipation, laughter and tears. My aim is to record those moments as they happen and shape them into a natural, honest story that you can return to again and again. With over thirteen years of experience photographing weddings, I’ve developed an approach that values presence over posing. I don’t spend the day arranging scenes: I watch, listen and react. That means real smiles, candid conversations, and the small gestures that make each wedding unique. The result is a gallery of professional wedding photos that feel authentic and timeless — images that reflect how the day actually felt. What makes my approach different is the combination of documentary instinct and a calm, reassuring presence. Couples often tell me they barely knew I was there — and yet the photos show everything. I work unobtrusively, anticipating moments and blending into the flow of the day so people relax and behave naturally. That trust is central: when you feel comfortable, the story of the day reveals itself. My process is straightforward and personal. We start with a conversation so I can understand what matters most to you. On the day I keep things low-key and focused on capturing connections rather than staging them. Afterwards I craft the images into a visual narrative that tells your story from getting ready to the final dance. Over the years I’ve covered weddings across Surrey and the UK, and I treat every event as a privilege — an opportunity to document a distinctive celebration of two people and their families. If you’re looking for a wedding day photographer in Camberley who prioritises emotion, authenticity and storytelling, I’d love to hear about your plans. My work is grounded in respect for the day and the relationships it celebrates, and I aim to deliver professional wedding photos that feel true to you.
