Based in Glossop, Richard Tymon specialises in unobtrusive, reportage wedding photography. He captures candid moments and emotional details, and collaborates with a videographer.
I specialise in wedding photography from my base in Glossop, bringing a creative, collaborative and quietly observant approach to every wedding day. I work in a reportage style — I don't interrupt the flow of the day, but I am there for the key moments, the small details and the spontaneous interactions that make each celebration unique. My aim is to produce professional wedding photos that feel honest, warm and true to your experience. What sets my wedding work apart is a combination of documentary instinct and portrait skill. Years of photographing events and portraits have taught me how to read a room, put people at ease and find flattering, meaningful compositions quickly. I focus on capturing emotion and storytelling: the nervous laugh before the vows, the candid glance between partners, the textured detail of venue and dress. I also pay attention to practical deliverables you’ll value — a varied image library with wide and close-up compositions ready for print, web and albums. I believe collaboration is essential. I take time before the day to understand your priorities and the practical needs of your wedding (timings, important guests, venue specifics). On the day I keep things calm and unobtrusive, giving you space to be present while ensuring I document the narrative of the day. For couples who want moving-image coverage, I work alongside an experienced North West videographer so photography and film complement one another without doubling up or crowding the day. My approach is rooted in integrity, clarity and a genuine love of photographing people and celebrations. I hold a first-class degree in photographic media and over a decade of freelance practise, with experience working on large festivals, prospectus commissions and editorial projects that sharpened my ability to deliver under pressure and adapt to different environments. That experience translates into confident, reliable coverage of everything from intimate ceremonies to full-day weddings. If you’re planning a wedding in Glossop or the surrounding area and want thoughtful, reportage-led photography that honours the emotion and detail of your day, get in touch. I’ll listen to your brief, explain how I work, and together we’ll create a visual story you’ll want to revisit for years to come.
