Richard Longfield Photography

Richard Longfield Photography is a Longfield-based wedding specialist who creates natural, timeless images that reflect the real personality of each couple. With a warm, unobtrusive approach, Richard focuses on capturing the story of your day — from the quiet moments of preparation to the laughter, tears and energy of the evening celebrations. He believes the best wedding photos come when couples feel relaxed and free to be themselves, so his style blends candid documentary coverage with thoughtfully composed portraits. Central to Richard’s process is getting to know you before the wedding. Every wedding package includes a pre-wedding photoshoot: a relaxed session that builds rapport, helps you feel comfortable in front of the camera and gives Richard insight into how you interact as a couple. That familiarity pays dividends on the day itself, producing more natural expressions and confident portraits without intrusive posing. On the wedding day Richard aims to be present but unobtrusive. He’ll capture bridal preparations, ceremony highlights, couple portraits and the atmosphere of your reception — often staying through the first dance and into the evening so no important moment is missed. His editing approach enhances the emotion and atmosphere of each image while retaining authenticity: colour and black-and-white conversions, careful retouching where needed and a consistent visual tone that sits between documentary realism and classic bridal photography. Although weddings are Richard’s primary focus, he also shoots portraits and occasional commercial or family work, bringing the same relaxed, people-first philosophy to every session. Based in Longfield and serving the surrounding West Yorkshire area, Richard is happy to travel further afield for celebrations and will work with you to ensure your photography reflects your day, your personalities and the things that matter most. Choosing Richard Longfield Photography means choosing a photographer who values connection, calm direction and honest storytelling. If you want professional wedding photos that feel true to you — captured with discretion, care and an experienced eye — Richard offers a friendly, personalised service designed to preserve the memories you’ll return to for years to come.
