I’m Raymond, an award-winning wedding photographer based in Hawarden. I specialise in documentary-style wedding photography that captures honest moments, with engagement shoots and beautiful albums.
I’m Raymond — an award-winning wedding photographer based in Hawarden, passionate about turning the unscripted moments of your day into timeless images. My specialism is wedding photography: I combine a documentary (reportage) approach with considered portraits so you get a complete visual story — the small, candid emotions alongside carefully crafted bride and groom portraits. Why choose me? I aim to be unobtrusive yet present, capturing laughter, tears and those fleeting details that make your wedding unique. My background in commercial and advertising photography gives me a strong eye for composition and lighting, so whether it’s a sunlit outdoor ceremony or an intimate indoor reception I create photographs that look natural and polished. I’m proud to offer full printing rights so you can share and print your images freely. How I work: I start by listening. A short pre-wedding conversation or planning call lets us align on mood, locations and any must-have family shots. Many couples appreciate an engagement shoot to get comfortable in front of the camera — it’s a relaxed way to build rapport and ensure you feel confident on the wedding day. On the day itself I balance unobtrusive reportage with gentle direction for portraits, helping even camera-shy couples feel at ease. The result is a full, authentic narrative of your wedding day — from the quiet preparation moments to the big celebrations. I deliver your images digitally via secure transfer, and I’m happy to help with albums and printed keepsakes that preserve your memories for years to come. Based in Hawarden, I regularly photograph weddings across North Wales, Cheshire and the North West. While I also undertake business and advertising photography and occasional architectural shoots, weddings are where I truly specialise — it’s where my storytelling instincts and technical experience combine to create professional wedding photos that mean something. If you want a calm, experienced photographer who prioritises genuine emotion and beautiful imagery, let’s have a chat. I’ll work with you to create a photographic record of your day that you’ll cherish forever.
