I MAY JUST HAVE THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD

AWARD-WINNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Elegantly combining vibrant
storytelling with a modern
editorial photography style.

Hello, my name is Richard Skins and I'm a UK wedding photographer based in Bournemouth covering weddings throughout the UK and Europe. If I turn the clock back ten years, this is something I never thought I would be doing, but I'm glad life has taken me in this direction as I believe it's the best job in the world, well for me anyway. I feel fortunate to have a career which allows me to pursue my love of photography, and use it to capture one of the happiest days two people can share!

You're probably in the middle of planning your wedding, or you simply enjoy photography, either way, I'm happy you have made it on my site today. Below you'll find some of my favourite weddings that I've had the pleasure of photographing, and I'm sure there is something you will love. If you're getting married in the UK or having a destination wedding, please get in touch, as it would be great to hear all about you and what you have planned for the day.

"We feel so incredibly lucky that Richard was our photographer. He is beyond talented."
