Richard Linnett Photography

We have used Richard for a family portrait session and for my daughter's christening. He knows just how to work with children to get the best results even when they are less than cooperative! He captured a wonderful set of images of Lydia's special day covering just about every moment from every angle. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Richard was an absolute delight to have as our photographer! Professional, patient, creative and made me and my husband feel very comfortable. Our guests even commented on how great he was and I would highly recommend him and will be using him again for future photography! Thank you Richard!

Our wedding was on 11th August 2016 at St Margaret's Church, Wrenbury, then at Wrenbury Hall Cheshire. Obviously I would presume that every bride and groom wants/needs a photographer to help capture the essence of their special day but Richard was the most perfect photographer a couple could ask for. As soon as we booked him we knew we could trust him - he always responded promptly to all our emails. We met him 6 months in advance at his studio for our engagement shoot. This was a valuable service which will surely settle any camera-shy grooms and brides. He is very enthusiastic and literally climbs ladders if he has to, he understands what is important for the day. He pictured the venues before guests arrived to capture their natural beauty. He organised the where-abouts of people to ensure we had all the shots we wanted, he brought his sense of humour to the day and made sure every little detail was captured. He went the extra mile to make sure we were happy…even staying on longer than we expected. He was able to sink into the background when needed, but also take charge when appropriate. We also booked his wife Oona who plays the Harp. She provided an extra touch of class to our wedding breakfast. Richard took over a thousand photo's on the day and we have seen them all and love them all! The quality of the images are exceptional. Richard clearly knows what to do with the images and how to make you look your best. He even tells you which poses look good. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you again Richard!

I was looking for a professional photographer to take photographs of an advisory board and the CEO of an engineering consulting company. I got in contact with Richard Linnett. From then on, everything went very professionally. Conversation was straight forward, appointment took place on time and the photographs are a dream - Richard is a star! I appreciate your time and efforts.

"There are wedding photographers and there is Richard Linnett.

We came across Richard whilst looking for a photographer for our wedding at Rookery Hall in July 2015. After looking through Richard’s online gallery and reading some of the reviews we knew that he would be the right man for the job.

After deciding which one of Richard’s excellent wedding packages to go for, we were invited to an engagement photoshoot at his studio in Chester. Richard is a great guy, and has a real passion for what he does. The engagement shoot was a real laugh, and Richard made us feel very welcome and at ease instantly. The photos which came out from the engagement shoot were stunning.

On the wedding day Richard turned up nice and early and caught the arrival of all of the guests. Along with the wedding co-ordinator Richard was fantastic at getting everyone organised for the photos. The photos which came out from the wedding are first class, and we are so happy with them.

Along with a well presented DVD containing all of the photos, Richard produced a wedding album. The wedding album is beautiful. Richard organised the photos to get everything in we wanted without making it look to crammed. Kirsty and myself are very pleased with the outcome.

Finally we would like to mention Oona, Richard’s wife. Kirsty wanted a harpist for the wedding, and it just so happened that Oona is a harpist. Oona did a fantastic job and it was a pleasure to work with Oona, and to have her play at our wedding.

From the bottom of our hearts we would like to thank Richard for his professionalism and the excellent photographs he has produced. Also we extend the same thanks to Oona. You both were brilliant.

Kirsty and myself would highly recommend Richard Linnett as a wedding photographer, and Oona as a harpist."

"Richard photographed our loopy dalmation called Sam.
Natural surroundings on Sams daily walk helped capture fantastic shots of him. Richard caught the dogs character in the shots he made happen and made myself and and Sam feel very much at home on our daily walk."

Absolutely amazing and stunning pictures. Could not have hoped for a better experience. Would not recommend anyone else for any kind of occasion where a photographer would make the day perfect.

Richard was very easy to work with and very happy to be flexible before the shoot, during the shoot, and very happy to help with images after our shoot too. We will be using him again.

Richard recently gave up his new year's day to be our wedding photographer and he was amazing! He made everyone feel very at ease and we hardly noticed he was there and yet he has produced a brilliant range of beautiful photographs that really capture all the special moments of the day. We also had an engagement photo-shoot about 6 months ago and Richard was really accommodating - he followed us all around Chester taking photos of us in places that we went to on our first ever date and the results were really impressive. We really loved having Richard at our wedding and he really was one of the wedding guests as far as we were concerned because he was so lovely to be around.

Richard took our engagement and wedding photographs earlier this year. We were very pleased with the results and would definitely recommend Richard. He made us and our family feel at ease on the day. Thank you.

Fantastic photographer! Very friendly and professional. We love the album and DVD.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with Richard and will most certainly look in his direction again for future shoots. I'm never normally one who feels at ease ""posing"" for photo's for a prolonged period of time, but Richard's direction and both friendly and professional personality eased me right in to the whole thing; he made it comfortable and enjoyable throughout and the time flew by!"

"My wife and would recommend Richard to anyone looking for Wedding Photographer.

Richard is friendly, professional and is an excellent photographer.

Liaising with Richard in the lead-up to the wedding day itself was never a problem, and once the big day arrived Richard set about capturing some absolutely fantastic shots."

"This was the first professional photoshoot that my 4 year old daughter has had. She can be quite shy (and silly!) but Richard made her feel at ease straight away, which made the shoot an enjoyable experience for her. I am extremely pleased with all of the photographs and I feel that Richard captured my daughters personality perfectly.
I highly recommend Richard and would definately work with him again. Thank you :)."

Richard was so accommodating and hospitable during our recent portrait sitting. We had never had a family portrait together before and certain members were quite reluctant, but the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. He went out of his way to put everybody at ease and make the atmosphere relaxed, he was absulutely brilliant with the young children and so patient while trying to capture the perfect photographs. The family portrait for my mum was exactly what we had hoped for, but there were so many other special photos taken that day that my family will cherish forever.
