Hello, I’m Richard — the person behind Specular Visuals.
Since 2017, I’ve been working as a wedding photographer and videographer based in Birmingham, capturing weddings and events in a natural, honest, and unobtrusive way. What started as a creative journey producing music videos gradually (and unexpectedly) evolved into wedding photography and filmmaking — and it’s been an incredible direction ever since.
I’m based in Birmingham, but I shoot weddings all across the UK, from countryside venues to city celebrations, as well as destination weddings abroad. Every wedding is different, and that’s what keeps me inspired — real moments, real people, and real stories.
My Style – Natural, Documentary Wedding Photography & Videography
My approach is simple: capture your wedding day as it actually happens.
I specialise in relaxed, documentary-style wedding photography and videography, focusing on genuine moments rather than staged ones. That means no constant posing or interruptions — just the real atmosphere, laughter, and emotion of your day as it unfolds.
Of course, I’ll guide you when needed for a few portraits, but nothing forced or awkward. Most of the time, I’m blending into the background, capturing moments between you and the people who matter most.
If you're looking for a Birmingham wedding photographer and videographer who keeps things calm, natural, and unobtrusive, you’re in the right place.
A Bit About Me
Photography and videography aren’t just my work — they’re what I genuinely enjoy. I’m always creating, experimenting, and refining how I capture people and moments.
I’m pretty chilled and easygoing, and that naturally carries into how I work. I know being in front of a camera can feel a bit unnatural, so I keep things relaxed and pressure-free.
No awkward posing. No overcomplication. Just a calm, friendly presence so you can enjoy your day.
35mm Film Wedding Photography – A Timeless Add-On
Alongside digital coverage, I also offer 35mm film wedding photography as an optional add-on.
Film is something I genuinely love working with — the colours, softness, and character create a look that digital can’t fully replicate. It brings a nostalgic, timeless feel to your wedding gallery and sits beautifully alongside modern photography and video.
For couples who want something a little different, film is a perfect way to add an extra layer to your story. Take a look here.
