Meet your Photographer
Hi there, I’m Rhys, the face hiding behind the camera at weddings, capturing both the magical moments and the hilarious ones throughout the day. I have an amazing wife and 2 children who keep me on my toes and push me to keep improving. I absolutely hate talking about myself and having my own photo taken, so please continue to read on to make the pain worth it! I live in Oxfordshire, although I have called many places home over the years, including Cornwall, Norfolk, Wolverhampton and Wiltshire.
Family and photography has always been important in my life. Growing up, I would “borrow” my dad’s camera and snap away whenever I could get away with it. It seems only natural that I found my favoured forms of photography being those where I could capture moments and memories for others, giving them something special to look back on that causes a smile.
I genuinely love helping people to be themselves in front of the camera. Trust me, I get it, I don’t like having my photo taken either!
My Style
By creating a relaxed and fun enviroment, I hope that everyone that trusts me to capture their wedding enjoys their whole day. I’m told that previous weddings have felt like a having an old friend there to capture the wedding day, the exact vibe that I find creates the best photos.
I love meeting new people, learning about them and discovering what makes them tick. Everyone has a story - I want to capture it and show it off honestly. I try to emulate the best bits from those I have worked with and enjoyed being with. My wedding photographer was impeccable at making us laugh just before the shot, ensuring natural smiles and interractions throughout the day - I aim to do the same!
I’ll help you with posing and prompts so you look you’re very best, but my favourite shots are the more candid ones, where you forget that I was there. I don't get in the way of your wedding day, I become part of it, mingling with you and your guests whilst capturing the events around us.
Your wedding day is for you to enjoy, whilst trusting your photographer to capture the day rather than interrupting or taking you away from your guests for hours at a time!
It's your day
Choosing Rhys Murray Photography means more than just hiring a photographer; it's gaining a friend who genuinely cares about making your wedding day as perfect as you envision. I understand the significance of your celebration and seamlessly blend into the background, capturing beautiful, unposed images that tell the unique story of your day.
